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!

One of my personal enjoyment of Picks is the old korean couple who move with little urgency but produce high quality foods at the blink of the eye.

Regulars are in for a surprise as they have sinced retired & sold this beloved hole in the wall. I hope this review will provide confidence to those who come by & see news faces behind the cash register that the quality & taste is exactly the same. The new proprietors were trained for a month & it shows. They even kept the wall of drawings.

Buy with confidence.

Such a wonderful little hole-in-the wall! They make wonderful hotdogs & their kogos (Korean corndogs) are not to be missed!
The staff is also so warm & friendly, it's always a pleasure to stop in & grab a bite

Picked this place because we wanted a poutine & they came up with several good reviews on their poutine. Walked up & found a tiny hole-in-the-wall place steps off of Sainte-Catherine that couldn't hold more than 10-12 people. Looks like they are family run.
Wife & I shared a double burger & poutine & I have to admit both were excellent. The portion was large enough that it was sufficient to feed both of us for lunch. Hot & fresh, I guarantee I'll come back next time I am in Montreal.

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!

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.
