| - I googled "best burger in Montreal" and came upon a couple reviews for this place. It was a sunny afternoon, so I thought why not go for long walk to work up an appetite for this place (I walked from St. Catherine/St. Laurent). It's totally an old school joint, doesn't look like the inside has been updated since whenever the place opened (70's?). I also didn't expect the server to be friendly since I didn't speak any French, but she was incredibly nice. She asked where I was from, how I found this place, and talked to me for a bit since I was alone.
Next she told me their special that day (Sunday) was the Primeburger, fries, and pop for $8! I did however order a beer instead (I deserved one after that walk, afterall). As you can see in the pictures, this burger ain't no regular sized burger. It's absolutely massive, the patty is thick, there's like 4-5 slices of bacon plus all the other fixin's (tomato, lettuce, onions, mayo). First thoughts: very big, greasy, and salty. I thought the saltiness was perhaps from the bacon, but I think it was from the meat. But nonetheless, this was a very tasty burger. I needed to cut this baby in half to eat it without destroying the bun. There was a lot of cheesy goodness as well. I didn't want the server to be disappointed in me, so I ate the entire thing. I barely touched my fries though.
I saw a few people ordering take-out for the Primeburger, so I think that's one of their best sellers.
Not sure if this would make it into my "best of" category, but it was sure tasty enough that I would go back if I were in the area.
(I then walked/waddled back to St. Catherine/St. Laurent afterwards to get rid of the guilt I had for eating the entire burger)
