ZEEZ is widely praised for its smash burgers with juicy patties, crispy exteriors, and flavorful house sauces that make each bite memorable, with standout options like chili crisp and mushroom melt. The value is a recurring theme, thanks to affordable prices, generous portions, and a loyalty program plus student discounts that many reviewers appreciate. Free popcorn when waiting and a friendly, welcoming staff add to the experience, which many describe as cozy and casual despite the small space. While service is often praised, occasional delays during peak hours are noted, along with the compact seating that encourages takeout or outdoor options when weather allows. Vegetarian and vegan patties are appreciated by diners seeking plant-based choices, and the smashed potatoes and fries regularly receive praise for crunch and flavor. Overall, the spot is celebrated as a standout in Montreal for burgers, with repeat visits common as different menu items are explored and the vibe stays upbeat and family friendly.

Je suis allé tester le Zeez burger & malheureusement je ne suis pas ressorti avec le woww attendu, j'ai attendu 25 min pour avoir ma commande & une fois servi les burgers étaient tièdes presque froids.. ma commande est resté 5 minutes sur le comptoir le temps que les smash potatos soient prêtes. Après le service est très agréable mais le burger est surcôté, trop gras à mon goût & trop petit pour le prix. Le smash potato est bon mais rien d'incroyable non plus. Le lieu est fort petit & très bruyant. Je recommande pas spécialement.

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.

There is way too much oil in everything & onion. It is fat all the way. We bring the dish home & got that fresh onionish smell stick for almost 2 days. Meat is tasteless & dead dry. Not too expensive thought. The base concept with smashed potatoes is good but needs to be reworked.

Trung

Reasonable price for a really good smash burger.
For a popular place in a'trendy' location it wouldnt be suprising for the staff to be stuck up if not a bit anal but Zee's are the opposite. Kudos
