Such a cute little shop downtown! The food is good, & not overly greasy! Keep going back for the veggie burger & poutine!

A really delicious simple burger (customizable so you could have a fancier burger.) Made fresh

Amazing prices, fab service, patties could've been on the thinner side because it was hard to bite on those thick ones. Also, thinner patties would've given a nice fine crust, making the burger experience much juicier & more enjoyable.

Best burger in Montreal. Quality meat for the best price I have seen out there, along with delicious sauces & soft yet crunchy buns are undeniably good!
I used to go weekly when the owners 10 years ago & I was in college (very understanding prices) & nowadays it still has the same tasty food & warm ambiance. Highly recommend it

This place got a lot of upvotes in a reddit thread so I thought I'd give it a try. Apparently they switched owners but the guys I was met with were handling my order with such pride & care that I assumed they had been there for ages. The burger was delicious & tasted just as fresh as they claimed. While it isn't the best place to sit down & dine, the fact that it's located on St Marc makes it easy to find a nearby spot to quickly park & pick-up. Definitely coming back.

love this place genuinely it's such a gem!
Fully customizable burger joint with a great variety of toppings (shoutout the smoked Gouda) i love a good hole in the wall spot & it feels comforting to be here with the drawings put up on the wall from past customers. I don't usually gravitate towards burgers but this place is a new favourite in my heart. Tina is a great employee who always gives some excellent service! these burgers are still on my mind a few days later, I'll definitely be coming back!

I used to love Picks; it was hands-down the best burger joint in downtown. Seeing the elderly Korean couple every time gave me such a sense of familiarity & comfort.

However, I noticed the ownership has changed. The moment I opened the door, I was hit by a heavy smell of grease. They didn't seem to turn on the exhaust fan at all during the entire process, & the smoke just kept getting thicker-it was quite unpleasant to be surrounded by such an oily atmosphere. While the shop looked decent in terms of cleanliness, the food was a total disappointment. The burgers taste completely different now. We ordered & paid for extra toppings & sauces, but they were missing from our order entirely. The patties have lost that signature juiciness I used to love.
It's such a shame to lose such a great spot. I won't be coming back.
