Nickels Deli & Bar draws mixed feedback, with many noting friendly and efficient service and fair prices, good portions, and tasty smoked meat and pasta when the kitchen runs smoothly. Others report inconsistencies, including chewy calamari, fries that are not hot, and dishes where the meat or sauce falls short, as well as slow service during busy times or when large groups are present. Some reviewers mention outdated decor and a dim ambiance, while a few praise a comfortable, quiet atmosphere when the place is not crowded. There are occasional complaints about promotional claims around a smoke meat pizza and dine-in requirements that can be misleading. Overall, the restaurant is seen as decent value with solid smoked meat and breakfast options, but experiences vary and improvements in consistency, timing, and ambiance would help.View restaurant profileshow more
