Update: Hammee’s is currently under renovation until 2024.
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.

1. Hammee’s
Previously serving up white bee hoon along Farrer Road, the owners of Hammee’s decided to toss their wok aside and serve up the one thing they’re most passionate about—burgers. Starting everything from scratch wasn’t easy, and it took them two full months of experimentation before opening for business at their current outlet in Commonwealth Food Centre.
Loads of effort goes into preparing each burger, from their house-baked buns to their juicy beef patties. A dose of beef tallow is added to the beautifully seared patties during the cooking process, giving a solid boost of rich beefy flavours.
These are, hands down, the most value-for-money burgers you can find in Singapore, and should be on the hit list for any burger-hunting folk. Expect to spend around $10 a person.

2. Ashes Burnit
The charcoal buns at Ashes Burnit 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 ($7.90 for single, $11.40 for double). Each serving comes with a portion of their fries, which are thick and crispy.

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 for a set meal that includes fries. If you’re not a beef fan, they also have a Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger ($7) starring a pork sausage patty, lemon slaw, streaky bacon, and BBQ sauce.

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 $8.90 for their single patty offerings. However, we highly recommend you get the DCB ($15.90), a hefty double cheeseburger with juicy beef, fresh greens, cheddar cheese, and a house-made burger sauce that’s equal amounts smoky and sweet.
Enjoy your burger with a side of their Kantang of the Day with Truffle Mayo Dip ($7.90), where skin-on french fries are hand-cut, and then deep-fried. Truffle fans will thoroughly enjoy the accompanying dip, flecked with real pieces of mushroom.

5. Burgs
OG burger fans would know of Burgs, which used to be called Burgs by Project Warung back in the day. The famous Muslim-owned chain now has four outlets islandwide, including one at Somerset. They’ve got a new Black Pepper Beef Burger ($6.80 single, $9.80 double), starring their signature beef patty with a savoury black pepper sauce, onion relish, and cheddar, in between toasted buns. Alternatively, get the BLT Beef Burger ($8,80 single, $11.80 double), which comes with crispy bacon and fresh veggies layered on the same beef patty.

6. One Fattened Calf
Family-run burger shop One Fattened Calf took the social media world by storm when they first opened. Their OFC Cheeseburger ($15) 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 ($15), which comes with two thick slabs of cold grass-fed butter for extra creaminess and flavour.

7. Wildfire Burgers
Tucked away in the NAFA Campus 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 ($17++ for three pieces), made with always fresh, and never frozen chicken parts.

8. 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 ($16/$22), 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.

9. 25 Degrees Burgers & Liquor Bar
Putting their own hippy spin on regular burgers, 25 Degrees Burgers & Liquor Bar serves up creative burgers that are made with a variety of special ingredients. This classy burger bar is located right next to the busy Middle Road and Bencoolen Street intersection, letting you watch the world go by as you munch on a juicy burger.
There are four beef burger options available, but those who’re feeling adventurous can also build their burger from $9.50++. Try Number Two ($16++), which combines a hulking USA Angus beef patty with roasted tomatoes, creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto, punchy pesto and a soft potato bun. This burger mashes up a cocktail of fresh and creamy flavours together, proving to be quite an addictive combination.

10. Three Buns
Previously only available at Potato Head, Three Buns has expanded to its first stand-alone store at Robertson Quay. 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.
Address: 60 Robertson Quay, Singapore 238252

11. 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 23-year-old chef who’s cut his teeth at Burnt Ends and Michelin-starred Zen! Their signature Grassfed Flank and Chuck Burger ($15) 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 White Pepper Fried Chicken Burger ($14), featuring a whole deep-fried chicken thigh and house-made chipotle sauce.

Here, you can order their Signature Cheeseburger ($18.80++), made with hand-pressed 100% Angus beef. There’s also a Chicken Burger ($18++) that’s equally popular, which comes with a huge, whole buttermilk-fried chicken leg.

Helmed by young hawkers, Fatty Patty is a cool hawker stall specialising in alcohol-infused burgers and grilled meats.

16. Two Blur Guys
Image credit: @casandrafml
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 ($15.90+). 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.
Address: 387 Jalan Besar, Singapore 209002
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 11:30am to 2:45pm, 5:45pm to 10pm, Fri-Sun 11:30am to 10pm

17. MeatSmith Telok Ayer

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 ($25++) is seared beautifully and packs an incredibly beefy punch, sandwiched between soft buttery toasted potato buns. You’ll also find $10 takeaway burgers, available in limited quantities daily, in flavours such as MS Cheeseburger and Pulled Pork Sandwich.

18. 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.

19. BurgerLabo

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.

20. 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.
