Ever since Shake Shack set food on Singapore’s shores at Jewel Changi Airport, their queues have been endless for months on end. This only shows just how many burger lovers there are out there.

With the local burger scene being shaken up – you may want to keep a lookout for alternative eateries to sort your cravings. If you’re one of those people who gets hangry if you have to wait too long for food, here are 5 solid burger joints to head for to satisfy your meaty cravings:

1. Hans Im Gluck – German-style burgers paired with whimsical forest vibes

It’s no secret that German food is easy bait for meat lovers – after all, it largely comprises sausages, schnitzels and huge chunks of meat. And the juicy, cheese-oozing German hamburgers burgers at Hans Im Gluck are just as promising.

They’ve even got a speciality dish that’s named after the restaurant: The Hans Im Gluck beef burger ($17), which features a chunky grass-fed beef patty with shavings of Parmesan cheese and Parma ham that’s piled between two multigrain buns.

Lettuce, rocket leaves, and juicy sun-ripened tomatoes are also thrown in to give your burger that extra ooze of sweetness and crunch with every bite.

To cater to individuals with dietary restrictions, the restaurant even has vegan and vegetarian burgers for the non-meat eaters amongst us! Try their spicy Wolpertinger ($16) vegetarian burger, which showcases a spicy mock meat patty and thick slices of aged cheddar slathered with avocado cream.

The bar has both alfresco and indoor seating areas, which features floor-to-ceiling birch tree trunks, imported all the way from Germany.

2. Burger Joint – double cheeseburgers for cheese lovers

Here’s another burger joint for those of you who are experiencing major #FOMO from not being able to try Shake Shack’s burgers just yet. Hailing from New York City as well, Burger Joint is like an underdog to the popular burger chain, except that it doesn’t have fast food vibes.

Tucked away in a lane off Amoy Street and identifiable only by a neon burger out front, Burger Joint specialises in creating cheeseburgers that are coated with generous amounts of melted cheese.
