Reviews about La Fringale describe a welcoming family cantine with generous portions and a focus on poutine, many varieties of toppings, and solid burgers, hot dogs, and smoked meats alongside desserts like beaver tails and shakes. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised for being warm, lively, and clean, with bright decor and a terrace on nice days, while the staff are noted for friendliness, attentiveness, and fast service. Poutine is frequently highlighted as a standout, with fresh cheese curds and crisp fries and an array of combinations, and prices are considered reasonable for the quality by many, even as a few say some items are pricey or do not always live up to expectations.

Occasional critiques include a burger that lacked flavor and some dishes arriving tepid or reheated, but the overall impression is positive and the place is described as a must visit in the region.
Un accueil tellement exceptionnel par le beau jeune propriétaire (Shawn) un endroit chaleureux une ambiance des plus agréable, avec des plats & une présentation surprenante, le tout agrémenté de saveurs & de portions très généreuse. Des prix très compétitifs & des produits frais. Une terrasse extérieur magnifique pour profiter l'été! Un endroit familial que je recommande fortement à tous. Mon top 1 des endroits préféré! Merci beaucoup la gang de la Fringale vous êtes magnifiques & toujours un plaisir de venir chez vous !!!
This Sunday afternoon around 1:00 PM, my wife & were returning home to Mont-St-Hilaire via the 116 in McMasterville & stopped at La Fringale for lunch. What a big mistake! I ordered the all-dressed hamburger, fries & some water & my wife ordered a club sandwich & fries. One positive aspect of our meal was that my wife's club sandwich contained a generous helping of chicken.
On the other hand, I could not identify by taste the meat patty in my hamburger. It had very little taste & was grey in appearance. It could have been beef or pork or a beef substitute, I couldn't tell. It was so tasteless that I asked my wife to try & identify it. She said it could be low-quality ground beef, but she wasn't sure. The bacon accompanying my burger & her club sandwich was very fatty & not appetizing as well.
The portion of fries was huge, but they tasted old or reheated & were not crisp when you used a fork.
Suffice it say, for the $ 45.00 or so we paid for this poor-quality lunch, we felt we had been ripped off. The next time you're in the area, be sure to avoid La Fringale, it is not worth the visit.
If you wish to have a good burger, fries, smoked meat or club sandwich, make sure to visit Le Pont Noir, at 488 Chemin des Patriotes Sud, in Mont-St-Hilaire. We both wish we had decided to go there for lunch instead.
Poutine poulet portugais 1/5 décevant
Manque de fromage
Sauce portugaise pas très bonne
Manque de goût
Poulet pas très goûteux & en très gros morceaux. Bizarre devoir prendre un couteau pour manger une Poutine.
Club sandwich bon mais poulet froid 3.5/5, hot dog 3.5/5, chesburger 3/5,
Frites 4/5, smoke meath bon mais gras 3/5. Ambiance, décors, musique 5/5. Service très rapide & courtois 5/5. Beaucoup de places pour manger, autant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur 5/5. Stationnements très serrés 3.5/5.
Au départ j'y allais pour la poutine. Elle est bonne mais pour moi j'ai trouvé la sauce trop salée. Cependant le Burger Big Dave est décadent. Un nouveau besoin de créer. Je ferais vraiment le détour juste pour ce burger. Le proprio super sympathique, accueil chaleureux & souriant.
