We had breakfasts. The food was fine. It was prepared quickly. But nothing special. The server was very sweet but very young and inexperienced. It was her first day working alone - Gee, we couldn't tell 🙄 . We waited and waited and waited. For every stage of our meal, including paying. And she kept forgetting things. Sorry, but we won't go back soon.
What guests say about Nickels Deli
Opinions are mixed: many customers like the generous portions, the smoked meat, and some dishes they consider very good. The service is often described as decent or very friendly, but others mention long waits, missing items, and sometimes a lack of attention. A few comments also point to an outdated place or issues with hygiene and cleanliness, so the experience seems inconsistent.
Reviews / Ratings for Nickels Deli
Very delicious food, big portions, and came out hot! This location had a lot of special meals that you won’t find in the other locations. The restaurant looked beautiful! The decor made me feel so immersed. The only thing that I didn’t like is that my server split a dessert in 3 but charged all of us half the price of the dessert. Therefore we spent more money there. She also automatically charged us a tip instead of allowing us to pick an option.
Amazing food diversity, the waitress was super friendly and nice. And the food quality was amazing. Delicious!
One of the last few places where I feel you get your money's worth. It's not fancy, but the decor is fun and nostalgic, and the portion is big
Eating a smoked meat at Nickels Deli adds another layer of emotion. Nickels started back in 1990 as a classic North American family diner, co-founded by Céline Dion and a group of friends. Even the name comes from her lucky number 5, the nickel. One bite in and it makes sense that Céline sneaks into your head: big feelings, nostalgia turned up to eleven, comfort food with diva-level intensity. #NickelsDeli #Montreal
