I like this place. As soon as you walk in, you get a bit of nostalgia. The food is great, so far no complaints. I always order via takeout because I’m usually traveling with family and we like to eat at the hotel but every time we are in the area we make sure we stop in for some food. My wife ordered the wrong thing one time and we still enjoyed it. I would recommend getting a milkshake

We stopped at Nifty Fifty's on 420. We ordered the spicy and cheese chicken nuggets. They were delicious. Ashley and Natalie helped us find what we needed. They helped get everything we needed. Both of the girls were very friendly and pleasant and had no problem making sure we had a pleasant experience.
We love the decor and the building..
A definite must try...

I love this place. I had the cheese steak and fries for the first time, and it was really good. My friends food temperature was not up to par. The waitress had the manager come over. He apologized, quickly resolved our issue, and everyone was happy. My first timers are looking forward to returning to Nifty Fifty's. Thank you, everyone, for making our visit pleasant.

The pros:
The milkshakes are very good. We got the chocolate banana peanut butter and the almond one. Both were very good. The chocolate banana PB one was my favorite (it had real banana chunks in it). It they only served milkshakes, I would give a 5 star review!
The regular fries were good. Not the best fries I have had but probably better than McDonald's or Burger Kings.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, there was a fairly attentive host, who recorded who showed up when to try and sat people in order.
Cons:
The wait for a table was quite long, and there was very little room in the entry area.
I got the mushroom swiss burger because of some good reviews about it. The burger was very lackluster. Despite the menu saying that fresh mushrooms are used, I am fairly confident that canned mushrooms were used. Overall, I believe a burger from Burger King or McDonald's is just as good (and the same level of unhealthy). So, there is no reason not to go to one of them unless the primary reason for coming here is to get a milkshake. Still, I would order one to go if that is the main reason.
The spicy fries are not very good. There is a ton of seasoning dumped on top, and it tastes mostly of paprika and chili powder. I ended up rubbing most of it off with a knife before eating it. I also tried someone else's cheese fries and can confirm that they use cheese whiz, it tastes terrible.

This place is always great. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike. All of the staff are always joyous! The food is good but one of my favorite items on the menu is the burgers. I love most of the items available for breakfast and dinner. The pancakes are really tasty as well so if you are a breakfast person there is something for everyone on the menu. The atmosphere is always lively and the service never disappoints. Also this is a very affordable place to eat.

First time here. Employees were very nice n welcoming, the atmosphere was very pleasant. Texas burger was really good. Cheese steak was pretty good, cheese fries were good, and the milkshake was awesome. They have a lot of options. Will definitely be back to try out more food/shakes

this place was one of our favorite places during our trip to Philly, crazy as it may seem. it's not the Ritz Carlton and I don't think they pretend to be . the dining room was very active and there were people running all over the place which made for an exciting and entertaining meal! food was wonderful! definitely ordered way more than we should've but everything coming off the line looked so good. Staff was incredible. and our server, Eileen, should be a National Treasure. she is definitely worth the visit by herself! Shakes are terrific and were served in an awesome reusable cup. if you are traveling through Philadelphia, do yourself a favor and stop in...even if it's just for one of the crazy shake combos! 10 stars IMO
