Chicken burger Net +1

“Visited Motor City Pickl after 9 months of being in Dubai, and as a chicken burger lover, I’m always on the lookout for a decent burger joint. Having visited the Motor City branch, I can say we were far from disappointed. From the level of service and recommendations offered by Jane to the taste of the food, the experience was amazing, and we will definitely be coming back soon. Many thanks to Jane for making this experience one to remember. See you soon!”

“Let's start with the star of the show, the Chicken Sando Burger. It was a symphony of flavors and textures that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and juicy on the inside, all nestled between soft and fluffy potato buns. Combined with a special sauce, it's a burger that dreams are made of.”
Double cheese burger Net +1

I ordered Double cheese Burger along with chicken tenders, for tenders you can select the spice level as per your taste from plan to reaper.

Steve's bespoke burgers Net +1

“Updated review (21.04): We came to the Motor City branch after receiving a free invitation for lunch/dinner as a gesture to the previous incident. Emmanuel was of great assistance and the food was delicious as usual. We ordered two Steve's Bespoke burgers and one Time Out Editor's Choice burger with some French fries. Couple photos added and rating improved to 4 stars.”
The jeff cheeseburger Net +1

Salted caramel shake Net +1

What to Avoid (8)

Food 7

Bacon cheese burger meal Net −1

“So I orders bacon cheese burger meal. Service was quick and order came promptly. Good thing is the customization option as we can add and drop sauces and toppings. Firstly, the size of burger is quiet small as compared all the other burger joints available. Beef petty isn't so heavy too. Fries seems like a normal skinned frozen fries available over the counter. There was no special wao factor both in burger as well as fries. Seems like I was having a very regular meal which can be grabbed in 1/3 of the price point. Actually I was expected better taste and kick from Pickl.”
Chicken caesar sando Net −1

“Home delivery by Talabat, Chicken Caesar Sando the lettuce inside was days old and grey!!! The fries weren’t cooked, hard in the middle and cold!!”
Chicken nashville Net −1

“The chicken nashville was okay but definitely overrated, at least in my humble opinion, as the chicken was very oily and the spice seemed to be more apparent in the color, rather than actual taste.”
Dbl bacon cheese burger Net −1

“We bought chicken sando and DBL Bacon Cheese Burger. We found the taste of the Chicken Sando to be just okay while the serving was reasonable. Bacon cheese burger was not something which will push me to come back.”
Messy fries Net −1

“However, the fries didn’t quite match the burger excellence. Both the Sando and Messy Fries felt a bit dry and lacked the generous saucy kick that usually elevates them. A little more sauce or seasoning could make a big difference.”
Missy fries Net −1

“We also ordered the Missy Fries, and what we received looked nothing like the photo on Talabat. I’ll be posting a comparison so others can see the difference. We were really looking forward to this meal, but the quality and presentation were extremely disappointing.”
New yorker cheeseburger combo Net −1

“I ordered the **New Yorker Cheeseburger Combo** from Pickl and made a very simple request: add an egg to the burger. The request was completely ignored. On top of that, the food itself was extremely disappointing—especially for nearly **AED 80**. The beef patty was very thin and had almost no flavor, and the fries were hard and tasted like they had been cooked hours earlier and reheated. Overall, the quality was well below average. Honestly, even a cheap cafeteria burger would have tasted better and offered far better value. Very disappointing experience.”

Drinks 1

Chocolate milkshake Net −1

“Got delivery tonight, extremely expensive at 166dhs for 2 meals , the fries weren't great , chocolate milkshake tastes weird and chemical taste. Chicken sandwich was ok. They didn't even put any sauces for the fries, nothing at all !!! won't order here again.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Check sauces. For delivery, confirm that fries sauces are included before leaving the order; missing sauces were a repeated complaint.

Choose spice. Ask about the heat level before ordering chicken; the menu has options ranging from plain to Reaper.

The Bottom Line

Pickl Motor City is geared around burgers and fried chicken, with dine-in and delivery available. The strongest case for visiting is the smash-burger range: reviews describe juicy, well-seasoned patties, and the Original Cheeseburger, New Yorker Cheeseburger and BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger all receive specific praise. The Chicken Sando, Nashville Tenders and Sando Fries are also recurring choices, while the vegan burger gives non-meat eaters an option.

There is useful flexibility in the menu. One reviewer customised a burger topping-by-topping, and chicken tenders can be ordered across a broad spice range. The ice cream sandwich and salted caramel shake provide dessert options, although a recent delivery customer found the chocolate shake chemically flavoured.

Staff service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and dine-in orders have sometimes arrived within 6–7 minutes. The main caution is consistency, particularly for delivery. Customers have reported cold or undercooked fries, missing sauces and ignored modifications; dine-in feedback on fries is mixed too.

Prices are sometimes considered high for the portion size, with one New Yorker Cheeseburger Combo review citing nearly AED 80. Seating is compact, outdoor tables can be uncomfortably hot in summer, and the kitchen smell may reach the dining area.
