Had a wonderful dining experience at Burnt Ends. The food was absolutely excellent — beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and with that distinctive smoky, charred character that makes their open-fire cooking so special. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear that a lot of attention goes into the ingredients and cooking. The service was also excellent — attentive and warm without being intrusive. I particularly loved the atmosphere. The open kitchen and huge wood-fired oven are really the centrepiece of the restaurant, giving the space a sense of energy and theatre. The warm wood, industrial touches, soft lighting and contemporary décor create a setting that feels both stylish and relaxed. It’s lively and vibrant without feeling overly formal, which suits the food perfectly. Overall, Burnt Ends is much more than just a great barbecue restaurant — it’s a complete dining experience, from the food and open-fire cooking to the service and atmosphere. Definitely one of those places that is worth experiencing in Singapore.

At last I got a booking at this place for my birthday dinner. Was it worth the wait? Of course! Sublime service as soon as you arrive and great attention to detail from the staff. We had the Chefs table so right next to the prep area. we had a range of different starters, followed by the scallops then the Blackmores cube roll. 450g was enough for 3 of us. Best steak I have had for ages! All the food was above par and cooked to perfection. We even got a free set of peri peri ducks hearts. I even ate that :) We had all 3 desserts to mix and match too. Expensive but worth it

Service is exceptional and the space is beautiful, elegant yet comfortable. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations and we were underwhelmed throughout the course. We got the Bar Classics for 2pax with an additional tenderloin. The best thing that night was the grissini and tenderloin. Dont get me wrong. I think the food were delicious. But they are not as good or as unique as we thought it would be.

Burnt Ends is definitely one of the most talked-about and hardest-to-book restaurants in Singapore, so naturally expectations were extremely high. After finally trying it, I can honestly say the experience felt rather ordinary compared to the hype surrounding it. The quality of the ingredients was undeniably good, and the team clearly knows how to handle wood-fire cooking exceptionally well. Service was attentive, professional, and well-staffed throughout the meal. That said, for the level of pricing and reputation Burnt Ends carries, I expected a much more memorable and differentiated dining experience. What surprised me most was the lack of creativity and innovation in the dishes. Compared to many other Michelin-starred restaurants in Singapore that push boundaries and create unique dining experiences, Burnt Ends felt more like very well-executed premium BBQ rather than something truly exceptional or groundbreaking. The pricing was also difficult to justify. At around S$200 per person, the portions felt quite small, and we honestly left still feeling hungry. For this price point, there are many other restaurants in Singapore offering a more complete and satisfying experience with stronger value for money. Overall, I can understand why some diners enjoy it, especially if they appreciate ingredient-focused wood-fire cooking. But personally, I found it significantly over-hyped relative to the expectations created around it. Glad to have tried it once, though it’s probably not somewhere I would return to or actively recommend given the many other excellent dining options available in Singapore.

Everything here was good. I especially love the small plates, we tried a lot and all of them were great. The space is also well designed and super impressive. Staff were all incredibly great. Super super enjoyed my experience here. Will definitely be coming back. I suggest getting seats at the bar. That way you can talk to the Chefs. Chef Dave was especially gracious!
