Picks is one of those hidden gems in Montreal. Their burgers & tacos have a special touch to them. They use high-quality ingredients the right way. Their food is simply delicious. One of my favourites items on their menu is the delicious shrimp taco!

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!

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 stumbled across this unassuming hole-in-the-wall gem while looking for some local restaurants to try.

The place is small- it only has 4 tables & needs some TLC, but that's part of the charm. But most importantly, what they absolutely do right is the food!

I ordered a double burger with a fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, & chipotle sauce & it was exactly what a great burger should be: simple, but done very well & with fresh ingredients. They even offer kimchi on a burger, which I will try when I come back soon.

Their pricing is very fair & the service is fast. The lovely elderly couple running Picks has owned this little spot for about 17 years (if I remember correctly), & they have many loyal customers. After my first visit, they can definitely add me to that list!

Little gem of a burger spot tucked away on St. Catherine run by a courteous old Korean couple. They have a perfected sequence to their craft that is admirable to watch. Orders are submitted with a slip, old deli style. The housemade patties are no joke. Some great customizable options such as other types of cheese or grilled onions.
