Like breakfast at home
Great way to start your day is breakfast @ Nifty Fiftys. Everything is home made and served hot and fast. Having breakfast there is a tradition for locals and tourists alike. Also great is their half-pound burger for lunch.    [29 Apr 2002 03:09:10]

Nifty's is one of the best diners in an area known for its outstanding diners. The chili fries are a must, as is the fresh lemonade (they squeeze the lemons right in front of you!). The shakes are a longtime Philadelphia tradition, but if you really want to be like the locals...do the Egg Cream (or Creamys as the staff call it). One of the few places outside of NYC you can get an authentic Egg Cream.    [18 Jan 2007 18:42:59]

In many places this small, the small number of eateries available usually leads to inflated prices, average food and service. Not so here. Service friendly, a genuine hello, quick, thoughtful, re-asking what options you want on the food. Value for money is excellent. I've never seen a chain capture this and it makes them all the more special. If it comes down to it, yes I will ride 129 miles for breakfast.

My only complaint, and it's more personal preference than anything they are doing wrong, was the type of fries used, string, but the taste and consistency was excellent e.g not watered down chili, right amount of onions and cheese.

Coffee's good too.

That and they have a decent hot sauce other than just going with Tabasco. Lastly it's nice to see 50's style but with people that don't look like they came out of the 50's. If you are every near this place it's worth your attention.    [08 Jun 2008 15:33:27]
