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.

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.

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.
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.
Neighborhood pillar!!! When I'm thirsting for poutine fries, this is my place! The owner cooks it quickly & he & his wife are friendly. Prices are great. I prob go there twice a week or so when I visit.

One of the best places in MTL to get a burger. It's fast & the burgers are amazing as were any of the sides I tried over the years. The couple running the place is friendly & quick.
Excellent burgers. Very inexpensive. It's a small, humble little mom & pop shop, but what it lacks in pizazz, it more than makes up for in flavor. 10/10
I ordered through a DoorDash & I must say, this is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Although this establishment is run by a lovely old couple & it's hidden from the spotlight, I recommend visiting it & trying it to help the business as it is not that busy & they've been around for a lot of years.
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)
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
