Ooh la la that was a good hamburger! A few people had mentioned to me that Steerburger (not to be confused with Mr. Steer's) made a mean hamburger and that I should try it when I got the chance. Well while in the Plateau looking for a good spot to grab a cheap, greasy lunch my friend and I came here to finally give it a go.
Walking into Steerburger is a bit like stepping back in time. The restaurant looks like it hasn't been updated since the 70s but I like that retro feel. The menu is exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon in that they have burgers, hot dogs, etc. There is also a breakfast menu but I didn't get around to trying that. It is definitely on the "To Try" list for future visits and believe me there will be those.
Of course I was here to try the burger so I ordered the Prime Burger trio and switched up the fries for a poutine which cost about an extra $4. The Prime Burger is a bacon cheeseburger and man was it ever delicious. It was dripping it was so juicy and the patty was fairly large. There were two thick slabs of bacon in it and they were mighty good. In fact writing this review has made my mouth water and has me craving another Prime burger now. The poutine was okay, not the best I have ever had but nothing terrible either. The fries were lacking a little crispness to them.
Now one mistake I made was to order the poutine in addition to the burger. The poutine is a huge serving and the burger is also pretty generous in size so it proved to be too much food even for someone like me who typically has a huge appetite. I think next time I would just get regular fries if I was planning on a burger.
Steerburger is cash only so be sure to make a pit stop at a ATM before coming here. That being said you won't need very much since prices are quite reasonable. My meal plus a soft drink came to about $14 tax included which isn't bad at all considering this is the Plateau and you do get A TON of food.
