Reviews of 1939 Singapore (formerly Potato Head)

J. P.

Dated review. Lovely rooftop dining area, especially with weather on our side. Service staff was attentive and food was promptly served. Extensive menu. Sides were tasty and flavourful. The burgers - which form the signature line - deliver both in taste and in presentation. Road-side parking available just by the side of the restaurant.

M.

Helpful staff, good vegan burger and craft beer. Was a bit expensive for me, but it is in a more expensive area.

K. R.

For the price, I expected a lot more (quality and quantity). I had a serving of house fries (quite good) the Guac norris (vegetarian option made with fake chicken Tindle) which would have been great if the amount of sauce and salad wasn't so little. Patty could have a bit more flavour too. Order a can of coke (320mL) too and the total was almost 40 dollars!

My days this is one of the best if not THE BEST burger place in Singapore, I come here at least once every two weeks with my friends just for their burgers and fries. 10/10 recommend

J. J. V.

Came here for drinks in the rooftop, great bar with a nice ambiance! Very artsy. Interested in trying their food next time.

r. v.

came here with my friends and atmosphere and service were perfect as well as the food… best beef burger i’ve ever had and the drinks were really yumz too. wil definitely come here again with them for both the pictures and food&drinks.

Potato Head’s new bar menu has some interesting cocktails with fresh flavors, though nothing stands out as exceptional. The atmosphere is stylish, but the disco ball feels oddly placed. Prices are on the higher side, which may not justify the experience for everyone. An average spot for a drink.

J.

Amazing food and ambience, good service, and most importantly LOVE zombie #36!! One of the best cocktails ever. The burger was also delicious. Nacho was well flvored and not salty. We were lucky enough to move to the rooftop and caught and beautiful sunrise! Will definitely revisit thought slightly pricey

J. T.

Love the interior and vibe in the restaurant each floor has its character. The burgers, mocktails are strongly recommended!! I hope the fries sauce came on the side, but overall the dining experience was great.

A. S.

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.

l. l.

Given the price/standard/size of burgers, they are definitely overpriced. Overall food was average. However the cocktails are good but limited choice. Friendly staff and nice environment.

A. T.

A very cool place to hang out with friends or to have a date (but it is a little noisy). Love the interior designs, very unique and nice. The fooooooood~ love the burgers. I and my date had a lamb burger and a beef burger with watermelon (can’t remember their name), both were delicious. And the chocolate milkshake, nice ~ but might be alittle too sweet for some. We spend a total of about $70 plus.

O.

The building consists of several levels, each offering it's own unique decor and ambience to cater to different vibes and the time of the day. The food here is good and flavourful and of particular note are their burgers. They have consistently nailed the doneness of the patties with each visit. Love the ability to customise the burgers with optional add-ons, to match your individual preferences. The coffee here is great too.

S. H.

Really good burgers and sliders. The cocktails are great too. All in a very eclectic and fun dining area.

K. W.

If you eaten SS before! Then you should come try their burger. On a personal note, their burger can be on par with SS. I love their pork skewers. The pork is fatty, meaty and melts in your mouth. Sedap! Burger, no comments. The entire night I only gave... Mmmm... While chewing my burger. Mmmm... Sad thing, NO fries to pair with. But overall food experience was nice! Highly recommended!

S.

A random visit on Monday night and vibes was absolutely chilling. Food & beverages at normal standard with no wow factors

J.

Nice ambience and staff are friendly. I would recommend sitting indoors if you do not wish to dine with loud music in the background. We ordered the Fun Boy Three burger, naughty fries and miso dirty fries. The fun boy three was amazing and the patty was cooked to perfection. The miso dirty fries was well seasoned and really whet my appetite. The naughty fries were a bit overpowering as we ordered towards the end of our meal to give it a shot. Would recommend to have it at the beginning of the meal. We also ordered some special promotion which had a chicken patty burger but I wouldn't recommend it as it's pretty dry. Overall, great experience and will come back again!

I had a lovely date night all thanks to Nivad. Appreciate the help on logistics and of course the hospitality while we were there. Thank you! Food wise, got the portobello beef burger. Sauce was right, patty was juicy and crisp on the bun will make snoop dogg proud. Happy hour sangria hit the spot too. All in all, one great evening. Again, thank you Nivad and team!

Z. M. C.

Really good fries and amazing decor. The pork belly bowl is decent but you can find better bowls elsewhere. My husband got the mushroom burger - that was fantastic. Price is a bit steep for brunch but it’s a good place to mingle with friends.

W. T.

3rd visit jan 22, Sangria from $18 became $25.. not ordering it. Went to the roof top. Nice atmosphere. Not in sg feels. ———————- Went there for a sangria. Interesting cinnamon taste! ——————— 2nd visit on 27/12/20 Had a burger, foie gras wasn’t the best .. a bit too strong smell and a rather small piece. Don’t think it’s worth the price Sticky date pudding was way too sweet (too much sauce) but the ice cream was interesting. And took a really long time to arrive at the table after ordering.

S. B.

every appetiser was really yummy!! really big portions so perfect for a big group.. unique selection of burgers .. the chili chicken appetiser was the best for me

E.

The burgers and fries were very oily and heavy tasting.. we had too much leftovers.. 😅😅 Wasn’t to our liking to be honest. But thumbs up for the ambience and service!

K.

Vibe and ambience of this place is perfect for a night meet up! Drinks and food were good too, tried the Impossible burger which was mindblowing, but to be honest the real beef patty in their other burgers were the bomb. Prices in the mid ranges with drinks, but definitely worth the visit!

g.

Great place to relax and chill with good food (omg their burgers are amazing) and cocktails. Its just a short stroll ftom my hotel and i googled for surrounding watering holes abd found this place. They have a rooftop bar (from evening onwards) and another cocktail bar on the 2nd floor. I love the winding stairs and the eclectic knick knacks used as decorative pieces.

T. M. P. T.

Nice place and unique decorations inside. Drinks are fine, quite expensive. Staff attitude is bad :( They treat the tourists very different from the local people. We came first and asked about one of the spot but they denied. Then the other couple came later without reservation asked to sit that spot, the staff said ok.

C. Q.

It's a beautiful place to chill!! Beautiful decorations, great food, nice wine n wonderful servers!!! ❤👍👍👍 Me n my cousins enjoyed it n thank you for the complimentary 🎂. 😍

J. L.

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.

m.

Beautiful place to eat dinner!The Service is very friendly and cool.The Rooftop is breezy,but the music could be a bit less loud.Must try:the top 3 signature burgers.For dessert the mango posset (cream)with calamansi and coconut.

C. Z. H.

The burgers were delectable and lightly fragranced. The coleslaw was nice and tangy as they used a yoghurt base instead of mayonnaise.

c. d.

Got a booking on level 2 on a thursday 5pm. Not crowded. Great food, but beyond that, the service was friendly, attentive, professional. Kudos to the crew manager!

F.

A great place for sharing platters and drinks. The place is well decorated with a relaxing vibe. They have a rooftop bar with great views as well. The food tastes pretty good and the service is quick.

L. P.

Food was nice, staff was moderately friendly, inflexible in providing fries toppings separately by the side to cater to my vegetarian friend citing "presentation". Overall recommended.

C. P.

Good burgers but menu does not change

A. T. X. R.

Nice burger & salad . Tried the burning man & their secret garden salad. The salad taste really nice & burger not bad as well. Will b back for other burgers. Nice atmosphere , just a little noisy .

R. K. (.

Amazing burger, but overprice? 20-25$ each. I love the first floor. Not so crowded, u can still chit chat. Im not the roof-top person.

H. A. M.

I came here mainly for the burger which I found to be below average and is overrated. Very basic decor. I believe people come here for the cocktails and rooftop bar. Service was excellent.

C.

Great burgers! The one with portobello mushroom was really good. The cocktails however were pretty average. The cocktail Zombie was really sweet and too smoky for my liking..

S. p. G.

The uglier the burger, the tastier it is. And no doubt Potato head is worth it's 5 star reviews. I can't remember the menu as always, but please order the one with the bacon and Portobello mushroom. I still dream of it every now and then.

N. N.

Foods and drinks are just ok to me but the ambient and staffs made this place enjoyable. The rooftop bar can be very hot and smelly from cigarette.

W. H.

Dropped in before 6pm on a Thursday night with no reservation. The receptionist said we got to give up the table in 2 hours 😒 When we walked in the place was like super ghost town. We ended up walking up 2-story to Studio 1939. We wanted a low table but they said it’s reserved, so we ended sitting on a small high table for 4 pax for dinner 😑 We ordered a Baby Huey, Chewbakkwa, truffle fries, cheesy fries, etc but those mentioned were superb 👍🏻 The yuzu ice tea was also 💪🏻 Anyways, we finished our dinner and all the low tables were still empty 🤔

A. G.

Tried the impossible food burger was simply amazing!! I have never tried a mock meat where the texture and flavours of it really tasted like actual beef. Would definitely come back to try the other burgers! What we ordered: Impossible Dream - 8/10 Fun Boys Three - 9/10 Smokin B-boy - 7/10 Naughty fries - 6/10 Burgers were the highlight of the meal. Reservations are highly recommended. I called for a reservation but they were fully booked out.

M. N.

Nice experience at the dining hall. The burger tastes okay, not the best with that price. Paying for the vibes here.

A. C.

Potato Head is a bar or cafe I think. I didn't went inside, but just took a photos in front of this building. The building was great, had a cool triangle shape in the hooks of the street.

Y.

Cool venue but pretty average service.

L. L.

Love the burgers! Atmosphere is great. Music isn't that loud as suggested by others in the reviews. Rooftop bar is nice. Great to see this part of Singapore from a different perspective. Also great service from the staff! Will be back!

K. O.

Interesting place to chill out & their deco quite cool too. Luv their drinks especially with a group of friends.

S. B.

Great views of the city but expensive for what it is. Worth a visit for a cocktail on the roof.

A. C.

Portion is quite big. And the place is nice. Very suitable for the Friday night or weekend gathering.

D. M.

Excellent option whilst in Singapore, DJ playing some excellent tunes, exceptional cocktails. No view, but amazing artwork throughout if you're a Bromley fan!

D. C.

Atmosphere is great and staff also very nice and friendly. But the most disappointing part was the overpriced food… $25 for an average burger and it doesn’t even come with fries? Burger served to you wrapped in paper, similar to fast food places. We then ordered house fries to share, but portion size was very small. Cocktails were good but again, very expensive. Hopefully the team could reconsider food plating, portion size and food pricing. Total spent more than $100/person but didn’t seem like it was worth it.

C. R.

Best burgers 🍔 and milkshakes in Singapore. Plus awesome place for having drinks with friends. Book in advance !!

Y. H.

the food was tasty but the impossible burger was a little pricey in my opinion...

ほ.

The second floor was empty for one person for lunch on the weekend. The atmosphere is nice, and the food is high in fat and salt. I enjoyed a light lunch, wine, and leisurely reading by myself. The art on the wall is cute. Rooftop is available for 2 people without reservation on weekends after 6:00pm. It's a low-rise Rooftop, so it's not a spectacular view, but I did enjoy the sunset sky. Most of the original cocktails are sweet. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and fun. There is nothing like Potato Head in Bali, which has a stylish and high-quality space, nice uniforms, friendly and attentive service, and beautiful scenery. Compared to Bali, it's 4 stars, but based on Singapore standards, it's probably 5 stars.

V. P.

Excellent lunch in the dining room, we really loved the sandwiches as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant, huge choice with a very large plant based selection which I really appreciated, super recommended!

J. A. G. O.

The burger was good as was the salad, the place is very nice, the service was friendly. The portions are small. My only recommendation would be, being a meeting place and bar, having non-alcoholic beers would have made a better experience for me who does not consume alcohol.

C. S.

I would like to say that it is a fun place to visit. The surrounding buildings were so cute and pretty that I visited this place and looked at the surrounding buildings. I would like to recommend you to try this restaurant's hamburger if you visit Singapore. It's light yet juicy in the patty. The combination of handmade hamburger with the right amount of vegetables makes it a hamburger with a rich taste that feels simple yet flavorful. Thank you for the famous side menu, wedges, not hamburgers. There is a menu that comes with a sauce made from beef... (I think the name of the menu is spicy~^^;;;) The staff says it's spicy, but to our Korean tastes... I wonder if it can be called spicy... Anyway, it's a wedge. I would like to say that the combination of potatoes and sauce was just right, neither too much nor too little. The interior was very pretty, cute, unique, and had a unique atmosphere. This place is divided into two places: one where you can order outside and eat outside, and the second floor where you can order and eat inside. The difference between the two places is whether or not a surcharge is charged at checkout. You can order and eat inside on the second floor. If this happens, you can see that an additional fee of about 20% of the calculated amount is added.

The seats upstairs are very comfortable and I like the environment here. Ordered beef and chicken burgers. Prefer beef to chicken. The truffle fries were rich in flavor.

We just stood and took photos. The angle was beautiful.
