Meat and burger connoisseurs in Singapore are literally spoilt for choice because outstanding options are aplenty if you know just where to look. Whether it is beef, pulled pork, fried chicken or even portobello mushrooms you fancy, there is surely something to tickle your taste buds.
Here is our guide to the best burger joints in Singapore that all passionate meat lovers will appreciate. Think massive stacked burgers overflowing with meaty juices and oozing with melted cheese. Ignore the given utensils and get right in there with your bare hands—this is real-deal rustic dining at its best.
If you are not salivating right now, then you must be vegetarian.
In a back alley off Gemmill Lane near Club Street, lies the entrance to Burger Joint—a rustic dive bar that serves up insanely good burgers and a wide selection of craft beers on tap.
The burger menu is pretty straightforward, with just choices of hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger or bacon cheeseburger—and with an option to double up the patties. You can choose how well-cooked you want your patty to be—from rare to well-done. We suggest opting for medium-rare to get the juiciest (and tastiest) results.

#11 BurgerLabo
The folks behind The Naked Finn have introduced BurgerLabo which takes over the space of the now-defunt Nekkid, rebranding the small bar-and-bites eatery into a spot for gourmet burgers in Gillman Barracks.
Dinner began with their Basic Burger (S$23++ for single patty/S$36++ for double patty) and its optional add-on of Truffle fries (S$3++).
A thick 170g patty was slipped between two toasted buns that were slathered with house-made bone marrow “butter” and sauce. It was topped with grilled organic tomato, green ice lettuce, and two slices of American cheese.
The beef was made of an elaborate blend of grass-fed Black Angus beef neck, Aomori Gyu ribeye, Toriyama Umami Wagyu A4 tenderloin, and Sendai Wagyu A5 brisket.
We had our burger halved and biting into its center gave way to an explosion of flavourful juiciness as we chewed into its very tender texture.

These are not legit! Far from it lol have you actually had a good burger in your life? These are amongst the worst burger places in the world and I’ve been to 7 of the 11 here. The other 4 I wouldn’t even bother.
Please go back to the drawing board and try again
Looks like someone’s burger store didn’t make the list!
Burger Joint is pretty good. When someone else is paying I don’t mind a DB Burger too.
@Not Like Andrew: Hahaha I love your comment for DB burger!
I agree with Andrew. Just had fatboys “recommended” and it was so disappointing. Veggie burger was a raw mushroom and the fries were frozen soggness- Fatboys should not be on this list. They must be fat from eating all the returns of their average food. I can go on but won’t because it’s just so poor! Too bad fat boys. Hope you can pick up your quality and turn it around but I won’t ever order from you again.
And I now do not trust this site.
