We had dinner in this place in a nice little street quite central in Montreal.
The place is nice, we were on the second floor and the service was quick and friendly.
We got two excellent hamburger sandwiches, among the best eaten in North America.
Normal chips (Canadian style, i.e. they look half-burned, but it's just appearance, like the ones they put in Poutine).
The beer is good.
The price is in line with that of the surrounding places and therefore on average high, as in almost all Canadian restaurants, with the exception of the simple hamburger (without bread, sauces, condiments etc.) taken for our daughter which they only charged us for Canadian dollars... incredible, but true, but less than 3 euros for a hamburger that is still delicious and more than enough to feed a little girl.

What a surprise! First night in Montreal and we actually thought we might try to find some French food. However, we became discouraged after walking several streets and came upon this place. It was a lovely September night and they had open seats outside. After a quick look at the menu, we agreed it would be worth a try. We figured burgers and a salad can’t be too exciting. We were wrong. It was great!
He had a bleu burger that was easily 4-5 inches tall. Huge basket of fries came with it. He couldn’t finish them!
I had the samurai salad, which is a seared salmon, wasabi, mayo, ginger atop a huge serving of lovey greens. It was so big I couldn’t finish it all. He asked when was the last time I saw that happen? LOL!
Single server, but boy was he on top of things. Only complaint was the cost of a casually requested glass of wine was almost as much as my entree. Read the menu is that lesson. Otherwise, delightful surprise!

We stopped in for dinner on a weeknight during a recent trip to Montreal based on the recommendation of a friend. We were not disappointed! There was a very large group and the hostess warned us that while we could be seated we might have to wait quite awhile to place a food order. We appreciated the warning, but decided we would take our chances and were seated outside.
Our server was friendly and attentive. She was able to take our food order pretty quickly and we ended up not having to wait long at all (though we did still appreciate the warning given up front). I had the Chix Dig It sandwich which was delicious. Two others in the group had Mac & Cheese which was one of the best versions I've ever had at a restaurant. While I didn't try the burgers that others in my group had, they were very happy with their choice. We all enjoyed the food so much we almost returned a second night during our trip! Though we didn't, we will definitely be back next time we're in Montreal.

No refills! The Keg which is a fine dining steakhouse offers free refills, here in a fast food burger restaurant they don’t. Well, It’s no problem if it was a 355ml can but it’s on tap and they will bring you a glass more than half of it ice so you’ll have to ask for another one. I ordered The bison mushroom burger and it wasn’t good.

we fell back on the Burger bar following the poor treatment suffered from an Italian restaurant not far away. Well we took it, it would have been a shame to miss this address!
The burger menu is rich (but also offers choices for those who want to eat lighter), we don't know where to turn.
The burgers themselves are tasty, original and generous (not to mention enormous, a plate fits a large size, the bravest will tackle the equally generous desserts). all served with a smile in a friendly atmosphere.
Without doubt the best Burger restaurant we visited during our stay in Canada.

I consider myself a burger connoisseur, and I have eaten at some outstanding burger places around the world that claim that they have the best burger. I was very impressed with the burger at Burger Bar, that I ended up eating here twice during my week long stay in Montreal. This goes against my principle of dining at a restaurant twice, as the allure of recreating the first experience never happens.
First Burger: I had the Jack Daniel's BBQ Burger ($19.95) and upgraded to a side of poutine ($4.95), the burger was super delicious and difficult to put back on the plate after just one bit. The Classic Poutine was really good, and now I can say I had poutine in Quebec.
Burger: 10/10
Poutine: 9/10
Second Burger: I ordered the Supersonic Burger ($19.95) with coleslaw and a coke. The burger was really good but not as good as the last time. I found the Coleslaw with a mustard base was just average tasting, and I didn’t even finish it.
Burger: 8/10
Coleslaw: 5/10

It specializes in burgers and they don’t disappoint at the Burger Bar. Juicy and tasty, served on a thick bun with lots of toppings - it’s one to cut in half so it doesn’t fall apart. The fries were fresh, hot and had a softer/potato-y consistency (rather than crisp/fried).

We ate on the 'patio' on Crescent St. Our server was friendly, helpful and provided excellent service. When the burgers finally arrived they were very good.
This is the second time we have visited and both times what has prevented 5 stars is the 45 mins to an hour we have had to wait for our order. The young lady serving us didn't stop working with her tables for a second. The problem lies in the kitchen. Even then I would suggest that they too are working their 'tails' off but are understaffed. Management, if you read this three strikes and you are OUT. You aren't the only burger place in town.

A burger restaurant located on Crescent Street, opposite Leonard Cohen's mural. A Big Boi burger and a Hangover (a mind-blowing mix of burger and poutine). All well fed, it was gouling. Simple and nice service. A big 60€ to 2 with drinks.

My husband and I arrived in Montreal in the rain and ran inside here for cover and a burger. It was a double patty with lots of toppings depending on what you like. I asked for goat cheese which they gladly arranged. The cocktails were fun with cute names and my hubby had a beer. It was unexpectedly delicious and easy to miss in it’s pub like atmosphere. Give it a go if you’re in the mood for a great burger and fries! Mine came with an onion ring too!

Great food, cold beer, great atmosphere and friendly service at a good price. I don't know what more you could ask for. The smoked meat had really good flavor. I would definitely go there again.

Small-medium burger joint with a couple of screens with sport on. Big menu with poutine, wings, nachos and salads, and of course burgers. Offer standard beef, smash and bison in variety of styles. Loads of sauces. Burgers very tasty - $20-30 Canadian. Skin on french fries a little greasy and bland for me. Staff friendly.

I went for the Big Boi burger (two 6 oz AAA beef patties topped with American cheese, smoked bacon, pickles, red onion, ketchup & mustard), and boy, it was good. The patty was so juicy and tasty. They even have their own lager (Burger Bar Blonde) from the tap.
