O’Burger Le Resto

Tried the Bombay Veggie Burger and was delicious. Service was very fast around 12:00.
Very good value for its taste.

O’burger was a pretty decent burger place, as I came here for lunch with a bunch of co-​workers in the past. The place is pretty busy and finding a seat is rather difficult, so it’s best to try and make reservations ahead of time if you’re looking to bring a group in. The décor is great and the place looks very modern. I really liked the picture frames and retro style seating they have inside.
The food is pretty good and I usually get the Hawaii burger along with sweet potato fries or a poutine. I must say the burger is your standard, and is similar to something you would get at South Street Burger or Five Guys. The patty, seems to be previously frozen over freshly ground beef, but it tasted great regardless. The sweet potato fries are pretty good, but I do find them to be a bit on the soggy side at times. The poutine here is not bad as well, but compared to other poutines you can get around the city, it’s sub par.
Overall a decent place to go with co-​workers on a lunch, but I definitely think there are better places in Montréal for burgers.

Disappointing
Nothing wrong with the food, it’s nicely presented. I sincerely don’t get the hate, I’ve seen worse and more expensive at other places with less criticism.
And the fries are great (pro tip Montréal: mushy fries are a no-​no everywhere else)
But the service was not great. Yeah, we didn’t get the condiments, ok, someone else brought them later.
Then we got a wrong check for our table (it was even for less than we had), having that fixed, their card machine didn’t work properly. Yay.
Sorry, hard to recommend it.

Came here for lunch with great friends. We were here early so we were able to snag a seat. They had nice banquet seating with cute colour scheme in the basement. We were nice and comfy. The burgers were good. I had the Hawaii burger, which had a cunning mixture of blue cheese and caramelized nuts. It worked! Who knew? I also had it with a side of sweet potato fries. Yummy and tender patty, which works with the thickness of the burger overall. My friends had the salads and they really enjoyed it as well. Personally I think it is a sin to go to a burger place and order a salad but at least they have delish options.
When I am in Montréal and craving for burger this will be my go to place. Close to downtown core and easily accessible.

When I went there it was for a very late lunch, around 1PM, if not later. I was starving and craving a burger.
O’burger has a good selection of burgers and not just with beef. They also have salmon and chicken burgers. I’m a classic kind-​of-​gal when I discover a new restaurant so I opted for the O’Montréal with extra cheddar and BBQ sauce, and the O’Mix of fries.
I feel like it took O’forever to get our plates. Maybe it was because I was O’so hungry.
The burger was quite large. All burgers come with salad, tomatoes, onions and pickles and you can put whatever you want in it. It wasn’t as dry as I had a week ago at Les 3 brasseurs, but it was alright. The patty was bigger than the bun, which is a really big plus.
The O’mix of fries were not even. I had more sweet potato fries than regular fries, which is fine by me because the regular fries were not really good.
As for the price, well, I didn’t pay my own bill, because the waiter gave me my colleague’s. She paid my bill and I paid hers. It’s only after I realized that what I took didn’t cost me $ 19. She owed me $ 3.50 for the difference (tips included).
Conclusion: O’burger is O’kay. Nothing more. If I go back, I’ll try a chicken burger.

Went there after work with a friend yesterday,
We took a table outside since it was nice and breezy. Had a pitcher so white sangria, some chicken wings and fried calamari.
The food seems fine, the sangria was good though it could use more alcohol.
The batter for the calamari is very peppery and the calamari were tender and fresh. The fried chicken wing were a bit over fried and seemed dry but the sauce was really good so it was fine. The place closes at 9pm so no really a place you can linger and chat for long, but it’s a nice place to sit and rest if you’re downtown shopping.
Maybe I’ll try a burger next time lol

We had just arrived in Montréal and were famished. After walking around for an hour, and realizing that most of the spots in the central district were overpriced and unappealing, we finally capitulated and ate here.
As others have mentioned the food was okay. The veggie burger was fine, a little burnt, but otherwise edible. The hummus topping, though seemingly an odd combo, actually alleviated the burnt taste of the burger. My boyfriend had a chicken salad which was decent, but quite costly in my opinion ($ 13). These two orders along with a pitcher of diluted Sangria (I kept asking «Is there even any hooch in this?») set us back about $ 50 dollars.
I doubt we will ever visit this place again, but I suppose it is a good alternative to some of the other tourist traps in the area, and likely better because of the outdoor seating in the summer.

I work very near this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Walking in, the décor is nice and clean (comfortable chairs), and you realize just how small this restaurant is. However, most people would be eating out on the terasse anyways. Service is a bit slow for a burger place. I ordered a simple hamburger with mixed fries. Overall, the burger was not bad. However, for the price I was paying for it, I was just expecting something more. The beef patty tasted like something out of Harvery’s (right consistency and juiciness, but absolutely no flavour). The fries themselves were great. What is great about this place is that they do serve alcohol. So, if you’re looking for a place to hangout to drink and eat okay food with a bunch of buddies after work during summer out on a terasse, this place is great. If your a burger enthusiast, I would not recommend this place.

Mon copain me vantait souvent les mérites de ce resto (bizarrement, il dit aimer leurs salades). J’y suis allée pour la première fois mardi soir et l’expérience, sans être déplaisante, né m’a pas enchantée outré mesure. O’Burger est un restaurant correct, sans plus.
J’ai pris le O’Burger, un hamburger assaisonné de sauce, bacon, fromage suisse, oignons caramélisés et champignon sautés. J’ai bien aimé mon (énorme!) burger.
J’ai demandé un accompagnement de guacamole pour agrémenter le tout. Pour 1 $, on m’a apporté un itsy-​bitsy-​tiny-​mini contenant de guacamole et étrangement, celle-​ci était un peu huileuse.
Suite à une recommandation de mon chum, j’ai aussi opté pour les frites de patate douce qui n’étaient pas mauvaises, mais pas les meilleures non plus. Et un peu trop tièdes.
Le design intérieur m’a plu: jolis fauteuils confortables, décor général bien pensé.
Quant au service, il variait dans l’ensemble. Par moments, notre serveur n’avait pas l’air trop heureux de travailler.
Je vais sans doute y retourner pour essayer autre chose au menu, mais ce resto né fera sans doute pas partie de ma liste d’endroits à privilégier.

The patties are frozen store patties — that’s a big no no for me when I’m paying more than what I would pay at Mc’Donalds or Wendy’s. They’re not even good frozen patties either! They’re bland mixed with more bland!
The seasoning needs a lot work as well, guess what? It’s also pretty bland.
I did what I always do when going to rate food, I follow it up with a mass produced version of what I had.
So, I had a Quarter Pounder brought it home and added the ingredients that were missing.
The QP was much better and it was 7 dollars!

In 3 words: Not worth it.
The patties were store bought and the price, outlandish considering. Honestly, you may as well go across the street to the 5 Guys.

Endroit sympathique ambiance calme quand on souhaite ce détendre un peu, déco sympas, serveuse accueillante, bonne cuisine pour ma part j’avais pris le boston qui était excellent.
Bön on a tourné trois fois dans l’avenue avant de le trouver mais sans regrets =-p

Despite other reviews, I enjoyed my overall experience there! Sat outside in the nice weather, waiter was nice and the food was pretty good. The best I had but still satisfying.
Great location too!

Went there for lunch, contrary to other reviews, the place was packed !!!
Our waitress was overwhelmed but still pleasant, it took 45 min to get our burgers. Tasted ok (I had the Dallas), fries were disapointing. The place seemed understaffed, our waitress had to tend to the cash while trying to get customer orders to the tables. Also the fact that the kitchen is in the basement might explain why it takes so long to get your food!!!
Will not be going back, no way !!!

The place was ok. The burger ok. The fries ok. Not more, not less.
A bit disappointed, but if you are downtown and need to eat in a fast and «not really healthy» place, I would suggest O’Burger.

both my boyfriend and I were impressed with our burgers, but, the service was less than stellar. The waitress and waiter seemed very unhappy to be working. The ambiance was WAY too quiet and the restaurant is so narrow it’s awkward. Most likely will not eat there again.

Je pourrais faire la même critique pour O’Burger que pour M: BRGR (dont j’ai déjà fait la critique), mais il y a deux différences: 1) la bouffe est moins bonne au O’Burger; et 2) les serveuses sont plus belles au O’ Burger. Match nul. Trois étoiles, autrement dit correct, mais rien pour s’énerver.

I would give this place less than one star if that were an option.
My husband and I were there on the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend this year for the first time. We had a friend in from out of town and were eager to share a great dining experience with her. We should have checked this place first. I work nearby and had noticed it’s busy at lunch so assumed we would be served some great burgers.
We weren’t. They were way overpriced pieces of cardboard between buns. I’ve seriously had better burgers at Harvey’s.
The service was horrible. My husband asked for mayonnaise for his fries as soon as our plates were delivered. You know when he got it? AFTER OUR PLATES WERE CLEARED FROM THE TABLE!!! No one came to check on us while we ate and we would have flagged someone down if we could but there was no one to be seen anywhere.
This past weekend (a month later), we went to Cheeburger Cheeburger, just a block or two away on Metcalfe and had a waaaaaaay better experience for a similar price. The food was great and so was the service.
The thing that makes me the angriest about the O’Burger experience is that as soon as I got home that day, I sent them an email to express my concerns. I once worked in the industry and knew that was the way to go about it. It is the first time I have sent such a letter and have NOT received a word back. These people clearly don’t care about my business and it’s a good thing because they won’t have it again and I’m here to tell you not to waste your time and money. The worst eating experience I’ve had in Montréal in seven years. Hands down.

Un réel plaisir que d’avoir trouvé cet endroit en plein coeur de downtown Montréal !
Je me suis retrouvée ici un midi, une chaude journée de fin de printemps, sans réservation. Une table pour deux nous a été donnée assez rapidement (5 – 10 minutes) considérant que la terrasse était plein à craquer.
J’ai commandé le burger Dallas avec un à-​côté de frites mixtes (patates sucrées et patates jaunes) avec un si rafraichissant Coke (bon, ok, je né fais pas de pub pour Coca-​Cola… c’est que j’en suis accro !!). Mm mm mm, dé-​li-​ci-​eux !
J’avais évidemment lu le review de Dave I. (
) et j’appréhendais le pire, i.e.: un burger qui goûte le carton et des frites McCain. Pour avoir déjà été au O’Burger de DDO (boul. Saint-​Jean), je connaissais un peu le concept — soit un hybride entre le burger customizé et un fast food.
Conclusion: j’ai effectivement été agréablement surprise. J’ai bien aimé mon burger ! Comme Dave, j’ai beaucoup aimé le pain (très frais et différent de l’habituel). Par contre, j’ai aussi aimé ma boulette de viande; elle n’avait peut-​être pas l’apparence d’une homemade, mais elle était juteuse (pas dégoulinante) et bien assaisonnée. J’ai aussi vraiment été ravie de mes frites «O’Mix»; pour la première ai-​je vraiment aimé les frites de patates douces. Elles étaient légères et croustillantes. Idem pour les frites régulières.
Du fait que j’y suis allée sur l’heure du lunch, je crois qu’il en vaille la peine de souligner que de luncher assis et se faire servir dans un resto (dehors sur une belle terrasse aux soleil, en plus !), être bien servi et bien manger, tout ça pour moins de 20 $ (taxes et tip inclus), cela se fait plutôt rare ces temps-​ci… et cela m’a bien plus ici !
Les seuls deux petits points plutôt négatifs de cette première visite (et certainement pas la dernière) chez O’Burger sur McGill sont ceux-​ci: A) le manqué de sauce dans mon sandwich (quoique cela laissait toute la place au goût de la boulette) et B) l’oubli de nous apporter la facture à la fin ce qui nous a retardés de 15 minutes (mais bon, ceci est forcément dû au fait que le resto roulait à plus que pleine capacité… je né m’en plaindrai pas plus qu’il faut pour l’instant puisque cela m’a permis de profiter d’un peu plus de soleil sur mon heure de lunch).
O’Burger, je te donne un 4 étoiles. À bientôt, en espérant être aussi ravie que cette fois-​ci ! ;-)

As a foodie (sadly on a budget) I’m willing and ready to pay astronomical amounts of my cashola in order to enjoy whatever food-​dragon I chase. There’s no price I won’t pay for the ultimate steak experience, and I won’t choke on paying over 50 $ for a burger, yes a burger. But the pleasure experience better have me bleeding from my eyes before I pass out.
And since the burger craze has taken over Montréal I have yet to find one of these joints that can even stand next to my expectations of what a good burger is. All they are is some business man with no knowledge of what good food is starting a stylish hipster-​bait restaurant that is all about form over function. O’ Burger is no different. You walk in and it’s the poor-hipster’s version of an ultra trendy restaurant that serves Burgers and Fries. And that’s what O’Burger is doing, cashing in on a trend and it’s places like O’Burger that will kill the trend.
The reception was warm and friendly as was the service, also expedient. O’Burger offers a good variety of burgers, but the template remains the same from burger to burger, that it the meat, the bun and the garden. They offer fries and Poutine of course. So I had the Dallas Burger. Typical interpretation of the Texan burger, that’s Jack cheese, some Creole sauce… wait what? Creole? Yeah and it wasn’t spicy, not even tangy, not even mustard tangy. Crunchy bacon? Huh, ehhhh, where? Cus I didn’t have any bacon in mine. Caramelized onions my ass. The bun was the hit. Most trendy burger joint have dried crackly buns but here it’s soft and moist.
The meat… is epic facepalm worthy. This patty had nothing resembling fresh or hand prepared. It’s the same patty I see in every hipster burger joint. Barely had a beefy taste because of all the filler compacted into a flower shaped patty. This patty was produced by a machine in a factory somewhere, where it was flash frozen.
How about that poutine? How about more frozen foods? There’s no way those were fresh cut and they tasted even synthetic, so who knows what chemical treatment they endured at the plant. No amount of gravy, cheese, bacon and those ridiculous caramelized onion could hide the horrible taste of those fries. Gravy wasn’t even good.
In my book if I don’t need at least 3 or 4 napkins to eat a burger, then it’s not a good burger. Sure it was pretty but it was bad, so bad a Big Mac would have been a better option. If your restaurant is named O’ Burger shouldn’t your burger blow people away? I’d prefer having my greasy burger at La Belle Province than eat that bland boring piece of crap I was served.
How hard is it to go to a butcher, get your chuck FRESH and make the patties as you go? How hard is it to hand cut fries and fry them in good oil? Well it doesn’t matter to the owner, he just wants to cash in on the trend and when O’ Burger crashes with the trend, he’ll open another restaurant cashing in on the current trend of that day. It’s not a passion for food; it’s a passion for profit.
O’Burger how thou sucketh. It’s no wonder I was the only patron in the restaurant.
