Thick juicy burgers, very satisfying. Lime slush was sour and helps cut through the richness of the burgers. We preferred the cheeseburger over the butter burger. Butter burger includes 2 slabs of cold butter, which is hard to finish for one person.
Mimo Eats
One of the best burgers in town! The bun is incredibly soft and fresh, the beef is juicy and flavorful, and the contrast between the pungent raw onions and the sweet cooked ones is perfect. However, we were a bit disappointed with the cheese on the cheeseburger, as it was a sauce rather than a proper slice. Because of this, we gave 4 stars instead of 5. The fries were decent but not outstanding. The packaging and branding are impressive and original, especially the burger wrap. We also appreciated the limited burger menu, which allows for a focus on quality and fast service. Even every portion of fries is weighted!

I got the cheeseburger set for $22. It’s pretty good. Burger has a good integrity to it. The ingredients are really soft and all meld together. The beef patty is really soft and surprisingly holds well together given how soft it is. The beef is pretty good, but not the best i’ve had. The buns are really tasty, slightly sweet and very soft. The fries are alright, pretty normal. The like slushy is pretty good too. Overall the burger here is good, the staff is nice, good portions, quite worth the price.

2. Shake Shack
Shake Shack is a popular destination for casual diners and burger aficionados alike craving for the best burger in Singapore, the classic ShackBurger. For those who have yet to hear about this famous burger, its renown stems from its ‘smashed’ 100% Angus beef patty that boasts a full-bodied flavour and savoury goodness you can only get from hormone-free and healthy cattle. Of course, the patty isn’t the only thing that the ShackBurger has going for it as it’s perfectly melted cheddar, unrivalled potato flour buns, and legendary ‘Shack Sauce’ with its signature umami taste all come together to complete the package. That said, if you’re looking to explore newer flavours, ShakeShack has plenty of other options to choose from. For starters, there’s the SmokeShack cheeseburger with applewood-smoked bacon and the Shroom Burger, wherein a crisp-fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheeses replaces the usual beef patty. Adventurous diners can also go for a simple hamburger that serves as the perfect base and canvas to create their very own work of art.

Nicholas Chee
I love shake shack. I had double shake burger today but I also love the shake stack with the mushroom patty 😋. Milkshakes are great too. I like the black and white. It is to die for!
Chong KV
We had beef and vegetarian burgers, both were delicious and fresh. I love how they properly layout the serving nicely and neat, the milkshake was really good but might be a little too sweet for someone who doesn’t really like sweets. I like the atmosphere if I will compare it with other fast food restaurants but of course the price is also much higher than those fast food restaurants. After all, is a nice place to dine in.
Lidya R
I loveee the ambience of this place. No queueing at all. A lil bit pricey but worth for the taste. The only burger that I can order is just the vegetarian one but they nailed it! I would go for the strawberry milk over and over again.

Haven’t been to Fatboy’s for awhile, and glad that the quality of food has gotten better since the last time. Burgers are great with large portions, and fried chicken that we ordered was crispy yet tender. Drinks are also affordable, so great place for hangout with friends.
Evelyn Cx
Patty is delicious packed with flavor and all that jazz. Tucked right by the side of the shophouses, you get that cool vibe while you’re chowing down on some awesome grub. Service is fast too.

Pauline Yoong
Everything is great here. They have more seats on the second floor. The signature crispy pig ear was really good! I had the bleu burger which has bacon, beef patty and gongozola cheese in it. It comes with capers potatoes which was delicious. Only thing is my table us diagonal to the toilet and the sight of the toilet when eaten is quite a turnoff.
LH
One of my favourite dining place. A small restaurant in a shop house setting with great service. I’m a small eater but when I’m here, I can finish the whole Codfish Burger on my own. That’s how good it is. The Onion Matchsticks and the Truffled Mac and Cheese are so good too. My friends love the Crispy Pig Ears. The meal is not complete unless I end it with a dessert. Sweet ending.
Gabe
Beef burger patty was perfectly cooked..seared on the outside & soft on the inside to the last bite. The seafood/mussels claypot noodles is very popular, smelled so good (cooked with lobster shell stock) but i didn’t get to order as it ran out for the day when i am there. Will return to try more food items.

Phar Burger offers juicy burgers, albeit on the smaller side for the price. The nachos are a highlight, with a unique twist that sets them apart. While delicious, the cost might deter frequent visits. Worth a try if you’re feeling indulgent, but be prepared to spend a little extra. Still a five star worthy.
Bee Lee
Burger was yummy and it was cut for us even without us asking for us to share. I also like how they allow us to order 1/2, 1/2 of onion rings and sweet potato at 1 price. Very friendly staffs.
Melanie Mitchell
Fantastic burgers – really fresh and perfectly cooked! Sides are also excellent and the service was great. Finally, they have a great selection of wine, beer and cider. We will definitely come back.

Customer Reviews:
Ashok Sankaran
Glad to have found this hidden place for a good old school burger fix. Their patties are juicy and we liked the option of adding a brioche bun. The pickled onions were a surprise, and we were glad that the sauce did not overpower the meat flavours. Menu options are basic, but they deliver on flavour. The only issue we had was with the super tiny tiramisu serving priced at approx 8$, avoid that and you will have a great value for money meal ! The service was fast and efficient. Special call out to the decor and the vibe, it fit perfectly with the location of the joint. Highly recommend for a flavourful and fuss free burger and fries meal.
Jeanette Ting
Glad we found this burger joint. First time trying. Had the basic double patty burger, 2280 single and a fish burger. Fish burger had a very nice home made sauce. Buns were nice and moist. Shoe string fries was excellent too! Definitely highly recommended and will return.
Sandra Chua
The basic burger and the blue cod burger are yummy! Their truffle fries is simple. I like their lychee tea, not too sweet for me. Easy to find a table/seat.

The vegan burgers here are amazing. The chicken actually tastes very good and is not soggy. They have a great variety of options and they are all very filling, would highly recommend checking it out.
H Lin
Good place for meat free burgers, more options than most of the competitors. Sides are simple but ok.
Bryan Ho
Decided to go for something healthier but yet not compromise on the taste. First time trying the Shrooms Burg with a set meal – option of fries or broccoli plus a drink. The burger mushroom patty was juicy and tasty, broccoli had a bit or chargrilled flavour but yet still juicy. Will be back to try other burgers on the menu. Guiltless indulgence.

Customer Reviews:
Stephen Chan
Burger and western food joint in a food centre at the heartlands of Singapore. I tried their Skirt Cheese burger, one of their signatures. It has a cheese skirt as one of the layers, hence the name. Patty is nice and succulent. While a price tag of $8 may seem high for a heartland stall, the quality justifies it.
Donny Koh
Well made patty with deep fried cheese burger which is their signature along with crispy chicken burger. A gem in Tiong Bahru market.
Tricia Y
I got a cheese skirt burger ($8) with an add on of a beef patty ($4). It is my first time trying a cheese skirt burger and i do enjoy the saltiness of the cheese skirt! The patties aren’t thin and they are quite juicy as well. I would buy this again if i ever need a burger fix!
