We had such an amazing experience at Nifty Fifty’s (Northeast Philadelphia location), and a huge part of that was because of our server Kayla W. and staff member Danny! We were traveling from Boston, and Kayla was one of the many incredibly hospitable people we met in Philadelphia — but she truly stood out. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, bubbly, attentive, and so personable. Her menu recommendations were perfect, and she checked back with us just the right amount to make sure everything was great without ever feeling rushed. After we went to Otherworld (which is right across the street), Kayla even gave us super curated milkshake recommendations that were exactly what we needed. She was happy to chat with us about our trip and our experience, and you could tell she genuinely

The food is terrific and you get plenty. I had so much food that I had to take the rest home for another meal. The staff was great and polite. I recommend trying this place.

First time dining at Nifty Fifty’s for me and my friend. Our waitress was Kylee she was sweet and friendly. My friend got belgian waffle and banana cream pie shake. I had hamburger with fries and mango shake. Were both agreed the shake was too sweet. My burger was dry and no flavor, the buns toast a bit too long I wanted just to warm up no need them to toast it till the rim of the bun was crispy.

Kayla, was our waitress. From the moment she approached our table she was extremely pleasant and friendly! We had a table full of hyper 10 yr old boys (one was the birthday boy) and she handled them like a total pro! She even had everyone come sing Happy Birthday. We ended our night here and she definitely made the end of the birthday night wonderful!

A Nostalgic Gem If you want a true 1950s time capsule, this is it. The neon lights, sparkly red booths, and counter stools create the perfect retro vibe. The food is made-to-order and far superior to standard fast food. They have burgers, fries and massive milkshake menu. They serve a solid breakfast that hits the spot. It’s fast, fresh, and perfectly nostalgic. A must-visit for a real diner experience!
