Have lived in Cloverdale for a few years now, and Pick's was the first place we went to for lunch once we got moved in. I was super excited to have a local burger joint that had some good grub.Unfortunately, at least at first, it was definitely a bit of a disappointment. Portions were small, prices were high, and the food itself wasn't much to write home about. This meant we really only went like once or twice over the course of that first year. Trying out other places in town though, we found even with those detriments, Pick's was still better than other places in town (at least for burgers), which was sad, as where we were at previously had tons of great locations close to home.However, I will say, we've been giving it more of a chance over the ~last year, and things have changed considerably for the better!The burger itself (at least the big daddy; don't really see a point for the bobo) actually tastes pretty good nowadays. The patty itself seems to be nicely sized, and doesn't taste like a microwaved pre-formed patty like so many places sell nowadays. The buns aren't life-changing, but get the job done, and seem to balance pretty well with the patty/toppings. The fries are also pretty good (think they were crinkle cut last time I went, iirc, which is generally my favorite style), and you get a decent amount.One issue still is their open hours tend to be hit or miss. Completely understand that a small business has to make hard decisions on when to be open vs just wasting money having people working for no customers, but we've definitely had a hankering for an afternoon burger, walk downtown, and see Pick's closed. This is an area that seems to be getting better, and is more consistent in Summer, but I recommend calling ahead and asking what time they expect to stay open till. It doesn't help that most places in town seem to close relatively early, so there's no real evening eating scene here. Again, something we've had to get used to, but still kinda stinks.Also, the prices still seem a tad high. It's not as offensive now that their burgers come with fries as a combo (whereas before it was separate, I believe), but it still hurts paying $15+tax for a basic burger and fries (and I think drinks are still separate, so add a couple bucks more for that). I am upset at it, although I can't be THAT mad at Pick's directly, as that seems to be the new normal for most places (even fast food stuff is getting very close to that, and this blows away 90% of fast food for sure!). I personally would be much more open to getting food at Pick's more often if the prices were another couple bucks lower, but one person buying it an extra time or two a month probably doesn't move the needle enough.A nit pick with the drinks is they seemingly haven't had their soda fountain working for the last year+, which means you're paying a couple bucks for a can of coke, which NEVER feels good, haha. I just bring my own drink/get a water nowadays, as otherwise you're close to $20 all up, which again, just doesn't feel right for a burger and fries. I really hope they get this sorted, as it's a weird sticking point for me, but whatever. Wait times can be a bit long too. Doesn't really bother me, but keep that in mind. Again, things seem to be going a bit smoother recently, so another thing that has improved since a few years ago.Still, things are pretty positive now. They've also done some interesting dessert stuff while we've been here too. They did ice cream cookie sandwiches one summer, which were amazing!!! but I don't think they've done it again since. They're also supposed to be getting a soft serve machine this summer, so that'll be sweet, although I worry what they intend to charge for a simple cone. Hopefully no more than like $3, as I'd be ALL over it at that price point! They also have dipped into stuff like fried chicken and pot pies on special occasions, so there's definitely some more in

Tastiest hamburger ever. Perfectly ground meat patty with crispy edges. You can see actual ground beef not a pressed glob. Bun was soft and warm but did not fall apart. All wrapped up neatly in white paper so you could hold it in your hand without spilling a delicious morsel. Onion rings had just the right amount of battered crispness. The onion did not slid out of the battered shell so there was onion in every bite. All this goodness was served up with a smile from a very friendly staff.

Pick's is the best burger place in Sonoma County. The milkshakes especially are worth the wait and their outdoor seating is usable all year round.Fried chicken and chicken pot pies, when available, are phenomenal.You can't go wrong with any of their burgers, as well as the onion rings.

I only recommend this place for the burgers. Last couple of times I ordered fries, I got less fries than a McDonald’s small fry. I also don’t like the new rule of only getting to drink one beer at a time you can no longer order multiple beers at once so basically you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes to get the beer you already paid for, I don’t know if they did this to stop people like me from drinking 6 beers before my food is even ready .
