Editorial review from Citysearch 2/27/2013

I have been going there for years to this location. I feel it is a little overpriced and needs a make over. The food is always excellent and fast.\r . more

Loved this place since I was a kid! 3/14/2008

I grew up in Northeast Philly eating at Nifty Fifty's. Its a great place to take kids, family, friends, or a date. The atmosphere is friendly and 70's with the jukebox and vinyl booths. Food is cheap, a great price for the quality (most items are under $5). Do NOT leave without trying a milkshake! Its to die for. My boyfriend and I ordered two burgers, two sodas, side fries, and a milkshake and our total was less than $20. If you go to the one near Franklin Mills Mall, ask for Dave!! Needless to say, the service is great - friendliest waiters you'll ever meet. Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing more

Best Breakfast in Town 8/8/2005

I have never had a better breakfast anywhere! The Banana Pancakes were awesome. I loved the fresh coffee and especially the fresh squeezed O.J. served in a frosted mug. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the bacon was cooked just right. The service and value were the best around by far!!!!! Pros: great food, great value, clean atmosphere more

LEFT WITH CHANGE IN MY POCKET. 7/26/2005

AS A MOM WITH FOOTBALL PLAYING TEENS I FOUND THAT WE CAN ALL ENJOY A BITE TO EAT AND NOT GO BROKE. THE BURGERS ARE GREAT, FRIES--MMMM, THE KIDS ENJOY GETTING A DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF SODA ON THE REFILLS (WHICH ARE FREE). THE SERVICE IS WITH A SMILE AND COURTEOUS. PLACE COULD BE A LITTLE BIGGER BUT HEY - SO COULD GREAT ADVENTURE. ANY PLACE GOOD IS WORTH THE WEIGHT!!!! Pros: FRESH FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE Cons: PARKING, SIZE more

Had breakfast there, and it was fabulous! The waitress was very friendly, and refilled coffee cups without asking. I highly reccomend this establishment for any meal, not just breakfast. more

Rockin Boppin Burgers 8/3/2002

Burgers are delish. Taste 100% real. Broiled to taste without being burnt. My kids - who are extremely picky - would eat them 24/7. Great with their terrific milkshakes. Definitely worth a return trip! Pros: Friendly, Good-quality Food, Fun Atmosphere Cons: Crowded, Wait to be seated, Little Noisy more
