Patty Slaps has gained a reputation as a standout destination for high quality, flavorful burgers and fries in downtown Montreal, with many patrons calling them the best in the city. Guests frequently praise the juicy meat, fresh ingredients, and unique brioche or pretzel buns, as well as the delicious poutine. While the industrial atmosphere and efficient self service kiosk system are appreciated by many, some visitors find the portion sizes small, the prices relatively high, and the space occasionally smoky or noisy. Although experiences with service and consistency can vary, the majority of customers remain enthusiastic about the taste, making it a regular go to spot for locals and a must visit for those exploring the city.
First of all, we came for their burgers because my sister was craving it, & in the end, it was just to her satisfcation--she called it juicy & smokey. At first, I wasnt feeling a beef burger but when i saw their veggie burger the'Wedgie' it looked really appealing & it did not disappoint. Their vegeterian burger is stuffed with portobellini mushroom & cheese. Compared to the picture, It's not as cripsy as it looks & it was still very flavourful as the inside was cheesy, saucy (aioli) & chewy thx to their mushrooms. Their breads are also homemade pretzel buns & it adds a nice sweet n salty unique touch.
Besides their burgers which we liked so much, we also ordered the frenzy fries which are with'caramelized onions, a mushroom mix & homemade truffle mayo'. I find that their fries alone are thin & not filling, so instead one should try their frenzy fries. Note: dont expect to pay cheap, we paid 57$ tax included for a Psycho patty(lettuce, tomato, bacon++$), Wedgie burger, fries & frenzy fries & 1 drink.
Other than their food, i personally found that the atmosphere was comfortable. Since it was late when we went, you might find that its dim inside but they still offer bright lighting where there is (see in video). The place also had high chairs & fewer ground tables for eating. We also noticed that they had a good playlist but we did have a little trouble speaking aloud. It was a pleasant atmosphere, & the restaurant interior design made me think of an underground sewer pub for burgers.
For the service, we ordered via kiosk & then chose to pay in cash up front. The cashier there seemed already busy bagging other orders before us & online, so maybe we didnt assert enough but we got to pay after 5 minute & we received our orders by giving out our name. The lady was very nonchalant, maybe just tired but she was still nice. Something professional that I want to point out, is how the employees refused to give delivery orders unless the delivery drivers had a bag with them which i overhead them pointing out how its cold oustide. This impressed me because, it shows how they prioritize serving quality & fresh food even when its to be eaten elsewhere. We found their concept really cool & detailed, there was alsways something to look at, from their cups 🥤, tray sheets, the paper wrap for their burgers & even the murals on the walls.
Great quality & very reasonable prices!
The hamburgers are made with fresh, high-quality meat, & the poutine tastes absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

I've been coming to this place for a while & the food is usually great. That said, dining in is a constant disappointment. The branch is always filled with smoke & a strong unpleasant smell, & we leave with our clothes reeking of food every single time.
While the food is decent for the price, the quality has been inconsistent lately. The buns & sauces are very good, but the patties are often burnt & taste bitter.
The place has a nice vibe & I'd still come back, but there are clear issues that need attention. Also, the chairs are freezing in winter - so cold that it's uncomfortable to even sit on them.
Quality of food & service is very nice, one the staff Golnoush was very friendly & professional . We were group of 4, the vegetarian option was very nice too .
I found the smash burgers & fries excellent although certainly wouldn't qualify as cheap in terms of price but the quality of what you are getting is on par.
Total for burger & a fountain drink was $22, plus fries would have been well over $26 probably
That said the burger was excellent, well seasoned, juicy & delicious. I put them in a different class, not fast food but way better than any'comparable' fast food chains in terms of taste (A&W, Mcdo, Harveys etc).
The fries were also a pleasant surprise. Well seasoned & flavorful & much smaller than fast food fries, more akin to sizing you'd get with steak frites.
Pretty cool spot, good vibes. The beef was great tasting & high quality. Super fresh. They had really soft pretzel style brioche bun, perfect balance of ingredients. One thing it lacks was a hit of acidity from pickles or onion or something. Fries were skinny & crispy, loved them! The burgers hit the spot, & they held together really well, so it's great for a quick bite on a date in the city. I'd definitely recommend this place, & I'll certainly be back!
Good portioned food, incredibly kind & considerate staff. There's a lovely patio in the summer. It's incredibly pet friendly! They even offer an unseasoned Dog Patty for your furry companion. Nice good quality cardboard cups. Very juicy food & they have a handwashing station readily available to customers before the restroom. They really spared no expense on the customer experience! Their image & reputation is iconic, from the no-mess baggie they serve their burgers in to the murals & decoration on the wall, One can tell they put effort into every aspect of the experience.
