Saint-Jérôme

American Grill Deli Breakfast Smoked Meat

Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Nickels Deli & Bar as affordable with solid smoked meat, generous portions, and friendly service that is sometimes stretched during busy times. The smoked meat is frequently praised, while a few dishes like fries are noted as not homemade and some visits are marred by longer waits and inattentive service, especially when large groups arrive. The decor and atmosphere feel dated to several patrons, and there are mentions of inconsistent efficiency and even a misadvertised pizza promo that required dining in and two people, which caused confusion about takeout options. Breakfast items and coffee receive positive remarks on some visits, adding to a generally good impression when conditions are calm. Despite the mixed notes, many diners say the meal quality and prices justify a return visit, with some planning to come back for the meat and overall value.View restaurant profile
