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.

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.

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!
