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.
Overall, Dic Ann's Hamburgers is described as a nostalgic, no frills favorite where simple, well made burgers with fresh ingredients and a flavorful sauce stand out, and where the vibe feels timeless and welcoming with a focus on care and consistency; some reviewers note occasional flaws like fries not cooked long enough or poutine issues and a few service hiccups at the counter, but the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive with calls that the burgers are among the best in town, the atmosphere and cleanliness of the original location are appreciated, and the plate shows that classic fast food done right can still win.
Le personnel était sympa & aidant au niveau de l'explication du menu. Cependant, le goût n'était pas à mon goût. Somme toute, c'était correct au niveau des hamburgers. Mais pour ce qui est de la poutine, je ne l'ai pas particulièrement apprécié. Le prix est raisonnable sinon.
Les meilleurs hamburger à Montréal sa fait plus de 50 ans qu'on va chez dic Ann mes parents & mes frères & soeurs on connaissait dic & ann du très bon monde & les meilleurs hamburger sauce je recommande fortement A1. The best.
J'ai adoré Dic Ann's Hamburgers, facile d'accès, stationnement,service rapide & courtois. "Take out" ou manger sur place à un prix plus qu'abordable. A recommander sans hésitation & à la prochaine!
Une joli expérience Montréalaise typique années 50. Leurs hamburgers aplatis sont savoureux ! Le petit bâtonnet sert à soulever le hamburger qui est servi dans une petite assiette en carton. La boisson fontaine à 2.20 & le double cheese Burger à 6.60 sont très abordables ! Si vous êtes touriste, demandez le all dress, c'est délicieux. La déco est vintage à souhait. Bref un détour à faire !!!

C'était la première fois. J'aime découvrir ce type de restauration ou l'on peut déguster un hamburger d'un style différent de ceux des enseignes multinationales. C'était bon. A essayer au moins une fois.
Ultra long avant de servir !!! Viens pour assembler= plus de pains hamburgers= va chercher, mais chercher les pains & em revenant, il jase avec un autre client arrivé après moi... Je suis là depuis longtemps pour deux commandes pour leur faire plaisir... car, moi, je ne mange pas cela... Enfin reçu ls commande !!! Je pars... En donnant, les commandes plus tard= mélange de commande !!! Ouf !!!
This place just oozes nostalgia. It's a nothing place really. But it's their kosher beef hamburgers as thin as a pancake with burger buns squished as thin as a pancake or less, piles with minced onions & their special sauce. I can't explain it just tastes soooo good. & the pricing is totally not worth it at all. But it's so unique & tasty so I go & get my fill once in a blue moon & pay too much money for a baby sized burger lol. Their fries are like match sticks & I don't like them as the also don't retain heat well & by the time you get them to the table they are nearly room temp. Service is nothing to talk about as it's good. But all in all every location is consistent & awesome.
J'aime beaucoup leur hamburger applati. La sauce est toujours aussi piquante, il faut aimer. Par contre, les dits hamburgers sont rendus hors de prix, aucun sens. L'endroit est vintage & le service est impécable.
