At Mister Steer, making first-rate burgers is our business. We use only fresh ingredients in our restaurant, only our ice cream is frozen! Hand shaped patties from the finest kosher beef, deliciously spiced, our burgers are char grilled to a state of perfection.
Mister Steer draws diners with a nostalgic Montreal vibe and classic diner charm, and the burgers are the centerpiece with the Steerburger and the Hero earning high praise for texture and flavor, while the Suzie Q fries and the Tex Mex poutine are frequently highlighted as standout sides; however, some guests feel the prices are steep for fast casual, with drinks and tax/tip adding up and several comments about value not matching cost, and a few meals arriving unevenly or less flavorful than expected compared to cherished memories; service ranges from brisk and friendly to indifferent, and a handful of visits noted a decline in consistency from former favorites, though the spot remains a beloved destination for burger lovers and a notable Montreal institution for those seeking a hearty, retro dining experience.
When asking people what the best burger in Montreal is, you're likely to get a bunch of more modern & trendy burger places & a lot of those restaurants do have amazing burgers but Mr. Steer has the single best one: The Hero.
I've never tasted a meat patty so good that you could have it by itself & still be satisfied. It's super thick & always cooked to perfection. EVERY BITE is heaven. The'suzie Q' fries you get alongside it are amazing as well.
If you're also gonna get a poutine, their'Tex-Mex' is one of the best I've ever had. The only bad thing I have to say is that the price is too much. 22$ for a poutine is unacceptable.
I'd be in trouble if I lived near this place... 10/10

To start, the owner of'67 years' met us at the door. We briefly delved into some history & how Ken Dryden was a regular there every home game, 40X/year. Many of the Habs have eaten there. No doubt, as Mr. Steer has'the best' burgers in all of Montreal!! Dont miss this spot when ib Montreal!!
This was the only disappointing food I've have encountered in Montreal yet, I have never left a negative review before & our server was so sweet & kind, I would not recommend the steer burger. I paid $35 & a $5 tip for just a $10 poutine as the burger was the worst burger I've ever had, they offered a replacement burger but I lost my appetite after the first one was so terrible.

I always loved Mister Steer but my last burger (today august 2025) i ask for a medium cook for takeout & received a really uncook meat. So much it was almost raw. I coudn't return cuz i was in between job. I was really disappointed for a 14$ burger only. So sad for a super burger usually! Don't think i will return again.
Je suis retournée manger à ce restaurant que j'affectionnais à l'époque. J'ai été très déçue. Le burger qu'on m'a servi était mal formé quoique son goût reste aussi authentique. Les patates torsadées étaient trop cuites, toute sèches. 18,50$ + le pourboire + la taxe, on s'en sort autour de 25$. Ça fait cher le plat de fast food.

Our food was good. Salad was just lettuce & shredded carrot, was not offered a dressing. Our waitress, when asked of the onion rings were thin or thick cut, had no idea what I was asking. My husband had a burger & it was good, but more bun than meat. I just had curly fries, which were very good.
We were seated quickly. Service was great.
The food was nice, especially the burger meat. The fries were good & different from other places, but not seasoned or barely.
With construction work happening on the street, it s best to use public transit or go straight to an indoor parking if using car.
I've been going to this resto for 40 years & the burgers are as good as ever! My first time having a poutine & it was enjoyable. Love this place, its my favorite burger place. Here's to another 40 years!
Mister Steer is a true gem for anyone craving vintage Montreal vibes & comfort food done right. From the retro decor to the friendly service, everything about this place feels like a nostalgic throwback-in the best way possible.
The menu is extensive with something for everyone, but let's be honest-you're here for the burger. Their signature Steerburger has earned its reputation as'the best burger in the world,' & it really lives up to the hype: juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked every time.
Prices are super reasonable for the quality & portions. & don't skip the famous Suzie Q fries-they're crispy, curly, & the perfect sidekick to any meal.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, Mister Steer is a must-visit spot that captures the heart (& appetite) of Montreal.
back when I wanted a burger, it would be a mr steer burger . The recipe was unique & a must have if you're visiting Montreal. The suzy q fries were also a fun treat :) I went back recently & wasn't as impressed by the burger but it was good. Maybe the recipe changed because it had less flavour than I remember. Also the fries used to be more curly & these were oily. I'm a vegan most of the time now so meat is less appealing. I don't see myself coming back. It wasn't worth the exception
