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.
J'ai commandé pour emporter "Le Star" (sandwich au smoked meat) & un gâteau au fromage. Le smoked meat était correct; j'ai déjà mangé mieux ailleurs (plusieurs traces de gras au milieu de la viande même si j'ai demandé très "lean". Le gâteau était cependant délicieux! J'ai mangé que la moitié de tout ça car pour une personne c'est beaucoup trop! Ça fera un autre repas demain! & la demoiselle à la réception a été très serviable & gentille, ceci avec un grand sourire! Merci beaucoup!
My family had a brief stopover we would take them back to the back to the Airport to catch a later flight. Since they wanted to have smoked meat & poutine they chose this restaurant close by. The food was good & the service was amazing our waitress even laughed at my husband's jokes. We plan on going back for breakfast those pancakes look enticing. Thank you Nickles for the excellent quick frienfly service.
I visited this place with my friends, the food was good & all but our waitress was present at one time only when taking order, another waiter brought our food. Then, when it was time to pay, we paid & left no tips. The waitress came to our table & started lying that i haven't paid some federal amount of money, & i have to pay now again. From my understanding, she wanted tips, but why would you lie? I was talking in a different language with my friend, waitress thought i was a tourist or foreigner & tried to make money out of it, i wouldn't recommend it. Very unpleasant experience, honestly.
A solidly okay place. The food was tasty but for the giant smoked meat sandwich the meat is very strategically placed to make it look like there's more than there is. The fries were a good "dirty oil" fry with a nice color. No one asked if we wanted more to drink. Only one check in during the meal. It took forever to get the bill & the place lacked atmosphere.
Bonne nourriture, bonnes portions, la serveuse (je n'ai pas noté son nom, blonde aux cheveux blonds avec cheveux attachés de chaque côté) est de celle que tout restaurateur voudrait engager, efficace, souriante & attentionné.
Nous étions un groupe de 12, manger très bon & portion généreuse, très bon service de la jeune serveuse Olivia, qui nous accueille avec un beau sourire & elle etait très agréable, très belle soirée pour les 75e à ma mère elle était très contente,
