One of the best burgers in Montreal, & certainly the best value. Their fries are excellent, too.

Was staying at a local hotel & saw great reviews for this place within walking distance so gave it a try. We got poutine & a steak burger. The employees were friendly, & the food was both cheap & delicious!

One of the best places in MTL to get a burger. It's fast & the burgers are amazing as were any of the sides I tried over the years. The couple running the place is friendly & quick.

Service was great, the people were super friendly & helpful. I had the steak burger with kimchi & the aoli sauce & it somehow was perfectly juicy while being nice & crispy. So good will definitely come back

As others have stated, run by an older couple who seem nice. Very hole in the wall. I got there 15 minutes to closing & ordered a poutine. They took my order, but didn't offer any toppings (even after I'd asked) - just the standard cheese & sauce. It was affordable - I think 7CAD. Didn't see it on the menu. The poutine, however, was too salty. I avoided the sauce as much as possible & just ate the cheese & fries. I still could barely finish just that. People seem to love the burgers, but poutine is definitely not the move here.

Picks is operated by a lovely older couple out of a tiny, smokey storefront with three small tables inside. It epitomizes a hole-in-the-wall. The burger patty was cooked perfectly although was a tad overworked, it was elevated by a high quality roll & fresh, quality toppings. The poutine was generously topped with curds & a typical sauce, the fries were frozen but crisp, fluffy inside & seasoned well. I would definitely return in the future as I felt it was greater than the sum of it's parts.

Local spot with great food! I can't say more of the owners & the food they create. Burgers were great! Fries cooked to perfection. I am coming back for sure. If you are in the area, definitely give them a try, you will not be disappointed.
