Everyone else is very nice here except this one rude server who is angry at 11:00am for no reason and putting it out on customers.

Tried the Nickels Special pizza with chopped smoked meat on top. It was good, but not amazing. The chocolate shake was very good. Staff are friendly and provide excellent service.

To start with the waiter, Lotfi. S. Was one of the best servers I have had in years. He did everything correctly from welcome through service all the way to check out time. If I could of, I would of double my tip. But Budget is limited. The food was very good and well presented and was dilishious. Restaurant was clean and tidy and cleaned as soon as tables were vacated. The men's room's were clean and tidy but a fresh mopping up with clean water and some javex would help the stale smell inside. In all great effort on the staff considering the amount of customers attending this establishment.

Bad service and overall a very disappointing experience. The waitress came across as unfriendly and uninterested, which made the visit uncomfortable. I understand everyone has off days, but when you’re working in hospitality, basic friendliness and attentiveness matter. Unfortunately, I would not return based on this experience.

I don’t usually go out of my way to post bad reviews, but this was really really bad. The food came within 2 minutes because that’s how long someone prepared it for. Cold meat on untoasted stale bread with a slap of mustard on top. It is worse than fast food quality for double the price. The servers were very kind and friendly, so I hope that maybe if the quality improves it could be a much nicer place.

Went there on Easter Monday lunch time, foods are good but modest size. Kids menu is brilliant, we ordered salty beef sandwich and the meat tasted as good as the popular spots in town! Won’t come here specifically, but a rather good choice if you are in the area and not sure which one to chose, won’t go wrong with Nickels.

Nice spot had what the waitress described as what Nickels is know for, the Montreal smoked meat on rye, it was alright. Peters on Ellington in Mississauga was better with more depth of flavour

Our company orders breakfast here frequently on mornings. Lately it’s been getting worse & worse, recently they’ve been giving us progressively less & less portions & now they have refused to give us the discount on the specials for take out & that’s never been then case. We’ve always been polite, we’ve always been consistent.

We just experienced a great family time...6 adults and 4 kids 3 and under. Super large portions...kids shared spaghetti, pizza and a hamburger meal at great prices for huge portions and they loved every bite. Senior portions of fish and chips and filet of sole were delicious. Reuben sandwich, crispy chicken burger...super! Service friendly and we had an awesome dinner! Definitely recommend!

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT First and 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 and 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 and its service is an absolute joke.
