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.
Overall, Mister Steer is described as a nostalgic Montreal icon, with the Steerburger often praised as the best burger in town and the Suzie Q fries along with the Tex Mex poutine receiving strong praise, while prices and drink costs are noted as high by several diners. Some reviews mention excellent service and quick, friendly dining experiences, but others point to inconsistent quality or overpricing for fast casual fare, including takeout issues. The atmosphere is frequently described as retro and family friendly, making it a reliable comfort spot for burgers and classic sides despite mixed value notes.
Stopped by for a basket of fries & a drink with friends.
As usual the fries was a large portion, enough for three adults to snack on with a drink. Curly Q fries were crisp & perfectly flavoured, not greasy & you could not smell anything - which is what you want because it means the restaurant is changing their frying oil properly.
I have eaten here hundreds of time & loved their all beef, no filler hamburger. This is the only restaurant in Montreal from the beginning, that would form its meat into a weighed ball & then press on it to form the shape of a burger. You could almost say that Mr Steer was the first smash burger joint in the city - only that they don't squish it so much that it's a crispy burned dead piece of meat lol. Their burger is done just right, similarly to how What a Burger does.
I also loved that they sell Rootbeer & they serve it in a chilled mug. Tasted to good.
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.

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
Atmosphere & service were great. The food was average unfortunately. Small burger patties, bacon wasn't crispy, & meal was expensive. Signature curly fries were limp. There are many burger places that are far superior.
This Place is a place you need to visit if you love burgers, curly fries, & diner style. the food was awesome, the staff was ultra friendly, the burger was TO DIE FOR.. absolutely loved it! You need to try this place at least once in your life, give it a shot, trust me you wont regret it!

Mister Steer underwent renovations to modernize & enlarge the venue. As a young boy, my mother & I would eat here. I remember yummy burgers & Suzie Q french fries, strawberry milkshakes. Luckily, the menu hasn't strayed from its classic offerings.
I ate here with my sons, aged 5 & 6. We each had cheeseburgers & curly fries, & strawberry milkshakes for dessert.
Service was what one might expect. Pricey, but the food is worth it.
