Across the reviews, Picks is praised for juicy flavorful burgers made with fresh ingredients, a wide range of customizable toppings, and a welcoming fast service that creates a warm hole in the wall vibe, with many noting good value and dependable quality, standout items like poutine and inventive options such as kimchi and Korean corn dogs, and a strong emphasis on takeout and an easy downtown Montreal location; some feedback mentions a recent change in ownership bringing mixed consistency, with praise for maintained high standards and friendly service but occasional misses like drier bread or order mix ups, yet the overall impression remains highly positive and many describe it as a reliable affordable favorite for burgers with good vibes.
Extremely disappointed with our experience at Picks. We were served chicken wings that were cold straight out of the fryer. Even after sending them back, the second'fresh' batch arrived just as cold as the first. Completely unacceptable service & quality control.
Amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The burgers were absolutely delicious-juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The ingredients tasted fresh & high quality, & the menu had great options to choose from. The staff was friendly & welcoming, & the service was quick. The atmosphere was also really nice & comfortable. Definitely one of the best burger spots I've been to. Highly recommend! 💓💓💓

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.
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.
Amazing!! I love their poutine & burgers. They are good quality, tasty & for a very good price. The owners are super nice & get the orders ready very fast

Picks will always have a place in my heart. They're so unique with such high quality food for the best prices..... Always consistent. For me, it's the best burger joint in Montreal. The best.
