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.

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.

I pass by this place 3 times per week but the cheesy sign always stopped me from going in. Well, I ate there before, something like 8 years ago & didn't like it at all, but I saw they did a reno & decided to give them a second shot.
Decent size portion, actually I couldn't finish the fries which were ok, tasty but a bit too oily for my taste. The 1/4 oz hamburger was tiny!!! The meat was good though, better than average.
There were pickles in a jar on the table, not sure what the other reviewers were complaining about.
& to the guys that calls this the best hamburger in town: you need to get out more buddy!
So decent meal for a decent price, daily special was $12, tip included. But for the same money I can get a much better, bigger burger at Hurleys with sweet potato fries. So...this place looks more like a tourist trap to me, won't go back, it is not bad, I just don't see the reason to go into this place given the 100s of restaurants on St. Catherine & close by.

Love this place. Been going here for 47 years. They used to give a piece of Dentyne gum on the side of the plate if you ordered a burger with onion, (they should start doing that again).The generosity has changed since the Reno. No pickles in the bowl that was ALWAYS on the table. I ordered a hamburger steak, & the gravy was in a paper cup. Recently renovated, a shocking change from the old. Don't know why they did the Reno, it was great before, very nostalgic. My hamburger steak was cooked to perfection & so was my wife's burger. Service is good.

Newly renovated & expects customers to pay for the work!

What an utter disappointment & letdown!!! Been eating at their establishments (present & previous since 1958 when they began). Wanted to try the newly-designed... "If it ain't broke" - now it is.

Loved the food & all the little extras/eccentricities such as - the pot of dill pickle slices (now no longer on table or free & "Pickles $1.75" on menu, the little shaker of seasoned salt for the dress-your-own-salad (gone), ditto for the garlic powder.

Worst surprise is the Daily Specials, always available till closing now end at 3:00 p.m., making your meal on which now has as separate charges the soft drink & also the potatoes or baked beans. Beans now taste like the cheapest canned versions (were homemade through all the years). This will have been my final visit. I can get better in many places & a finer meal for sure for my $17 before tip! Complaints & comments brought only excuses.

Customers should stay away in droves so these guys get the point that you cannot pull the plug on all that was & hike your prices at the same time!

Best burgers in Montreal! Love the good, the ambiance is a little old fashioned & needs to be renovated but all in all a good place to eat a fast bite! :)
