Today I stopped for lunch at Nickels and as soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a charming waitress who then assigned me a booth. Off to a good start! I was a bit late for breakfast, but otherwise the rest of the menu was available and varied. There are several smoked meat choices... it reminds me of the old Deli Chenoy's. A nice little moment of nostalgia. In the end I ordered a Classic Cheeseburger plate. And honestly, it was very good, the patty was huge, the ingredients fresh... The only little thing I would have added would be a signature sauce, but they offer the classic condiments at the tables anyway. Ps; Breakfasts are really good too. I highly recommend! The service was still quite fast. My waitress was super nice and smiling. My plate was really very good. It's not Deli Chenoy's... But we're really not far off! Keep it up gang! 7.5/10 Thanks! xx

Very good meal and excellent service. It was the first time I had a skillet breakfast and it won't be the last! I really liked the "Southwest". Not to be missed: the cake display case when entering the restaurant. I couldn't help bringing a piece home!

Very good Asian salad and my daughter loved her lasagna. The service was good but the waitress seemed too busy. They didn't ask us to fill out a register when we arrived. The parking lot was full because of the movie theater. Prices are good and so are the portions.

Service is lacking a bit, but our breakfast was very good. Nickels Breakfast 👌 Nickels Omelettes 👌 Le Junior 👌 Fruit avalanche with pancake is HUGE 😅 Very good but Watch out for pancake cooking, out of 3 there was one okay, one undercooked in the middle and one burnt. Breakfast potatoes ❤❤❤
