AI image by LocalRankThe best burgers in Singapore run from thin, crisp-edged smash patties to thick gourmet stacks, dry-aged and wagyu blends, plant-based options and halal-certified chains. This guide gathers ten real, currently-operating burger joints, each checked against its own website or well-established presence. Menus, outlets and opening hours change often, so treat it as a shortlist to explore rather than a strict ranking.
1. Three Buns by Potato Head
Three Buns is the ground-floor burger restaurant inside Potato Head, the group's four-storey Art Deco flagship on Keong Saik Road in Chinatown, with a further outlet at Robertson Quay. It centres on chef-driven gourmet burgers and cocktails, running from its signature Baby Huey beef burger to a well-known vegan option, served in a lively sit-down setting rather than at a takeaway window. The group describes the concept as a creative space that redefines the burger joint.

2. Meatsmith Telok Ayer
Meatsmith is an American BBQ smokehouse on Telok Ayer Street, part of the Burnt Ends stable, that describes itself as the full metal smoke house and cooks low and slow over hickory. Its best-known burger, the Meatsmith Wagyu Cheeseburger, stacks double wagyu patties with American cheese, house pickles and burger sauce in a house-made potato bun. It is a sit-down restaurant where the burger shares the menu with smoked brisket and ribs rather than a dedicated burger bar.

3. Smash Street
Smash Street is a compact, counter-and-standing burger bar on Amoy Street from the team behind the pasta spot Scarpetta, built around a short menu of smash burgers. Its patties use a blend of Australian Black Angus cuts pressed thin on a hot griddle for crisp, caramelised edges, layered with cheese and pickles in a toasted potato bun. With very limited seating it leans towards quick dine-in and takeaway rather than a long meal.

4. Honbo
Honbo is a home-grown Hong Kong smash-burger brand whose first overseas outlet sits within the CHIJMES complex off Victoria Street. It describes itself as celebrating the simple things done right, focusing on classic American-style cheeseburgers with beef smashed thin on the griddle and served in a soft potato bun. It is a casual sit-down spot rather than a fast-food counter.

5. BurgerLabo
BurgerLabo is a low-key, burger-focused restaurant tucked inside Henderson Industrial Park that has drawn a devoted following since 2015 for a deliberately short, premium menu. It grinds and shapes its patties in-house and frames its aim as a better burger, never the perfect one, with options that have included a Japanese wagyu burger and a fish burger alongside the classics. It runs limited lunch and dinner services and closes on some days, so it is worth checking hours before going.

6. Fatboy's The Burger Bar
Fatboy's The Burger Bar is a home-grown chain serving classic Western-style burgers since 2009, with a build-your-own format that lets diners choose patties, cheeses and toppings. It leans on made-from-scratch, home-style cooking across a full sit-down menu of burgers, sides and shakes, and invites diners to re-think your burger. It currently lists outlets on Upper Thomson Road and Prinsep Street.
7. 25 Degrees
25 Degrees is a gourmet burger and liquor bar inside Hotel G on Middle Road, a Singapore outpost of the Los Angeles original. It serves a line-up of signature burgers plus a build-your-own option, along with milkshakes and cocktails, in a dim, bar-style room made for sitting down. The name nods to the temperature range the brand associates with cooking a burger from rare to well done.
8. VeganBurg
VeganBurg is a fully plant-based burger joint in Eunos, open since 2010, that calls itself the world's first 100% plant-based burger joint. Its menu swaps beef for plant-protein patties in burgers such as the Creamy Shrooms and Smoky BBQ, finished with dairy-free sauces and served counter-style. It is a casual, everyday spot that has long been a fixture for vegan and veg-curious diners.
9. Wolf Burgers
Wolf Burgers is a home-grown, halal-certified burger chain founded in 2015 around affordable, freshly made burgers. It states that its gourmet patties are made in-house from a blend of Australian beef, with custom-made buns, and it runs several outlets in malls and neighbourhoods islandwide. As a halal-certified chain it is an easy sit-down option for Muslim diners and mixed groups, though current certification is always worth confirming.
10. The Bargers
The Bargers is a small, chef-run smash-burger operation on Joo Chiat Road, set inside the craft beer and cider spot The Cider Pit in the Peranakan quarter. It presses thin, crisp-edged patties for classic double smash cheeseburgers and is known for offering a lamb burger alongside the beef, with ciders and beers to match. It is a casual neighbourhood hang-out rather than a polished restaurant.

How to choose
- Decide on the style first. Smash burgers are thin with lacy, crisp-fried edges, while thick, dry-aged or wagyu patties are juicier and more steak-like, so pick the format you actually crave before choosing a spot.
- If you need halal, confirm certification directly with the restaurant before you go, as only some burger spots here are halal-certified and status can change.
- Check the format and seating. Some places are standing-only or takeaway-led counters with a handful of stools, while others are full sit-down restaurants or bars, which matters for groups and longer meals.
- Look past the hype to the ingredients. Details like in-house-ground patties, the beef blend, house-made buns and whether the signature is beef, lamb or plant-based tell you more than how busy a place looks.
- Confirm the current outlet and hours on the venue's own website or Instagram. Burger spots here move, add or close outlets and often run limited lunch and dinner windows, so an old listing can be out of date.
