Aquí tienes una versión natural y cálida en inglés para una resena:

The burgers were absolutely delicious! The service was exceptional, & the portions were very generous, making the price well worth it.

The last time I came here was 18 years ago, & coming back today brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for the outstanding service you gave us today. We'll definitely be back very soon!

Tasted like a homemade/BBQ burger. I will definitely be back, either for the burger or poutine (or both :)) Also the staff was so sweet. If you're in the area & need a tasty burger that isn't crazy expensive, this is the spot.

NOT PICKS.

New people took over & they are doing things differently
you can tell the change is obvious & now the place is mediocre

Fell off massively.

This used to be my favorite burger place possibly of all time & now i wouldnt even go there if im starving

breaks my heart

-Patty tastes like it seasoned completely differently
-Honey mustard is tasteless (used to be one of their best sauces)
-Stuff like tomatoes & lettuce used to be very fresh. The change in quality too big to get over it

You can do whatever you want. This is your restaurant.
But instead of getting upset when someone points this out, you should actually fix the ingredients & match the quality if you want to truly claim you that'have deep respect for the legacy of Picks.'

THIS IS NOT PICKS.

I am probably not one of your typical the run clientele- baby boomer, but I really enjoyed my burger & fries. I loved the personlized list of condiments I was able to add to my burger, what a great idea.The young staff owners were wonderful & polite. Sorry, but I do not see much of this type of friendly personilized service especially to us baby boomers. Like many of you said this is a hidden gem. Please support these young entrepreneurs because there are not too many that take the plunge in the restaurant business.
I would give them a 4.5 stars not the 4 stars I posted because 5 stars would be considered exceptional food, service & location.
My one & only suggestion: take it easy on the sauce, the taste was great but a little too plentiful.
Good luck & I will be back with my millenium kids!
