I was craving a good burger recently, and we landed on Nifty Fiftys for lunch. Honestly I wish we made the drive out to the location on Grant Ave. The seating was kind of uncomfortable and didn't fit my expectations. They went for an open concept and had many high top chairs, I prefer the booths. They have the a decent variety of meals to choose from. I settled with a double bacon cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, onions. My husband got their Texas ringer and a side of cheese fries. Our food was mediocre to say the least, maybe it's just nostalgia but I remember the Grant Ave locations food being top tier. read more

This location may be short staffed or something, but when we arrived we stood at the hostess desk for about 15 minutes and were never acknowledged or greeted. The staff seemed to be focused only on takeout orders. We couldn't even get anyone's attention to ask about a table or the wait time. After standing there for a while with no assistance, we decided to leave and go somewhere else. read more

Going out to eat on a Friday night is a real treat or...it should be. The servers here are overwhelmed. My burger was forgotten and brought out wrong long after my family finished eating. The food was, overall, lousy once received. And to top it off the milkshakes were runny. Super disappointing as we really like the other PA locations. We won't return to this one. read more

Came in for lunch with my mom. The restaurant was empty and we were seated right away. Waiter was super friendly and fast to get us what we needed. We shared onion rings, cheese fries and a black and white milkshake. I got a cheeseburger and she got chicken nuggets. Food was delicious. I literally couldn't stop eating the cheese fries- they were so good. Everything was cooked fresh and came out hot. I would come back again and recommend for some burgers, fries and shakes. read more

Friendly, quick service. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed, but the restaurant had a fun vibe with the old fashion style. The milkshakes were great but a little too sweet. read more

Nifty Fifty's - Butterscotch Krimpet - Burgers Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

The service is the absolute worst. Even if you order ahead, expect to wait for pickup. No organization and the staff could care less about the customers. Make sure you don't add any gratuity in advance, you'll regret it. Better yet.. go somewhere else altogether. read more

Stopped here randomly after a shopping outing with my daughter and was overwhelmingly disappointed. At about 2 pm on a weekday afternoon we wanted a quick lunch. I ordered a hot dog and onion rings. She ordered a cheeseburger and cheese fries. We both opted for chocolate milk shakes. The food took a surpassingly long time to arrive. When it finally came the only thing warm was the fries. My hot dog and onion rings were inedible. After one bite I pushed them both to the side. Her cheese fries were yummy and I picked at those while I drank my milkshake. When the server asked how things were I expressed my disappoint. She asked if I wanted them to remake the food. I declined because I had a car appointment. The shortly afterward the waitress asked if I was ready to settle the bill. I informed her I'd settle after she adjusted for the inedible food. She reluctantly did and I paid and left. Not returning. read more

Came here this evening with my husband. We ordered the Birthday milkshake, large cheese fries, the Texas BBQ Ringer and a Mushroom Swiss Burger. The prices were very reasonable. Service was excellent. Staff was very attentive and kind. We felt very welcomed. The wait on a Friday evening was about 25 minutes for a table of 2. This place is still feeling the hype from being very new. We liked the Philly sports teams painted on the walls and the picture of the skyline hanging up inside. We parked in the Michael's parking lot and walked down Old York. Didn't even try to find parking around the restaurant because we knew it would be packed. You can park in the Montgomery County Court parking lot across the street but that's limited too. Don't try parking on the street because you'll get towed. They do have signs warning you to not park on the side street so pay attention. This place is perfect for the neighborhood. Residents can walk here to order takeout or hang around and wait for a table. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back again soon. read more

I really wanted to live this fun, oldies diner and parts of it were great. The atmosphere is good and the service was attentive. The best part of the meal was the milkshakes. I had a mocha malted and it was excellent! Very thick with a deep rich chocolate dominated flavor. The rest of the meal was just ok. I had a burger and it was ok. The patty was a smash burger and it was fine. The tomato was ok but the lettuce was not. Didn't fit well and wasn't fresh. The most disappointing thing was the bun. It was stale and detracted from the overall product. We also got fries and rings. Fries were just ok. Shoestrings that were just meh in flavor. The rings were crispy but also the flavor was just ok. Overall, I would recommend going for a milkshake snack (they have a zillion different flavors, although mostly comprised of syrup flavors and not different ice creams) but would skip the rest. read more

The burger was dry, crumbly, flavorless, the bread was stale and thin almost like middle school field trip lunch. My friend had to put seasonings in her ketchup and fries. The service was mediocre at best. The ambience was nice but the restaurant was filthy. 4/10 read more

Dined in for lunch today. We were sat pretty quickly. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Food came out pretty quick despite the fact that the establishment was pretty busy for lunch. Food was hot and good but of course the best part is always the milkshake. Let me tell you it was the perfect consistency. Service, food and atmosphere all A++ read more

My husband picked up the food and drove home less than 1 mile. The french fries were cold and soggy and had no taste. My hamburger had no condiments on it. It was hard as a rock.. The onion rings and bacon cheeseburger were OK. This is the second bad food Experience from nifty 50s. I have been going to the one on Grant Avenue and it's always been fine. I was so excited when I heard they were coming to Abington. Would not recommend it and will not return. read more

Plus: the milkshake was very good. Minus: one waits forever to be waiting on for takeout. Kinda ruins the whole experience. The folks behind the counter just don't have much customer service orientation. read more

Very good burgers and a great selection of sodas! The loaded crab cheese French fries are to die for! I recommend this place. It can get very busy, but if you go late in the evening you'll find a parking spot in the location. Ambiance is very nice like a 50's soda and burger spot. read more

I'm glad that this chain came to the neighborhood. My first takeout experience was mixed. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. Nifty Fifty's burgers can go one of two ways. They can either be quite good or horribly dry. This one was quite good. Unfortunately, onion rings were quite bad. I think someone forgot the seasoning. They were incredibly bland. Parking is going to be a major issue at this location. I went at what should have been an off time and just barely snagged a spot. There aren't many obvious alternative places to park. read more

I end up ordering Turkey cheeseburger but I ended up getting diarrhea from that so guys thumbs down on that. Eat at your own risk

The service was good. We got the food pretty quick. I also like the interior of the restaurant. But the food had so problems. I ordered a cheesesteak with wiz and it had no cheese on it. Other than that all the food was good read more

The food was terrible and the servers could care less about working there. I understand if you don't like your job, but I don't need to feel like a hindrance when I'm paying money to eat average food. Will never be back. read more

I took my daughter to this new location for dinner as a reward. The staff were pleasant and quick with the service. The cheese fries were good as usual. The inside reminded me of all the other locations. The milkshakes are absolutely the best!!!!! read more

Nifty Fifty's - Death By Chocolate Milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

This location that we went to was super fun and the food was good too. I loved the scenery of the checkered walls and the red booths. The music was from the 50's which really set the vibe. I got the chicken tenders and they were very good, and we also ordered a large fry and you definitely get a lot of fries which is so worth it. The service was good as well, we had a very friendly and helpful waitress. We ordered one chocolate milkshake to share and she was kind enough to ask if we wanted it split into 2 cups. For me it being split was a just enough. Overall, I am definitely coming back!! read more

Nifty Fifty's - Burgers Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

Growing up here in the suburbs of Philadelphia, there are those places you hear of from people who've traveled quite a bit, and have eaten at various restaurants. The first time I had heard of Nifty Fifty's, was from friends with whom I was going roller skating at The Palace on Roosevelt Boulevard. One day, we finally went. Man... the burgers were so good, as was the fries and onion rings. Fast forward to today, and one has opened up in Abington, making it a shorter drive than heading to the Grand Avenue location. I took my brother, and he likes the food there too. I had no idea that they had EIGHT locations. Good! Trust me, try it at least once. If you're a fan of old fashioned burgers, fries, and shakes, this is a great spot to get all three! Five stars. read more

The staff was great. There is plenty of extra parking in the surrounding lots after 5PM each night. The chicken cheese steak with fried onions and cheddar is highly recommended. read more

Waited for someone at the take out counter for 10 minutes while everyone was talking. Finally got someone's attention to pick up my milkshake and it was frozen. When I asked for a spoon they "ran out" of spoons. Wouldn't be a big deal if the staff wasn't so rude. read more

Not consistent preparation of roasted chicken sandwich. Thin breast. Has been over cooked 2 of 3 takeouts. Fries are soggy & too browned. Will not order again. read more

I have never eaten at any of the locations and got nervous about ordering take out from this new location because of the low star rating. I'm so glad we took the risk- everything was excellent and delicious. Instantly adding it to our rotation and so thrilled that it's close by. read more

Food was take out so we waited . Burgers were done, French fries were sitting for who knows how long they kept packing and unpacking our order don't know why since they were waiting on my onion rings. When we got home you would have thought they had been playing catch with the burgers. And to top it off there has to be 20 kids just standing around doing nothing. There were about 4 people actually working? I was so excited to have this open here since I grew up in North East Philly at the one on Grant and the Blvd. it's been awhile since I was there so maybe that one is just as bad. I'd be hard pressed to go back. We have Main Street Grill right here in Jenkintown and they have a great cheeseburger. read more

Horrible!! Ordered food to go when I got there my order wasn't ready .. which is perfectly fine I asked the young lady instead of the sweet tea could I get a milkshake instead.. The reply was oh well then I need to change it on the bill ? Ok and ?? I didn't order online and prepaid I called it in like us older folks do and was going to pay in cash . So that to me is lazy !! Oh and my sweet tea had no sweet to it and warm as pee! I'm local and will never go back!! read more

Takeout service very slow. Employees inept and disinterested. Takeout service very slow. Employees inept and disinterested.

I went to this location a few months ago over the weekend . the food was ok, the waitress seem nice. she complimented my kids. I paid with my debit card and gave the waitress a $20 tip in cash, my bill was under $50. The next day I notice on my bank account debit statement they added an additional $20 to my bill after It was already written with the signed amount. Pay attention when you go here they are very slick. Never going back, too slimy definitely will lose customers being greedy and scammy. read more

Retro ambiance! Good prices but food not great! Cheeseburgers good, chilli burger not so good, definitely don't order a cheesesteak! On a good note French fries good and onion rings good! First time here for lunch! read more

THEY NEED TO WORK ON CUSTOMER SERVICE, i sat there for 10 mins waiting to be served, i literally just got up and got myself a cup of soda from the machine myself and just tried the different flavors, no one even came to us with a menu and I literally made eye contact with numerous staff members, just shows you how much they care think about what theyre doing to your food read more

Friendly staff! Excellent food and service! Grateful to have a location close to home. Will return!

The store needs help food service, and ambience. Stuck in a small space with employees who are not helpful. How hard is it to write the order and bring what you asked for The staff is more concerned about their tips, then giving a condiments or napkins or straw to drink your milkshake and huff and puff when asked for the basics that come with the meal More staff stood around talking, we assume with the manager in the back and full view of what little bit of people that were in the restaurant waiting for their food that was sitting while others talked This is our third attempt they've lost us for good It's a shame these cheap shabby restaurants are opening up in Abington taking up valuable space and impacting our traffic on old York Road It might've been different if you left the place happy and content whether you were picking the food up or eating in And for picking up your food cold and soggy and if you ordered milkshakes, they're going to be warm and watery that's what you get at nifty 50s attitude from their staff read more

After lines out the door, we all (4 people) anticipated this restaurant's opening day. But, with such high prices and small portions, our meal was a big disappointment. The server was new, but wasn't made aware of a couple of questions we had and gave the wrong answers. So, one of our orders came to us wrong. It took so long to get it remade that we asked to get the burger to go. We won't be back. read more

Totally enjoyed our burgers and the onion rings were delicious. Best we've had in a very long time. My friend had the black and white milk shake and he said it was delicious. Service was great. It's a bit noisy but it's that kind of place. Will definately return. read more

The service was horrible at this location. After my boyfriend and I were seated it took 15 minutes for the hostess to realize our waitress hadn't greeted us. She asks if we wanted water, which after waiting another 15 min the waters never came nor the waitress. Another waitress working the next table didn't even have the decency to check on us either after her table was cleared. My boyfriend and I got up and left and went to another location where the FOOD and SERVICE was great. read more

The food was delicious. Onion rings were a bit eh but it was a busy day so I'll let it slide. We waited for quite some time before the server came to take our order, but again, it was a busy day so I'll let it slide. The restaurant was clean as it just opened not too long ago and they seem to be maintaining it. I definitely recommend this place. read more
