What’s your version of an ideal burger? Whether it’s a classic cheeseburger or bougie variations, we’ve got them covered. Here’s our curated (but definitely not complete) list of the best burger places in Singapore.
1. Meatsmith
This American smokehouse at Telok Ayer has truly laid down the definition of a cheeseburger. Lightly crusted potato buns, succulent beef brisket patties seared with a smoky aroma. And as you lift the perfect concoction up, buns still warm to the touch, a little bit of juice oozing out from the cracks of the caramelized patties.
You take a bite and you get a bit of the bun, the patty, the melty, savory cheese. But there’s more. The blanket of pickles not only added a layer of crunch to the fluffy buns and tender patties, but its acidic tangy profile serrated the decadent flavors of the meat and cheddar combination.
Location: 167-169 Telok Ayer St, Singapore 068620
2. Bochinche
At Bochinche, burgers get a bold Argentinian twist. Although they’re known as a steakhouse, their Double Smash Cheeseburger ($29) is hard to miss.
Their juicy beef patty is cooked over a wood-fired grill, delivering a deep, smoky flavour that sets it apart from the usual smash-style burgers. Layered with melty cheese, house-made sauces, it is a definite must-try.
Location: 27 Club St, Singapore 069413
Opening hours:
Monday: 12-3pm
Tue-Fri: 12-3pm, 6-11pm
Saturday: 11.30am-3pm, 6-11pm
3. Shake Shack
Not every food truck can turn into an international fast food chain. But Shake Shack has managed to propagate its influence past America’s borders. First opened in Jewel Changi Airport, subsequently a second branch on Neil Road, Shake Shack serves traditional smashburgers with a side of crinkle-cut fries and shakes.
Get their Double Shackburger ($12.7), a classic engineered with fluffy potato buns, lettuce and tomato; not forgetting their secret burger sauce.
Vegetarians who wish to get a piece of the burger action can order their Shroom Burger ($10.8). The patty is replaced with fried portobello mushroom encased with melty, gooey cheese which oozes out on the first bite.
4. One Fattened Calf Burger
One Fattened Calf takes the classic American burger and executes it perfectly: freshly made potato buns, premium grass-fed beef.
The OFC Cheeseburger ($16.5) is great as it is, but you can also amp it up with one extra ingredient — butter, i.e their OFC Butterburger ($16.5) that’s stacked with a thick slab of butter for extra richness.
Complete the meal with Cheese Fries ($12.5), and you’ll come back for more.
Location: 1 Fusionopolis Pl, #01-31 Galaxis, Singapore 138522
Opening hours:
Monday: Closed
Tue-Sat: 11am-3pm, 5-8pm
Sunday: Closed
5. Ashes Burnnit
For a burger that won’t break your bank, head to Ashes Burnnit. With a hawker-style setting, they are proud that good burger doesn’t need to be pricey.
What makes them different is also the use of their iconic black charcoal buns across the menu. Bestsellers are of course the Ashes Cheese Burger ($8.4), but we heard the Truffle Shroom Burger ($10) and Pulled Beef Burger ($10) are great as well.
Location: 326 Anchorvale Rd, #01- 01, Singapore 540326
Opening hours: 11am-3.30pm, 4.30-9pm
6. Chix Hot Chicken
Craving a fried chicken burger instead? Chix Hot Chicken brings Nashville-style heat to Singapore with its fiery fried chicken burgers.
The chicken is brined, fried until ultra-crispy, then coated in spice levels ranging from mild to seriously hot. You can opt for classic slider buns like the Chix Cordon Bleu ($12.9), or switch things up with waffle sandwiches such as the Chipotle Chicken Waffle ($14.9).
Location: 1 Jln Pisang, Singapore 199069
Opening hours:
Mon-Thu: 11.30am-8.30pm
Fri-Sat: 11.30am-10pm

You can choose from two burger options: the Fiery Crispy Chicken Burger ($27), topped with spicy lime aioli and house-made apple slaw, or the signature Fourth of July Royale ($29), a classic beef burger layered with bacon and egg.

14. Fatty Patty Grill
For a fun twist on your usual burger, try the boozy burger creations at Fatty Patty Grill. Their popular charcoal-grilled patties are topped with alcohol-infused sauces like brown butter vodka and bourbon BBQ, adding extra flavour to every bite.
We recommend trying their Signature Fatty Beef Burger ($15.9) and Bourbon BBQ Bacon Beef Burger ($16.9). It’s a simple, tasty upgrade to classic hawker burgers without the hefty price tag.
Location: 348 Bedok Rd, #02-09 The Bedok Market Place, Singapore 469560
Opening hours:
Monday: Closed
Tue-Sun: 11.30am-2pm, 5.30-9pm
15. Three Buns Burgers (Closed)
Proclaiming themselves as the best burger joint in Singapore, this humble restaurant places a lot of emphasis on quality, as reflected by almost all their ingredients which are made from scratch.
You could go for something big like their Red Man Burger ($28) which features an entire block of beef cheek, cooked sous vide for 24 hours before immersing in a sweet and spicy rendang spice. To add on to the local flavors, the buns are made with coconut oil and milk, resulting in a similar flavor profile to our familiar nasi lemak dish.
For something a little more traditional, go for Da Cheese Master ($15), a classic cheeseburger with an interesting spin of caramelized onions and white miso paste.
Location: 60 Robertson Quay, #01-01 Singapore 238252
16. Ollie Kitchen & Bar
For those who value gourmet burgers, Ollie’s Kitchen and Bar is the place to be. Using only the finest ingredients and adept craftsmanship, Ollie’s has managed to nurture distinct personalities within their range of cheeseburgers. You get the short-tempered, feisty Muddy Burger ($19), a burger smothered with a ladle of chilli. Then, there’s also the refined, upperclassman defined by it’s spoonful of truffle aioli- the Truffle Cheese Burger ($17.9).
Their menu is diverse, expanding to mains, brunch items and even coffee and beer. But if you’re here and you’re not ordering a burger, it’s really your loss.
Location: 176A Orchard Rd, Singapore 238844
17. Kream & Kensho
Kream & Kensho’s Beef Cheeseburger ($20) may be on the pricier side, but it shows great potential with a 180g wagyu patty that is topped with a kombu wakame mayo. The wagyu was obviously flavourful, juicy and the buns were pillowy soft. But the star of the burger had to be the sauce. The kombu wakame mayo was robust and umami and took the classic cheeseburger to new heights. However, make sure they give enough, as there was barely a tablespoon worth on the one I got.
Location: 35 Kampong Bahru Rd, Singapore 169355
Opening hours:
Monday: Closed
Tue-Sun: 9am-6pm
18. Hammees’s
Hammee’s burgers are truly a bang for a buck. Located a Commonwealth Crescent & Food Centre, their Signature Cheeseburgers cost $6 for their singles and $8 for their doubles.
You’ll definitely get your hands dirty from the thick coating of butter on their freshly-toasted buns. The patties are rich in flavour from the intense heat of the grill and a generous addition of beef tallow and is balanced out by the creamy slice of cheese and pockets of fiery heat from the chopped jalapenos. Enough of my blabbering, just take a look at the photo yourself.
Location: 31 Commonwealth Cres, #02-93 Market & Food Centre, Singapore 149644
19. 25 Degrees Burgers & Liquor Bar
The burgers here aren’t blessed with names. They’re designated numbers — Number One to Number Four. The options are limited but the amount of creativity when it comes to the ingredients on the burgers are boundless. For example, their Number One consists of *takes deep breath* signature 200g USA Angus beef patty, caramelised onions, crescenza, prelibato gorgonzola, Canadian bacon, arugula and a drizzle of thousand island sauce.
Their Number Two and Number Three are other forms of beef burgers. On the other hand, their Number Four is an entirely different game- seared yellowfin tuna with spicy aioli.
Do your wallet a favor and come on a weekday for their lunch deal instead, where you can get a set meal at $18 from 11am to 3pm.
Location: 200 Middle Rd, Hotel G, Singapore 188980
