Located in the heart of Rosemont-La Petite Patrie, Nickels offers a unique experience. Taste the best food ever, with family or friends. Recently renovated - New admisnistration! Best smoked meat cutter in CANADA.
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.
Très bonnes portions, bonne cuisine, le service est vraiment agréable la décoration aussi, quand je suis sorti j'avais plus faim. 50$ par personne avec pichet de sangria, dessert & café.
I wasn't going to do a review, but I've glued to the toilet since yesterday evening & I simply can't take it. I visited this diner not to long ago because we saw it while on our walk & decided to turn around & it there because of their cool concept restaurant. Everything was fine in the beginning, we had good service was nice & the food was good & affordable. It genuinely should have ended there but it did not, days later I started to show symptoms of high fever, nothing I was eating was going down my stomach & I was experiencing TERRIBLE diarrhea for more than 28 hours. At first I thought it was just maybe a common cold but the more I was experiencing bowel issues the more it wasn't making any sense. I looked back on all the food I've eaten the pass few days & the only thing irregular about my diet was when I ate at the diner & everything started clicking. I had to go to the doctor & they DID diagnosed me with food poisoning & now I'm stuck between alternating from my bedroom & the bathroom, while drinking medicine to ease my pain. I really didn't want to make a review & my overall experience at the was good BUT I simply can't shake the fact that other people were probably going to eat what I ate & may be experiencing the same issues. I believe it was the vegetables/produces that ruined my stomach. I had a chicken wrap & the chicken was cooked (to my knowledge) but the wrap also contained food items like avocado, salad, tomatoes, etc. If you do decide to eat here, I advice that you do NOT order that meal! Thank you.

Le Nickels est un vestige d'la Paza d'une autre époque. Blast from the past: flashbacks au 90s guaranti. Les portions sont copieuses, bon rapport qualité/prix, & le staff est super gentil.
The brunch here is one of my favourites--lots of classic options (including healthy ones!). The service is always super prompt & attentive. This place has a kitsch retro decor, which isn't to my taste, but I still love it because the ambience is warm, thoughtful, & friendly.
Food was served fast & fresh. It's nothing amazing but it was an easy & quick meal when we were on the move. The service was great & she checked on us several times throughout the meal.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ma poutine italienne & ma fille a mangé un Mac&cheese que j'aurais dû manger aussi. Elle a bien aimé. Le service était bon, la serveuse très gentille & polie & l'attente pour les assiettes n'était pas longue. Pour l'ambiance, c'était un peu trop bruyant & beaucoup de gens utilisaient leurs téléphones. Mais en général, j'ai bien aimé ma visite.
Nourritures toujours excellentes, que ce soit pour déjeuner & autres repas. Bon service, serveuses souriantes & attentionnées. J'y vais depuis des années !!
Hier Samedi vers entre 17H & 18H. On étais en groupe d'ami de 4 personnes & j'avais pris le repas général tao qui selon moi étais vraiment bon mais par contre à la fin quand il fallait payer la serveuse. J'aide mon ami pour comment payer un pourboire a la serveuse sur sa machine donc je le met un pourboire de 2$ puis après ça la serveuse me dit que il fallait la donner 15% de pourboire que c'est environ 6$ & que c'est obligatoire (non c'est pas obligatoire). Je sais que on est pas obliger de donner 15% de pourboire mais elle ma forcer a le faire. Puis même que un de mes amis on du payer le 15% de pourboire même si on pas manger mais juste ils y ont pris un boisson & c'est tout. J'ai trouver que la serveuse étais vraiment bête & je suppose que seulement elle a pris cette règle a sa façon. Je sais pas qui est cette serveuse qu'elle a travailler hier soir mais elle mérite sois ce faire avertir ou bien de ce faire renvoyer. C'étais ma première fois que j'allais là-bas & c'est ma dernière fois que je vais là-bas.
