KL's Best Burger Spots

Come by this eatery in Seapark for burgers with fun toppings like crispy hash browns, pineapple rings and even peanut butter and jelly. The Beautiful Mess 5.0 (RM21) is a crowd-pleaser, with cheddar beef patty topped with honey mustard, a sunny side up and three perfectly fried portobello mushroom fingers. These burger geeks also grill up delicious chicken, fish and veggie burgers. Try the Captain Hook (RM22) which features a fried tilapia patty with spicy bell pepper relish and Kelantanese budu (anchovy) sauce. They even have a Build-Your-Own Burger option (from RM15) – get creative, kids.

Find porky burgers and craft beers at this cosy spot nestled on the first floor in buzzy SS15. They’re open from dinner till late, so pen this place down for an after-work treat with the colleagues. Must-tries are the Bacon Madness (RM22) chock-full of candied bacon and bacon strips as well as the Burgertory Classic (RM15). The latter comes loaded with crispy onions that add a nice crunch to the sweet and juicy pork patty. Make it a full meal for an additional RM28 that’ll get you an order of fries and a bottle of craft beer. Alternatively, opt for the simpler sets from RM7.50 which gets you fries, cheesy mashed potatoes or truffle flat chips with a drink.

It's been a long day at the office, and all you want is a burger, some fries and a milkshake. Look to this casual joint for the perfect fix. The signature KGB Spiked (RM17.50) comes with sharp cheddar, crispy beef bacon and a slightly spicy KGB special sauce. The patty has a nice crust thanks to a good sear, adding a crispy bite around the edges. Pair it with their yummy Sweet Potato Fries (RM8.90), or go big like Burppler Farah Aziz, and get the Kimchi Fries Fully Loaded (RM16.90) with beef bulgogi. Wash all that down with a Salted Caramel Pralines milkshake (RM13).

Put this American-themed restaurant in quiet Mutiara Damansara on your list for trustworthy beef burgers. The messy MM Burger (RM18.90) featuring a 125g housemade beef patty, buttery brioche buns and a gorgeous sunny side up is an absolute must-have. Let the yolk ooze out and use your burger to soak it all up – so good! The burger begs for a deep-fried companion so get the Spiced Fries (RM4.90) or the breaded Jalapeno Poppers (RM14.90). Finish off the savoury meal with something sweet like the chunky Peanut Butter Milkshake (RM12) that's to die for.

Penang’s famed pork burger spot has made waves among the Burpple community for their grub that's yummy and easy on the wallet. Dive straight for The Dark Knight (RM14.90) for an awesome combo of fried cheddar crisp, caramelised bacon bits and the signature punchy sweet chilli sauce. Another big hit with the community is the mushroom-heavy Orgashroom (RM13.50) with a juicy pork patty and housemade cheese sauce. Love bacon? Add more crunchy Fried Bacon Strips (RM6.50) to your burger for extra decadence – no regrets!

When hunting for late-night burgers after 8pm, look no further than this burger stall in TTDI, located across the BHP station along Persiaran Zaaba. At just RM10, the juicy Cheeseburger made with 100 percent rib eye beef is worth every penny. Other rave-worthy burgers include the chicken Hail Caesar (RM10) with creamy caesar sauce and chilli flakes, or the Hannibal (RM16) that features a perfectly grilled masala-spiked lamb patty finished with grilled aubergine and mango chutney mayo. For the extra hungry, they also make double patty versions of all these burgers.

Opened by the same team behind Define:Food, this trendy burger shop in Bukit Jalil is home to tasty gourmet beef and chicken burgers. You can’t go wrong with the D.B Signature (from RM17.90), an excellent beef burger with classic toppings of cheese, tomato and signature sauce. Burppler Jamri Aizat is a big fan of the chicken burgers which come with crispy buns like in the Big Kahuna (RM16.90) served with grilled pineapple and spicy cocktail sauce. For an additional RM11.90, get your burgers in a set that comes with a drink and a side. We suggest getting the loaded tater tots!

For no-frill burgers that hit the spot, look to this homey joint in Aman Suria for a food-venture with your best buds. Burgers with beef, chicken and falafel patties, there's something for all!
We recommend the beef for the Cheeseburger (RM19), the juicy chicken patty for the Mac n' Cheese (RM26), and the crispy falafel patty that pairs excellently well with the blue cheese in the Blue (RM27).

At this food truck parked in Damansara Uptown, you’ll find some of the messiest and tastiest ramly burgers in the city – come prepared to get your hands dirty! Burgers start rolling out from 10pm, and there’s usually already a queue, so best to swing by early or later to get your hands on one. Get the Double Special Cheese (RM8.50) for two beef patties wrapped in an egg, drenched in their special sauce. There are also lamb (from RM7) and fish and prawn (from RM8) options available.
