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.
For once there is truth on advertising: The best hamburger this side of heaven. & one of the rare (haha) places in Montreal where you can get one cooked right: rare or even bleu. BTW the half-pound is the way to go. With their crisp & delish Suzie-Q fries & order a side of pickles.
Food was great burger was really good. Service was ok. For 1 cheese burger no fries & & a drink for $30 dollars way to expensive also including a tip & taxes.
My mom & dad used to come here back in the day & loved it. They wanted to experience the great food & especially the susy Q fries. Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be. Hamburgers are very small, & the meat doesn't hold together. Take one bit, & you lose half of the meat. Took a side salad. Very plain. Nothing special. Coke was flat. I wish I could have experience back in the day, but it seems that Mr Steers was a story from the past. Too bad.
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!
Les burgers sont super bons mais la petite salade verte en entrée était pleine d'eau. Malheureusement il semble y avoir seulement un serveur pour tout le resto donc il travaille fort mais c'est sûr que c'est un peu moins rapide, mais son service était bon quand même. Tables avec banquette confortables, les tables ne sont pas fixées donc fat friendly, je vais pas essayé les petites banquettes du fond donc je ne sais pas si c'est fat friendly. Pas de marche à l'entrée mais je ne crois pas que c'est super bien fait pour une chaise roulante . Les chaises n'ont pas d'accoudoirs & ont l'air pas pires mais je ne les ai pas essayées.

Went with some friends tonight each of us with one thing in mind: A GOOD STEAK.
I had the AAA Rib Steak with a side of "Suzie Q" fries & some coleslaw.
My steak was ordered medium & seasoned with steak spices.
It was just right. Juicy, tender, could have used slightly more seasoned but tasted very good & flavorful nevertheless.
The meat quality was definitely AAA grade.
It reminded me of the late Main deli (R.I.P. 😭😭😭) steaks my Dad & I would always order there, Kosher style. Old school.
Simple, honest & good.
I'm no steak expert by any means, myself eating steaks very seldomly over the years, tonight's being the first in over 2 years.
Service was excellent & very kind & warm.
Atmosphere wise...your typical Texas-style cowboy diner look. Don't like the color scheme too much...
Definitely a great Burger joint & now that I know, steaks too.
The burgers were *excellent* but neither the fries nor the side salads were anything special. The green salad was fairly average, but give the coleslaw a miss...
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.

I had probably given this establishment 5 stars before but last night was quite a disappointment.
First, since the last time we visited this place, the prices have sky-rocketed & the portions became a bit smaller (a smaller plate). The hamburger had a good BBQ taste but the meat was no longer as juicy as it was in the olden days. Secondly, the fries were not the Suzy Q fries that were part of their signature; 3/4 of the plate was filled with little remnants of fries. The Heiniken beer was $8.95! The restaurant was almost empty at 7pm on a Sunday, almost unheard of for this establishment when at one time there were at least 20 people waiting in line to be seated (capacity has gone up to 200). A portion of fries alone will cost one $6.25, espresso/cappuccino about $4.25 just as an example. We left the place disappointed especially since it has become a somewhat touristic trap.
Treated with total disregard upon arrival with white friend. Standing side by side, only white friend was looked at & greeted & spoken to. Three inch piece of HAIR found in my food. Owner/Manager laughed about it(with our waitress) when told about upon my request. When confronted about the laughter by my white friend who witnessed that. The waitress lied & said no. My white friend told her that she was lying because she told her that she SAW THEM! So waitress said "Well, I have to work here!" When owner finally came to our table (Which was at HIS leisure), he looked at, & spoke ONLY to my white friend. She asked him why he was talking to her, when the HAIR was in my food. He spoke to me only from the side of his face. Saying only "So! You say you're not paying for the food!" I never at ANY time said that I will not pay for my food. I was told by the owner/manager concerning the 3 inch piece of HAIR in my food THAT I HAD TO pull OUT OF MY MOUTH AN INCH AT A TIME, that "IT HAPPENS!" I was NOT looked at once during the entire encounter. & had decided then, that I WOULD NOT pay for the food. I in the first place, would not have paid for this type of incompetence. But had not even went that far ahead. Because I had expected to be shown some type of remorse, an apology. Which I DID NOT receive, let alone having been given the decency of actually being LOOKED AT while being "spoken to", which I WAS NOT. Which brings us back to while standing side by side with my white friend upon arrival, her being greeted & spoken to, & my presence being TOTALLY IGNORED.
We have been to Mr Steer a few times before. That day we wanted to try the fish & the Susie Q fries. The service was average, the fish was very oily but the fries were great as always.
I pass by this place 3 times per week but the cheesy sign always stopped me from going in. Well, I ate there before, something like 8 years ago & didn't like it at all, but I saw they did a reno & decided to give them a second shot.
Decent size portion, actually I couldn't finish the fries which were ok, tasty but a bit too oily for my taste. The 1/4 oz hamburger was tiny!!! The meat was good though, better than average.
There were pickles in a jar on the table, not sure what the other reviewers were complaining about.
& to the guys that calls this the best hamburger in town: you need to get out more buddy!
So decent meal for a decent price, daily special was $12, tip included. But for the same money I can get a much better, bigger burger at Hurleys with sweet potato fries. So...this place looks more like a tourist trap to me, won't go back, it is not bad, I just don't see the reason to go into this place given the 100s of restaurants on St. Catherine & close by.
