Nickels Deli & Bar comes across in reviews as a reliable spot for classic deli fare and smoked meat, offering generous portions and a broad menu that suits breakfast, lunch, or a casual dinner. The atmosphere is described as clean, casual, and welcoming, with friendly service that many patrons appreciate; however, a few visits mention slower pacing or inconsistency. The food tends to be praised for taste, especially the smoked meat, poutines, and other comfort dishes, while some items are noted to vary and a couple of visits report mixed experiences. Prices are generally considered fair, though a handful of comments point to higher costs or limited platter options in some contexts. Its location near the airport and in the Dorval area makes it a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike, contributing to frequent returns from regulars who value dependable flavors and a family-friendly vibe.
Went there with my friends & waited 15 min before walking out. The place was not bust at all . Nobody came by to take our orders. I was really looking forward to it based on other reviews
Food was very enjoyable(evening menu), the service was terrible. Waitress was really slow. Had to ask for waters, she forgot what was ordered & came back multiple times to double check. She left mid conversation while taking my order. She even scratched my hand trying to grab something out of reach on table.
Serveuse vraiment à l'écoute du client. Service rapide & efficace. Portion plus que généreuse & très bon au goût. Je reviendrai très certainement. Qualité prix raisonnable. Merci à votre équipe. En passant j'ai mangé spaghetti nickel, servi avec smoked Meat sur le spaghetti, délicieux.

La nourriture était bien, généreuse portion de viande fumé sur mon pizza-guetti. Le service était moyen mais globalement c'était bien. Dernière visite, côté & sous-marins, ils ont changé leur frites & elles sont pas terribles. Côté levées bonne mais servis sur une pauvre feuille de salade pas fraîche.
Had a delightful lunch here with colleagues! The food was delicious, & the service was attentive & friendly. A great spot for both casual & group outings. Would happily return time & again. Highly recommended.
Ordered French Onion Soup & Chicken Quesadilla... not freshly made soup or fresh veggies in Quesadilla, had flavour 👍🏻 Service was average & non observant (had to ask for drink refills) or being relatable (talked about music playing 🤷♀️) Not sure wanna go back..
On an overnight layover, stayed nearby & a short walk here at late afternoon. Got the sandwich to take away. Excellent iconic Montreal specialty: smoked meat .
