QDC Burger

Best burger I can remember ever having. The mob burger is a must get. Also the poutine is solid too

Burger used to be decent when they were located in the back alley. Now that it has been integrated in the queue de cheval menu, it is terrible. The burger is dry and tasteless. There is no lettuce or tomato or onions… All drenched in mayonnaise. So many good burgers downtown for same or lower price. Stay away.
Positive notes: décor and service are good.

Best burger in town by far. These are not your ordinary beef patties, this is quality meat and quality ingredients they use for toppings. No one even comes close. If you like burgers, this is the best place in the city by a long shot.

I was looking forward to getting my burger fix. I still need my burger fix :(mediocre 10 $ burger. The same if it was 5 $. I had the chef’s burger with Lettuce, tomato and pickle. I’m about the burger not the dressing. To make a long rant shorter… «Meh» not worth the money and didn’t satisfy the craving for a burger.

Three stars for the exception well service! Burger was bad
When we got there, we found it that the take out window was closed and it is now served in queue de Cheval restaurant.
The service was so attentive!
However, I got the pepperoni burger, it was super salty, I couldn’t even finish half of it. Ad the onion ring was really odd, really big.
I wouldn’t go back for the burger, but maybe for the steak at Queue de Cheval

This review is going to be short, but, accurate ;).
A definite must have burger! The meat itself is so flavourful that once the burger was 75% eaten, I came to realization that I haven’t even put a drop of condiment! And I’m usually a ketchup queen!
And the shortrib poutine was out of this world! Just mouth-​dropping, insanely good! This place has earned its crown with me as the best burger in town!
I was expecting the food to be salty, but, nope! Well done! *thumbs up

Thanks to fellow Unilocaler Diana C. for tipping us off to this back alley burger haven. Yes it is a little sketchy, you feel like you might get jumped but in the light of day it’s not nearly that intimidating.
We ordered the onion rings, 3 in total, so savor each bite. They were good though. Crispy enough, savory.
I ordered the surf and turf, which was phenomenal. 4 huge shrimps served under a delicious beef patty and grilled onions. There was also arugula, a garlic aioli sauce and zesty tomato chutney. Even the bun was delicious. Not an afterthought but rather it held its own.
My husband customized his burger which was equally good though I was partial to the one I ordered.
Definitely a no frills kind of place. For me not quite a five star place. There was a bench for seating but not much else which normally wouldn’t be a problem except the burgers are super juicy and super messy. Definitely not a place you want to go on a first or second date because you can’t eat these burgers gracefully. A tip for the ladies, bring a hair tie because there’s an alley wind that will make it hard to keep the hair out of your way.
The burgers are wrapped in paper and it would have been nice if there was some sort of plate or carton to eat it out of. But now I’m just being picky I guess.

Surprised that this place had so many ravishing reviews. We had a lot of expectations from this place but we were greatly disappointed by the taste of the burgers.
I had the Surf n Turf Burger ($ 15.99+tax) which had ½lb steak patty and shrimp. I found the burger to be extremely dry for my taste. It had no cheese or sauce and literally tasted like bunch of fried protein in a salt. No flavour whatsoever. And the bun was so dry that the ceiling of my mouth is chaffed.
We also had Poutine with Short Ribs.($ 9.00+tax) which was extremely salty to say the least. If there’s anything like a bad combination of ingredients, this would be it.
My boyfriend ordered a «make your own» which didn’t work out for him as well but since wasn’t QDC’s own recipe, can’t say much about it. The bun was dry obviously.
I also wanted water so they gave me a tiny, liliput sized EVIAN water bottle which cost $ 3.50+tax.
All in all we ended up spending around $ 30 each including tips which is so NOT worth it for a place like this. Especially since Montréal has a lot of nice Burger joints. The only thing I liked about this place was its shack-​like ambience but they have truly horrible food quality!

Where do I start?!?
This place blew my mind and my tastebuds!!!
I have so far just tried three burgers and they are all the best burgers I have ever had! The quality is unbeatable and for such reasonable prices!
The service is also great! The guys working here are friendly, polite and so efficient!
A MUST TRY while in Montréal!

The burger was like heaven in your mouth!
If you’re in Montréal this is a must check out place, only here do they do high end burgers in a back alley and do it so well.
Cheeseburger was awesome and the poutine was good.
If you need a snack before your late night dinner reservation in Montréal, then I suggest coming here for a quick bite.

Wow the burger was amazing! First off I had 4 people in front and still received my burger in under 15minutes. When I first got it the wrapper was nice and warm from the toasty buns and the I didn’t add any basic condiments… obviously! I put extra garlic aioli:) then first bite juice dripping but not to much. Meat bursting with flavour and the caramelized onions with the pork belly! Not to thick just perfect! Just add a dr. pepper to that and you’ll be good! I had the lefty! You will not be disappointment. Also had the onions rings very good I would have rather had smaller ones but still amazing! Thank you! Next time adding that black truffle.

If I could give a zero star review I would give it. Let’s not even talk about ambience because this place isn’t meant to have any. You are literally eating in a parking lot on a bench. It’s okay. I can handle that, it is part of the «charm».
We had tickets to a show at 8pm. We arrived at 6:45, we ordered by 7:00. That is, at 7:00pm we handed a guy at the cash 7 pieces of paper with 7 names and 7 SIMPLE orders! At 7:00pm we paid $ 120 for 7 burgers, 1 poutine, 2 fries and 7 drinks. Now the money isn’t an issue because of the food is good, I’m okay paying a higher price. I mean just because you are eating in an alley doesn’t mean the food should taste like it came from a dumpster right?
Around 7:30 we are starting to get frustrated. Literally no orders are coming out. We went up to the window numerous times to get an ETA and we get no response. Finally they give us 6 burgers (apparently of their choosing because it certainly wasn’t what we ordered and they shorted us one), 1 fry, and a poutine. Now I go to the window and give them back 3 incorrect burgers and explain that my burgers are wrong and missing. Manager asks what’s missing. I tell him. They start making my burger and the manager goes out to talk to his friend who shows up at 7:45 wanting a meal! The line cook asks what I want, I tell him (although I just told the manager), then another line guy asks what I want. As I’m explaining what I want the manager yells out to his cooks «I need these 2 burgers ASAP»! Guess what? He wasn’t talking about MY burgers he was talking about his friends burgers!!! At this point it is nearly 8pm, there are dozens of people waiting for their food and the manager wants to pass his friend in front of me? A cook asks «where do I start» and I yell out «with my 3 missing burgers» and I gave my order for the umpteenth time that night.
At 7:55 I am shovelling a burger in my mouth. Somehow even after saying my order as the guy is making it, it’s still wrong! It’s dry, the bun is over cooked and the entire thing tastes like what I imagine rank ass to taste like. Into the garbage it went as I walked to the Bell Center. Hell, who needs a comedy show when you can just watch QDC fail miserably under pressure.
$ 120 for an hour long wait, horrible and dry burgers that came all wrong. Next time McDonalds before a show because this place was a huge let down! I still can’t get over the fact that while there are angry, frustrated, hungry and paying customers who have been waiting for an hour at at your window complaining a MANAGER shouts out that his friend’s order has priority! No thanks. I would have asked for a refund but I doubt the manager would be able to figure out how to do that either.

Pizza, shrimp, brisket–
All can be on your burger–
Eat livin the dream.
Every single burger is delicious and different and amazing. You can’t go wrong.
The poutine and the fries were the best I had in Montréal.
The ambiance… well… It’s more like a place you would get mugged while hiding the fact that you’re stuffing a giant delicious burger in your face right after your crossfit workout.
I was only sad that I didn’t get to eat here twice.

Even if the burger I received was not dry, overcooked, and tasteless, and even if I was able to receive my full order instead of only getting one out of four items ordered after waiting for forty minutes, and EVEN IF I was able to get a full refund for the food I ultimately had no more time to wait for instead of getting ripped off by a penny pinching manager — nothing on earth could save this place from the abysmal service we received.
It’s rare that service actually enrages me, but this happened here. It’s not that staff are incompetent either; they simply lack any sense of consideration, tact or customer service. We watched as dozens of other customers waited around, frustrated, that no one was even trying to get orders out to them. As we waited for our refund we actually found out our burgers were just sitting there, and no one had thought to serve them to us. As soon as the guy who took our order saw we were getting a refund from the manager, he demanded «You don’t want em?» and immediately called his friend over to take them off his hands. Classy.
It’s no wonder this is a «hidden» burger joint — if it were better, people might actually care enough to talk about it. QDC should be ashamed to that this is what their name is attached to these days.

The burger patty is over-​spiced that it masks all other flavors. The burger is very messy and difficult to handle.

Yum
Quick easy and delish
The window staff are funny personable and adorable.
Very helpful suggestions.
Bun is crazy good! Crazy!
Check it out you won’t be disappointed

Seriously, this place is legit! We shared five burgers, two fries, and poutine between eight people and it was fatty nirvana.
The restaurant is a walk up concept with benches and squatty tables all lined up outside the storefront. Beautiful!
I can’t really make a recommendation because I’m convinced every burger option is excellent. Count on it being a little messy, beautifully dressed, and topped with atypical extras like fried eggs, shrimp, and pork belly.
For lunch or dinner or fatty snack, QDC is a must stop for those traveling in Montréal.

Located behind Queue de Cheval this is the «kids’ table» version of its more upscale predecessor. You’ll barely find this burger bar and only because of the EDM blasting into a backstreet alley… doesn’t get anymore hipster than this. You can even dine right next to the dumpster to channel your inner hobo-​chic.
You order off a paper menu with golf-​pencil sized pencils (they’re not actual golf pencils)… Mostly out of necessity since you can’t really hear anything at the counter from the speakers blasting the EDM. But that’s just all part of the fun! Once you’re done soaking in the experience and get over the fact that you’re in a backstreet alley basically in a parking lot, you can get to the food… Steakhouse quality meats without the sticker shock!
Don’t be fooled by its bare bones concept, this burger bar hosts a robust menu with very enticing burger selections. They also offer poutine and non beef options such as chicken, ahi tuna and salmon burgers. I opted for the ahi tuna burger which came with a generous piece of ahi tuna topped with seaweed salad, cucumber, tomato chutney, mushrooms and wasabi aioli (which I skipped since I have hypersensitive tatste buds). This was a solid option– a huge chunk of ahi tuna with the perfect blend of toppings (I admit, I’m a sucker for seaweed salad).
My husband had the Jefferson– a burger topped with short rib and an egg! (oh yea and sautéed mushrooms, cheese and Bearnaise). How is that even possible? It’s probably only legal in Canada, so if you find yourself in Canada, don’t miss out on it! The sound that came out of my husband’s mouth after the first bite was pure bliss!
We paired all of this with poutine– not the best I’ve had but it hit the spot. This will definitely make our list of «Musts in Montréal». And I echo the sentiment: thought of not reviewing just to keep it under wraps (or hidden in a dark alley in this case).

Tu sais, quand tu as faim avant d’aller au cinéma, mais qu’il né te reste que 20 minutes pour manger. Quand tu sors du bar le vendredi à 3AM, et que tout est fermé sauf ton estomac qui est bel et bien éveillé. Il fait un gros soleil et tu n’as pas envie de t’enfermer à l’intérieur pour luncher en faisant ton shopping? Ou tout simplement, tu veux un burger? Histoire de bien saturer ton estomac, rends-​toi dans le parking du Queue de Cheval et fait connaissance avec les burgers les plus décadents de l’histoire. Le concept est parfait: T’as un trou dans un mur, avec un caissier et un cuisinier, et ils te donnent le choix de construire ton burger selon tes envies ou de savourer l’une de leurs créations. Le pain est étampé du logo du restaurant, la boulette est plus grosse que ta main, et la qualité de la viande est incomparable. Le side de frites, partage-​le à deux, parce que je te promets que tu auras pas assez faim. Dès la première bouchée, c’est sale, pire que de manger du Subway: Si tu veux faire bonne impression durant une date, tu vas pas là. De toute façon y’a pas de place pour des chandelles au centre des (inexistantes) tables. Tu es dehors, y’a des bancs et du purel, parce que tu es assuré de finir ton burger avec le visage peinturé par les condiments et les doigts dégoulinants de bonheur.

Had The Mob burger — pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms, mozzarella, Spicy harissa tomato sauce and truffle oil. Wow far from your traditional burger but a must try. Fries were excellent as well

I almost don’t want to write this review as I don’t want all of your cramming up my place, but here goes: So head on down the alley on de la Montagne street, between St Catherine and Rene Levesque, and behold what are some of the best burgers I have ever had! Great music is always playing, there are benches to sit on and the guys making up your food are so much fun and super helpful as the choices can be a tad overwhelming.
This hole in the wall is run by the guys behind the restaurant Queue de Cheval, so you know that the meat is gonna be good; I however, had the salmon burger here, and it is TO DIE FOR and the fries are cooked to perfection and the milkshakes are super yummy as well with rotating specials.
The burgers are huge, messy, and come with all sorts of toppings (hello, sunny side up egg!)…they even provide hand sanitizer as they know that you’re paws are gonna be a mess. Your mama may have told you that alleys are dangerous, but this one is well worth taking a stroll down.
