Best places to get a burger in Singapore
From the refined to the messy.
Decked out in cozy, vinyl booths and wood interiors, this Hong Kong-based burger chain is big on dry-aged beef patties. For burgers with distinct Asian influences try the Wu Tang that comes with a patty fried in Sriracha topped with tempura sweet potato and kimchi. For something more sinful, get the Red Eye Reduction—a dry-aged beef patty topped with maple-glazed bacon, easy fried egg and hashbrown smothered with a maple hollandaise sauce.
This no-frills burger joint is serious about what's in the bun. You’ll find American diner grub like burgers as well as a range of starters, desserts and even a small craft beer menu. The Showdown Challenge involving five 200g patty burgers and 500g of chips in twenty minutes, gets you a free meal along with your name on their Wall Of Fame
A perennial favorite among live music fans, this boisterous joint is also great for its lad food, including its signature burger, the Original Legendary 10 oz. Burger. It’s a robust bite, topped with smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, fried onion ring, lettuce and vine ripened tomatoes.
This diner-like grill is always a hot ticket with their burgers like the Bleu Cheese with burnt onion marmalade and bacon. Other fan favorites include the CW Cod Fish burger and the CW Burger Breakfast with sunny side egg. They also offer charcuterie platters, whole lobsters and premium steaks.
This casual, 1940s American-style diner gets especially busy on weekends. We highly recommend the To Die For and The Truffle, decadent in both taste and size. It also has a cocktail joint serving twists on classics alongside alcoholic slushies and American-centric shots. Oh, they also do some mean milkshakes if case you’re not feeling too boozy.
Housed in an old four-storey Chinese shop house, this vintage inspired whimsical party place does mean burgers named after pop culture phenomena like the Smokin' B-Boy—a beef patty topped with double smoked cheese, Dingley Dell beer, treacle-cured bacon, and loads of BBQ sauce. Another must-try here is the Rambo featuring a spicy lamb patty topped over with feta, aubergine pickle & cumin aioli. We know the bun tends to distintegrate before you have a chance to finish, but we like the patties and sauces a fair bit.
Willin Low's casual bistro burger joint does quirky, over-the-top burgers like the soft bone pork BBQ Charsiew burger, Ram-Lee burger, and the Hae Bee Hiam Spaghettini with spicy dried shrimp and scallops. If you’d like to go easy on the beef, there’s also a selection of pastas and salads to choose from.
A sleeper hit from last year, this cozy corner by the Botanic Gardens is all about the meat. Sure to hit the spot is The Works with spinach, a bacon weave, rosti, parmesan, onion rings, a fried egg, beer caramelized onions and guac. Also worth the try are their Asian-inspired renditions like the Sriracha Chicken or Umami burger. Don't miss their wonderful selection of affordable bottled craft beers.
