We had such an amazing experience at Nifty Fifty’s (Northeast Philadelphia location), and a huge part of that was because of our server Kayla W. and staff member Danny! We were traveling from Boston, and Kayla was one of the many incredibly hospitable people we met in Philadelphia — but she truly stood out. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, bubbly, attentive, and so personable. Her menu recommendations were perfect, and she checked back with us just the right amount to make sure everything was great without ever feeling rushed. After we went to Otherworld (which is right across the street), Kayla even gave us super curated milkshake recommendations that were exactly what we needed. She was happy to chat with us about our trip and our experience, and you could tell she genuinely cares about her guests. She’s clearly very hardworking and absolutely amazing at what she does. Danny was also incredibly kind and welcoming, adding to the overall fun and friendly vibe of the place. Together, they made our visit feel special and memorable. Between the great food, the fun atmosphere, and the outstanding service, this was such a highlight of our trip. Kayla deserves major recognition — if you’re lucky enough to have her as your server, you’re in for a great time!
We had such a great visit on February 10th! Even though I always have a great visit here, but they really made my son’s birthday breakfast meal special! I am forever grateful! Thank you, Nifty’s staff and customers! I wish I could upload the video. Thank you all so much again! And a special thank you and shout out to Jackie for amazing the service.
I had dinner here a few weeks ago with my sisters because we noticed it right across the street as we were leaving Otherworld and loved the classic theme and aesthetic from the outside. When we got inside we were in no way disappointed. Despite being a very busy holiday weekend we waited no more than 10 minutes to be seated because the entire staff stayed attentive and productive. Our waitress, (maybe named Kylee, it was a few weeks ago, I don't remember for certain) was so sweet and helpful and made sure we wanted for nothing. Though the food itself wasn't anything amazing, it certainly wasn't bad, especially considering the price and how quickly it was served. There is an enormous selection of milkshakes, and each of the three flavors my sisters and tried were so good that we'll definitely stop back to try more flavors the next time we're in the area.
Kayla was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we sat down at Nifty Fifty’s, she was so friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Our food came out perfect, drinks were always refilled, and she made the whole experience even better with her great attitude and smile. You can tell she really cares about her customers. Thank you, Kayla, for such great service…we’ll definitely be back!
My sister and I ate here during our foodie weekend and grabbed two milkshakes! 10/10 omg it was so good! We will be back for another one and the fries were pretty good. Overall the diner was nice, clean and the staff was friendly.
A Nostalgic Gem If you want a true 1950s time capsule, this is it. The neon lights, sparkly red booths, and counter stools create the perfect retro vibe. The food is made-to-order and far superior to standard fast food. They have burgers, fries and massive milkshake menu. They serve a solid breakfast that hits the spot. It’s fast, fresh, and perfectly nostalgic. A must-visit for a real diner experience!
So pleasantly surprised. This place is CLEAN. No smears or fingerprints on windows, no crumbs on tables or booth seats, no dust on ceiling fans or vents. And the food!!!! Omelette, hot dog, fries, hashbrowns, lots of flavor and NO GREASE. Everything came out exactly how we ordered it, and with a smile. Waitress Ruth and another employee Angelo were friendly and attentive. $25 for two people and leftovers. This place is top notch, check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!!!
Food was good, cheese fries a little bit undercooked but was still acceptable. Server was PHENOMENAL. Had a group of 12 and he served quick, tended to us many times, made sure we were ok, very polite, absolute G of a guy. Kenny Jr. Highly recommend requesting him when coming here. Great experience.
Destiny was amazing!! She welcomed us and was very hospitable. She was very attentive when serving us! We also had a great experience with Kayla and Justin. Everyone we encountered was very good-natured and friendly!
Kayla, was our waitress. From the moment she approached our table she was extremely pleasant and friendly! We had a table full of hyper 10 yr old boys (one was the birthday boy) and she handled them like a total pro! She even had everyone come sing Happy Birthday. We ended our night here and she definitely made the end of the birthday night wonderful!
Fun little spot, very alive. Amazing, filling food. Had the cheese steak. Massive filled roll! Packed with flavor, you can add most condiments, without extra charge. Had to take to go. Jen was awesome! Very helpful with us. Milkshakes are a must. Definitely would eat here again, to try something else.
We always come to nifty fifty’s but the last time we went we had exceptional service from our waitress Dominique she chatted with us while checking in on every table doing the same thing as well as giving my little one a sticker. I do appreciate the great service and after we were leaving out she traded my dollars in for quarters with no problem. At the end the manager checked in on me to make sure my service was great (you don’t always get that) but I definitely appreciate it and I will be asking for her the next time we stop by 😊
This place is absolutely incredible! I had a double mushroom Swiss burger with sautéed onions, a strawberry milkshake and the Nifty fries which I shared with my guest who had a cheeseburger. EVERYTHING was mouthwateringly delicious, prompt, and hot! Ciara our server was super friendly and very accommodating. The prices were reasonable but the experience was exceptionally all around. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nifty Fifty's for great food and a great time!
Took my niece and nephew here after going to "Otherworldly" across the street. We enjoyed it, the kids realllllly did. There are a plethora of milkshake options to choose from. Some of which were very unique. We sat at the counter because it was available immediately. Nice choice of seating. The milkshake portions are quite large so our server suggested I get one for the kids to split. I appreciated that! Food was tasty and satisfying. Will be back!
Nifty Fifty's has been one of, if not my favorite restaurant. After the location in Bensalem burned down, I was distraught, but luckily this location is just how I remember the other one being. Let's start with the food, my beloved Nifty Fifty's cheese wiz. If it's your first time coming, I'd recommend the fries no matter what. They're well-seasoned, almost always fresh, and go perfectly with their cheese wiz. As far as sandwiches, I'd recommend their fried chicken cutlet. It comes on a kaiser roll with cheese wiz and pickles, and that's all it needs. Everything (from my experience) is always fresh, and tastes just as good as the last time I had it. There's also a mountain of soda and milkshake options, which makes me believe that they're using some sort of spells behind the kitchen. I'm a little mixed on the atmosphere. On one hand, it's clean, it looks like a diner from the 50s, and it's comfortable. But on the other, when it's busy the seating can get quite uncomfortable. One time, there was a large party that was loud and disrespectful, and the seating didn't help as we were practically sitting WITH them. Wasn't fun. Other than the seating, I believe Nifty Fifty's is the best place around for 'junk food'. I've never had bad service here, and I will be looking forward to any new locations. I love this place with all my tiny little putrid heart.
This place offers excellent customer service. You are greeted and taken to your table. With a suggestion to enjoy your meal. The quality of the food and the wide variety of selections is top notch. They offer over 100 selections of milk shakes. Their loaded fries are like no other. The onion rings are so large until you will wonder where did they get these onions. Our sever Riley made sure we were satisfied. She made suggestions and delivered timely. The servings are plentiful and the food is delicious. It was so good until I’m looking forward to going back soon. Although at times it may appear crowded. They will get you in and served efficiently with great food and service.
Yeah, you should eat here. Around 11 on a Saturday it’s not too busy and you’ll get a seat. The service is quick and the burgers come out steaming hot. Breakfast is served until 12 in the afternoon. ⭐️🍪You may want to wait to get the milkshakes, to go. They are big and will fight for a spot in your belly with the food. Enjoy your time there 👍🏽
Nifty Fifty is a great spot—especially since it’s open late at night. It definitely surprised us with its charming 50s-style diner vibe, but what really stood out were the milkshake options. We tried the Brownie Cookie Batter milkshake and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough milkshake—both were delicious. We also ordered cheese fries and a small chicken nuggets, and just a heads-up—the portions are huge! We got smalls and still couldn’t finish everything, even while splitting it. The staff was friendly, though it did take a bit to get water and place our order. I’d definitely go back when a solid milkshake craving hits. The fries were decent—nothing mind-blowing—but the seasoning on the chicken nuggets was a little odd and might catch some people off guard. I personally liked it.
We went on 4/21/24. It was super busy and packed. I was expecting a long wait for a seat and food. Surprisingly we were seated fairly quickly and since we already knew what we wanted were able to place our food order with the drink order. Our food came fairly quickly and we were pretty much in it. The food was delicious. The fries were the best I've had in a long time. The cheeseburger was typical. Still delicious. My daughter enjoyed the chicken fingers
First time dining at Nifty Fifty’s for me and my friend. Our waitress was Kylee she was sweet and friendly. My friend got belgian waffle and banana cream pie shake. I had hamburger with fries and mango shake. Were both agreed the shake was too sweet. My burger was dry and no flavor, the buns toast a bit too long I wanted just to warm up no need them to toast it till the rim of the bun was crispy.
Current Google rating: 4.3 at the time of this review. This diner is supposed to take you back in time, to a certain era. Although it appears that it does, it doesn’t at the same time. Don’t get me wrong though with this review, it’s still a decent diner. The diner has a ton of neon lights displayed in the windows, it’s a bit much. The inside has some great tables and booths. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The bathroom could use a little attention to cleanliness. The food was good, a bit better than average. Plenty of parking here as well. Seems like a popular place to go to. I would return back, I wouldn’t make it my purpose, but I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t go back.
Came in to grab to-go milkshakes to enjoy with my husband. We ordered two milkshakes from the cashier Kayla who was very nice! No complaints there. My husband ordered Pineapple Cheesecake Funfetti. My milkshake was fine, but his tasted off. It tasted like there may have been soap still in the blender. I send my husband back into the store to exchange the milkshake or get it refunded, we did not drink it at all except for a sip to taste it. Tommy the manager was very rude. Upon describing the situation, he looked at my husband and said “Those are the chances we take, son.”, attempting to “little boy” my husband. For context, my husband is black, and this manager was an older white man. The reason I mention this is because we know that the Nifty Fifty’s on Aramingo Ave got hit with a racial discrimination lawsuit, and they have a history of racism. We feel that the reason he was treated this way was racially motivated. Please do better.
Ordered filet mignon sandwich, cheese fries and chicken tenders. The server brought out our order- which was wrong. The stated she saw they put the things on the sandwich my husband had requested removed and asked if that was OK... Acknowledging that the dish was not as it was ordered. The chicken tenders were absolutely disgusting. I think it was a fish fry batter? Extremely dry. My child wouldn't eat it, and honestly-I couldn't either... The fries, awful. The cheese sauce absolute trash. Thought we would be safe with these choices. We weren't. Server came back to ask if we wanted a box for all the food untouched-i told her it belongs in the trash. She asked if we wanted a refund which I said yes that would be amazing thank you. She then came back and said the manager didn't want to.... Don't go here. It's gross and not edible.... And now we have a starving toddler
