Review Summary

Mister Steer is widely recognized as a nostalgic Montreal landmark that specializes in classic, high-quality burgers and signature curly fries. Many patrons praise the fresh, flavorful meat and the comforting atmosphere, often highlighting the speedy service and welcoming staff as key components of a positive visit.

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!

Je suis allé pour la deuxième fois ( la première étant avant le Covid ) très déçu, la quantité vs le prix c'est vraiment rire du monde 18.50 pour un hamburger pas plus gros que ma patate au four & la liqueur en fontaine à 6$ ça ne vaut vraiment pas le prix, la viande etait bonne mais ça ne vaut pas ce que ça m'a coûter.

Toujours très bon & ça depuis plus de 60 ans selon l'histoire du resto. Un des rares endroits où on peut demander une cuisson médium de la boulette hamburge

Le meilleur resto pour les hamburgers maisons! Ils hachent eux-mêmes leur viande hachée, ce qui permet de choisir sa cuisson. Leur galette est épaisse & juteuse à souhait! Le seul endroit où je peux manger un bon hamburger bleu! ♡

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.

this is by far the best hamburger you'll ever get, ever! update April 2024. I've been there at least four times already this year & every single time I order medium rare & every single time the hamburger comes back medium or medium well a little too expensive not to get it right. I don't know who's in the kitchen but they need better training. as far as service goes, it varies greatly, we had this young guy that was on his cell texting while he was trying to take our order, couldn't believe what I was watching. terrible!

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.
