Dilallo Burger Original 1929 is described as a nostalgic standout where burgers are incredibly tasty, especially the Buck burger, often regarded as one of the best in town, with notes of a juicy double buck and a spicy jalapeno twist. The menu is praised for quality ingredients and a style that feels old timey and comforting, with fries and onion rings that fit the retro vibe. The atmosphere, service and cleanliness are frequently highlighted as positives, and staff are described as friendly and helpful; the place is remembered as an institution in Ville Emard. A few criticisms appear, including occasional order inaccuracies, burgers that are a bit greasy or overcooked, and price perceptions, as well as poutine or fries not always meeting expectations. Takeout experiences vary, with packaging and water service sometimes noted. Overall the restaurant offers a unique, heritage driven burger experience with consistently strong burgers and a lively, welcoming environment, though experiences can differ from visit to visit.
Not impressed with Dilallo .I received 2 x $25 gift certificates for my Birthday,I went to Dilallo to pick up a couple of Buckburgers & fries , when I went to pay with my gift certificates they were perplexed!I was told that anyone can make these , that I needed the receipt, which I couldn't find.anyways not impressed since my Brother in law forked out $50

Dillalos. Where you can bask in the glory of Mario Lemieux, beaming down at you from a giant poster where the man himself has written,'To the Dillalo family, best wishes, your friend, Mario'. The burgers here are like a Time Machine to another time & place. The French fries & onion rings an old friend who hasn't changed & has kept their endearing smile. Root beer served on ice (if you ask for it) & a string of locals who are always up for a chat. How ARE Les Glorieux doing this year? This delightful spot that first opened its doors in 1929 & is an absolute can't miss spot on your classic Montréal restos stops.
The burger was good but you guys completely forgot to add my extra bacon, extra cheese, dill pickle & fried onions! & I ordered it all on uber eats! Can't exactly get my money back after finishing it now cause i was hungry! Look I enjoyed the food & I'll leave it at that, but next time please make sure you double check the extra orders on it!

I haven't been to a Diallo Burger since 1982. There was a little one on Oxford Street in St Laurent, right across from my home. Who says you can't go back. Tasted just as AMAZING as back then. Brought me back to Mt high school years when on Mondays my Mother was tge original, "Skip the Dishes " Thank you so very much. Great burgers & fries.
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.
"I had a great experience at this burger restaurant! The food was delicious, & the service was friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it a nice place to enjoy a meal. Definitely worth a visit!"
I normally really enjoy they're poutines but this time I cracked my tooth on god only know what because I immediately ran to the bathroom & spit it in the toilet. I don't know if it was a bone or what because I ordered the poutine with ground beef & fried onions. Anyways long story short. I now have a dentist bill that I can't afford. Honestly no hate, mistakes happen but I won't be calling there again.

If you are a foodie on a local eats quest, it's worth the trek out here to check out the OG location from 1929. Nearest Metro stop is Monk on the green (1) line & from there less than a 10 minute walk. Staff was friendly & super nice. The thing to get here is the famous Buck burger. I got the double Buck. Being served upside down just means you get the juicy patty side first when you chow down. Unbeatable first taste. Lots of historical artifacts & newspaper clippings around & merch for sale.
