Very Casual.

The Triple Nickel's greatest usefulness is that it's the closest real restaurant to Pelican Park, where most North Shore youth athletic teams play their games. After the game, the kids and the coaches are hungry for the likes of burgers, sandwiches, fried seafood, and salads. Which is what they have here, along with some daily specials.
The portions are large and the seafood is fried to order. The hamburgers are served in many variations. Although there's nothing wrong with any of the food here, none of it stands out, either. If your quest is for the best seafood or hamburger in Mandeville, this might not be it.
It opened in 2003 with a hamburger that cost $5.55, hence the name. (It's now about $7.) The original owner of the place now runs the Rusty Pelican in Mandeville.
It's a utilitarian space in a strip mall, with paraphernalia from local sports teams dominating the decor.

Daily specials
The seafood is the best specialty. The ham and turkey sandwiches are to be avoided.
