I've been to Nickels a handful of times in my travels to Montreal... It's decor tries to recreate the feel of a '50s diner, but I noticed they play newer music through the sound system. The burgers are ok, and that's being generous. Fries aren't anything more then frozen $1 fries, you'd get at the market The waitstaff has ranged from "Ok - Pretty Rude." I'd recommend it for people looking more for value over quality. Mostly I'll use it for mid-drinking-day food fill up, when I don't want McDonald's.
