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
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.
Been in Mtl since 2017, but I didn't know this place existed until my fiancé told me where he usually gets his kogo, & i am glad that he introduced this place to me😎😉💜 Food: Oh Em Geeh, yes for sure tons of fats, but hey, it's what I came for, lol. Love the burger. You get to choose what you want in your burger. Deep fried potato Kogo 😋 👌 *raawwr* it was goood & good value =) Atmosphere: a diner experience, don't expect too much 💜😘❤️ Service was good, I think this is a family business, & it's well run 😀
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.
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.
