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.

As others have stated, run by an older couple who seem nice. Very hole in the wall. I got there 15 minutes to closing & ordered a poutine. They took my order, but didn't offer any toppings (even after I'd asked) - just the standard cheese & sauce. It was affordable - I think 7CAD. Didn't see it on the menu. The poutine, however, was too salty. I avoided the sauce as much as possible & just ate the cheese & fries. I still could barely finish just that. People seem to love the burgers, but poutine is definitely not the move here.
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.
Local spot with great food! I can't say more of the owners & the food they create. Burgers were great! Fries cooked to perfection. I am coming back for sure. If you are in the area, definitely give them a try, you will not be disappointed.
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
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.
It's amazing I can order for pick up from Google maps, with discounts. & not even in 20 minutes the order is ready. & I love the burgers. The prices are very fair & affordable. Love this place
A MUST TRY. I cannot express how DELICIOUS the burgers here are. Every ingredient is exquisite & the burgers are cooked perfectly!! I have never eaten a tastier burger before in my life. I will be returning very often.
Just a mom & pop making the Best burger in Montreal. You dont go here for ambience. You go when you just want a good burger that tastes consistently great over the years. No fancy b.s. I recommend the bulgogi steak patty.
