Being new to Cloverdale, it's exciting to have new food options in town. In short: good service, good food, great milkshake My order: Pick burger, French fries, chocolate shake. *Fries: well salted with a good crisp. *Burger: good seasoning. Milk bread bun reminded me of Hawaiian bread in a good way. Picks red relish was a nice pop of flavor. *Shake was the standout. Good consistency. Not too thick. Not too runny. Just the right amount of chocolate. served w a boba sized straw that made sipping smooth & easy. The chocolate dipped soft serve cone looked amazing and apparently the Pick's Pilsner is brewed by Old Caz, so will have to give those both a try next time. And there will definitely be a next time read more

Pick's Roadside is a cute little burger joint in Cloverdale that we have been wanting to try for awhile so my wife and I decide to take the short drive down from Ukiah to check it out on a beautiful spring day. It's very inviting and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, as many others have said, the food isn't worth the price. The burgers are OK, but not great. My wife got the veggie burger, which she said had too much Chipotle sauce on it for her liking. Otherwise, she thought it was good. I ordered the Pick's burger but added a second patty, and I'm glad I did. They are reported to be 1/3 lb., but I found them rather small and fairly dry. If I had ordered one patty, it would have been too much bun for the tiny patty. With two patties, it was about right. The fries were reported to be very salty, so I had the seasoning on the side. It was very salty. I'm glad I had it on the side. The chocolate malt was OK, but too dark for my tastes. It was presented well. It had a good consistency, too. Overall, the meal was OK, but we paid over $70 for two burgers (one with two patties), a small order of fries, and a chocolate malt + tip. And we didn't even order drinks other than the chocolate malt. If we had ordered sodas, it would have been more like $90 for two people at a burger joint! It certainly wasn't worth the $70+ we paid. Don't get me wrong. I like to eat at gourmet restaurants, and I'm willing to pay for good food, but Pick's had the gourmet pricing but not the gourmet flavor. I could take my wife out for a prime rib dinner in Ukiah for about $5 more. Paying this much for a so-so burger at a burger stand is ridiculous. This was our first and probably our last time eating here. They need to lower their prices or seriously raise their quality. read more

The service was fine, the people were nice... but the pricing pretty outrageous. It's a friendly outdoor atmosphere. The real issue is the food. Two regular burgers and one veggie burger, and all three of us got the poops. Me for an hour, my partner for a day, and the third of us, an older bloke, is STILL sleeping with puppy pads in the bed - and is getting fluids by IV every other day since. Hopefully he survives. read more

I heard about this local revamped establishment on The Wine Road podcast so I thought we'd give it a try. We live in Orange County, California, but a few times a year we travel to Ft. Bragg to visit friends. On our way home, this past May, we decided to stop at Pick's for a quick bite to eat. My husband and I ordered the basic hamburgers and fries. The meals were SO fresh and delicious! The hamburger patty was not overcooked with just a bit of pink, very nice and juicy! I think this is the best hamburger I've ever eaten! The fries were equally fresh and crispy. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our lunch under the shade in their eating area. I heartily recommend this quaint local eatery! read more

Cute spot to sit and enjoy a burger. The employee was not super friendly, and let us sit at the counter thinking she'd take our order. I finally saw that all orders were at the register, right next to me, as the line formed! Oh well now we know. The burger was very good. The fries were super SALTY! They looked fresh and like real potatoes. Cute outdoor seating, nice patio. Great for tourists! read more

Not sure why this place has low reviews...but it was an awesome find while passing through town! The burger, onion rings and fries were fresh and tasty! We opted for the blue cheese bacon burger and it was delicious. The onion rings were the best I've had. The service was great. Seating outdoors was cozy with the heat lamps! read more

50$ for the wrong burger, a soggy chicken sandwich, and some ok onion rings. Really wanted to like this place but after that experience I'm not sure that's possible read more

Great food and service. Burger tasted delicious and beers were great! Would definitely come back again! read more

I ordered the double burger and added cheese. No sides or drink and my total was $20 with 20% tip. The burger was great and the woman behind the counter was super friendly. It was convenient to walk over with my pups, order a burger and have a quick lunch. They source their meat locally and it has a nice beefy flavor. I did feel a little skimped on the lettuce but it didn't bother me too much. I think the new owners did a great job renovating this iconic Cloverdale restaurant. read more

Just wanted to share my appreciation for the staff at Picks Roadside . I have celiac disease and every time I come they make sure to safely prepare my food and talk me through what they did to ensure the security of it. I know that it's not easy to accommodate me so I appreciate their efforts all the more. I usually get a strawberry milkshake and a Picks mini burger with a gluten free bun! The fries are not gluten free as they are cooked in the same oil as flour items but my family enjoys them! read more

Pick's Roadside - Proud to be some of the first in line on opening day!! We will be back!! - Burgers Near Me - Cloverdale, California

New ownership. Reopened in January 2026. Our blue/bacon burger was great as was the service. Great job.

I had high expectation for Pick's Roadhouse after it was featured in the Sonoma magazine. Hubby ordered a milkshake and it was delicious. The hamburger was underwhelming at Best. The article spoke about their homemade buns, but the whole hamburger was on the small side. Our dinner cost $77. We got two burgers, one milkshake one root beer, one onion rings, and one fry. I would tag this as a tourist trap. Sidenote: parking is very difficult. read more

After a dedicated phone conversation, earnest dialogue and exchange...I would care to adjust my review and gladly leave the door open to revisit. John S. expressed a great deal about the emphasis of Pick's Roadside becoming (again), an integral part of the Cloverdale Community, not only as the 'place to go' for a great food and ambiance, but part of the fabric and vibe of what makes and keeps Cloverdale the hidden gem that it is, and hopefully...always will be with the open perspective shared by John S. and Co. John S. read, and positively commented on the review I left, and my takeaway was this: Pick's Roadside has earned a definite revisit...with reasonably high expectations in return. Much aloha and success to PIck's Roadside. read more

We enjoyed our burgers. The meat to bun ratio was perfect. It was great not to have an oversized bun. We returned a 2nd time and tried the onion rings. Very tasty, not greasy, nice and crispy. The sauce the serve it with is called ranch. It tastes more like dill. Yum, my favorite! I have since returned not once, but 3 times to enjoy their grilled hot dog. I have had it with the secret sauce as well as without. My now favorite spot for a grilled dog . The remodel looks great! Welcome back read more

Was so excited to see Picks reopened... great new spot for the town. Like all new food places, and a new team they need to work through the learning curve -and as they go, so go we. But finding only Wagyu burgers at a high price, and no other option in my opinion will eliminate a lot of customers. Have stopped by now 2x, and both times the flavor of a wagyu meat was lost to the sauces and onions. Give us options, a regular burger at a lower price, or for those that want it- a wagyu burger with sauces & et al- then don't complain about the prices. Fries too salty- you can always add, but you can't take away. read more

This is a follow up Picks burger review to one I provided a few months ago where I noted that some work needed to be done. Well, I recently revisited Picks and ordered a Picks burger and milkshake. My thought was let's try again and see how it goes... and.... Excellent burger, very excellent milkshake! Like, OMG this is good. Worth it. I did not order fries because I splurged on the milkshake but when I return (and I will) I will order fries. Side note; I wonder how a Picks burger would taste with a fried egg on it....hmmm... Good job Picks! read more

Kind of pricey but really good. Excellent fries, fast and friendly service. Clean restroom. Would visit again.

Service was friendly and quick. I loved what they did with the renovations! Food was good.

Ordered the black bean burger, chocolate shake and fries. Everything was fresh and tasty. I will gladly pay extra for quality food. The new owners did a great job at fixing the place up. I can't wait to visit again! read more

We were very disappointed we paid $39 And received two hamburgers Which were very dry hamburgers Where supposed to be medium well no mayo, no cheese no ketchup didn't even ask And those hamburgers were $13 each With McDonald's quality french fries with seasoning, salt, and two sodas and that was only one order of fries and just to say again was $39 read more

I understand this is the first week, but! First off the remodel and service was all great. However the food was marginal at the best. I feel if you are only serving a couple of things. Burgers and chicken sandwiches they should be mind blowing. I'm sad to write this. I was so looking forward to the opening. We will see. Salty and saucy. To highlight the exceptional beef. Less is more. read more

Service was great, and the newly upgraded ambiance is too. Tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which had a lot going on in a good way. I need to go back and try one of the burger next! read more

I like that Picks kept it an old school hamburger joint. We had a burger and a hotdog and they both were really good. Had a milkshake which was great. The only thing the french fries had a little bit too much salt and garlic on them. Other than that, everything was great and definitely will be back. read more

Food was a 8/10 although the milkshake was a 10/10 and service was fast! Will definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving a burger!

Should have read reviews first. I was really hoping for a good burger. Food was ok tasting. I have been in bathroom since I got home. Started about an hour after eating. The place does look nice staff was nice but will not be going back read more

$13 for a plain bun with mayo, not great either. Cool vintage spot bought out by transplant venture capitalist. Just what we needed :/

Food is okay but man oh man are they pricey, your looking at a burger fries and a drink for not under 30+ a person, been here a couple of times, this is most definitely my last time due to the outrageous prices with no refills on your drinks read more
