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.
It was so amazing !!! We didn't think much of it before entering, but the owners are so welcoming we decided to eat here for lunch. The burgers are absolutely DELICIOUS, filling, tasty, everything is homemade, it's perfect ! The bread was so tastyyyy
Would definitely come back here again & again, I wanna try everything
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!

I used to come here all the time when I was a student. I visited today & the lovely old couple is still there, welcoming you with warmth. I love this place & everything about it.
Finally a new location in Montreal! As good as the restaurant in Chinatown minus the wait & the long queue! A must in town if you're craving for some hand pulled Chinese style noodles!
Amazing experience at Picks! Andre was super friendly & kind when we placed our to go order. The burgers, fries & panko kogo were out of this world delicious! Don't forget to try all the sauces, LOVE the honey mustard & chipotle mayo, & ginger dressing for the salad was so yummy too! Can't say enough good things about Picks, definitely will return to try their K-tacos!
Was staying at a local hotel & saw great reviews for this place within walking distance so gave it a try. We got poutine & a steak burger. The employees were friendly, & the food was both cheap & delicious!
My son wanted me to give this ten stars out of five. The poutine was really great, & the burger I had was fantastic. The people running the place are delightful & kind, & if you like little family run places with great vibes & good food, then this is the place to go.
