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. While it remains a go-to destination for many long-time fans and visitors seeking a traditional diner experience, some recent reviews express concerns regarding rising menu prices, inconsistent service quality, and occasional discrepancies in food preparation.

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 love being able to have a medium rare burger. It was absolutely delicious, as was the chocolate banana shake! I come here every time I visit Montreal.

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.
