Overall, Dilallo Burger Original 1929 is seen as a Montreal classic with tasty burgers, real fries, and a welcoming diner vibe that attracts families and locals alike. However, service quality and value can vary, and some visits note order mistakes, price concerns, or inconsistent fries and poutine.
Overall, it's a decent place, but value could be better & some fine tuning. This place was once an institution in the area. Food over all is good. However, the slab of raw onion the put on a burger overpowers the burgers' nice flavor. Their use of dipping the bun & steaming them does make them soft but almost like soggy bread. Their portions are a bit on the small side for a $13-$15 burger & fries. As much as $20 if you want a poutine. I had a burger & fries with a beer, & it was over $28, & I left hungry. I thought about getting another sm fries ($4), but my partner was almost finished, so we just settled & left. The atmosphere was fine other than the fruit flies that wouldn't leave us alone, the taped up booth, & the mens washroom with a hole in the floor. Staff was pleasant & attentive. Tips: make the fires size a bit bigger with the burgers, use a larger bun to withstand the steaming/ddipping. Maybe dip a bit less & throw it on the grill. Possibly add an oz or two to the patty to keep the balance of the larger bun with meat.
Really popular location in Ville Emard - I went on Sunday morning & half of the seats had been taken. If you're looking for a simple burger, then you'll get what you need from Dilallo. I rate the food as OK - didn't blow my mind, but it didn't disappoint me. Poutine had too much gravy in my opinion, next time I'll ask for less. I rate service as 4/5 because they ignored me for 5 minutes when I was waiting to be seated.

Dilallo's food on Allard is always great. We come for the juicy pepper burgers & crispy onion rings. The service is naturally fast. I upgraded the score to 5 stars since the food quality has been top shape for several months in a row. Always a favourite in our family, & has been for decades.
It is an old school kind of diner. The place was charming with interspersed theme decors. The burgers were tasty but one can find better options as well.
The burgers are legendary but I find the atmosphere to be a bit cold . People are not very smiley or welcoming. It felt like walk in get ur food & have a good one.
