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.

Best burger in Montreal. Quality meat for the best price I have seen out there, along with delicious sauces & soft yet crunchy buns are undeniably good!
I used to go weekly when the owners 10 years ago & I was in college (very understanding prices) & nowadays it still has the same tasty food & warm ambiance. Highly recommend it

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.

Best place for a burger!! Amazing flavors & quality in every bite. Family owned, just amazing vibes. When we went, we could put our ticket order on the wall, which adds a warmth to the decoration. Great for takeout.

Came to try because of the raving reviews. Burger meat was frozen & cooked till it's hard. Special sauces were not felt in the sandwich. Regular poutine. For $20 you could get a better deal & quality of food in McDonald's or A&W. Food: 3, Service: 5 Atmosphere: none.

This is legitimately good "fast food". Service is quick, quality is consistent, & the everything is very flavorful. It's always good & doesn't hurt my wallet. (Photos from two different days)

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.
