About

Nickels Deli & Bar serves a robust menu defined by classic North American comfort food and traditional deli staples. The kitchen specializes in stacked Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches, generous portions of poutine, and grilled specialties prepared on a signature flat-top. Diners select from a diverse array of hearty burgers, crispy chicken tenders, and freshly prepared salads that reflect a casual, high-volume dining environment. Booth-style seating and a retro-inspired aesthetic create a functional space for individuals or groups seeking standard grill fare. Milkshakes and decadent cakes round out the dessert offerings, which remain a consistent highlight of the brand identity. The focus remains on providing consistent, flavor-forward dishes that prioritize familiar ingredients and reliable preparation techniques within an unpretentious setting that emphasizes efficiency and traditional diner staples.

Review Summary

Nickels Deli & Bar offers a varied dining experience where the quality of the food, particularly the smoked meat, is frequently praised for its taste and affordability. While many patrons enjoy the menu selections and appreciate the nostalgic atmosphere, opinions on the service are inconsistent, ranging from exceptionally helpful and friendly to disorganized and inattentive. Some guests express concerns regarding portion sizes relative to price, occasional issues with order accuracy, and the need for facility updates, ultimately resulting in a polarized reputation where the consistency of the experience often depends on the specific visit.

I stopped by Centre Laval & realized I hadn't been to Nichels Restaurant in so long, so my daughter & I decided to give it a try.

We weren't very hungry, so we shared the General Tao, which was delicious, & finished with the brownie dessert it was absolutely amazing!

Our waitress, Natalie, was super sweet, & every staff member we interacted with was friendly & welcoming.

Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great meal & excellent service!

La nourriture était correcte, mais le service était étrange. On nous a redemandé plusieurs fois notre commande, on a dû demander de l'eau à plusieurs reprises pour en avoir & la serveuse nous demandait si on voulait un dessert alors qu'on avait même pas fini nos assiettes.

Went there with my girlfriend & had the cheeseburger. Halfway through my meal I realized the cook forgot to put the cheese. I told the waitress Alexandra she was very apologetic & I think the manger came out & apologized & said next time I should say something before. The price of the final bill was adjusted. No coffee or dessert was offered on the house.

Went with my wife at Nickels in laval today, & the result was EXTREMELY GOOD. Nathalie took care of us from the time we walked in till the end. Food is delicious especially the fries. Smokemeat JUMPBO sandwich was also very good. But to everyone that goes to this restaurant strongly recommend the Celine delicious dessert unbelievable how good it is. Everyone should try this restaurant in laval.

J'ai commandé le pizza-gheti, c'était très bon mais...les portions onts beaucoup rappetissée depuis la dernière fois que j'ai souper au Nickels, c'était a peine assez pour me remplir tandis que dans le passé j'avais de la misère a finir mon assiette. Aussi le service était très lent & la serveuse passais pas souvent. Aussi c'était l'anniversaire d'un de notre groupe & ils onts jamsis chanté le bonne fête. Aussi on as j'amsis eu nos desserts puisqu'ils nous onts spporter la facture sans nous demander si on voulais du dessert. Je donne quand même 5 étoiles puisque c'était évident qu'ils etait en manque d'employés mais c'est déplorable qu'il ai fallu que j'aille au Fu Lam me ramasser un poulet General Tao pour me remplir le petit creux qu'il me restait.
