Dic Ann's Hamburgers Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
BurgersPoutine
Dominic "Dick" Potenza was born in West Virginia and grew up in Utica, New York. He became well known in the Rochester - Buffalo area during the 40’s as a head-waiter in the supper-club type restaurants of the era. It was at one of these supper-clubs that he met his future wife, jazz accordionist Ann Collecchia, who performed using the stage name of Ann Russell. Together, they envisioned a fast food restaurant that would serve an original style hamburger with their own special sauce. After much thought, this original style hamburger took the form of a toasted bun containing a thin patty that would cook quickly. After they modified and combined two recipes that they brought with them from Rochester, Dick and Ann developed their famous hot sauce.

Review Summary

Dic Ann's Hamburgers is described across reviews as a nostalgic, no-frills spot that serves simple, well-made burgers with fresh ingredients and a flavor that feels authentic and timeless. The atmosphere is repeatedly called a classic diner vibe, with a time-honored approach that fans say still stands out amid fast food trends, and the burgers are frequently labeled some of the best in Montreal. Fries are often highlighted as a great accompaniment, while poutine quality varies and can be hit or miss. The original location is noted for being clean and well kept, with limited seating that makes it feel like a dine-in or takeout favorite. Some comments mention service at the counter as not perfect and note concerns about franchising and training, though the core product and the iconic burger experience remain the main draw.

You can truly taste the authenticity of the ingredients. It's been a long time since I've had a burger that felt this genuine - probably not since the mid-2000s. There's something refreshingly simple about it: no gimmicks, no trends, just a classic burger made the way it used to be.

I'm grateful this place is still around. It feels like a time capsule to when fast food wasn't pretending to be healthy - it was just honest, flavorful, & made with care. Dic Ann's is a rare reminder that simple done right will always win.

This was cool in the 80's but going back after all these years made me realize that it was & still is a gimmick. I also have never witnessed a server mess up this much at a'bar counter' with 7-8 clients. They actually sell franchises but they are not even trying at all.

Christmas came early this year my friends. Crossing the PIE-IX bridge heading straight to Chez Matante - a greater power took over & pulled me into to the Dic Ann's parking lot. When I walked in, there he stood behind the grill, Santa Claus himself the last disciple of the great Mr. Dominic Potenza. A man with 44 years of Dic Ann's experience manning the that holy grill, his name escapes me but his face is imprinted in my mind since I was 18 years old (do the math). He stood side by side with Dic & became a master himself. That is not a line - its unreal the quality this man serves out.

The best cheeseburgers ever, cheese dog on the side, Pepsi, Fries & then the ultimate Dic Ann's order came calling out of my voice'Repeat !' - I had tears in my eyes.

Now I know his time is limited - It would be a great move if the Franchise Group made him the corporate chef & let him teach all those new cooks how to do it right at the original restaurant.

I can testify that many franchises need his help. You can not pull some young lad off the street & hand him the spatula & expect anything great to happen - they all need training. The product excellence must live on.

A Customer for over 50 years !
