Nickels Deli & Bar gets mixed marks: many reviews praise good food and reasonable prices, and several visits note fast or attentive service and a generally enjoyable experience, but there are recurring concerns about service quality and preparation. Some guests report a major fruit fly problem, a dirty coffee cup, and longer than expected service times that dull the overall experience. Cooking accuracy also varies, with some meat not cooked to the requested doneness and a few missteps with smoked meat orders, including bread and topping issues that make sandwiches hard to hold together. Portion sizes were reportedly reduced in May. On the positive side, smoked meat and other dishes are described as very good, and the overall value and atmosphere are cited as strengths, suggesting Nickels Deli & Bar remains a reliable option despite sporadic inconsistencies.View restaurant profile
