The best burgers in Singapore

---

The best burgers in Singapore don’t have to be expensive. Essentially made from minced beef, burgers can be found in many different variations. While some choose to dish up their burgers with an unpretentious serving of cheeseburger, others like to jazz it up with a variety of snazzy ingredients. From busy hawker centres to fancy restaurants, here are the 20 best burgers in Singapore for every budget.

Less than $10

1. The Only Burger

---

Previously a home-based business during the pandemic, The Only Burger (T.O.B) is now a hawker stall near Tampines MRT Station. Based on many reviews, their best-selling beef burger is The Oklahoma Beef Burger (from $9.50), which is packed with two beef patties, double sliced cheese, tomato slices, red cabbage, battered fried onions, as well as three different house-made sauces. Fans of chicken can opt for the The Spicy Chicken Burger ($9.10), where rispy fried chicken thigh, tomato, lettuce, T.O.B spicy sauce and T.O.B garlic mayo combine for something resembling McDonald’s McSpicy.

From our The Only Burger review: “There was the unmistakable taste of paprika in every bite. Together with the punchy spicy sauce, the chicken burger had quite a kick.”

2. AshesBurnnit

---

The charcoal buns at AshesBurnnit might make the burgers darker than what they should look like, but they still pack an unforgettable taste at an amazing value. This Muslim-owned eatery is opened by a co-founder of Burgs by Project Warung, and they’ve since expanded to multiple outlets islandwide. The burgers here are smashed to give a caramelised crust and juicy interior. This is one of our go-to places for no-frills burgers.

There are a couple of burgers to choose from, but it’s hard to go wrong with their Ashes Cheeseburger (from $8.40). Each serving comes with a portion of their fries, which are thick and crispy.

From our AshesBurnnit review: “Each bite was bursting with flavours as there was a good mix of fats and lean meat in the well-seasoned patty.”

3. Skirt & Dirt

---

Skirt & Dirt‘s burgers make an instant impression thanks to their eye-catching cheddar cheese skirts. Run by the former Senior Sous Chef of the One Faber Group, the unique Cheese Skirt Burgers at this hawker stall in Tiong Bahru will only set you back $9.80 for a set meal that includes fries. If you’re not a beef fan, they also have a Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger ($8.80) starring a pork sausage patty, lemon slaw, streaky bacon, and BBQ sauce.

From our Skirt & Dirt review: “The burger has a good patty-to-bun ratio, a result of Fabian getting his custom-made patties from a local butcher.”

Address: 30 Seng Poh Road, #02-66, Tiong Bahru Market, Singapore 168898
Opening hours: Mon 11:30am to 10pm, Tue-Sun 11:30am to 8pm

4. NBCB 

---

Cheekily named homegrown burger joint NBCB has two outlets, one in i12 Katong, and another in Orchard Central. They’re known for their handcrafted burgs, most of which are priced at just over $10 for their single patty offerings. However, we highly recommend you get the DCB ($19.90), a hefty double cheeseburger with juicy beef, fresh greens, cheddar cheese, and a house-made burger sauce that’s equal amounts smoky and sweet.

From our NBCB review: “The beef patties were incredibly juicy and tender, which resulted in the meat’s fat and juices seeping into the brioche buns.”

5. One Fattened Calf

---

Family-run burger shop One Fattened Calf took the social media world by storm when they first opened. Their OFC Cheeseburger (from $16.50) is a signature that comes with a 150g patty of premium New Zealand grass-fed beef, smashed on the grill and blowtorched before serving with house-made potato buns.

Fans also love their indulgent OFC ButterBurger (from $16.50), which comes with two thick slabs of cold grass-fed butter for extra creaminess and flavour.

From our One Fattened Calf review: “Take a bite, and you’ll immediately be rewarded with a burst of buttery flavour from the tender, succulent patty.”

6. Wildfire Burgers

---

Along Robertson Walk is Wildfire Burgers, where Wagyu Burgers go for just $17++ each. Clad in soft brioche buns, these beef burgers offer decadence without breaking the bank.

These burgers are made with Snake River Farm wagyu beef, hailing from America, and are lightly seasoned, then dressed with chipotle mayo as well as caramelised onions. They can be a bit of a messy handful, but it’s worth it.

If you fancy some sides, they also do Signature Fried Chicken (from $6++), made with always fresh, and never frozen chicken parts.

From our Wildfire Burgers review: “We loved how the double Wagyu patties were neatly stacked with crispy bacon slices, sweet bacon jam, creamy baconnaise—bacon-flavoured mayonnaise—and double cream brie.”

7. The Goodburger

---

The “good” in The Goodburger’s name is a double entendre: they serve good burgers that are also good for you and the environment, given that they’re all plant-based. If you’ve ever been hesitant about trying plant-based burgers, The Goodburger will change your mind. It certainly did ours, as their burgers taste so much like real meat!

The American-style food truck concept has a permanent home in Coronation Plaza, where you can feast on their full meatless menu by their al fresco seating area, under twinkling fairy lights for maximum vibes.

Must-orders include their signature, The Classic (from $16), which gives you the full cheeseburger experience sans beef. You can even double up on the patties for extra shiokness. The cheeseburger is accented with a secret sauce that gives the burger equal amounts of smoke and zing, while pickles offer some bite. Chicken sandwich devotees ought to order the What The Cluck! ($18). The cheekily named Southern “chicken” sandwich sees a TiNDLE plant-based chicken patty as the star, slathered with a house-made, garlicky sauce and crunchy pickles for added oomph.

All burgers come with fries, but we also recommend you add on their Mozzarella Sticks ($8), served with house-made marinara sauce. Get your cameras ready too, for that #cheesepull.

From our The Goodburger review: “Juicier than many beef patties we’ve had, the ‘meat’ here was impeccably marinated, with a lovely char that added an addictive smoky flavour.”

Address: 587 Bukit Timah Road, Coronation Shopping Plaza, Singapore 269707

8. Smashed

---

Smashed, a burger kiosk along Baghdad Street, is inspired by London-style smashed burgers that’ve been pretty trendy for awhile now. Try their House Smashed ($10), which boasts a meaty and well-charred patty elevated by a delightfully tangy sauce and cheese. If you like your burgers with ketchup and mustard, opt for the Classic Smashed ($10) instead. Meanwhile, spice fiends can try the Spicy Smashed ($12), which seems sambal balado adding a fiery kick to every bite.

From our Smashed review: “Smashed serves up some seriously impressive smashed burgers, loaded with sauce, along with fries that are truly mind-blowing”

Address: 21 Baghdad Street, Singapore 199066
Opening hours: Daily 10am to 9:30pm

9. Three Buns

---

At Three Buns, almost everything is made from scratch, including their ketchup, which took two years to perfect. They’re also particular about their beef, with only grass-fed vintage beef from Australia being used. 

Da Cheese Master ($18++) puts a slight spin on the regular cheeseburger and is topped with charred onions and white miso mustard for an extra boost of umami flavours. Combined with the sharp cheddar cheese, this burger gives a good kick of savouriness that takes everything up a notch.

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 12pm to 12am, Sun 12pm to 11pm

10. BlackGoat

---

True-blue burger enthusiasts will know of BlackGoat, a not-so-secret gem in Jalan Bahru Hawker Centre. The hawker stall is run by a young chef who’s cut his teeth at Burnt Ends and Michelin-starred Zen! Their signature Cheeseburger ($14) is a must-try; this hefty burg stars a 150g beef patty that’s made with chunk and flank steak, topped with caramelised onions and a secret sauce. It’s thick, juicy, and worth the mess. We also recommend their Fried Chicken Burger ($13.50), featuring a whole deep-fried chicken thigh and house-made chipotle sauce.

From our BlackGoat review: “This burger is for those who love a good meaty patty—the meat is coarsely ground to Fikri’s specific requirements, with 20% fat and a blend of both chuck and flank steak, that gives it that extra flavour and a good bite.”

Address: 4A Jalan Batu, #01-05, Jalan Batu Market & Food Centre, Singapore 432004
Opening hours: Wed-Sun 5:30pm to 9pm (or sold out)

11. Mahmud’s Tandoor

---

Head to Mahmud’s Tandoor for award-winning eatery tandoori chicken burgers. The Crispy Doori (from $12) is a must-try, featuring a deep-fried tandoori chicken thigh slathered in harissa mayo and melted cheese, all packed between soft brioche buns. If you prefer something lighter, go for The OG (from $12), which swaps the crispy chicken for a baked version. Be sure to get some of their Masala Fries for an additional $3, or get it a la carte at $5!

From our Mahmud’s Tandoor review: “Generously portioned with relatively affordable prices, their burgers were absolutely delicious. I also found myself craving the masala fries for days after.”

13. Fatty Patty

Helmed by young hawkers, Fatty Patty is a cool hawker stall specialising in alcohol-infused burgers and grilled meats. Go for their Signature Fatty Beef Burger ($15.90), which comes with a thick beef patty, their house-made brown butter vodka sauce, fresh veggies, caramelised onions, and cheddar cheese between two brioche buns. If you want something more sinful, get their Bourbon BBQ Bacon Beef Burger ($16.90) or Double Fatty Beef Burger ($19.90) instead! All burgs are served with a side of fries.

From our Fatty Patty review: “The juicy beef patty hit the mark with its strong punch of meatiness, a nice char from the grill’s sear, and lastly a mellow tinge of booze that lingered on the tongue.”

14. Two Blur Guys

---

Two Blur Guys might sound like an indie duo, but this hole-in-the-wall eatery dishes up a mean serving of burgers. The store has been around for close to a decade now, but remains relatively under the radar as compared to other flashy burger joints. 

You can’t go wrong with their house-special TBG’S Signature Burger ($18.90+). This sloppy concoction comes with a thick USDA prime beef patty, tomatoes, sweet relish, truffle mayo, and Gruyere cheese. It’s then sandwiched between two toasted wholemeal buns, which have a slightly heavier texture than regular potato buns. The use of Gruyere cheese gives a complex and nuttier taste, as compared to regular American cheese, while also remaining mild enough to not overpower the beef.

Kowboy, an eatery along Bali Lane, offers the UFO-shaped burgers that have become quite popular on social media. Picks such as UFO Cosmic Truffle ($12.80), which features a 120g A5 Wagyu patty paired with sauteed mushrooms, melted cheese, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, fragrant truffle oil, and their house-made truffle mayo. For a great chicken burger, try UFO Supernova Mentaiko ($12.80), featuring a crispy chicken katsu topped with juicy pineapple, melted cheese, red cabbage, and a drizzle of spicy cod roe mayo.

From our Kowboy review: “The burger ingredients are wrapped in a pita bun, ensuring all the fillings and juices stay in place—perfect for anyone who finds eating burgers a messy experience.”

16. Naga House

---

Though Naga House is also known for its Japanese-inspired fare and drinks, the cafe-cum-bar is also praised for its excellent burgers. We loved their Hot Honey Chicken Burger ($15++), which features a substantial deep-fried chicken patty coated in a spicy honey sauce, accompanied by Asian slaw and American cheese, all held together within brioche buns. Also try their Smash Onion Burger ($20++), where double Wagyu patties , dill Pickles, American cheese, and crispy onions come together with great effect.

From our Naga House review: “The combination of the crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside chicken patty and the tangy sauce was just excellent.”

Opened by the same people behind the one-Michelin-star restaurant, Burnt Ends, American smokehouse MeatSmith Telok Ayer serves up a classic cheeseburger that is the textbook definition of what a quality burger should taste and look like. Their Meatsmith Wagyu Burger ($28++) is seared beautifully and packs an incredibly beefy punch, sandwiched between soft buttery toasted potato buns.

16. Burger Frites

---

Opened by the people behind popular value-for-money steakhouse Braseiro, Burger Frites whips up a delicious serving of beef burgers that are unpretentiously served with humble ingredients such as melted cheese, pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce. 

Brioche buns are the buns of choice here, and they are specially crafted for the restaurant by artisan bakery Maison Kayser. The Burger Frites ($25.90++) lets you choose your burger patty: USDA Angus Beef Patty, Homemade Fried Chicken Leg Patty, Breaded and Fried Camembert Patty, and Plant-Based Beef Patty (top up $2++). You also get to pick from four sauces, including Chipotle Mayo and Smokey BBQ.

From our Burger Frites review: “I was impressed with Burger Frites’ excellent interpretation of a beef burger. It ticked all the boxes for a quality burger, and looking at the pictures while writing this article got my tummy rumbling. ”

The burgers at BurgerLabo are some of the priciest you can find, but they are also widely recognised as part of the nation’s best. The brainchild of former marketer Tan Ken Loon, who also opened The Naked Finn, these burgers are a result of a meticulous R&D process that started in 2015. Along with the help of F&B veterans such as Julien Royer from three-Michelin starred Odette and established food writer Leslie Tay, this burger store opened to much fanfare.

They’re probably most known for their Wagyu Burger ($29.50++) that comes with a thick and juicy 150g Wagyu patty. There’s even an option to upgrade your burger to a double patty, priced at $43.50. These burgers aren’t cheap, but regulars say they’re worth the hefty price tag.

18. Black Tap

Besides serving up hefty burgers, Black Tap is also known for selling decadent over-the-top milkshakes that cost as much as their regular burgers. The ambience is also one of the best out of those on this list, with a casual yet relaxed vibe to it.

The All-American Burger ($23++) is the restaurant’s take on the classic cheeseburger and features USDA prime beef patties, lettuce, tomato, pickles, American cheese, and a special tangy house sauce. Their huge beef patties are bound to fill up any hungry belly, and there’s also a generous portion of fries given on the side. 

Scoring high points in food, ambience, and service, Black Tap is up there as one of the best burger experiences you can find in Singapore. While their burgers are by no means cheap, they make for a great place to visit on special occasions.

From our Black Tap review: ” Not for the faint-hearted or small eaters, the burger features a massive patty made from prime ground beef that’s stacked with strips of crispy bacon, a huge onion ring, and aged cheddar.”
