Fortunately the weather was good, only open at 5pm. Carpark here is CBD area so is $1.2 per half and hour. After 6pm is back to normal and free from 10pm onwards. Wine selection is ok not many to choose from and quite pricey i would say. Food is mainly burger. Cooling place to chill. Rooftop restaurant is quite small at best 20 tables so around 30-40pax. Alternatively they have a indoor pub at level 3. Building is pre war type so there is no lift. No live band just a dj playing slow music. Food wise i think is acceptable, mostly here for the hype and ambience.

Mainly focusing on burgers, this place has a charming an interesting decor that is not too garish. May be suitable also for casual medium sized gatherings or work parties as well since their long table setups seem to be able to support that well.
The lunch sets have pretty good value and I really enjoyed some loaded potato skin like dish which I cannot remember the name of. However the slaw is a little too tangy for my liking and the same sauce in the honky tonk burger does get a bit overly messy even for a burger. Drinks are also hit and miss, so stay to the safe choices of you are not too adventurous.

Atmosphere is good for group of friends. Lighting is too dark at some corner, where you even need to on your phone's flashlight to be able to read the menu. Friendly staffs. Food is pricey and portion is little.

Didn't even make it into the restaurant. Entrance staff was incredibly rude and condescending. My friend and I put our names down for a table at around 6.30 and was told the wait would be approximately 45 mins. We came back about an hour later just to ask for an update before being snapped back with "if you didn't get a call, then there's no table for you". We asked how long more would the wait be and the staff just rudely replied "well, I told you we have a dining limit of 2 hours". The staff then proceed to make a dramatic gesture of showing us the reservation list of how everyone was coming in at 7 and customers who put their names down before us hasn't even gotten a table yet. Now Potato Head, if you
put yourself on such a pedestal and having walk-ins is way below your management, then don't take walk-ins. FYI, aforementioned entrance staff was also rude and snappy towards other customers so you might wanna reconsider if that's the image you think best suit your business.

Noisy restaurant, dimly lit and covered in ghastly David Bromley paintings. (Bromley is an Aussie commercial artist that flogs off his limitless stock of 'paintings' in shops in Melbourne.
$23 for a burger (no fries included!!).
Average service had to remind waiter to bring drinks.
Couldn't visit roof top bar as there was a "private function".
Just a let down in all departments.
Give it a miss unless your desperate to go to somewhere apparently trendy??

The restaurant delivers great food (mostly burger), good service, and is not so expensive. I have not yet tried the impossible burger but definitely planning to do so.The rooftbar is also very nice. Highly recommended.

One of the Best Burgers in Town

One of the Best Burgers in Town

This multilevel, multiconcept building is a great place to hang out and chill, and serves some of the best burgers in town.

Try :
Truff Ryder [quite expensive but one of the best foie burgers ive had]
Smoking Bboy
Truffle Chips [tasty truffle mayo]

Hippie cafe with a nice ambience but sorry, their burgers were way too dry, tasted disappointing and pricey! Such a disappointment for us. Reviews are over-rated. I also didn't like how dark it was during dinner. This place probably looks better in the day.

Really enjoyed their cocktails and nice rooftop ambience, provided you can get a table. They're usually packed to the brim, like many other Potato Heads around the region. If you're looking for chill vibes, here's the place to come. You'll be able to find your solidarity in the midst of all the mess around Singapore.

A bit pricey but the food is very good. Serving sizes are quite generous. Staff is friendly and offers fast service. Cold water is free which is nice as the drinks are on the more expensive side. Would definitely return as a treat.

Tried for the 1st time. The burgers & fried chicken were good. But the well-done meat in the burgers were too hard & dry. Go for the medium. Interesting deco interior. Service was good, but the food was a little pricey. Was given really nice masks as a token for our spending there.

Chilled out at level 3 bar. Happy hour cocktails 5-8pm going at $14, there are 3 cocktails options. Love the food served here, especially the portobello mushrooms $8 on toast. Also ordered the naughty fries junior $7 which are fries with beef and cheese and the works.

Great place for a burger n chat with friends. Family with children are welcome too and best for afternoon when the place is not too crowded. Reaervation a mist or you end up outdoor level 1 or rooftop. Note that you need to walk up stairs with no lift facilities or stay on level one outdoor where the kitchen is.

Delicious burgers cooked to order, and competent and attentive staff. Personal favourites are the Fun Boy Three and the Burning Man. So juicy! Strangely the broccoli is also really good so recommend that as a side. Great cocktails too. There s a happy hour but the selection isn t amazing.

Did not have a chance to enter the premises, as we failed to make a reservation. Felt one of the service staff tending to the reservations / walk-ins should have been a whole lot friendlier.

It was my first time asking her a question after queuing out for 20 mins, but she presumed my friend (who had arrived way before me) had already asked her the same question. Why??

Had asked for ballpark waiting time, and she was clearly irritated by the question - I guess it s hard for her to advise. Ok, that s fair. Then I proceeded to ask her in which queue sequence we were for the walk-in waiting list. (In my heart: Are we 5th? are we 6th? Or are we the Next? Or it could have been we are the 20th group? *seriously was trying to keep my qns short since she was on such an annoyed mode*)

Either way, judging by their reluctance to respond - it seems there was no way we will gonna get the seats. Maybe the no. is so huge they couldnt advise. Then I had appreciate if they told us the truth. Right? Btw - we walked in at 6.50ish, and i overhead the rude lady mentioned the next available booking is 9.30pm. Well, what are the chances of like x groups of 5 pax cancelling? (Used x since it s unknown) & before 9.30pm?

My other guess why they were reluctant to advise is perhaps because they wanted customers to wait outside in event many of their reservations were cancelled (but how likely man for x groups to cancel to reach us???)

However, in light of covid, it had be better for us as customers to leave the place, and not cause a line of queue / compact crowd to form outside in conflict with social distancing measures. So that s what we did. After queuing for 40 mins.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the other lady for her attempt at explaining, albeit still the reluctance to advise the waiting sequence - hence giving it a 2 stars.

*Solely rating their service.* disliked rating badly, but hahah wouldn t recommend coming to this place via walk-in if you don t wanna encounter the no reservations, don t ask qns mode of that service staff.

The concept of this restaurant / bar is original and essentially based on the decor of the entire building and the way the dishes are served. The burgers are good but served right on the table in the wrapping paper. A little tricky when using a knife! Some time out at the service level.

I like the environment and the food is not bad too.
Order a salad and burger both are nice.
Came here few years ago and suddenly have the thought of coming here again.
Didn't disappoint me after so many years

Will definitely come back again

Absolutely loved Potato Head.

Absolutely loved Potato Head.

The rooftop is a lovely spot with great views as the evening closes in. Happy hour drinks are reasonable, outside this they're a bit more steep, but there is value to be had on the menu! Personally I think it's a bit dark up there to eat once the sun sets, but...

The restaurant downstairs is fantastic. The burgers are expertly crafted. I had a Four Floors and the Mrs had a Truffle Dog. Both were brilliant. $3 extra for a small portion of fries on the side was the perfect amount for me, though you could add a full size portion of you really needed to.

Mango Tango Smoothie and a Chocolate Milkshake were excellent drinks.

Loved it. Was worried we wouldn't find a decent burger when we moved from London to Singapore. This place has proved us well wrong.

Reeeeally good burgers! I had the Impossible "Can you dig it" burger, and it was really good!

Price point wise it's definitely leaning towards the more pricey side, paid about $38 for a burger along with house fries + miso fries that were shared with 2 other friends. Totally worth it if you're feeling burger-boujee that day though haha

Food is good but the drinks just so-so. Milkshake too sweet, my gf and I can t finish it.. Service is okay, but staff not too friendly. 1 of the guys on duty kind of show tantrum to us, my gf came earlier than us and she felt being looked down because we didn t reserve table in advance. Another Chinese looking guy was alright and quite helpful.

I like the place but they are really useless at maximising the space and managing reservations. They will tell you they dont have a table when 10 tables are empty or they will kick you out of the table because there is a reservation but no one has shown up yet and they wont show up for another 40mins. Really badly managed

Nice place apart from the steps up. Very nice food here, looks so good we tucked in without taking photos. The set lunch menu is definitely worth it. The chilli's fries is shiok, packs a punch. The host is very hospitable, even got a couch cushion for my heavily preggy wife.

Went there on Sunday for lunch. It was full on level 2 so was seated outdoor at level 1. Nice on a cloudy day. The burgers and hotdogs were tasty overall. Beef patties were nicely charred with texture, fries were crispy and flavorful. Be ready to pay between $25 to $45 per pax for a meal plus drink.

Always had a good experience here but was recently extremely disappointed.

Never received a callback when it was my turn on the waiting list and receptionist refused to show proof of callback attempt. She insisted it was my fault for missing the call and snarkily refused to let me rejoin the queue.

On our visit to Singapore we decided to visit potato head because my wife had read about it, and it should be the place if you have a craving for a burger. We got a table on first floor and on that time we should have followed our first impression and left the place. The noise level was horrible high and the acoustic in the room was non existing. We ordered two burger, Baby Huey and Burning man with House Fries on the side. The food was quick served but when we saw the "burgers" we could conclude that we only got two "sliders" I normally don't complain about the size of the portion, but in this case the size of the burger compare to price was a totally ripoff. The taste of the food was ok, but the Burning Man was very weak. The fries is the only reason for the two stars.

The food was great as the view, the drink were good and the ambiance ok.
I understand that all that plus, locstion location location, come at a premium, but the bill was a little steep for what I we go.

Still would absolutely recommend.

Great place for great craft burgers - aside of the food (they have Impossible burgers here!), the place itself, a corner shophouse in the vibrant historic Keong Saik road is quite cozy with a warm atmosphere and good service.

Food is authentic.

Just came in for a drink. Rooftop bar opens at 5pm. Ordered the mango and rose tea in a jug. About 6 small glasses in a jug. Its tasty and has more of the mango flavour than rose. Not very sweet, just right!

I had the pleasure of being served by the head bartender, Gavin. His carefully cultivated menu was curated based on popular songs of the Era! They made the evening a pleasant one and their customers service was excellent! Will be back here again soon! Thanks Gavin and team from Potato Head Singapore!
