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: French (never asked if you can have ranch..)
Mr. Steer is known for their ball burgers. What I mean by this is that the meat is not shaped into a flat patty - but rather a ball. It cooks nice and evenly on the outside. The only way to order a burger here is medium - anything else and you are loosing out on the flavour.
Another great item here are the Suzie Q fries. These are curly fries that you can get with your burger. The fries are a hit or miss. Sometimes they are served nice and crispy, other times they are warm and taste like they have been waiting for my burger under a hot-lamp.
If you are visiting - make a point to stop off here. It's a downtown landmark. If you are a local and have never been, what's stopping you?
