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. Despite these mixed opinions about value and modern consistency, the restaurant continues to hold a reputation as an iconic spot for those craving an old-school burger in the downtown area.

Walked in with 2 friends on a saturday night when the restaurant was pretty empty. When I asked for a third menu for myself, the waitress said'No, there are only two menus'. Mind you, the restaurant was not even half full. The waitress forgot our drink order & the entrees. She didn't give us any attention & when we asked for the bill, she didn't split it as we had mentioned saying'It's already done'. Sucks to leave a bad review because the food was good but the service was horrible.

Meilleurs burgers & frites à Montréal

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!
