    What a meal! One of our top chefs just flew in from Italy for a big pastry class we're hosting here in Philadelphia. Naturally, he wanted to try some classic American food, so I gave him the full experience...Philly-style. We hit up a 50s diner that absolutely nailed the vibe neon lights, jukebox, checkerboard floors, the whole retro feel. The service? Fantastic. Friendly, fast, and totally on theme. Now the food... let's just say we went all in. Giant onion rings, chili cheese fries (with a sneaky jalapeño kick), a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, and of course, the one and only Philly cheesesteak. Oh and I can't forget the strawberry milkshake. Rich, creamy, and perfectly nostalgic. But what really blew us away? The world's largest soda fountain I stopped counting after 20 different flavors! This isn't everyday eating (unless you've got a serious metabolism), but for a one-time indulgence or to show off some Americana to your international friends, this spot is a must in Philly.

    Nifty fifty's is always a toss up and that's just because their establishments are always swamped with people. I do prefer this location to the Philly locations. The food is honestly good it's just thrown together most of the time. I can't blame them, they aren't properly staffed for the crowd they attract. The milkshakes are good. This place has always given me Johnny rockets vibes lol. Overall, good place to go for food you just have to be very selective about the time you go.

    Mushroom cheeseburger

    May 19 2023, 3 for lunch - We lived in the area for 12 years long before this was built. We were looking for a hearty burger and shake joint. This is THAT!!! The décor is awesome and nostalgic and you can see in the many pictures. The place is clean and the tables and place settings and glassware also immaculate. Service a little slow, but personable and friendly when it kicks into gear. We got what else? Burgers, cheeseburgers, mushroom cheeseburgers and a load of onion rings. As maybe expected most of it is fried or grille greasy and the rolls were even shiny oily. The burger patties were probably cooked per their standard medium well. (probably the safest option) The onion rings were maybe overcooked or tired/old oil, but not too bad. 6/10 As it appears others have stated..... this is a shake shop that serves burgers and food. These shakes are a flashback to the decadence of the 50s and 60s to a time gone by. Not sure the ingredients ( sweeteners, dairy, gums and preservatives) are as wholesome as back then but they DO TASTE GREAT!!!! We each got one in vanilla, coconut and Oreo cookie. I got the vanilla which was a classic flavor and consistency. My wife and daughter got the other two flavors. BOTH felt there was TOO much sugar and cookies and etc and the coconut tasted like a syrupy Pina Colada per my wife. I always keep it simple. (smile) You would be 500 pounds if you ate this much SOS (salt, oil/fat, sodium) everyday but for a special treat and if you cardiologist approves. This was a neat spot and a lot of fun.

    Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

    Just ate dinner here with my family this week! My parents went in to have dinner at the actual restaurant while I was working. My dad ate the Texas Ringer, which is a burger topped with cheese, bacon, an onion ring, lettuce, and Texas petal sauce! He is very picky and he gave it a thumbs up! He enjoyed it! Of course, it was accompanied by a huge Vanilla milkshake. My parents shared this and said it was one of the best Vanilla milkshakes they had in a while! My mom had a Cheeseburger and fries, which she also enjoyed! The fries were crispy and the onion rings were done well. My parents said it was a very cool environment. My parents did takeout for me to bring home. I ate the Royal Burger, which was a cheeseburger topped with a large onion ring. The burger was thin but juicy, it was kind of like a smashburger. I thought it was yummy, but I should have asked for the free toppings of lettuce and pickles to go with it. I also indulged in a Pumpkin Pie milkshake which was VERY good. It was HUGE, but a great deal for only $7!!! I definitely would go back to try more of their classic diner food and try different milkshake smoothie flavors. I also saw online that they have a traditional soda station so you can order your own soda drinks! So so so cool, I can't wait till I can go in person soon!

    Black raspberry milkshake, my favorite.

    Was so excited a 50s styled diner was coming to the area, relatively "close" to home. Love the little coin machines for prizes (hello nostalgia), loved the uniforms, the music, menu is huge, milkshakes are thick (the way they're supposed to be!) The wait was a bit crazy. The line was wrapped around to the first table, but you can get takeout and eat at an outdoor table or your car. The black raspberry milk shake is so delicious. It's my absolute favorite. The blue raspberry soda is really good too. Love the Texas ringer burger, the petal sauce is tasty, I just wish they would put more on so I get a little extra on the side. The fries are really good, wasn't a fan of the spicy fries but that's OK. The smothered cheesesteak fries are huge and a hit. The chicken nuggets are really good, would like to try the chicken sandwich one of these days. Got a coney island hot dog with saurkraut and chili sauce very good. Overall a great spot, but there is a wait so be mindful of this you might have to order takeout and eat outside or in your car or a local park. Either way, it is worth it!

    Nifty Neon (overload)

    The name says it all. Nifty Fifty's is all about yesteryear around 1950-60, when neon was shining bright across the American landscape and greasy burgers and huge ice cream shakes were the rage. In fact, they really still are, which makes this joint a generational bridge between several epochs of our sweet tooth culture. A Philly regional phenomenon, Fifty feels timeless in its garishness and the perpetual love every generation has for their offerings. Loud, boisterous and overflowing with loud music and runaround kids, this is an experience that is both captivating and annoying. Their burgers, especially the Royal Burger with two large homemade onion rings, are worth the price of admission, and the shakes just as good as you memory admits, while the cacophony and bright lights can bring a migraine. Enjoyed the burger and the black raspberry shake. The fries were crisp, but a bit over salted. Stay clear of the filet mignon as it is nothing like its namesake and not nearly as much fun to eat as the burger. Service from Aidan was fine. He did his best. Aside from that, the experience is classic Americana, if you are ready for the assault on your senses.

Each bite is a delightful blend of texture and flavors that keeps you coming back for more. It's not only the burgers that impress you my friends wait until you dive into any of their milkshake. The black-and-white milkshake or a creamy nostalgic treat, and those crispy fries that are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. The entire experience is elevated by the authentic 80s vibe, making it more than just a meal. It's a journey back in time. I mean if you're not a burger fan, check out their menu those wings look bad ass, their chicken sandwiches, even their cheesesteaks I can go on and on. They even have breakfast options, and you know what they say. Can't start the day without breakfast.

It's a perfect blend of delicious flavors and memorable vibes, ensuring a fantastic dining experience from start to finish.

This was my chance, one person in the eatery when I was walking in. Seemed like he was frustrated because the self serve kiosk was not working or he was having problems with it. I went to the other kiosk and started my order since no one came to help him. I got my order in and went to pay and the credit card pin pad was not in a state to accept cards. I started to get frustrated maybe because I was starting to get hangry. The worker came out and I explained to him the machine was not taking my card.

We will definitely give it a weekend try, just in case it was an off night. Tip: I was not a fan of sitting in the half booth tables right by the hostess stand. It was extra dark and it felt more like where you sit while waiting for your actual table. Ask to be seated further in the dining room...it is really cool inside! Big parties can even get seated IN a birdcage!
