DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT
First & last time coming here. Never in my life have I walked out of a restaurant before getting food. Waited over an hour for 2 sandwiches for lunch. Waitress took 3 tables' orders back to back with us in the middle, the other 2 got their food in a reasonable time, the table who ordered after us actually finished eating & left before we got anything. Waitress tried to blame it on the computer but she was clearly lying.
Cherry on top was that after an hour of waiting she brought a small bowl of about 10 french fries to try to make up for the wait. We left immediately after she set down that bowl.
This restaurant & its service is an absolute joke.

Just what I expected from a mall eatery. We came here because it was close to the airport.
Food was prompt, friendly (thanks Regina!) & plentiful. We ordered the classic poutine, jumbo smoked meat sandwich & two burgers. Fries were ok, not too crispy, but still tasty. The place was very clean & the server checked on us a few times.
I forgot to take a photo of the food when it came, but from the bowl, you can tell it was a generous poutine.
Prices were fair. I think it's definitely deserving of a higher rating!
A good restaurant. We went several times. Great smoke meat. Large menu, but some stuff in it is less perfect. Wide opening hours, including for breakfast. Good service with friendly staff.
I go often with my grandmother & my dad to this location for breakfast where we get served by Regina. She is always so kind to us & has a fantastic memory for our usual orders. We specifically ask to sit in her section each time we go. We love her service & it's the reason we go to Nickels.

Ordered the Nickel's Club on Uber Eats to my hotel room & it was awesome! Good portion of meat on the sandwich, the fries & coleslaw were both great too.it was prepared very quickly & came to my room still hot & delicious. I will order here again whenever I find myself in Dorval. Highly recommend!!
We stopped there as we were driving through the villages on our way from Laval to gatino & realized that this Metro is like holding its citizens hostage by putting the prices high not offering much variety. It's too much micromanagement in there & that's what's causing this to be unpleasant when you go see them. I understand they're remote & everything but regardless it's not a reason they should take an opportunity in take advantage. So I mean it was all right. The selection was not good though we went to buy sandwiches they had only like single sandwiches. All other metros have like little sandwich platters they didn't have any of those. They had individual one sandwich for $9. They don't have the platters where you could buy many many sandwiches & one one tray pay about the same thing so they try to get the most considering they're position. So all in all selection wasn't great. Prices were high. Staff was not friendly
