Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood

First let’s understand the context of why 5 stars. This is based on the fact that it’s trying to be a simple and focused burger and fry diner like non nonsense eclectic restaurant. Atmosphere hits the point perfectly. Seating is not as inviting as dining, but it’s fun and probably more comfortable when it’s not so hot in a the sweltering heat of a Montreal summer. Place to as clean though I didn’t see the washroom. Menu is simple and focused. They say what they mean and mean what they say when they offer you what’s available to eat. Service is basically wait in a (often long) line that wraps around the perimeter of the interior and then state what you wish to order. So it’s as fast as the line is. This being stated once the order is placed it’s done within less than 5 minutes. Overall the food appears and tasted fresh, the bun had a perfect ratio to meat and contents on the burger, the bun was not a overdone “brioche” or some BS bin, just a simple fresh and delicious bun that is not toasted to allow the ingredients flavours standout more. Toppings are fresh and limited which makes it simple to order. The portion for the price was competitive however the fries were served in a low level (and hat appears like a cut half way French fry bag) and it cheapened the appearance. Moreover the portion was too small, as fries are the second most profitable after beverages it’s not a big deal to add a heaping portion versus one that is essentially just about level. I also believe that they are better off to offer two sized fries and then a family package. The $4.00 is very much a small fry, then a large for $7.00 to which would be a full sized bag (or twice the portion) and then a large at $12.00 or so high could be twice the large size. The positive side is the fries are cooked to perfection. Not quite think sticks but twice fried, one for interior fluffy potato and a second at higher temp for a light crisp and an exterior. This is a perfect julienne French fry. We had a side of sauce to dip the fries in and the sauce seemed home made - maybe not, but the taste and texture was spot on and I could have guzzled the liquid like a hot toddy. All in all, not cheap (but what is these days), but well worth the effort to come out this way and enjoy a great burger and fries. If this restaurant decides to franchise all the well knows burger restaurant in the city have a lot to be scared of as this place blows all the others out of the water hands down!

Space is small but there is ample seating when I arrived there on Saturday afternoon. I got the Cali burger and Ol” Dirty Fries. They were tasty, satisfying and very filling. It would be even better if the loaded fries had meat in it and if there was more sauce. The fries are soft and they look homemade. If you are not a fan of soft fries, I would recommend not getting it.

The Cali burger was delicious burger , I feel like the hype around it made me expect a wow factor when I bit into it , but it was just a delicious smash burger . The Ol dirty fries flavour was delicious almost like McDonald’s but better , I just wish the fries were better . But all in all a good price point and a tasty burger .

Really like this place , their poutine and dirty fries are fantastic. The smash burgers while a tad on the small side ( even though it was a double ) is excellent. Really love all the 80's and 90's memorabilia all over the walls

I love hole in the wall restaurants and this fits the bill. Its actually downstairs and not a hole. I love all the posters down the stairs and on the walls. It brought back memories of all the movies I used to watched. The menu has 2 choices of smashburgers and fries. I love that its not complicated!! So we got the Happy and the Cali smashburgers. They were both delicious!You have to try 'Ol' dirty fries. The fries were crispy and then you mix in the cheese sauce with the other ingredients and its amazing. The staff were so nice and so funny. Definitely coming back!!

MDMH had the tastiest burgers! Seriously, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. It was really flavourful and the buns were so soft. My favourite part was the crispy edges on the patty! It’s not often you come across a smash burger that perfects the crispy edges. The wait in line was very long and we realized we could order online. The estimated online wait was 20 minutes but we waited 30 and got a message saying our order was ready but when we came in, the girl said 10 more minutes. After 10 minutes, she said another 3 minutes. The constant waiting and inaccurate time was the frustrating part. I’d come back again (but will be better prepared for the wait next time)

The burgers and fries are amazing . It is a shame though that one cannot have the alternative to coke called salaam cola . As coke is on the BDS list and supports financially an army committing a genocide.

This is a great place for smash burgers. We got the Cali burger, the ol’ dirty fries, and the poutine. The service was great. The place gets crowded fast (we went at lunch time). The burgers: The cali burger was good and on the smaller side. Although, if you take a side you will have more than enough. We highly reccomend getting the Bacon jam extra as it truly élevâtes the taste of it. The sides: The ol’ dirty fries are good with the onions and the pickles. The sauce is somewhat similar to a big Mac sauce. Personally, I found it a bit blend which is my only disappointment with it. The poutine is good. Good radio of cheese curds/fries/gravy. The portion is generous. This was a good eat but I wouldn’t necessarily come often.

One of the best poutine in Montréal imo. The fries even though they're julienne are very good, cheese curd is fresh and i really like their sauce, it's ordinary brown sauce but with a little je ne sais quoi maybe another ingredient that makes it better. Better to take it to go cause there's not lots of spaces inside. Don't expect much inside it's like a cafétéria and you have to wait in line to pay and then wait for your name to be called to have your order, but food is excellent ! But in the summer must be even better cause you can eat outside as there's a couple of tables. Their smash burgers seems excellent so I'll try it next time. Une des meilleure poutine à Montréal à mon avis. Les frites même si elles sont juliennes sont excellentes car elles sont faites maison. Et j'aime vraiment leurs sauce, sauce brune mais avec un je ne sais quoi qui la rende meilleure. C'est vraiment mieux de prendre pour emporter parce il n y a pas beaucoup de place à l'intérieur. Ne boud attendez pas à une belle décoration, c'est comme une cafétéria, il n y a pas de service et il faut faire la file pour payer avant que vous soyez appelé pour recevoir votre commande. Mais la bouffe est excellente ! Mais l'été l'expérience doit être encore mieux car vous pouvez manger à l'extérieur car il y a 2 tables de disponibles. Leurs smash burgers semblent excellent, et c'est que j'essaierai la prochaine fois.

Heard a lot about this place and their smash burgers! This place has a ton of interesting soda options - from Jarritos to even various Pokemon sodas! Looking through the fridges to find the perfect accompaniment to your smash burger adds to the experience! It's also decorated super trendy and retro, kind of like an old diner/arcade of some sort. There are large tables with high chairs rather than individual small tables. I'm a big fan of the vibe here! The smash burger was great, one of the most picturesque burgers I have ever seen. The poutine was good too, however while I was eating I bit into some piece of charcoal or rock that kind of ruined my appetite. Accidents totally happen and they were happy to remake it for me, so it was not a problem at all. Overall, it's a great place to eat with friends and talk over some food!

A bit off the beaten path that was totally worth it! We saw this pop up on a few lists of Montreal and had to check it out. Was a bit apprehensive walking up and down the steep steps but quickly we were home. Greeted by a very friendly cashier upfront and a simple menu. We got a combo of the regular and Cali burger with fries and cheesy fries. Everything just hit the spot and was phenomenal. Similar taste to in/out but better. It is such a unique location in a basement with eclectic decoration. The whole time we enjoyed some great 90's R&B. A must try!

Casse croute tres sympathique reconnu pour ces smash burger. Look underground ca fait effectivement dans mon Hood. En effet le llok du resto est vraiment bien o pourrais passer des heures a lire toutes les petites affiches colés au murs.des flahback des années 50 des premier drive inn au tendances d'aujourd'hui dans le monde de la rue. Rentrons dans le vif du sujet. Leurs 2 smash burger sont vraiment hot. Ils ont 2 versions le Happy et le Cali et cest exactement se que je m'attend d'un smash burger. Jai gouté aussi a leurs frite au gout unique légèrement epicè BBQ. FÉLICITATION A L'ÉQUIPE

If I could, I'd come here monthly and the only reason I wouldn't come more frequently is for the sake of my waistline. We got the poutine and Cali burger. Only reason we shared a burger was because we planned on eating again pretty soon. But next time, I'm getting my own. Both were delicious. Do not leave Montréal without eating here. You order at the counter, pick up your drinks from a fridge in the back corner (they do have alcohol), and there's maybe two dozen seats in this casual space? We came at around 2pmish and didn't have to wait to order and had ample seats to choose from.

top of the notch smash burger here. not only does this place offer an amazing selection of foods, but they offer such welcoming service too, friendly environment is a plus ! Honesty my favorite smash burger i've ever had! i highly recommend it!

We've often used the expression "melt-in-your-mouth" but this is ridiculous. The succulent, exquisite, perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy patty on a superb, soft potato roll you barely know is there topped with a heavenly sauce of which any English adjective is unworthy to describe. It's so moist and soft that It feels less like eating and more like absorption. You just assimilate this burger in your body and resistance is futile. And then theres the place itself. Decorated in a mid-90s theme which we LOVED. (I mean they had POGs!!) adorned with a beautiful distinct and memorable logo - a timeless Casse-Croûte look and smell that enhances the craving. To top it all off the speedy, friendly and very well organized team round out a flawless experience. (there was a medical emergency while we were there, apprently in the kitchen, and they did not miss a beat at all)

Delicious smash burgers and fries !! Highly recommend , small very cool place with hip hop music and decor. Loved it !

My wife and I recently visited Casse-Croute Mange dans Mon Hood after searching the best smash burgers. Upon walking in we sensed this was going to be quite the experience, the staff was extremely friendly, the ambiance was really trending and inviting as was the small of smash burgers. We ordered the Cali and Happy and to our surprise they were both GREAT! as were the fries. This is one place we are going to visit more frequently.

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Best smash burgers in Montreal. Wide drink selection.

I first heard of this place before they opened and couldn't wait to try them!! Finally went today, right before the second opening of the day at 5pm. I tried the Cali burger and the regular fries, I also noticed they had a wide variety of drinks. I would of liked a fizzy water option like Bubly or Lacroix though. The Cali burger came with a sauce that reminded me of the In & Out sauce, it also had all of the traditional ingredients you would find in a burger. The brioche bun was also a nice touch and I would definitely try this burger again, perhaps without the sauce next time and with an extra patty. The fries were also done to perfection, not too crispy and not too mushy and were made from scratch. When I was there, the place filled up in the blink of an eye and I have no doubt that they will earn a solid place on the list of must try burgers in Montreal!!
