Review Summary

Overall impressions of Nickels Deli & Bar are mixed, with some diners praising the retro, family friendly vibe, open and comfortable interior, and comforting staple dishes like smoked meat and classic poutines, while others note strong nostalgia and good value alongside occasional slow service and uneven attention from staff. Several visits are described as enjoyable for atmosphere and flavor, including fast service and tasty desserts, though a few encounters mention rude or unfriendly treatment and mistakes with orders or billing. Hygiene concerns were raised by at least one party after spotting mice, and there was mention of a technical issue affecting gift cards, plus conflicting guidance on tipping. A common thread is that portions tend to be generous and the ambiance is a highlight, but consistency in service and kitchen timing, plus better upkeep, would elevate the experience and reduce disappointment for future visits.View restaurant profile
