At Mister Steer, making first-rate burgers is our business. We use only fresh ingredients in our restaurant, only our ice cream is frozen! Hand shaped patties from the finest kosher beef, deliciously spiced, our burgers are char grilled to a state of perfection.
Mister Steer draws diners with a nostalgic Montreal vibe and classic diner charm, and the burgers are the centerpiece with the Steerburger and the Hero earning high praise for texture and flavor, while the Suzie Q fries and the Tex Mex poutine are frequently highlighted as standout sides; however, some guests feel the prices are steep for fast casual, with drinks and tax/tip adding up and several comments about value not matching cost, and a few meals arriving unevenly or less flavorful than expected compared to cherished memories; service ranges from brisk and friendly to indifferent, and a handful of visits noted a decline in consistency from former favorites, though the spot remains a beloved destination for burger lovers and a notable Montreal institution for those seeking a hearty, retro dining experience.
As my scores reveal, the food was great, but the service was lacking. As we dined mid-afternoon, there were few customers. Our server Mohammed was still inattentive. Quick, yes, but clearly disinterested. We ordered a number 3 & a number 5, but received two number 5s, a more expensive dish. At first confused, we had asked what the difference of the dishes was, & he was unable to tell us. He said he thought we had ordered two number 5s. We were charged the extra $3 which it turns out is for cheese. Mohammed's mistake should not have been charged to us. Oh, & a $4 iced tea should be bigger than a juice box, not smaller. That said, the meat was cooked to perfection. Never has medium-rare been nailed more perfectly by a cook. Bravo!
Mr. Steer is a true gem if you're looking for that classic, authentic vibe! Walking in feels like a step back in time in the best way possible, with an atmosphere that's all about keeping things real & old-school. The menu delivers exactly what you'd hope for-delicious, hearty food that feels comforting & genuine. Their steak is spot-on, cooked just right with that rich, savory flavor that's hard to beat. & the milkshakes? So thick, creamy, & absolutely indulgent! They really don't make them like this anymore. To top it off, their sundaes are the perfect throwback dessert, piled with just the right amount of toppings to make you feel like a kid again. Mr. Steer nails that nostalgic, good-tasting experience that's rare to find these days. Definitely worth a visit!
Service was very friendly & efficient at lunch but the prices are outrageous. For same price you can get a way better burger with fresher toppings & a bigger patty at many restaurants downtown. My tiny burger arrived with the saddest looking slices of onion, lettuce & one sad tomato. There were a decent amount of fries but that in no way justifies the 17,50$ price!

This fabulous downtown diner has, by far, one of the best juicy burgers in Montreal. Been here multiple times in the past ten years & every time, the same high quality food, & service along with a nice North American diner vibe. & the prices are very reasonable! This place has to be on everyone's 💜 list IMHO 😅
Le meilleur resto pour les hamburgers maisons! Ils hachent eux-mêmes leur viande hachée, ce qui permet de choisir sa cuisson. Leur galette est épaisse & juteuse à souhait! Le seul endroit où je peux manger un bon hamburger bleu! ♡

Food was bad & unimpressive, burger patty the size of a toonie, fries unsalted & soggy. Place is old & in need of a reno, $28 for a bad burger fries & a coke. Place needs to step it up to deserve being on St. Cathrine's.
Wow, what a great burger! I've been here before, when I was a kid, but I didn't remember how good these burgers were. I might stop going to the newer burger places I like so much, & come here instead. Had the half pound Texan burger & it was just so enjoyable. That's the closest to the satisfaction of a burger off the BBQ, at my dad's place, I think I've ever had. The fries were very good too - & different. The service was very friendly.
