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.
Little gem of a burger spot tucked away on St. Catherine run by a courteous old Korean couple. They have a perfected sequence to their craft that is admirable to watch. Orders are submitted with a slip, old deli style. The housemade patties are no joke. Some great customizable options such as other types of cheese or grilled onions.
The burger was okay, a bit undercooked with spring mix instead of lettuce. The bun was really tasty, fluffy & toasted nicely. I got the fries & sauce on the side, they were crispy & delicious. The sauce was very good too! I would go back to try a wrap & poutine next time for sure.

Delicious beef burger can customize to your liking, good filling poutine, really nice owners, they waited for me to come in to pour the sauce on the poutine.
Bella esperienza
La coppia che gestisce il locale è molto cordiale e disponibile
Cibo buono e abbiamo apprezzato soprattutto il fatto che puoi comporti L hamburger con gli ingredienti che preferisci
Unica pecca il locale che andrebbe un pochino rinnovato ma comunque merita la visita

Great to talk with the restaurant owners, a couple from South Korea. The burger was excellent with a slight crunch to the bun & cooked on the grill. Definitely good value here! You can customize your burger as you like it.
When I entered, I was taken aback. The place was quite small, the decor very simple & the menu written on a blackboard alongside a list of add ons & free toppings. The prices reflected the ambiance of the joint. Nothing exuberant. Very straightforward. There wasn’t a single person other than the couple working there.
The man took my order: Their Pick burger, the most basic burger you can get. I garnished it to my liking, got a fry. Ordered one for my roommate. Everything was prepared very quickly & he handed me my order in what seemed to be 5 minutes
When I got home & opened the paper bag he had given me, I was hit with a smell I haven’t smelt since childhood. This isn’t a McDonalds, thawed out, plastic looking fast food burger scent, or the nauseating smell of a ridiculously priced, over-the-top, heart attack causing, artery clogging burger you’d order from one of those ‘sit down’ burger joints in the city.
This is the type of burger you can only expect to see in movies. The smell, the packaging, the colours & the textures of this meal are everything you would think about when you crave a cheeseburger but it’s existence feeling as distant & unrealistic as a mirage in this world of culinary failures & deception. Well guys, search no further because this is where heaven meets earth.
Everything about this experience was perfect. Eating this burger single-handedly brought me back to the early 2000s. This is how cheeseburgers were meant to be enjoyed. This is the sweet spot between the fast-food experience & the love & soul of people who know what they’re doing in a kitchen. I wish I could relive the feeling of that first bite but the best I can do is recommend you go & experience this for yourself.

Burger: 9.5/10 - Staff: 10/10 - Place: very nice local small burger shop ambience.
Details: very, very, good burger! I went for the double burger with both smoked gouda & mozzarella cheese. For the sauces I added chipotle mayo & ketchup. & I added fried onions & mushroom, lettuce, tomato, regular onions & pickles. It is very good. Price is ok.
I would advise them to place the bun over the heat a little to make it crispy & to make the burger meet slightly fattier & more tender. & to make the taste of the fire smokiness more visible in the meet. With the those modifications it would the best burger in Montreal. But it is definitely one of the best burger places.
