Burgers are one of the best comfort foods around. They are fitting for any occasion and a bite into a juicy patty smothered with sauce, coupled with fresh vegetables and fluffy buns can do wonders for the tastebuds.
While the average Singaporean burger-lover might be gunning for a taste of the burgers at the recently-opened Shake Shack at Jewel, here’s a question to ask oneself - “Do I really want to spend two hours queueing for a burger?” If the answer is a resounding “No”, feel free to check out our list of 9 Burger Spots in Singapore that serve up good ol’ burgers to die for.
1. Two Blur Guys

Definitely keep an eye out for the Two Blur Guys - it’s a hole-in-the-wall you would not want to miss. Nestled discreetly between Japanese restaurants, the humble joint sits at Orchid Hotel In Tanjong Pagar. With a seemingly clumsy backstory of two blur guys with a shared passion for burgers, this New York-inspired little cafe hides big flavours that have given other burger joints a run for their money.
The menu is simple, so definitely do not hesitate to give their Pulled Pork Burger and Prime Beef with Portobello Burger a go - beauties with a hint of mess. Turns out, the guys are not so blur after all (at least about burgers)!
