    Little cozy shop run by an older couple. Got their burger and a corn dog! Both were really good, definitely would be back for their corn dogs! They have a delicious batter!

    Located near Concordia, this is a small burger joint ran which seems to be family run by Koreans. Inside the restaurant, there are about 3 tables, which seats 2 people each. Went there at dinner time and there was lots of traffic. They also offer Foodora and UberEats. The way you order the food there is that you take a small order sheet and pick your order yourself and any add-ons that you'd like on your burger. I ordered their burger, with 2 patties, egg, sauteed mushrooms and aioli sauce. The burger came up so massive, I had difficulty taking a bite of it. Taste-wise, it is what you expect from a decent burger. Service was kinda slow but within a reasonable time. Bottomline, decent place for burger for a decent price!

    Our first dinner in Canada because they accepted credit cards. This place is bomb. Its owed and run by old Korean couple. You order by marking your order on their paper and marker. Very reasonable price for a well made burger that doesnt have the greasy after taste.

    Why did I find about this place so late? Such a gem. Customized burgers that aren't too heavy in the pockets? This is your spot. If you like burgers, this is still your spot! Picks is tiny, I almost felt claustrophobic and it was just me, my husband and the cooks at the restaurant. There are variety of options to chose from, they also give their best picks (pun intended!) We ordered a picks special burger each and then guiltily ordered a third single beef patty burger to share. I love how quick the cooks are, and they were nice enough to patiently listen to me during my indecisive rant about meats. I'm eagerly waiting for the day someone says the magical words 'let's grab dinner from picks'. The burgers are basic, packed with all the essentials and I would like to think love. I go here often and highly recommend this place to everyone. If you happen to stop by and see a girl who just can't decide on which burger to get- make sure you do say hello (spoilt by choice)

    Funny little shop that serves cheap and yummy fast food. The burger meat is marinated, which gives it a lot of flavor. Overall good, but nothing amazing. Check our their wall of wonders - it's full of drawing and notes left by thankful customers!

    Burgers and poutine.

    My sister and I had just arrived to our hotel and were looking for a quick dinner before we turned in for the night. After a walk through the nearby blocks of Rue St. Catherine, we ended up at Picks. Picks is just around the corner from Rue St. Catherine and a small family-owned restaurant. There were only a few tables but my sister and I managed to snag one for ourselves. Ordering was a little confusing- there were these little sheets of paper where we could customize our burgers, but the sheet of paper didn't include all of the other menu items. To keep it simple, my sister and I ordered a burger each and added on a poutine as a side. Burgers were good, although I thought it was a bit dry. Thankfully, I added kimchi so it added moisture and flavor. My sister liked hers. The standout was definitely the poutine! Now that our Montreal/Quebec City vacation is done, I've asked my sister which poutine she liked best and she picked Picks'! 3.5, but since my sister really liked their poutine, rounded up to 4.

    Kogo- it's like a pogo but extra as it was coated with potato chucks and it came with chipotle mayo dipping sauce - $4.50

    Looks can be incredibly deceiving and that's how I felt when I walked into Picks! I was recommended to try out this place from my friends who go to school here and boy was I not disappointed. Here's my rundown: Food - -Spicy Chicken Wrap - This wrap came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, chipotle mayo and honey mustard on top of the chicken. I can understand how this place would be a popular destination after drinking because this food is the epitome of drunk food - messy (finger licking good), savoury, and filling. The chicken melted in your mouth as it was so tender and the wrap was warmed to perfection. -Kogo - This was a game-changer. My friend pitched this idea to me and honestly, I wasn't sold on the idea as it seemed pretty weird and didn't look appetizing. The kogo is their play on the classic pogo - a deep fried all beef sausage on a stick which is battered in dough and covered with these potato chunks. It also comes with dipping sauce on the side. This was probably the best fast food dish I've ever had and I wanted more of it. The dipping sauce was chipotle mayo and you had to dip the kogo in the sauce to experience how good of a pairing these two made. Atmosphere - A small place that has one table for eating. This is more of a grab and go place and is pretty typical of your small fast food joint. Service - I feel like this place is family operated as it was run by what looked like a husband and wife duo. They were really friendly, respectful and took the time to explain their dishes to us as we were pretty unfamiliar with the dishes. Price - The wrap was about $5.00 and the kogo was $4.50. Pretty good for fast drunk food and I can see the appeal for this place. Verdict - This place is the perfect conclusion to a night out of drinking on the weekend. The service is pretty fast and if you were to try anything, try the Kogo NOW! I've seen mixed reviews on here but my experience with the kogo was amazing and is something that I would continuously get if I was a local in the area and that's saying a lot because I'm not much of a fan of regular corn dog pogos.

    Amazing burgers from a local business! The Korean couple that work there are so cute and the customizable burgers is a very nice concept. They have fried eggs and kimchi as toppings options!! The price is also very fair for the quality of the burgers - nice meat, nice bun, fresh toppings. I highly recommend this place if you have a craving for a nice, satisfying burger and don't really care for a nice setting. The only thing is that the seating area is very small so during peak hours expect to have it to go. (You can the burgers delivered too!!)

    burger + kimchi
    Kathy H.

    I have indeed fell in love with the kimchi burger and lots of sauce. The fries are average quality, they're okay. Edible. I looooove sauces, which they are generous with!! When you pick up your burger, the sauces are dripping down. The beef patties are not flat and small, they are juicy and delicious. I usually end up paying about $9 for the burger as I add a bunch of things to it. They are open late so classmates and I end up here after classes. It's just so tempting! They are super small with only three tables. The door does not close properly and is so cold in the winter.

    What is the fuss about? After taking the line for 45 minutes. I get to try this Korean dogs. As I…read moream a pescatarian, I tried the mozzarella dog and vegan dog. They were humongous. My sister was trying the ramen dog and mozzarella/hot dog. I didn't enjoy the line up in the cold, my toes were super frozen. The service is average; they rush you to make your choice. After receiving the corn dogs; you hope to find a warm place to try them. We went inside the metro to eat them. They are delicious, but since it's deep fried, you feel the heaviness of it in your belly. I was happy to try them but the experience to get them and eating them somewhere warm was horrendous.

    These Korean style pogos "Kogos" are delicious and so filling. One is enough to make a meal…read more At the moment there is a limit of purchase of 2 per customers but trust me, that is enough. I went on their second day of being open and for the ramen hot dog and the Gamsung hotdog (mozzarella cheese deep fried with pieces of French fried potatoes on top). Both were delicious but my favourite was definitely the ramen, it was so crunchy. You order on the right hand side of the restaurant and then wait in the line on the left hand side to receive your food (pay attention to your number as they will call it out to let you in the restaurant to pick up). Once you pick up your order you have a choice of 8 sauces. My server put a bit too much so I say less is more when it comes to sauces. They have a menu on the side with their recommendations of sauce to put on which Kogo. You also don't want to overwhelm the Kogo with too much sauce because there's so much to taste already. I put spicy mayo, mayo, and honey mustard on both of my Kogos and it was too much. The sauces were good but it just got too much. If you want to put more than one sauce, ask the server to only put a little. My friend got the volcano with chill sauce and recommends that one. He also got the ramen hot dog with spicy mayo and he said it was a bad pairing, he thought the spicy mayo would've been good on another hot dog. I also got the pineapple juice and it was pretty good! A bit ordinary but good to pair with your meal. Prices are around 4.99-6.99 per Kogo so not cheap but they are loaded so it's worth it. Lines seem long but it goes by quickly.

    I've been to Poulet Rouge a few times now and honestly it's one of those places I keep coming back…read moreto without really planning to. Whenever I don't know what to eat but still want something good (and not too heavy), this is usually it. The chicken is always solid. Juicy, well cooked, and actually seasoned properly, which is not always the case at places like this. You can tell it's marinated and not just grilled plain. I usually get a bowl and load it up with veggies and a sauce or two. The sauces are really what make it for me -- flavorful but not overpowering, and they don't taste artificial. What I like is that you can build the bowl however you want. Some days I go lighter, other days I'm hungry and add more. Portions are decent and I usually feel full after, not stuffed but satisfied. Price feels fair for what you get. The place itself is clean and simple, nothing fancy but comfortable. Staff has been nice every time I've gone. Sometimes it's busy, but they still move pretty fast and don't make you feel rushed or ignored. It's not "fine dining" obviously, but it's reliable. And that matters. If you're looking for something fresh, filling, and easy, Poulet Rouge is a good choice. I'd recommend it, especially if you're tired of greasy fast food.

    Just tried this place on a whim once we arrived to in Montreal after a 6-hour drive. I was honestly…read more**shocked** (in the best way) at how many vegan options they had -- even vegan chicken! it was super delicious! My friend ordered a regular chicken bowl and it was a *huge* portion -- we could barely finish, but it was so tasty we kept wanting "just one more bite." Definitely a spot I'd recommend, especially if you've just arrived in town or don't feel like cooking. Perfect for a quick takeout fix that doesn't feel like a compromise on flavor.
