Small but so very quaint! These are the kinds of hole in the wall homie restaurants runned by a lovely couple. Just amazing food & everything. 10/10 recommendation spot!

I used to love Picks; it was hands-down the best burger joint in downtown. Seeing the elderly Korean couple every time gave me such a sense of familiarity & comfort.

However, I noticed the ownership has changed. The moment I opened the door, I was hit by a heavy smell of grease. They didn't seem to turn on the exhaust fan at all during the entire process, & the smoke just kept getting thicker-it was quite unpleasant to be surrounded by such an oily atmosphere. While the shop looked decent in terms of cleanliness, the food was a total disappointment. The burgers taste completely different now. We ordered & paid for extra toppings & sauces, but they were missing from our order entirely. The patties have lost that signature juiciness I used to love.
It's such a shame to lose such a great spot. I won't be coming back.

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.

Buy with confidence.

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.

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.

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.
