Review Summary

Reviewers consistently praise Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood for its smash burgers, particularly the Cali and the iconic smash with bacon jam, noting the buns are ultra soft, the patties juicy with crispy edges, and the MDMH sauce delivering a distinctive kick. The poutine and fries are described as solid to outstanding, with julienne fries and the bacon jam considered game changers, though a few notes mention fries can be a bit heavy or soggy during peak times.
