Review Summary

Picks is widely regarded as a beloved downtown Montreal staple that maintains a reputation for high-quality, customizable burgers and unique menu items like kogos despite recent changes in ownership. Most patrons praise the restaurant for its warm, family-oriented atmosphere, welcoming staff, and affordable pricing, often describing the experience as a genuine hidden gem. While the vast majority of visitors appreciate that the new management has successfully preserved the original recipes, flavors, and inviting environment, a small number of customers have noted inconsistencies in quality or personal preferences regarding patty thickness and preparation. Overall, the combination of excellent customer service, fresh ingredients, and a quaint, community-focused vibe ensures that this spot remains a top recommendation for locals and visitors alike.

Extremely disappointed with our experience at Picks. We were served chicken wings that were cold straight out of the fryer. Even after sending them back, the second'fresh' batch arrived just as cold as the first. Completely unacceptable service & quality control.

Amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The burgers were absolutely delicious-juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The ingredients tasted fresh & high quality, & the menu had great options to choose from. The staff was friendly & welcoming, & the service was quick. The atmosphere was also really nice & comfortable. Definitely one of the best burger spots I've been to. Highly recommend! 💓💓💓

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.

One of the best burgers I've had recently! Picks offers an excellent selection of toppings & sauces. I am a kimchi fan & was excited to see it as a topping option, & it really delivered - it was fresh & delicious.
