Why You Should Visit Burger on 16
Kuala Lumpur is filled with burger joints, but Burger on 16 has carved out its own loyal following — and for good reason.
First off, the burgers are crafted with care. The beef patties are made from premium Australian beef, prepared fresh, and never frozen. Everything — from the sauces to the toppings — is put together in-house. You taste the difference immediately. This isn’t your average burger; it’s the kind you plan your cheat day around.
Then there’s the variety. Yes, beef reigns supreme, but Burger on 16 doesn’t leave anyone behind. Whether you’re into chicken with a spicy twist, a fully loaded vegetarian burger with pesto and spinach, or even creative cheese-laden options like the “California Cheese Skirt,” there’s something for every craving. It’s the type of menu that makes you want to come back just to try something new each time.
The ambience is another reason to stop by. Just a short walk from Berjaya Times Square, Burger on 16 feels like a cool hideaway in the middle of KL’s buzz. The walls are painted with colorful murals featuring icons like Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali — it’s casual, artsy, and perfect for a chill evening with friends. Whether you prefer open-air vibes or the cool indoors, you’ll find a spot that suits your mood.
And let’s not forget the service. Reviews consistently mention friendly staff, quick turnaround times, and food that arrives hot and fresh. In a city where dining can sometimes feel rushed or inconsistent, that reliability keeps people coming back.
Put it all together — fresh, juicy burgers, creative choices, a lively setting, and service that feels personal — and you’ve got more than just a meal. Burger on 16 is an experience, and it’s one that deserves a place on your KL food list.
What to Try
Here are some of the crowd favourites and what makes them special:
- Mad Cheese (200g) – a clean, classic beef burger with cheese not just on top, but stuffed inside the patty too. Simple, juicy and satisfying. The Yum List
- California Cheese Skirt – this one plays with texture: crunchy-chewy cheese “skirt” around the burger, jalapeño, caramelised onion, fresh salad bits, and sauce. Very satisfying contrast. The Yum List
- Double Smash Burger – two smashed patties, sharp cheddar, bacon, sauce — a great choice if you want something heftier. The Yum List
- Chicken / Non-Beef Options – for non-beef eaters, there are several chicken burgers. One that pops up often is the “Inferno Chicken,” with a spicy twist. The Yum List
- Vegetarian selection – they have at least three veggie burgers. For example the Spinach Burger with greens, basil pesto, and fresh fixings.
Tips Before You Go
- Go when you’re hungry — the portions are generous.
- Try to visit during non peak hours if you want more relaxed vibes and possibly quicker service.
- If you’re not keen on beef, ask for the chicken or vegetarian options — they do them well.
- Shares sides or fries — because sometimes those cheese skirts & double patties leave little room for much else!
Final Thought
Burger on 16 delivers more than just a burger — it delivers an experience. From the artistry of its burgers (cheese skirts, smashed patties, bold flavours) to the warm, casual ambience, it’s one of those gems in KL that satisfies both your burger hunger and your soul. If you’re in Bukit Bintang and craving something beyond the usual fast food burger, this place is a win.
