Mister Steer (Mr. Steer)

Atmosphere. Nostalgic & classic old style restaurant. Clean, warm atmosphere.

Service. Friendly, bilingual, knowledgeable & accommodating.

Food. Always consistently good.

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.

Bottom line. Will I return - without a doubt!

Quick weeknight dinner for two. Had the Mr. Steerburger (1/4 pound) with coleslaw & a small Coke. Food & service were very good, but $24 (including tax but not tip) is too expensive for what I got. A side of cole slaw was $5.95 & a small coke was $4.95, which is excessive (They charge $9.55 for a mug of draft beer (not a pint, which is $12.55, which is more expensive than almost any bar in town),$4.95 for coffee & $7.55 for a glass of tomato juice, so they are clearly gouging on drink prices). The resto was practically empty too at 7PM! Good food at an iconic & nostalgic Montreal spot, but bang for your buck, it's not worth it!

Burgers were fine, fries were fine. Don't buy a soft drink, very expensive. 4.75$ for a child size coke. Wait staff clearly did not want to be there

We are currently eating at this restaurant & I am very shocked by the drink. You get a tiny cup of soft drink for 4.55 $ .This is crazy & no respect for the client. You can have a whole bottle for less of the price in a supermarket. I have never ever complained about a restaurant but i think it is too much really.

Newly renovated & expects customers to pay for the work!

What an utter disappointment & letdown!!! Been eating at their establishments (present & previous since 1958 when they began). Wanted to try the newly-designed... "If it ain't broke" - now it is.

Loved the food & all the little extras/eccentricities such as - the pot of dill pickle slices (now no longer on table or free & "Pickles $1.75" on menu, the little shaker of seasoned salt for the dress-your-own-salad (gone), ditto for the garlic powder.

Worst surprise is the Daily Specials, always available till closing now end at 3:00 p.m., making your meal on which now has as separate charges the soft drink & also the potatoes or baked beans. Beans now taste like the cheapest canned versions (were homemade through all the years). This will have been my final visit. I can get better in many places & a finer meal for sure for my $17 before tip! Complaints & comments brought only excuses.

Customers should stay away in droves so these guys get the point that you cannot pull the plug on all that was & hike your prices at the same time!
