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.

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

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'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!

Food: Poutine was okay-not a lot of flavor going on despite ordering the Steer Burger & Tex Mex poutines. Pecan pie was just pecans on top of a corn syrup jelly. Really not good. Would be very surprised if it was even made in house & not brought in frozen. What bothered me as well was how confident this restaurant's marketing is that they have the best food around, despite easily having some of the worst for Ste-Catherine, in my opinion. For this quality cheap fast food with apparently not much care put into it, I did not expect the big price tag, which I found offensive.

Service: Our server, a young man seemed great! An older woman who also served us seemed a little grumpy with us for whatever reason.

Atmosphere: I always love a diner vibe. Space was good for calm conversation, but we were around quite late.

I would not return, & would recommend others not to either.

Our family has been coming here since they were young so it was special for us to all go here for my dad's birthday! Our server, Mohammed was the best. He was so kind & made sure we were taken care of even though they were closing soon. Definitely recommend the poutine with your burger!

Our service was fantastic, polite, engaging & prompt. The atmosphere was kinda neat, felt like an old school diner. My boy said he enjoyed his poutine as we grabbed a light snack on the way through.

Welcoming staff, got seated to a table very quickly. A few booth seatings were decently comfortable for a meal. Ordered the steer burger & poutine. The burger was made to order & was good. There is an assortment of sauce at the table to adjust to your taste & liking. The poutine was good. The string fries is different from what I had before. I did give an extra crispiness to the poutine. Was a good experience.

Late night food was quite good. We had a club & poutine & a couple Cesar salads.
All very fresh & great quality.

Je vais à ce resto depuis que je suis toute petite! Il a été rénové depuis quelques mois, mais il reste que l'ambiance rétro est restée intacte. Je trouve que les portions ont diminuées, & la qualité des frites suzie Q a diminuée.. Il reste que c'est un gros coup de coeur pour ma part. Je prend toujours un hamburger avec une petite poutine. La boulette est épaisse & très juteuse, digne d'un des meilleurs hamburger que j'ai mangé. Pour ce qui est du service, les serveuses sont toujours très souriante & la nourriture arrive en moins de 10 minutes. Cependant, elles ont toujours de la difficultés à parler français...

Un Fast-Food ''old fashion'', où tu vas avant d'aller au cinéma ou avant d'aller voir une game de hockey.
