Review Summary

Reviews describe Picks as a small, family run burger spot in downtown Montreal known for fully customizable burgers, fresh ingredients, and strong value. The menu invites personalization with a wide range of toppings and sauces, including smoked Gouda and kimchi, and even options like poutine on the side. Patty thickness is debated, with some diners finding thick patties hard to bite while others praise burgers cooked to perfection and juicy, and several notes suggest thinner patties could yield a nicer crust. The atmosphere is described as warm and welcoming, a hole in the wall with drawings on the walls and friendly staff. Many reviews highlight fast, courteous service and affordable prices, and a sense that the recipes and vibe have remained consistent even after new ownership. Poutine is a common pairing, with large portions and flavorful sauces, though a few readers wished for more sauce on the poutine. Takeout is convenient and the location near Sainte-Catherine and St Marc makes it easy to grab a quick bite. A recurring note praises the loyal, returning customers and the sense of community and value, with veggie burgers and other crowd favorites mentioned. Overall, it is seen as one of the best burger spots in Montreal by many, with consistent quality, generous toppings, and a warm, approachable vibe, though there are occasional mixed experiences.

Very nice & kind owners & the food is tasty! First time I tried kimchi in my burger, & I loved it!

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.

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!

The best burger joint in the city! I like the wall board as well. The only place you can get kimchi on a burger.

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

A small, quaint shop with two elderly running it. Their burger portion is big, & the buns are nice! Crispy & has a good chew. You're able to customize the burger & what sauces you want! Don't forget to add your veggie toppings that come with your burger. Surprisingly, you can add coleslaw. Their kimchi is also tasty & refreshing.
