Located in the heart of Crescent Street, Burger Bar Crescent offers Gourmet Hamburgers, Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potatoes and many other Burger delights. Our upstairs area offers groups for sports nights or parties of any kind the privacy and atmosphere to relax and have a good time.
Burger Bar Crescent is praised for juicy, well-balanced burgers and a diverse menu that runs from smash burgers to Wagyu and bison options, with standout picks such as the Quebecois, Roadhouse, Supersonic, and Firestorm, along with excellent fries, poutine, and a solid beer and cocktails list. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as cozy, lively, and family friendly, with a convenient terrace and fast, friendly service noted by many, though a few visits mention busier times leading to slower service and occasional mistakes. Food quality gets glowing remarks for freshness and flavor, while some reviewers call out rare misses like veggie burgers that are too sour and salty, dry mac and cheese, or a burnt burger, but these are framed as exceptions rather than the rule. Overall, it comes across as a top Montreal option for burger lovers seeking generous portions, plenty of drink options, and a vibrant, easygoing setting in the heart of the city, with many planning to return on future visits.
Party of 6, everything was great pre game dinner. Half party got food, others waited for a bit. But server made it right. Definitely comeback. Very busy, stuff happens. Highly recommend.
I had consistently good experiences at this restaurant from 2019 to 2024, & it was one of my favorite places, especially because of their vegetarian options. I've always recommended it to friends & family visiting Montreal.
However, during my visit last Friday, the experience was disappointing. The veggie burgers were overly sour & salty, & the mac & cheese was very dry. While I don't mind the pricing, taste & quality are equally important.
This visit was a letdown compared to my past experiences, & it has made me reconsider whether I will return in the future. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously & improves the food quality.

Excellent place to have GOOD burgers. I asked for the doble patty with poutine, instead of French fries aside. Delicious. & a Sangria to drink. Nice place to have lunch or dinner. Excellent service. I recommend it a lot. Not expensive either.
Loved it! It was my first time coming here with the team, & the food honestly surprised me - everything was so delicious. The server was super friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was great. I'll definitely come again & recommend it to my friends?
Amazing burgers & service! 🍔
The staff were super friendly & the food came really fast. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, & came with a choice of salad or fries. We picked the fries & they were perfectly crispy & delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're craving a good burger.
We ordered Royal burger & super cheddar bison & I really liked the tastes of bison meat
Great spot & good to take a family. The food is fantastic & a ton of selection. Really really good burgers. A variety of drinks as well - Labatt 50 on tap. Incredible. Would recommend the Quebecois burger or roadhouse. Both fantastic! This place knows how to make a burger.
Our server was great, but overworked. Would see him & then wouldn't for quite sometime. We sat on the street patio. Our server was serving the street patio, inside & the second story patio as well. That's a lot to cover & unfortunately it took away from the service experience.
French Review:
Super endroit, idéal pour une famille. La nourriture est fantastique & le choix est vaste. Les burgers sont vraiment excellents. Il y a aussi une variété de boissons : du Labatt 50 pression. Incroyable. Je recommande le burger québécois ou le restaurant de rue. Les deux sont excellents ! Cet endroit sait comment préparer un burger.
Notre serveur était super, mais débordé. On le voyait souvent, puis on ne le voyait plus pendant un bon moment. Nous nous sommes installés sur la terrasse. Notre serveur servait aussi bien la terrasse de la rue que celle à l'intérieur & celle du deuxième étage. Ça fait beaucoup à dire & malheureusement, ça a gâché l'expérience du service.

Always my favourite burger place to stop; the bison burgers are to die for! Such a cozy vibe & excellent service. Some nights can get super busy so I recommend calling ahead to ask if there's any tables available.
I just had poutine for the first time at Burger Bar Montreal, & it did not disappoint! The combination of crispy fries, gooey cheese curds, & rich gravy was absolutely delicious. I can see why it's such a popular Canadian dish!
The flavors blended perfectly, & the portion size was generous. If you're new to poutine like I was, I highly recommend trying it here. A must-try experience in Montreal!
I've been to Burger Bar Crescent many times before. Tonight I had the supersonic burger & after finishing it I told my friends it's the best burger I've had in my life! The fries & onions rings were amazing too! The wait staff was friendly, attentive & efficient; not overbearing at all! The wait time wasn't too long either. I would highly recommend!

Well, probably one of the best spicy burgers I have ever eaten. I recommend this place to everybody who likes to eat good! They also have nice selection of local beers.
This place has some of the best burgers in the city. The service can be better. The burgers are all worth the dollars paid. They are delicious & size-appropriate. My personal favorites is the shenanigans burger & five cheese Mac & cheese. The service can improve. Before the pandemic, I would have recommended going to Burger Bar, but since closing a reopening, the service is a hit or miss. I attempted to order out after a hard work day. I was told 10-15 minutes, & I stepped outside to avoid blocking the entrance. I returned to be told the order was never sent to the kitchen. The only way my order would have made it to the kitchen was because the person who took my order never put it into the system. I was extremely upset & did not leave me wanting to return. I did return recently after another day of work & decided to dine at the bar to avoid another hangry situation. The barman was great. He greeted me with a smile & provided excellent service. Luckily, he restored faith in me that the restaurant hasn't gone down the tubes, & I will happily return to increase my rating to 5 stars in the future.
This was my first time at Burger Bar Crescent but had heard such good things so we went as a group of five for my birthday. The service was really good - our server was friendly & prompt, & had a great sense of humor. The atmosphere was great, with lots of people & good music but not too loud. & the food was absolutely delicious! I had the Jack Daniel's BBQ wings (spicy) to start & the flavor was so good! The classic double smash burger for my main was incredible! The char on the edges was perfect & it was so juicy! I would highly recommend! Their fries were a rustic style & perfectly salted. Super good! I will absolutely return. 10/10 would recommend! 👌
An unassuming bar, nice & quiet during the day. Excellent burgers! Actually some of the best burgers I've ever had so I definitely recommend this place :) Update 4 years later: still fantastic burgers!! Sooooo good.
