What to eat at Johor Bahru? That is the question. The city is home to many good local and international foods and one of them has to be burgers. Be it roadside/street or gourmet burgers, you can find plenty of them mushrooming across the city. And now, let’s cut to the chase as we present you 8 Burger Spots to Try in Johor Bahru in alphabetical order.
1) Burger Bandit
Fans of beef burgers might want to check out Burger Bandit, specifically the must-try Ultimate Beef Burger. True to its name, it’s a burger haven of homemade grilled beef patty with smoked beef streaky, sliced cheese and other ingredients sandwiched between the buns. Alternatively, consider getting the Spicy Kahwin Burger, offering the best of both worlds in a bun: grilled beef patty and deep-fried chicken thigh. You can locate Burger Bandit outlets at Eco Botanic and Taman Mutiara Mas.
Address:
(Eco Botanic) 27, Jalan Eko Botani 3/7, Taman Eko Botani, Iskandar Puteri, 79100 Johor.
(Taman Mutiara Mas) 23, Jalan Mutiara 1/11, Mutiara Rini, Skudai, 81300 Johor.
2) Burger Grill Arang JB
The name of this stall says it all: They are famous for their charcoal-grilled burgers. Take their Grilled Beff Burger Mozzarella, for instance: You’ll get warmly toasted buns with juicy and smoky grilled beef patty, oozing mozzarella and all the usual suspects sandwiched together. Let’s not forget about their flavourful secret sauce that elevates the taste of the burger. Other than beef and chicken burgers, they also sell Roti John varieties.
Address: Jalan Lembah 1, Taman Desa Jaya, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor.
3) GTR Burger
GTR Burger has a few stalls nationwide including some of them in Johor. Their Smokey Daging (Beef) burger comes highly recommended but if you are not into beef, they have Smokey Ayam (Chicken) and Smokey Kambing (Lamb) to choose from. For the ultimate indulgence, try one of their Burger Premium varieties, where they use the likes of Australian Wagyu beef and Wagyu A5 as the rich marbling adds a distinct flavour to the beef patty. You can also build your own burger by selecting your preferred protein(s) and other add-ons.

Craving a street burger in the wee hour of the morning? Here’s one for you at Jufiera Burger, which opens from 6 pm to 4 am. It may have been an ordinary-looking burger stall but their menu covers chicken, beef, lamb, fish, benjo (egg banjo) and even deer (venison). You can have single, double or triple patties with or without cheese. Expect a mess of a burger as it should be as you sink your teeth into it, thanks to the generous sauce that goes into the burger.

5) LAZY MONDAY HQ
This burger joint at Jalan Abdul Samad is where you can indulge in a big, fat juicy burger. Don’t bother to count the calories here because Lazy Monday HQ goes all out in their burger menu. Some of the choices include Smoked Brisket, Hot Mexican, Big Cheese and Eggplosion, all of which are sandwiched with double beef patties except for the first one. Their patties are freshly homemade and so are their burger buns. And if beef burgers aren’t your thing, do try their succulent deep-fried chicken burger.

7) The Century Burger
Soft, buttery buns and juicy homemade beef patty. The Century Burger certainly knows a thing or two about making good roadside burgers. Their Century Smash, as you may suggest, is done in a smash burger style with toppings like cheese, caramelised onion and pickled cucumber to balance the savoury taste. Or try one of their Magnificent Century options, namely the premium Australian Wagyu or The A5.
Address: Holiday Villa, 228, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Century Garden, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor.
8) WoodFire
No burger joints in Johor would be complete without mentioning WoodFire.
