ZEEZ is widely celebrated for serving some of the best smash burgers in Montreal, featuring juicy, flavorful patties and soft potato buns that consistently impress visitors. Many diners appreciate the unique house sauce, the flavorful chili and mushroom options, and the popular smashed potatoes. The service is frequently described as friendly and welcoming, with the complimentary popcorn being a standout touch that adds to the casual, upbeat atmosphere. While the space is compact and can get busy, most guests find the affordable prices and high quality of the food well worth the visit, making it a favorite destination for late-night cravings.
Might be one of the best burgers I've ever had. If not the best. Been trying to remember a better one. Top two or three for sure. Staff is nice, got lucky to catch it when it wasn't swamped with a long line. I didn't want an order of fries to eat but they were nice enough to give me just a few to try. Also great.
First time at Zeez! Got the regular double cheeseburger, which was excellent. Too much sauce for my liking I may ask to reduce it next time if you don't like a soggy bun by the end but honestly it was excellent & I ate it fast enough it didn't matter! Love that its open so late everyday, too!
Usually zeez burger are amazing, this is my 3rd visit but today the experience was very bad. It wasn't busy, i was the only customer. The cashier had a weird attitude while taking my order but who cares at least she was fast but when she gave me the chili burger, it was so bad, extremely soggy mixed with extremely oily onion. It tasted like old dirty oil. It's been 6hrs now & that food is giving me disgusting burps. 🤢
Wont give them one star as previous 2 times, the experience was 10/10 & taste also.
Maybe they can improve their packaging. Wrap the burger & then put inside plastic container or cardboard. It would look nicer & make the burger less soggy.
Best burger ever! 🍔
The smash burger was incredibly juicy, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. Every bite was amazing! The fries were crispy, the service was friendly, & the whole experience was 10/10. If you're looking for the best burger in Montreal, I highly recommend ZEEZ. I'll definitely be coming back!
Yet another restaurant in Montréal that can't season their food!! It takes what would have been a 7.5 or 8/10 all the way down to a 4. There's never enough salt & the spices or other seasonings they use is almost nothing. The atmosphere is corny & the music is too loud & the staff don't really speak French. I went once about a year ago & it was equally bad & today I decided to give it another shot, something I definitely regret.
An excellent burger joint, far superior to the many that are more famous. What makes a great burger is a great patty & a great bun & this place delivered on both counts. Strongly recommend
