    Scrapple and cheese on a kaiser
    Veronica K.

    This is somewhat of a hybrid review for both this location in particular and the chain as a whole. Their milkshakes are amazing, but everything else is extremely overrated in almost every way. Is the food cheap? Sure, but it adds up since most entrees do not come with any sides or drinks. Is the food good? Sometimes. Most of it is very basic stuff you can get at any diner. The only things that are really unique are the soda fountain and the milkshake options. This particular location is a bit crazy. The parking lot is so tiny it's nerve wracking, and you'll likely be worried about hitting another car since they're all packed in like sardines. If it's a weekend afternoon, forget about it, you'll never find a spot. The crowds really keep me away, since the wait is just insane and there's always a line. If you want something from here I suggest getting takeout. So to sum it all up - yes, I'll order takeout milkshakes from this location. I don't think I will ever do a sit down meal here again.

    I've never heard of this place, but my friend recommended it as we were traveling from Walmart back to our hotel not too far away, and we were glad we did so. The full vibe was like walking into an old school 50s diner. It was such a cool experience. The decor to the cups and everything was so 50s diner. Super cute. The service was great! We were welcomed, seated upon arrival, the waitress was training and informed us of that prior to beginning to take our order. She was very efficient, very knowledgeable, and helpful as well. The food we ordered a bacon cheeseburger, chicken cheesesteak, Texas burger, a chili dog and smothered crab fries. The food was cooked fresh, you could tell. The burgers were hand pressed on the grill. The fries fresh cut. The veggies were fresh. This place was amazing! The price point was also very good and affordable. If I'm ever around another location, I'd definitely come back cuz i know the food is going to be good. See pics below.

    The area is still trashy and crowded,but the food always has new things. Even though, just a burger and fries and shake cost $21... the name of the place now stands for you're going to spend a nifty $50 on just dinner for 2...

    This is a good little place in Folsom. You can't compare it to a luxury meal but the prices are low and for the money the food is solid. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. it is laid out like a Johnny Rockets. Overall for the price I'm a fan.

    OMG!!! Everything was amazing! Ariana was our server. She was so sweet and attentive. The food was delicious will definitely be back.

    Fries and shakes

    First off "Emily" was our server and she was superb!!! So, I traveled from King of Prussia to visit Nifty Fifties on Macdade. I'm from Delco so it was nostalgic for me. Some things have definitely changed. I used to bring my kids here all the time when they were small. Now I was bringing my youngest son and my Grandson. It's not as Kid Friendly as it used to be Besides the gumball machines costing dollars instead of cents..... lol I was disappointed when I noticed there is NO KIDS MEAL listed anywhere on the menu or even the kids coloring page. And if your kid want a milk shake.... You have to buy their giant full sized milkshakes that cost $7.50 or more .... NO Exceptions!! My grandson is 7! It would literally be unhealthy for him to finish this! And since I live so far! The idea of taking it home is a joke. The milkshakes are still great by the way and so are the fries but I think it's sad that the kids aren't as important as they used to be. And lastly .... I must mention.....They got this kid there named "David." I couldn't help but notice how diligent and hardworking he was. They are lucky to have him. Good help is hard to find.

    I thought I would've loved my burger but it was just OK, nothing special at all and barely any seasoning. The onion rings were good though and seasoned very well. I may try them again when I'm back in town only because my family said they're good is delicious.

Since there were no available tables outside, we were placed inside in a corner table with no air circulation. The humidity felt unbearable and really played a major impact on my experience. I'm sure if I came during a mid spring day I would've had a better experience. Food: the food is the only reason I would come here again. I got a crab cake that was very robust with a fair amount of filler but had a good amount of real crabmeat. My son got the quesadilla, and it wasn't anything special. The salmon was small and flavorful. Service: also was not anything special or bad. Our waitress came by twice during our stay. It was a busy afternoon and she was working. It would've been good if they had more staff so that someone could refill our water more frequently. Like I said, the humidity had taken away from our experience. Overall, I wouldn't come here throughout the hot, humid summer months, but I may give it a second try in the winter or spring... maybe.

Let them know I'm right down the street and just need a 5 minute notice and they would call back when it wasn't busy - they called me back in less than 30 minutes and said ready in 10 minutes. I love the fact that if they are too busy and can't accommodate at that time they're honest. It's a small family business the Mom is the host and probably one of my favorites she is like old school south Philly meets Mother Theresa! The chef is a perfectionist and I always try at least one special and have never regretted it. I am utterly amazed each time at the dishes he comes up with. Overall price wise they cannot be beat, huge portions and every bite was heavenly. Where can you get this much fresh, delicious food for under $100 no where except New American Bistro. It's also extremely rare to get take out and it be as good as served in the restaurant. The beet with pistachio encrusted goat cheese salad with raspberry dressing. This salad had it all! Everything was so fresh and crisp. There were so many bursts of flavor. This was a special hopefully it will be added to the menu. Rating: 5/5 Spicy crab chowder - we always order. It's my husband's favorite soup. Rating: 5/5 Blackened Scallops with Raviolis and Lobster Sauce - we always order. Appetizer size comes with 4 blackened scallops and a couple ravioli. Rating: 5/5 Maryland crab cake with Ravioli and pesto sauce. This was my first time trying and typically does not get pesto dishes. This had so much flavor and was refreshing if that makes any sense. Appetizer size comes with a very large crab cake and a couple ravioli. Rating: 5/5 Gnocchi's with Jumbo Lump Crabmeat and Gorgonzola Sauce- this is my absolute favorite dish. The Gorgonzola sauce you could drink. I dip the homemade bread in the sauce after. It's my favorite. I'm a huge Gorgonzola fan I put it on everything. The Gorgonzola sauce on this particular dish I find to be mild and perfection. I just woke up thinking of this dish it is so unbelievably good. Rating: 5/5

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given.

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be.
