Smart Burger

I am a little disappointed since they raised their prices for great-​OK to OK-​Pricey. We used to eat here a lot since it is very close to McGill and the quality of the food is great and also was the price. For about 9 – 10 $ you got a great burger+drink +brew fries/​chili/​yam fries NOW they raised the prices a meal is 12 – 13 $ (about 20−25% more) and for the good side dish like their amazing brew fries you pay an extra 1 $ so you pay more for lesser product or much more for the old deal. Why do I still go there? Their Teriyaki Veggie burger is the Superb and the Brew fries with their chili ketchup (you need to ask for it) is a great meal and sometimes tour just in a mood for that. I used to go at least once a week I guess now it will be once every 2 weeks. The make a long story short: Pricey but teal good.

I had an awesome experience. This place reminds me of 5 guys with the whole burger concept of adding any extra condiments without extra charge. It is definitely better than five guys! Their fries are totally different (beer battered), they have one of the best chilli’s I ever had. I’m surprised how this is just a franchise but offers quality chilli. I felt as if the beens were not canned. Maybe they cook in a special sauce hmmm All I can say is it’s Amazing!
This is where everything went wrong… the service was terrible!!! Not the cashier but the guy prepping my burger. omg he looked half asleep. Didn’t give a rats asss about anything. He looked so lazy and annoyed! He forgot to put the brie cheese in my brie burger??? -.- how can you forget that comon ??? He even forgot to put the standard garlic mayo and my ketchup which i requested! My burger was dry and unappetizing. He took about 15minutes to prep one burger he was so lost!
Thankfully, the cashier (Arishka) was there to guide him. She was such a sweetheart! Very patient very friendly got the entire job done! She even wanted to take over his job because he was so slow and didn’t know how to do anything or he did but he didnt seem to want to be there. She wanted to help him but he didn’t let her. It’s almost as if he was being slow on purpose.
Overall, food was ok. The chilli is SOO WORTH IT AND if it wasn’t for the chilli & the wonderful cashier I wouldn’t give this place a 4

My first time in Montréal and my first time eating here. The chili burger is phenomenal!!! The fries are delicious as well!
Staff was attentive and friendly and patient with me and my English/​horrible French
Can’t wait to come back!

Great burgers and even better fries. They have the best fries in downtown Montréal. Everything that they make is fresh and delicious even their salads!

For me, it’s five guys or Smart burger. No other burger place comes close. Five guys is juicier, but smart burger has some delicious burger combo flavours that the basic patty+cheese at five guys can’t beat — no matter how many other free toppings you add to it. My personal fave is the bourbon street burger (Carmalized onions, mushrooms, cheese, BBQ) with a side of onion scoops. If you’re going with a friend, do yourself a favour and have one person order onion scoops, and another order fries. The onion scoops are delicious! The fries are decent — nothing to write home about — but you get so few onion scoops you’ll be longingly looking at other people’s meals with a full container of fries that it’s better to get one of each.

Can’t believe I’m the first to review this on Unilocal.
This is a top contender for best burger in Montréal.
I’ve tried uniburger and five guys, but this is my fave.
Go when it’s busy and you will see them prepare the ground beef.
The meat has flavor and the toppings don’t overwhelm or clash with each other (like five guys).
They have 5 – 6 kinds of burgers, you can choose to have chicken breast instead of beef. And you can have a second patty for $ 3 and eat it separately as a steak.
A couple of letdowns and minor gripes
Not a fan of the bread.
When it’s quiet, the chicken and fries were barely warm, they should make it fresh instead of letting it sit there.
Aside from that, it’s great, nice décor and good location.
