I've made the mistake of coming here late at night for dinner twice now & I would say that if you come here when it's late & busy don't expect the staff to be nice, they're clearly really tired…the wait times are very long, I thought I could avoid that by doing Uber pick up but still ended up waiting almost 20 mins after the pick up time. The food doesn't come out at the same time which means your fries might be waiting on the counter for your burger to be done…one or all of your food will be cold by the time you get it. Also, I've never been offered the complimentary popcorn until I finally asked for one cause I was starving while waiting. I got a trio: the mushroom burger with 3 patties which was very well done…crispy even. It wasn't as good as the other reviews claimed & I had to add my own pickles at home to make it taste better. I upgraded my fries to a poutine which tasted like the one at Costco…don't expect fresh cut fries bc they don't exist here. I've had their zeez potatoes which are good the first time/once. Next time, I will just go to uniburger for my burger fix & if you're like me (needing to eat something late at night) just make something at home & avoid the food regret. Or if you must, go to Kahwa down the street for their panko chicken sandwich if they're still open. It always slaps & their bread is fresh & made to order.View more

I had the mushroom smash burger & it was sooo good. Fries are excellent too they are battered style fries which are the best in my opinion. Overall great experience. Lady there was nice as well.View more

Un des meilleurs smashed burger en ville, le classique & le mushroom melt sont super bon. À conseillé. Dommage qu'ils n'ont pas de terrasse pas grand places à l'intérieur mais tant que la recette est bonne it's a must try! & pas oublié leur smashed potatoesView more

FOOD: I had the Mushroom Melt (tripple) smash burger & an order of the Zeez Potatoes w/crispy chicken pieces as a protein topping. The burger was juicy, flavorful & filling. The bun was OK/good but nothig special there. I'll give it an overall solid 8.5 out of 10. The Zeez potatoes though fell a bit short for me as it wasn't crispy at all, it had bits of a cut-up yellow processed cheddar cheese that was not melted on it & the'spicy' sauce has not kick nor was it'flavorful'. I'll give this an overall 6.5 (I'd recommend the smashed potatoes by itself though.
SERVICE:, the young lady serving was nice but it wasn't busy at the counter (we were there at 5:05) but I watched as my burger & potatoes orders were ready & just stood there for 6mins18seconds (on the counter) until I finally made eye-contact with here before she called me up to take my order (her priorities were incoming orders from online orders, I guess)..
ATMOSPHERE: Hard to judge as it wasn't super busy & it's really a small whole in the wall restaurant but I'll give it the 4 stars here since it serves its purpose & should not be dinged for it.
I'd definitely recommend the burgers -we were a party of 3 & we had 4 diff burgers & we enjoyed them all. I'd also recommend the fries only (not the poutine as I found the sauce lacking...but I did not go for their poutine anyways) & also recommend the smashed potatoes (not the Zees Potatoes with the sauce & protrin toppings..).View more

Free popcorn……& the chicken sandwich with either the mushroom melt or the chilli crisp is great! Better for take out since the seating area is quite small.View more

Mimi
Their smash burgers live up to their name: SMASH BURGER 💥 you can see the crispiness on the edge of the patties . They made their right choice of lettuce, with a great touch of their special sauce. I tried all of their burgers & I can say their truffle mushroom burger was out of this world! For the price & quality, you are winning. What I appreciated the most is the consistency of their food. Twice already, one in the evening, another at noon, still the same burger as I first had. Wish I had pictures of them, I was so famished , i forgot to take them.... Another excuse to go back!View more

Wicked undercover burger joint. Friendly bloke offered us popcorn in the way in, served a nice truffle & mushroom beef burger. Great gluten free option on smashed potato. Normally the gfree option is half the size, this was double the sizeView more

BE CAREFUL! I HAD AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE. It was a Wednesday night at about 11:30. We thought why not try this place for a quick midnight snack. I should not have come. There were two guys in there, severely understaffed for the amount of incoming orders. Nothing was cooking but papers of orders & Ubers were stacking up. We waited about 45 minutes for what you see in this picture. I don't like being mean in reviews but my god this was not edible (& I did not eat it) The mushroom burger was dry & sloppily put together, I mean look at it, it tasted so greasy & heavy I could not finish it. I had MUNCHIES could not finish. The fries were dry & the dipping sauce it came with actually had the aftertaste of vomit. I'm not exaggerating, that's what I described to my friend. The poutine ? Tabarnak man c'est insultant qu'on estokebecicitte pi que la poutine soit si bland. Please lord. There are great reviews on this resto. I'm assuming this is a bad experience on an understaffed night with no time to cook up a meal that is acceptable. Again I feel bad with this review cause the guys working seemed stressed & overwhelmed. They don't pay yall enough to deal with what you dealt with this Wednesday night. But bro, this is my experience. To all readers just be careful when you order here. I genuinely regret the 27$ I spent on this bad food that I ended up THROWING OUT & going to AnW down the street. 3 stars so that it doesn't negatively affect rating but I would give 0 stars if I was honestView more

Fantastic burgers! Great mushroom melt burger. Great addition to the plateau.
Hailey
Amazing smash burger, small space but enough seats for some customers. The complimentary popcorn while your food is being prepared is a great little gimmick. The mushroom melt & the classic burgers were sooo good, juicy but not just grease.View more

Had the BBQ crunch & the Swiss mushroom melt & they were a delicious late night comfort food. Also got a complimentary bag of popcorn with my order.View more

Nice place. The service is fast, there's complementary popcorn, a student discount & a buy 4 get 1 free stamp card. I got the chili crisp burger & my boyfriend got the mushroom burger. I personally liked the mushroom burger more, I was expecting something bigger from the chili crisp, & I found that it was quite greasy. We also got the smashed potatoes, they were good. Other than that a great experience, fast service even though we were there during a rush! Also they have hand wipes for when you're done eating :)View more

La vague des smash burgers déferle désormais sur Montréal & de nombreuses adresses ont fait leur apparition ou ont vu leur popularité décupler. Je parle, bien sûr, de Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine, Mange dans mon hood, l'Hamburger & j'en passe. Porté par l'ultime houle, le Zeez est le petit (littéralement) dernier à accoster au quai de la métropole & il ne lésine pas sur les moyens pour se faire remarquer : sac de maïs soufflé gratuit pour tous, prix compétitifs (de 9 à 11 $ pour le sandwich, ajoutez de 6 à 8 $ de plus pour un trio), décors accrocheurs & festifs avec enseignes au néon, &, surtout, un hambourgeois à la sauce percutante & à la galette parfaitement croustillante. Autant de caractère désirable qui ne manque pas de se faire remarquer par les jeunes à l'affût des dernières tendances, comme en témoigne cette jeune paire de critiques culinaires, lumière & appareil photo à la main, venue décortiquer l'ensemble du menu. J'y ai donc amené mon amie qui ne sait jamais refuser un hambourgeois &, nos esprits animés par l'honorable prestation de notre repas, notre connivence a affleuré, soulevée par nos rires & nos regards complices. Bien que nous eussions goulument englouti l'ensemble - sandwich, poutine, frites (offertes par la maison !), boisson gazeuse, nous nous sommes attardés sur place, profitant de l'ambiance agréable & de la relative quiétude de l'endroit pour un brin de jasette & une séance photo pour immortaliser notre camaraderie. Alors, tout est beau, hein ! Presque. D'abord, après observation des habitudes des clients, il faudrait voir si la portion de maïs soufflé en entrée est trop... généreuse. Pour éviter les gaspillages ! Ensuite, le type de frites utilisé, croquant & assaisonné, convient moins à une poutine que les frites molles traditionnelles. Puis, l'offre de boisson est très limitée : Canada Dry, Crush, Sprite, Coca-Cola ou une bouteille d'eau. Introduire un produit plus local ne serait pas une vilaine idée. Je regrette enfin l'usage de l'anglais utilisé pour paraître plus désinvolte & jeune. « Let's Get Smashed » énonce le néon. Autrement dit : « Défonçons-nous ». Sur le menu, les produits sont annoncés par les titres soi-disant accrocheurs « Mushroom Melt », « Chilly Crisp » & « BBQ Crunch ». À force de renforcer l'idée que l'anglais est plus séduisant, on finit par y croire. C'est ennuyeux & ça manque d'audace. Osons le français ! (À titre personnel, je n'ai rien contre l'anglais que j'utilise quotidiennement.) Pourquoi ne pas appeler les « smash burgers » des... croque-bourgeois ? « Zeez, les meilleurs croque-bourgeois du Plateau ! » Voilà qui ne manquerait pas d'attirer l'attention.View more

I have been seeing so many ads for this place so decided to come try it out. We ordered the BBQ & the Mushroom burgers & their famous smashed potatoes. The burgers tasted good but the meet was over cooked, with burnt black edges (see photos) & they were really small, one is not enough to make me full As for potatos, it was awful, it was supposed to be smashed & toasted, but it was just potato skins (left overs maybe? ) that were over fried to the level they were dark brown, I could taste charcoal in it. For the portions & quality provided, the place is overpriced, this cost me $35 (no drinks nothing). One good thing is the popcorn idea that they give you while waiting. Overall, not recommended & I don't think I'll go again.View more
