Nifty Fifty's (northeast Philadelphia)

I usually stop by for the burger, fries and shakes which are outstanding all the time. I have gone to breakfast many times and they never disappoint. Back when there was a number of fifties style restaurants around Nifty Fifty’s is the only one that remains in this area today. The reason is the food is good and affordable. The staff is always friendly and prompt.

POST#405 This diner chain has been in my sights for about 5 years. The decor and the vibes are very mid century.. Neon lights, the smell of gourmet beef and motor oil( 'my vision of the 50 's ' Very positive and uplifting family environment. Our server Serenity was super attentive and she suggested we try the sea salt caramel shake which is by far the best milkshake I have ever had. The filet mignon sandwich was surprisingly better than the swiss mushroom burger with half of it being sopping with grease taste wise. Overall a great experience and must try milkshakes.

Food was okay, and after we ordered it took about an hour to actually get our burgers and the chili cheese fries. The chili cheese fries were delicious though, and our flavored sodas were tasty. My husband's peanut butter-chocolate-banana shake was soooo freaking good. Our waitress was very nice, and it looked like they were crazy busy and maybe short-handed.

We used to come here all the time but lately the Grant Avenue location is so busy and the line is so long we haven’t been in a while. However, that’s for dinner time. We decided to try it for breakfast the other morning and we got seated right away. We had a very nice waitress… I believe her name was Jackie. It seems like she has been there a while. She was really nice and took her order and make sure we were good and our drinks are filled, etc. the food was just as good as I had remembered it was. My husband got an omelette and I got eggs hashbrowns and scrapple. Delicious!

No wait time to be seated. The wait staff very friendly. One ordered hot dog and fries with raspberry lemonade (loved it). I ordered cheeseburger and onion rings with a peach mango soda. The food was delicious. I also ordered strawberry milkshake and a strawberry shortcake milkshake and chicken nuggets to go. This was so good I recommend you go get something even if it's to go. You won't regret it but do the happy dance.
