dull dining

This restaurant has been around for more than 50 years. The interior is styled like an old-fashioned diner, with shiny stools and metallic-trimmed booths. Each booth, including the tiny one for two that I was seated at, sported a large shelf filled with condiments.

On my recent visit, I went here for a quick lunch, close to the office. Although the restaurant is well known for its burgers and... plus

I really wanted to like this place, with its highly-reviewed American food and cute signature steer. Unfortunately, the service was sub-par. First of all, service was slow and aloof. They were out of the nightly special (Fish & Chips), but we didn't find this out until five minutes after we ordered. Then, we had to practically hunt down the server to re-order and remind her that we were still... plus

Mister steer, sometimes confused with Steerburger, but sadly not in the same league. It's not a bad restaurant, it's just overrated. I like the fact that its a bit of a neighborhood favorite, but they do not make a memorable burger. I wouldn't avoid returning, I just won't make it a destination.

A decent hamburger joint, you probably won't have a bad meal but you won't be amazed. They serve you a small salad when you sit down and the soft drinks come in frosty mugs.

Epicurious my beloved brought me here, this place in its self is a blast from the past! I feel 5 again only thing that's missing is bell bottom pants and tobacco Adidas shoes it Great place to take a load off and have a decent burger odd burger cause of its ball shape but whatever its a burger and they grill'em well or medium as well .. oh and the fries with a side order of mayo your in diner... plus

Do one thing at this institution: order the strawberry shortcake. It's pricy but it's a monstrous good old fashioned smile-maker. My son had the most s@!t-eating grin I've ever seen on his face when the waitress smashed it down in front of him and said: Good Luck brave man. And then she gave me a wink and a spoon. Loved it.

That's A Good Burger.

Mister Steer is another Montreal experience. If you walk in at 6:30 on a Habs game night, you will be backhanded with some of Montreal's finest diner ambiance and hustle n' bustle.

To keep up with the Jones', they have made additions to the original menu but in the spirit of being a Montreal purist, I just get the special.

The Suzy Q Fries. The fries are...in a word,... plus

All burgers are not created equal... and Mister Steer's is on the mediocre side, which is why I don't understand what all the fuss and rage is about. I really wanted to like this place, but the food didn't do it for me :(

Oh Mister Steers, how I miss you so.

Favorite burger joint in Montreal. Don't expect it to be classy - it's got that old school diner feel, including the dirt from all those years ago.

The service isn't the friendliest, promptest or most accommodating... also expect them to be mainly versed in French with minimal English abilities - can be frustrating, welcome to Quebec.

I love Steer... plus

Love Mister Steer!

They are child friendly and have high chairs. The service is friendly and quick and the food is yummy!

I like the fact they use Kosher meat for their burgers and hot dogs. It takes a lot of the mystery out of it! (Meaning everything is 100% beef and taken from the good parts of the cow and also guarantees that the animal was disease free before it was slaughtered).

Its my go-to place before concerts/hockey games given its proximity to the Bell Centre, quick service and good burgers at fair prices.

The decor is very 70s diner and its situated between two strip clubs....all part of its charm!

As soon as you are seated you get a green salad - condiments are on the table and your choices are limited to orange (french?) dressing or oil and vinegar....again,... plus

Mister Steer is a Montreal institution. Once voted to have the best burgers in Montreal . The interior has a dated 70's diner feel to it.

Once you are seated - be prepared to get a green salad. There's no way to say no to it. The waitress will serve it to you immediately (I see the salad as a good introduction to the grease that's about to come...) and you have only 1 choice of dressing:... plus

I went to this place because it is close to my hotel.

I ordered a quarter pound burger, curly fries and a vanilla milk shake. The burger was very good, but the fries were very disappointing. They were lukewarm, soft and flat as if they sat on the side for a long time waiting to be served. The shake was just ok.

As for service, it was ok as well.

Had a nice lunch here before the Alouette's game with my father in law as he was mentioning he has eaten here for 35 years! We ordered rootbeers and ordered lunch and it was out (no joke) 2 min later. Good quality non greasy burger with curly fries. I had a cheeseburger and fries and they brought out a nice salad before. So funny the choices of salad dressing are French (which they leave on the... plus

We found this place having lost patience with Cora's. What a gem! A nice mix of old world American diner and Montreal ambience. It serves all day, but we only experienced the breakfast menu on the two days we visited. Wholesome, simple fare, with unlimited coffee all at very reasonable prices.

I LOVE steak and shake and this is definitely the steak and shake of Montreal. The bright lights and signs that covered the outside of this place are so Hilarious....all I saw was a large cow head with a big cowboy hat and all I could do was laugh my a@s off. So if what they were going for was attention they had my all!

When you walk inside it's like there's a giant hall filled with a long bar... plus

Somehow this is the best American style food I've ever had. I know that seems strange since I was in Canada!

It was late in the evening and a friend and I were walking down Sainte-Catherine and we needed a bite to eat. It was pretty late so we weren't sure what we would be able to find. After walking around taking photos in the cold wet weather, a warm, comfortable place to eat had clearly... plus

Fairly standard burger and fries joint with no frills to other. Proceeded to follow my friends and go there for lunch after we drove up from Boston. Don't ask me why exactly we went there but we were famished, it was close and we just went with it. No point in arguing and trying to spend time trying to find something else when you're both tired and hungry.

All five of us were sat at two... plus

Steer Burger cooked medium rare is the besssstest thing on the menu... I don't usually like eating burgers but this one wassss AMAZZZZZING AND JUICY JUICY JUICY. By far the most tasty I have ever had!!!

Mister Steer's is a surprisingly good place. Tucked between 2 strip clubs each with its own 'promoter' outside screaming at dudes to come in for 'a free try', you wouldn't think their food is outstanding. I always get the plate with 2 burgers (one with cheese and one with bacon). The meat is sort of ball-shaped and has a lot of flavour. Fries are good as well and prices are reasonable.

I discovered Mister Steer at about eight this morning as I wandered the streets around my hotel seeking an alternative to what would undoubtedly be a twenty-five dollar Sheraton breakfast. The happy-looking steer wearing a cowboy hat beckoned me and, always the sucker for an animal that knows that as long as it remains a successful logo, it won't end up on someone's plate, I stopped in.

Today... plus

Mister Steer has lots of seating and reasonable prices. The food is okay - I had a western omelette. However, the service is horrible. I waited for about 30-40 minutes for my order when folks around me were getting served. When they finally brought my order, it didn't have the side dish that I had asked for. The server was friendly, but clearly over her head even though the restaurant wasn't... plus

Mr. Steers. Not the regular burger. Not the greasy, sloppy burger, not a burger made of chuck either, but made of steak. Makes for a different tasty burger served as a ball instead of a patty with crispy bacon and Susy-Q fries to die for AND they have black cherry cola. SOLD.

This place has been around for decades and I've been going for over 20 years. Definitely worth the stop. Not cheap but... plus

People I've met seem to love this place. Maybe...

People I've met seem to love this place. Maybe because it's different? The burger is really thick, it's practically a meat ball which makes it hard to cook. Every time I've been the burger is hardly cooked in the middle. The "Suzy Q" fries are your every day curly fries, except you get about a ton of them.

Interesting little meal. This place is supposed to have the best burgers in Montreal. Ummm.. eh?

I got the #7 which included a hotdog (on a burger roll) and a little burger. The hot dog was tasty, the burger was OK. It came with a salad but the only options were using the oil & vinegar on the table. I love oil & vinegar so that was a-ok for me.

I'm guessing this was kind of a tourist trap, as... plus
