Nickels Deli in Saint-Laurent

Excellent regular Smoke Meat sandwich. 10% off for seniors.

Nice quiet restaurant atmosphere... Nice portions for the price! Nice people and very clean!

I ordered a chicken skewer and I received a shrimp skewer I don t eat that and I had a salad without any dressing and no receipt!!! PRETTY ORDINARY

We go there every week, fast and courteous service, coffee served quickly, good food for lunch, worth visiting, no need to queue. I recommend!

we go every Sunday morning for breakfast. the waiter and waitresses are fantastic always welcoming with a smile

The old girls gone straight downhill in 2 years. Stained ceilings everywhere, poor service, wouldnt consider a request for a sandwich. One in our party asked for bacon and eggs and was told breakfast was over at 11 am, sorry.

Horrible food never again don t go there

Dirty coffee cup. Cooking levels requested not respected (medium rare). Waiter a bit rude. Otherwise the food is generally very good. (Except cooking the piece of meat).

This place is open early am and has decent breakfast and even nicer staff. Food is served quickly and is very buget friendly

Excellent service and good price

Our experience was okay however we noticed the presence of a mouse moving along a divider in the dining room.

Excellent food. Excellent service. And an Excellent atmosphere.

Very ordinary cuisine and menu. Very good, friendly, efficient and efficient service.

Second time i cant get served at 9pm even though door reads 10pm!

Very good smoke meats and good service

A little disappointed average service in short food Fairly normal 6/10

Visited Nickels when going for an appointment, didnt disappoint. Had missed going there since theres none left in out area. Had the smoke meat platter and Id eas very good. Big portion and the waitress was very friendly and quick.

Just another place to visit & have a great meal

Order the smoked meat sandwich to go. Probably the worst smoked meat I ve ever had in Montreal. It was stringy, full of fat and just overall a bad experience.

Sandwich is the best

Very good smoked meat. Super efficient waitress

Very bad service! The waitress was nonchalant and looked like she seriously hated her job. She offered us table dhôte for our meal, but then charged us individually (drink, starter and separate dessert) telling us that we just had to tell her before she goes out the bill and that she could not guess. We realized this after paying the bill and she did not want to correct her mistake. The food was rather disappointing as well. Cold hamburger and reheated cheese sticks. Honestly, I dont recommend the experience. Save your money and go elsewhere!

Excellent service; Smiling and very kind waitress. Super good food. Good portion (but too many fries). I had the Marilyne hamburger. Good choice! Fast service. *I removed a star because I found that the cake (Céline) was not fresh

I usually go to this restaurant because its the only place my kids will eat. My kids eat from the kids meal and usually get the hamburger with added cheese. I have asked for it a few times and I havent been charged for it except on the last occasion. Keep in mind a kids meal is $8.99 and this time I was charged $4.99 for a slice of cheese. I understand that asking for something extra is going to get charged but I found that a bit much. When I questioned the charge, the waitress stated that its a restaurant and the other times it must have been overlooked. Anyhow, needless to say that paying more thank half-price of the meal for 1 slice of cheese is quite greedy on the restaurants part and left a sour taste in mouth.

Already better with the new administration...but still more work to be done...

If someone at the restaurant reads this, please let the kitchen know that a cheddar and ham crepe should never use Kraft Singles as cheddar. That s not cheddar. It tasted disgusting. Plus the crepe was dry and small and you only put one slice of orange on the plate. No potatoes or other fruit like other breakfast places?? It s insulting that I had to pay for such a bad plate of food. The 2 stars are for the waitress who was really nice and came to refill the coffee.

Very poor quality, waited for an hour and a half and didnt get our food. My baby was overtired I couldnt wait more so we left. This reminds me of kitchen nightmares episodes. They cant function on high number of people. First and last visit.

Equal to himself.

You cant go wrong when going to Nickels, been there for so long. They never lost their standards. Great food, big portions, great service and affordable for families.

Nice place, employees are great, and the food is better. Must go back.

Good breakfast, I enjoyed friendly waitress always with a smile

Food is always great. Have practically tried everything on their menu with no complaints. The manager , staff and employees are always polite and courteous to their customers. The bar is a great place to be when you just want to enjoy a drink or food. Always a welcome place. UPDATE Over the last couple of weeks since November 2022 this place has gone downhill. The staff is incredible but whoever is the owner has dropped the ball big time Toilets don t work, heating off,missing items on-the menu and a total lack of care for customers and the restaurant Really a sad state for a place that was great I ve been going to the bar for over 10 years and whoever is in control of this place has completely neglected it I will continue to go there just because the staff are my friends but if they weren t there I wouldn t be there as well as many of my friends who come there

Great Breakfast by the way.. staff super friendly

Great food,great service,nice ambiance.Im happy.

Dietary restrictions: Great breakfast but ease up on the salt folks on your potatoes. Smoked Meat was AAA quality. This was our first time at this location. Courteous staff. Chargers at booths at plus. Food quality and presentation compared to other competitors was better except for the salt on your home potatoes. Too harsh. Please hold off . Our best Breakfast dining experience in ville st laurent with these power failures. The Hydro Quebec truckers dine down the street which I refuse to go to. It s the principle.

Service was extremely poor . I don t want to be negative it but the waiter had attitude when we asked for our soft drinks 20 minutes after we ordered. The spinach dip was cold and not edible, and the chips were stale. The BBQ smoke meat burger was actually very good and the coleslaw was fresh.

Haven t received attention even there were only 2 tables filled. They dont care about the customers it seems. Just left immediately

Yum, Yum, Yum delicious . Generous portion, more than reasonable price, clean and very kind owner.

Very good service. My meal was excellent and very nice atmosphere.

food was a 2 service was a 2 not going back Food

Benches need refurbishing

Closed at 9 instead of 10pm

Very rude and disrespectful

Quiet restaurant on the other hand was yelled at and forbidden to set foot in the restaurant again by a waitress... It was my husband who paid the bill but unfortunately he decided not to pay tips.. I paid the tip myself but she still forbade us from coming back.. its my favorite restaurant and now I dont I no longer have the right to return Its truly sad

Not good! Too expensive...the service is really bad for the price you pay

Honestly is like 50/50 you never sure what kind of service youre gonna get. Fathers day, had to wait and run down the waiter just to get a glass of water and be served. Waited literally 45 min and the another 45 min for food

Great food the usual smoke meat and Burger. nothing fancy

Showed up on a Friday at 6 pm after we tried calling for a reservation and the number was not working. We were 13 people so understood maybe having to wait around. The waitress there refused to deal with us basically said you have to wait till another waitress gets here. Did not even bring us water and wouldn t even take the kids food order. The other waitress showed up almost 45 min later. She did her best with us so this review does not reflect on her or the food itself when we finally were able to order and received it.

Very nice restaurant! Lunch on weekdays is served very warmly, with excellent value for money. Although there are several customers, it is not noisy so we can chat which is pleasant. What makes the difference is the excellence of the service. A special thank you to Chantal whose warm welcome, surprising memory of our preferences and contagious good humor encourage us to choose this restaurant for our lunches.

Good service Good food

Enjoy your dinner!

Went there August 15 with a friend. She ordered her drink without any alcohol and got served one with it inside. I took a sip from it thinking that it was alcohol free. Was very disappointed when we found there was actually alcohol as I am a minor. After we had paid the waitress, that didnt really wait our table and not to forget seemed as if she was under influence, it was her other coworker who actually served us, she asked me if I was gay. It is really unprofessional to ask questions like that to your customers. You would think one would know that working in the service industry. I had a really bad experience and I wouldnt go again after that night. I am deeply disappointed by the actions of the waitress. The food was good tho, the service not so much.

The service is excellent, except that this time, there were quite a few midges...

I had to have a Montreal Smoked meat sandwich while I was in Montreal for the weekend. I had the Ruben on a pretzel bun and was not disappointed in the least! Best Ive ever had! Took a little longer than I was expecting because it wasnt busy, but it was well worth the wait! The fries, coleslaw and pickle were all delicious as well. Friendly service and clean place. Will definitely go again next time I am in the area

Everything is good

Karma, the boss is not in his business, the plates need to be reheated, I have known the boss for 4 years

Awesome place!!

I like to go to this place because the portions are large and you are satisfied, also the price is reasonable compared to other restaurants, the taste of the food is good, the place is nice I recommend only going during breakfast, the meals are not very good

The only thing edible was the pickle. I got chunks of nervy meat and blobs of fat.

I just had brunch with my family today and our waitress was absolutely adorable (darker blonde hair in a bun). Unfortunately, I caught said waitress being reprimanded by who I assume was her (dark-skinned) supervisor. He was obviously very upset and the whole interaction lasted long enough to affect our waitress (I think she must have cried a little and yet she managed to smile at all the customers). I think this is very unfair treatment because she was the only one serving at the table and no one else around.

Lunch time were quiet and had a peaceful and good meal. Would go there again.

That is very sad since I was a very nice place before

Very good service, excellent food

Amazing waitresswith beautiful eyes lol

Good

Good Smoke Meat

Hello, I have been visiting this restaurant for 5 years and always loved it. But in 2022 the food they give you is no longer the same portion.

It was my first time to eat there. The smoked meat was superb very soft and super tasty. But the steak that we ordered is kinda dry.

Bof

Very good service, good atmosphere

My wife and I used to go to this restaurant 20 years ago. Was an amazing place. Today, after 20 years, we brought our 2 kids to the restaurant for the first time. Wow, not the same place it used to be. Empty dining room on a Saturday evening. Quality of the Food is not great. We got some nearly stale desserts. We are not the type to return food to the kitchen. You have 1 chance to impress us. The 4 of us got bad stomach aches an hour after we left. My advice, if you don t sell a product regularly, take it off the menu instead of serving semi stale food, occasionally. Please, I don t need the administrators to reply to this review. I won t be coming back. The reason for this review is simply to advise the owners of the lack of food quality in their establishment. Yes, I know, Nickels is not a fine dining restaurant but other restaurants serving your type of food have a quality product for the same price and sometimes cheaper. I wish you only the best for the future!!!

Great

Very good burger with milkshake

I liked the smoked meat. Desert to be improve though.

Really inexpensive traditional breakfast menu.

Quality of food has decreased in the last years.

Dry unseasoned chewy meat with cold condiments. Below average fries and a service colder than my drink. My first and last time.

My wife and I went there again today and - if anything - both the food and the service were BETTER. I had my smoked salmon eggs Benedict and my wife had a waffle with fruit. Both were BEYOND DELICIOUS and Ashley our waitress was beyond perfect. I told her that we now have one problem. We have 2 waitresses and one waiter we LOVE so now we have to choose lol. She suggested alternating and we will do that. We are here again now and met one of the owners - the grandfather of the busboy. An incredibly nice person. We love your restaurant even more!

Nice place. Nothing extraordinary but good environment.

Decent food and friendly staff. Restaurant dining is good, but takeout had issues 3 out of 4 times where there was something wrong - no dressing, key salad ingredient missing (like feta cheese in a greek salad), missing chickpeas (no protein)...

Food and service was very good. I had a club sandwich and it was really stuffed with a lot of chicken. Im glad they didnt close down. This is a great place for a family meal or just meeting up with friends.

I havent went since I was like 12 years old . Today Im 35 years old. The prices are good not outrageously high like St Hubert. Food is tasty and of good quality. Place was clean and friendly staff . Will go again for sure .

the nastiest thing ever . Don t go there

Nickels is a good deli, a little old school and probably outdated by newer restaurants. Still I like their smoked meat, milkshakes and variety of food they offer. The price is fair and the quantity is good. Not worth a detour, but its a place we stop before doing groceries nearby

Tonight i went to eat at a childhood restaurant and the waiter we had was horrible and bad attitude. Took around an hour to get our bills to pay. Not only that after I paid the waiter shoved the bill in my chest because I gave 3$ tip. And gave a bad re-mark. Honestly today this restaurant doesnt hold the standard like it did back in the day. I rather stay at home and cook. Very disappointed in the service.

Friday July 15, 2022, at the restaurant I and my partner ordered 2 fillets of sole with salad. I let it be known that my fish was disgusting and the waitress, who was still nice, went to see the cook to tell him. I was charged for only one meal but finished NICKELS.

nice food

Horrible service and below average food

Great service. Fast and tasty

Parking: 30

Very good food. Lack of staff and well done to the one in office. Decor to be refreshed.

The place is welcoming but the food leaves something to be desired, the mixture of ingredients is too greasy, the fries are too dry but the onion rings are very good.

They shouldnt indicate that its open until 11 p.m. if they no longer want to serve us from 10 p.m.

Good

Since new ownership, service and food quality is very good! New owner is very friendly and takes the review very seriously!

The worse service in an empty restaurant. The waitress was so busy socializing. She serves with her airpods and so she cant hear you. You have to run after her. When asked for the missing condiments, you have them rolling their eyes.

There is a special waitress who makes lunches during the week. Even though the restaurant is very busy, we feel welcomed and each of us receives the attention that feels so good in the morning. She is efficient, pleasant and very professional. This waitress is Chantal.

We really like Bombardier midis. The portions are big and it s excellent. The lunchtime waitress on the side bar does an excellent job.

Came all the way from downtown because I grew up in VSL and wanted to go to Nickels. Used to go almost every weekend in my childhood. Today November 5, 2022, arrived and requested a booth. There was two booths empty but not cleaned and the waitress told me that she needed 5min to prepare the booth table for us. I told her no problem, I will wait. Then, 2 guys showed up and she immediately cleaned one booth table for them and gave it to them. I found that disrespectful and we left. It s a shame that she did that but for whoever it happens to them luckily there s a restaurant in the same strip called L oeufrier. People are nice, respectful and the food is great.

Very clean and fast

Very good

Its a nice place, theirs is a bar inside and a playing machine, you can come and eat there and they had a tv, the foods are good as well

Great breakfast I was plaisantly surprised Parking: Lots of parking most of the time though the mall does get busy you might have to park further but you will have a free parking on the lot not the street Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu for smaller portions Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Good for late night snack.

ATTENTION !! This restaurant does not honor the gift card issued by their franchisor Foodtastic, which is also the franchisor of several other restaurant chains (See in the attached photo) I contacted Foodtastic to no avail since they do not hands. $50 lost.

good food

Wonderful to sit a terrace again smoked meat sandwich was awesome and the waitress was a darling friendly girl !!

Very friendly, very clean place, good service

Perfect place, always delicious and fresh!

Fast, courteous service, good lunch, excellent coffee

The owner of nickels doesn t treat the employees well ! he stresses them out when there s a rush and he gets irritated for nothing. Poor employees they get paid minimum wage and he treats them poorly!

Rather calm and I liked it, very nice choices on the menu, for all tastes! Excellent service

Very tasty and great service. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back.

Try the Nickels Benedict eggs, really delicious.

Food is good.

Excellent service great hospitality

That s the portion they give for 13.49$ i went back to the restaurant the indian cook said that s the portion! They added a bit more pasta for this time only its really tragic paying 15$ For this .the waitress was nice but i definitely not recommend this place.

Lots of water in the spaghetti reduced portion bad experience last time I ate at Nickels

Correct and abundant fish and chips. Special lunchtime rates for those aged 65 and over.

great breakfast. very clean premises

Service and food was amazing.

The service is perfect, the food is really good. The best nickels in Montréal. I strongly recommend it.

My visit on August 19, 2021 for dinner with a friend was very pleasant. The welcome, the food and the 5-star service. We had the pleasure of meeting our very friendly and dynamic Marie-Chantale who served us a weekly breakfast before the pandemic. The dish ordered for each: Succulent filet of sole, hot as desired, with perfect steamed vegetables and very good potatoes (fries for my friend and mashed potatoes with garlic for me). I recommend this dish. As a bonus, my friend ordered a slice of the Céline chocolate cake, to share, with tea and coffee! Ive never seen a cake this big... It was very good but we brought some back ;-) Our visits are always pleasant and tasty. P.S. Having tried it once, its true that the spaghetti sauce was a little dull, in line with another review on this subject. On the other hand, it must be said so that the recipe can be improved. So, there you go, its done.

The food was great

Very good breakfast at a very good price

Very good service and the waitress Iwona is very pleasant!

A very delicious breakfast.

Overpriced breakfast, not taking disinfecting seriously.

Everything is good, the pizza, the smoked meat, the fries and the smoked meat spaghetti are excellent. Courteous service also thank you!

Food was good service I dint know cause I have no passport but good food

Went for Sunday brunch. Good food, good portions, good price. Wobbly table, Cream for coffee had turned

Outdated restaurant without any real food.

Best burger Ive had in 6 years in Montreal area. I dont generally like smoked meat sandwiches but here the flavor was awesome!

We found our friendly waitress there who took care of our needs. No need to look for it! Always there at the right time!

Good

Delicious, reasonably priced food in a homely environment. Dining here on Friday nights have almost become a ritual for us!

Fantastic service and staff who make yummy tasting drinks in a great and convenient location

Good value for money

Food is good but a disaster management and service, this place deserve a better management , employees screaming everywhere, chefs in the kitchen yelling at each other , you feel yourself in a low low low low place. NO I DON T RECOMMEND IT

Still good food

Sitting in the restaurant this morning and waiting and waiting and waiting for service. There is only one waitress serving the whole restaurant on weekdays and almost every table is full of dirty dishes as she has no time to clean. Only frequent this joint if you have PLENTY of time to kill.

This was a wonderful restaurant where my family had eaten on September 18th, 2020. The food was delicious and very well cooked, the mashed potatoes were so good, and the gravy had this amazing flavor to it that gave my fries a spice of life. As an added bonus, THEY HAD CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES!!! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a milkshake at a restaurant these days? And my gosh, was it great! The staff were receptive, they were wonderful and kind, and we have made it our promise to eat at this place again when we return to Montreal in 2021. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

I told the guy the portions were not the same and my sauce was watery last time. Instead of helping me he preferred to argue with me. So I hung up. He then called me back repeatedly to argue more and ask why I hung up... I replied that I had no reason to continue ordering food when he didnt care about fixing my concerns. And although I love eating inside this restaurant. I will never be back.
