Nickels Deli in Gatineau

Soumarin Phily steak served on hot dog bun without brown sauce Not impressive. Disappointed

Family of 4 ate here yesterday. 3/4 of us are sick. Will not be coming back.

Very good lunch

Excellent meal, excellent service from Julie and Renée, reasonable price, good atmosphere

I liked it. Great service and food. I would recommend this location.

Great food good price and good service Parking: Plenty of free parking Kid-friendliness: Bench for children too Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access

Portion of smoke meat really small. There was 1/2 inch of meat. Really disappointing . When I asked for less fatty meat the waitress told me she would charge me two smoke meats!!!!

Really disappointing, I ordered the star so a smoked meat sandwich (supposedly their specialty) and I have rarely eaten something so ordinary. Two old dry loaves with scraps of fatty meat... no slices, just scraps. The waitress was stupid and seemed to hate her job, while the other team members played electronic music from the 2010s at way too high a volume. I feel like I threw $30 out the window, on top of having an unpleasant time.

Good service, welcoming staff, good and hot meal

It feels good to be in a restaurant that even the employees are in a good mood. I enjoyed having lunch with my sons and grandchildren. The childrens portions are really big, long live the doggybags

Amazing food plus great drinks

Reuben leaves something to be desired, its not the best smoke meat in Montreal, Gatineau or anywhere else. Reuben was disappointing, not the best smoke meat in Montreal, Gatineau or anywhere else.

Nikos was our server. What a great gentleman. His service was first class and the food very good

All is excellent except the music is a bit loud. Have to yell to have a conversation.

I went there last Saturday and I have just recovered from food poisoning caused by bacon that was too fatty and undercooked. 4 days of not eating I even had to go to the emergency room because nothing has come in since. I dont recommend going to lunch if you want to be sick.

Smoke meat sandwich was really small, not like back home in Montreal.

We waited over 1 hour 15 minutes for our 2 plates because the waitress had forgotten to order our order. The plates were cold and 2 small slices of smoke meat between 2 slices of bread! Really 0/10 across the board

They serve a tasty smoked meat

Very yummy milkshake and smoked meat

Service was a bit slow today, compared to other time I was there

Went in for breakfast. Ordered 2 simple things. People that came in 25 min after us had food. We still did not have food 45 min after sitting there. Kept looking at hostess and just ignored. Ended up walking out without ever getting food. Worst experience waste of hour of my time.

Great Service as usual!

Dinner on March 6, 2024 I ordered a Filet Mignon skewer MEDIUM RARE and the chef sent me a WELL DONE filet mignon. What chef doesnt know his cooking??? Our waitress was exceptional...what a shame the food wasnt.

Warm atmosphere

We made reservations 2 times and got there and had nothing under our name And the supervisor was rude and completely ignored me Service

Somewhat still an affordable place, renovated but still has that dinner vibe

Fast and professional

Havent been here in awhile, did not disappoint, great meal and service.

Excellent service and great food! Thank you

Air-inflated fries with no taste in it, the same for the Poutine sauce, you cut in the wrong place to save money, youre going to lose people for basic dishes. It should be tasty if youre used to the place, unfortunately its was my last time at your branches

Good lunch and best milkshake in town!

Very long service no common sense but lunch was very good

Great smoke meat, lots of choice for meals. Great service.

I love the food, always excellent, impeccable service

Good meal and quick service

Basic lunch not one of the best 2 eggs bacon waitress who looks like a weather vane very dry bacon and cold eggs not recommended

Always great service every time. our server was really excellent.

I have always had excellent, friendly and courteous service....and with a smile! The majority of their dishes are very good, except for the subs which I found average and the limp fries. I give 5 stars for the entire menu because I like it.

Good atmosphere, varied food, good drinks and service. We liked everything we ordered, from pizza to snails, filet of fish and potatoes, filet mignon and obviously desserts.

The lunch was excellent, and what can we say about the very nice and friendly waiter Maxime

Hello for the information during my visit to Gatineau this place is appropriate and very busy I enjoyed my meal a busy and tasteful lunch very good services appreciated and I recommend it. Parking: For your information, parking can hold 25 to 35 spaces.

Very good service and good food Kid-friendliness: Alright

Returned to the 3rd person we were seated. Then back at our seat we order a starter of snails with garlic gratin, with 2 star plates with traditional coleslaw. Our main meals were served before starter so that 20 minutes later we received our starter. The waiter then brought us our starter which was so-so. He had garlic bread that came with it but sold us extra garlic bread. Our plate of smoke meat was lukewarm and we didnt even choose our cut of meat to be lean or regular. In the past we had this option. In short, we wont go back!

Excellent Quebecois skillet lunch It was a first for us and not the last!

We went on a Friday evening around 6:15 p.m. and the place was packed! :)

It was our first time and it was excellent!! The service was fast and efficient. Very polite waiter. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. I loved it!

My favorite place for lunch

It was very good, fast service Server served me really well

Super good service

Good food. Very good service. Thanks Paul!

Good food and friendly service. Beware of the bar side! As they have 5 digital slot machines and they forgot to mute them, if someone is playing you will keep hearing a frequent annoying loud heeiinnn sound!

Good food, quality price

The service was ok, was pretty busy at the time. What I was not impressed by was one of the special was steak and shrimp, we did receive delicious shrimp we did not get steak, we got pieces of beef in a gravy. We were disappointed but we are not people who complain. It was tasty but not steak. Will try restaurant again but not order (steak).

Nothing to say, its a good place to eat quietly

Very very bad experience. We arrived at 1 p.m. for dinner, but were informed that dinner didnt start until 2 p.m. We said to ourselves that it wasnt a big deal, we had come for a little family outing. Once seated, the children order the strawberry pancakes. The waiter comes back to tell us that there are no more strawberries. Once again, we say to ourselves it doesn t matter, we came for a little family outing . The children change their order for a fruit waffle and orange juice (the juice is included with the childs meal). The waiter returns with fruit pancakes. When we mention it to him, he replies is it really serious? It s pretty much the same thing as pancakes and waffles when you think about it. Then I started to get really impatient. One of the children finally accepted the pancakes, the other really wanted his fruit waffle, especially since he had just been disappointed because he couldnt have his first choice. Finally the waiter leaves with my little ones plate and returns much later with the correct order. It should be noted that the other three people had their meal on the table (and in one of the orders, the eggs were not as requested, but I didnt say anything because it would have come out really badly given my dissatisfaction and my irritation). And the juice is still not served... The waiter finally brings the childrens juice. (Weve been here for a long time) apologizing for forgetting them. Finally, we arrive to leave. The waiter brings us our bill and we see that he charged us $8.98 for 2 large orange juices (remember that the juice is included with the childrens meal). When I mention it to the waiter, he looks at me impatiently, but I hold my own. He leaves and finally comes back with someone elses bill. I mention it to him. He gives me back my old bill with the juices still charged. I tell him and finally he decides to give me 8.75 in cash So, not only do I pay the taxes on the two juices, but he doesnt even reimburse me the entire amount owed. I know its not much, but its the principle. And I mention that I still left there with a bill for $75. I even left a tip, something I later regretted. I should have just left the minimum of 8%. It was mistake after mistake, dissatisfaction after dissatisfaction. I will not go there again and I strongly advise against this restaurant. Mistakes happen, we are all human, but the way the server responded to us really left me speechless. Customer service doesnt seem to know that.

Very noisy

We reserved the old one for a large group (50) and both the service and the meals were excellent. We have nothing to complain about, everything was perfect Were going back!

Hello, first time at this restaurant, warm welcome. , There were 10 of us for a meeting to unify 5 birthdays, we were served coffee quite quickly and about 30 minutes before we could order, after 40 minutes we were all served at the same time. The waitress was quick to our requests, the prices reasonable Our plates ranged from salmon, eggs benedict, to those of skillets. But there were no slices of tomato salad, or a few pieces of fruit normally served on a lunch plate. Washroom was very clean with music. I recommend

Super good smokemeat jumbo!!!

Very good meal and excellent service. It was the first time I ate a skillet lunch and it wont be the last! I really liked the southwest . Not to be missed: the cake window when entering the restaurant. I couldnt help but bring a piece home!

Slow service Overcooked and cold food The atmosphere leaves something to be desired

Great food, service, and atmosphere!

The Smoke Meat suggested.... excellent

Great food

Waitress doesnt know her menu... incomplete meal and several omissions

Great, friendly and helpful staff. Go straight for the smoked meat sandwiches... Food

Beer on tap was flat.. Smoked meat, meh. The service was excellent and fast but I wont be returning.

Parking: Assez grand Recommended dishes

The menu has changed and the dish I loved is no longer offered. I dont think Ill go back.

The food is really great!! The smoke meat is delicious!! Their Fonzi (Swiss cheese and mushrooms on a pretzel bun WOW!!! The pasta is delicious!!

Very dark atmosphere but very good

I really prefer this place...

The service is really good :)

Good food, good price

We went there for supper with our 2 1/2 year old tonight. Staff was great our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately the music got loader and louder as we started ordering and by the time we were almost done our supper. We were not able to even hear each other speak. The music sounded like we were at a club night back in 2003 with Rihanna, Snoop dog and 50cent playing. I got my daughters pizza, the dough was so thin and soggy the toppings didn t stay on it and you could see right through it. She never got her drink that comes with the kids meal and we left before they could offer her dessert. The poutine we got with our sandwiches were very small disappointing and the cheese curds were very very cold. They were probably frozen. And they charge almost 5$ extra (each) to have a poutine instead of fries. That s and extra 10$ for a very small poutine. If people are paying that much extra they should make it worthwhile. My husband had the burger and that was definitely not worth 18$. A chip truck burger looks and tastes better at half the price. I had the Ruben sandwich and that definitely wasn t worth 20$. It was ok but I ve had better elsewhere at a lower cost. The mojito are not the best. First sip was good but then no flavour left, it tasted like soda water with 70% ice in it. They didn t charge for the pizza because we said something but our bill still ended up being 80$ with tip and it s definitely wasn t worth it. I told our waitress that she was very great but this restaurant is very unpleasant and unprofessional. I Hope she finds a better place to work at where she can share her great personality with a restaurant who is worthy of great staff. The place looks nice but it ain t worth it. Not the one in Gatineau that s for sure.

The food was good but the music was way too loud.

My food was good but the desserts were not as good as I remember.

Expensive but good! And great service

Good lunch.

We went for breakfast during the ice storm, we didnt have electricity, they were open and it was nice to have a warm meal.

Clean place, welcoming staff, impeccable service, frankly its my favorite.

Always satisfied

Very disappointed today. Well cooked medium Angus beef. I asked him for 2 incisions in the 3 pieces of beef. Rather, they brought me the whole pieces, no incision and the pieces were very well cooked. Apparently they dont do that anymore. It seems to me that cooking them 5 minutes more versus 6 incisions and 5 minutes less makes a big difference in the tenderness of the meat. Ahhhh, by the way, Ive been a regular for 13 years. We celebrate our birthdays there and....Nickel, cinema..... I ate there at least 56 or 65 times maybe..., I emptied my Frisbees card! Good luck if you want your salad on the side or anything thats out of their way.

We took 2 smoked meat sandwiches for take-out...For the price, frankly, it was NOT worth it...they have reduced in size again...and we have been buying them from you for take-out for 2 years, soon were going to have to find another place to make it if it continues like this... Then add pickles: is that an addition to the cost or what? We didnt have any last week....In the end, disappointing to pay so much for such a small sandwich....Now, Im not going to talk about the portions and the prices of the desserts...but you can guess!

I really liked it

Spectacular breakfast and the service was outstanding Bravo

Excellent food but service that leaves something to be desired. Maxime a very unpleasant waiter. No class. Tells us to wait when we ask him for the bill. He ends his service by telling us I hope you lose because we come from Quebec

Good meal but the waiter (Maxime) has no customer service, does not ask if everything is ok and if we would like something else, and says good evening very sarcastic and wishes us to lose because we came to encourage our Ramparts. Parking: Easy access.

Maxime disappointed with the tip we gave him, 3 people, well he deserved no more, no service, unpleasant and stubborn and seeing as we came from Quebec for Tuesdays match wishes us to lose. Parking: Easy

Excellent customer service!

Very good service from the waitress Chloé!

Very good lunch and my mother really appreciated the support at the edge of the table, very useful and safe for this sunrise

Awful service. Our server was arrogant and not polite at all. We never received our breakfast. Will never go there again.

The server was very efficient

very fast and friendly service our waitress gave us outstanding service, she even managed to make us laugh until we cried if Im not mistaken her name is Emilie dont give up

Terrible! Fish & Chips. Frozen fish as hard as the sole of a boot and fries cooked 2 hours earlier and kept in a warmer. Good service.

I had an awesome dinner here with my boys. The food was great. The server was very very nice and she made some good recommendations. Have any of their salads. Super filling. Burgers were amazing and my youngest son ate a big meal for under 10$. We will go back for sure.

Very nice employees

Food is delicious worth the money and the service EXCELLENT!!!!!

Very good, but we asked to turn down the music 3 times. It looks more like a disco bar than a restaurant

Expensive for what is offered. The pancakes were really bad, downright muddy once the syrup was on them. And noise, noise, noise .

Shared a smokemeat and a Phillys steak sub. The smokemeat was cold the bread was dry and tasteless and they meat was bland. The Philly steak was very plain more onions than meat. Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

the general tao chicken was disappointing

Very good service and welcoming waitress! Great ! See you soon !

Country atmosphere. Vrm appreciate the touch of ketchup on the potato.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu, Food

A real ketchup treat! Hats off to the chef!

They gave my sons their food .He took a bit, and they (other server) came and took it a way to give it to other table. With not even going back to the kitchen, just take fork out of the Mac and cheese and give it to girl at other table. My wife and I was surprised and didnt have time to say he ate some of the Mac and cheese and tried to tell the other table about it. They said service was very poor as they waited 45min. So one kid out of 3 needed to wait 20 min to have a other plate to come .Its not a good idea. You guys should have brought something on the house (free) to accommodate your mistake + explain to a 5 years old why he cant eat it . Bill comes no discount, nothing, not even an apology / sorry

Service and food was very good and not expensive. I had their smoke meat platter, my husband had the General Thao and daughter had the pizza and we were all satisfied with our meal.

I got a burger, and it hit the spot.

Changed menu wasnt that good

excellent

I recommend this restaurant, very good place. If you like smoked meat, smoked meat is THE PLACE.

I am seriously injured, I have crutches, I slipped 3 times due to the floor, and the doors have no peg to open. Coming out of the toilet I saw a man, I waved to him just to tell him that the floor was slippery, just tell the owner, he replied with an arrogant look, Im the owner, you want me to change what about my infrastructure, maybe its your sandals, I answer him, it doesnt matter I just wanted to tell you, he says to me: youre frustrating. Really. Ive ruined my camp, the owner of the nickels doesnt look good

SO EXPENSIVE FOR SO LITTLE QUALITY....ITS A SHAME...

For lunch: The wait for the meal is a bit long. The only downside is that frozen cubed potatoes are cooked and left in a warmer, which ruins the whole meal. I recommend that you change your potatoes into cubes with a little taste (homemade potato style.

Very kind to accept us for lunch at 10:55 a.m. even if lunch ends at 11 a.m.

A friend and I went and we ate well and had fun at the bar next door

Excellent service! Food as expected! We found the place to be very noisy, but still pleasant. Parking: The places are very narrow! Kid-friendliness: There is a childrens menu! But no games for children. It is more of an adult clientele that is there.

10 inch smoked meat pizza. 12 chicken wings $52 plus tip $$$$$$ The pizza, the sauce is a canned sauce from the market, not even seasoned to at least have some originality, very little taste. Smoked meat no taste. Undercooked and gelatinous dough... really not good. It was much better before!!! The wings, perfectly cooked, sauces aside, and not coated as intended Sauces I had, a red hot one diluted in water A mild bbq sauce bound with Jo sauce and water. Its not good I dont recommend it at all. There are better deals in the area for the price Very disappointing. Not good

Fried potatoes not very appetizing no taste egg were good and cheap on the side meat aka bacon ham.

Server was very helpful, especially helping to choose food based on my food insensitivities, will go back soon!

Had a breakfast potatoes were hard and over salted. Asked for honey ndver received it.

Great service but a little noisy.

Really very delicious food but not very competent service

Very good service

Frankly very disappointing place

Music too loud - you have to shout to talk to each other. Very uncomfortable.

Super welcoming and very clean

Unfortunately there is no service in the poker section. The worst place to go to play, it doesnt even concern you, you wait 30 minutes or more to change a ticket and dont expect anyone to ask you if you want something to drink It is shameful ! They all make fun of us except the young man some evenings..

Service was great. Food was hot and great tasting

Great space!

Great

I really liked Chenoys and Im also excited about the changes since it has now become Nickels, I forgot to tell you that they honor the famous old Chenoys points card and you dont lose the points you had amassed. Great no. !!! Parking: Parking space.

Wonderful deli! Great food!

The food is very good as is the service we went repeatedly

Smoke meat was chewing gum

The Italian Festival of good choice at good prices. The employees are very attentive to our needs. Excellent choice for quick and delicious service. Chicken penne.

Good service! Good food!!

Had breakfast with young parents with an infant Parking: Great parking spaces. Food : 5/5 |

First of all, its a diner so I dont think this is like any other restaurant I rate. But Ive been here with my children twice now, and the service has been exceptional both times. Its a standard diner, if you like any good diner, youll like this one. But why Im coming back again is the staff.

It was excellent :) waiter(s) smiling and welcoming very good food and very nice atmosphere

A varied and appetizing menu. The service is cordial and professional. All in all, a good restaurant, especially for lunches.

Very busy...must say its the holiday season. Waitresses with broue in the toupette. Parking: Space when its not rush hour, cinema. Kid-friendliness: Family Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessibility. Ground floor.

Very good food

Really not expensive for lunches.

Its good, passable... you take us for that with this kind of mini portion for almost $18. I dont understand why a waitress sweeps the floor while there are customers, is there something urgent?? Sincerely disappointing . If there are people who like it and are satisfied, so much the better..

Good and big lunch

My go to spot for breakfast. Good service and decent food!
