Oh my! We came back two more times. I was hungry late. We had a late lunch and been busy about town. So we are thinking two blocks away and their shakes are excellent. I get a Texas Ringer Burger, Onion ring and a shake. My wife got two chicken fingers. (No pics of the second night) Onion rings were so fresh. The burger was excellent. Went back the third time and we got pics. My wife liked the burger. She got one as well. read more

I didn't realize this location was take out only, so I was disappointed when I arrived and saw that I couldn't go inside. My fault for not doing more research. There are tables outside, so my girlfriend and I ordered takeout and ate at an outside table that was in the shade. We shared a chili dog, a texas tommy, and an oreo cookies and cream milkshake. The chili dog was just Ok. A good dog with chili that didn't add as much flavor as I expected. The texas tommy was better, as it's hard to go wrong with a dog wrapped in bacon with cheese. But I have had better. The oreo cookies and cream milkshake was good, but not good enough for us to actually finish it. If I had kids Nifty Fifties would be a nice spot to grab food for the family. But for me it's just OK and doesn't warrant a return visit. read more

A great place to satisfy a sweet tooth near Citizens Bank Park in South Philly with a wide range of sodas and milkshakes. I ordered the cheesecake milkshake which had mini pieces of graham crackers and tasted like a cake in a malt form. The shake was a little bit thinker than I'd hope but other than that, no complaints. The service was nice and the drink came quickly. read more

My Lyft driver recommended this place for me. I guess he only heard me saying " I'm hungry" & not " I'm hungry AND WANT A GOOD CHEESESTEAK"... I ordered a cheesesteak with everything on it with chili and cheese fries 2/10. It was stuffed (pause) but that's about it. No taste, dry meat (pause). Chili cheese fries taste like water. Only ate like 5 of them. Nothing but a stomach ache in the morning. Lol. After asking my friend and family about his place... All I heard was " The milkshakes are delicious... The milkshakes......" Lol..Lol.. Never good to hear when you want to know about the food. Great staff tho. I hope y'all enjoy it. #TeamDiesel #TeamDiesel4Evaaaaa read more

Burgers were good and reasonably priced but would have been very thin without adding all the free toppings. Specify your toppings!! Or have a sad burger. The onion rings were pretty good especially with a side of the dipping sauce (extra charge?). But the 3 milkshakes were all crazy sweet, like could not drink more than a few sips and cost as much as the burgers. Takeout only. Parking isn't bad. Really friendly service & food made to order. Good for kids and those with a super sweet tooth. read more

Ordered vua GrubHub for pick up and was done on time. When I opened the box for the burger I was pretty disappointed with how it looked; it could've had a better presentation, the lettuce was one big ol' leaf slapped on top. Nevertheless, taste is more important to me. It wasn't bad but the burger was overcooked. The cheese fries was good; i like the seasonings they added. Just wished they added more cheese. read more

Nifty Fifty's - Single Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nifty's was Delicious. The western steer filet was grilled to a perfect medium as requested. The steak was tender and well seasoned; offering a taste of nostalgia with every bite. The shake was hand-spun beautifully. It was thicker than a voluptuous urban female - the kind often seen "twerking" in rap music videos. The shakes viscosity and depth of flavor provided an exceptional mouth experience and really rounded out the meal. Btw the service was exceptional. I look forward to coming back again...and again! read more

Need to grab something quick because I haven't eaten anything the whole day and it's 4:20pm already. Stop by this Nifty Fifty and try their Single Royal Cheeseburger that my husband got for me. The onion ring is crispy. It's not like those that only have a bunch of breading and their onion is tiny. Their patty also pretty good too. Slightly thin in my opinion but not bad. I would wanna try other burgers from them next time. read more

milkshakes are delicious. Wish they did a quarter pound burger instead of smash burgers

First time ordering from here, Oreo milkshake was amazing, it was perfect. HOWEVER, I got the mushroom Swiss cheesesteak and I ate half at work, I bit into something gritty, I just thought "oh could be a peppercorn", wrong! It was tiny bones! It was bearable eating half at work, but when I got home and ate the rest, the bone pieces that I bit into just got bigger! Like wtf?! Each bite I take there's another big piece of bone. Seriously?! Are you expecting me to enjoy a cheesesteak then potentially have more than one medium sized pieces of bone cutting my throat or my organs?? Idc if I'm just an online order, shit like this can get you sued, what if a child was fed this? Take your time in making sure you give quality food to everyone whether in person or online. I wanted to like this cheesesteak, but no. Even my childhood papi store makes the best cheesesteak a few blocks away. read more

Nifty Fifty's - Pieces of bones in my Mushroom Swiss Cheesesteak - Burgers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Since they've allowed calling in orders ahead and more take out options, I've finally had the chance to try N50's. While there are plenty of other burger and cheesesteak places in the area, this place has a shiny exterior so you know it's new. I was recommended to try the milkshakes here, but my first time, I got a burger, spicy cheese fries and spicy nuggets. Paying and pick up was a little slow as there is only one person allowed in the store at once, but the order was done right as I got there and the food was still hot when I got to eat it. Solid burger, tasty french fries and the nuggets were real breast meat. Overall a tasty little late night meal, but the prices were a little too much for my liking, especially when the place across the street is more original and cheaper. N50's has the milkshakes though, with a huge variety so I will definitely be trying one of those at their new location in Port Richmond, but the food is just A-okay read more

Waiter was begging for tips. There was a hair in my friends fries. That made me lose my appetit. I am very disappointed in my experience.

Went for a quick drink at Nifty Fifty's before the Phillies game. The place had a pick up window. I waited in line and was dead set on a mint chocolate chip milkshake. I wasn't the biggest fan. The mint chocolate didn't have the chunks of chocolate chip I am use to. While waiting for my order, a person who came way after me got their food before me. I wearing my Phillies gear while this guy was wearing his Seattle gear. 2 double whammy Nifty in South Philly. Getting served before someone else when they had more items and serving a Seattle fan. Where is the South Philly spirit? read more

Delicious food and shake. This was the first time I ever had Nifty Fifty's and I have to say it's really good. I order the mushroom burger and peanut butter banana shake; my friend had the royal and we split an order of fries and onion rings. Everything was good, everything you would expect from a burger. Onion rings were huge and fries were also well seasoned. The shake was really good and thick; they didn't skim on the ice cream and you can taste the chunks of bananas. Price wise, it's not your McDonald burger price but it's also expected, so, no complaints. When I went the place only takes order through the windows but the experience was pleasant from ordering to picking up the food. HOWEVER, the down fall is the order fulfillment itself. I would HIGHLY recommend checking your order before leaving so save you from disappointment if anything was wrong. The burger I ordered was missing all of the toppings I asked for in the exception of the bacon and I was given, fried onions which I didn't ask for. This was a kitchen issue because the person that took the order, repeated the whole order and it was correct. I'm still giving this place 4 stars for now because taste and service wise it was really good. There's just a lack of quality control that I hope would improve as time progresses, since this location is fairly new. read more

Love nifty fifty's but my favorite is the original up on grant avenue.. so many great memories from childhood to now with my family

Their burgers are good along with their milkshakes. It's too much for me to finish, but my daughter likes it so we were able to share. Their onion rings are so good!!! It's the kind where it'd freshly made, not frozen. Downfall is no indoor seating, just outdoors. read more

this place is all theme and no flavor. There mushroom swiss burger california style was absolutely bland and the fries came out soggy. the only thing that allowed the fries to be eaten was the ketchup. you'd think with the retro styling that they'd atleast be on par with 5 guys but they don't even approach that level and i consider 5 guys to be a standard in the industry. if i was on my knees with a gun to my head and my choices were to eat the burger i had or die i'd choose death because i know the last meal i had would be better than that burger. the lady behind there counter said there sweet tea was the best she had had at any fast food place. that tea was neither sweet or cool. it needed extra ice pumps of sugar and tons of ice which just watered it down more. all this being said the lady behind the counter was very sweet and called me sweetie which i liked. read more

Came here a while ago for a quick bite before getting on the road and I'd say it was definitely a longer wait than fast food, but well worth it. Ordered at the pickup window. Overwhelming variety of soda flavors - like, I panicked and picked basic ass cherry vanilla because there were just that many choices - but if you research ahead of time you'll be good. Hotdogs were fantastic. They had that crunchy bite on the skin, and a really good bun. Fries were BOMB. I can't explain the seasoning, but they were heaven. I devoured the whole large cup in a matter of minutes in my car. Prices are decent. Would definitely return. read more

Ya get ya moneys woyt...ordered Uber eats,large portions,tastes great. Got the Buffalo blue fries and a cherry chocolate shake...

I've given this location a chance 4 times now, and I never wrote a review until now because I believe post Covid hiccups are a thing in the food industry, and that I needed to have some sympathy. After tonight I won't be returning unless I'm in the mood for one of their S'mores milkshakes and feel like waiting a half hour for it. Seriously, the food isn't worth it at all. Just go for the milkshakes. Not only is the clientele extremely obnoxious (every time I've embarked on waiting for over 30min for any size order I've ever placed, I've witnessed some extremely obnoxious patrons just screaming and being insanely rude to the staff). So, it's already a hostile environment, which is obviously uncomfortable. One of the worst parts about visiting this NF location, is that you will not wait for less than 30min for your order regardless if you ordered a single soda, or a full meal. The second (and main) worst part is that all of the food is really terrible. Literally everything I've ordered from them over the past year has been barely edible. Just get the milkshakes if you really need to go here. Also, pro tip: if you order a cheeseburger, it is literally a burnt burger patty with a slice of cheese on top. Nothing else. Make sure you ask for something else on it if you don't just want a patty and cheese on a dry bun. But keep in mind that if you ask for say, lettuce and tomato, after getting your order - you will wait another 10-15min for that side of condiments that should have come on the burger automatically. Such a strange place. read more

So at first we thought that this was a sit in restaurant. Just to be clear, it's not. It's only grub hub/door dash, online order, and walk-up ordering. We ordered at the counter, the worker's attitude was okay. She was average, not rude or kind. We ordered, it took about 15 minutes for the food to be ready. The cheeseburger was really good. I also got the cinnamon bun milkshake, which was also delicious. The person who attended us when we were picking the food up was actually pretty nice. Overall, average service, good food. I didn't give it five stars because it wasn't that "wow, that restaurant was amazing!" kind of thing. read more

This place has the best milkshakes I have ever had, and I drive almost an hour just for them. The last time I went was pre- pandemic so I have no information on anything current. The staff is always incredibly polite and get your order out fast. I've never had an order messed up, or a milkshake that tastes bad. I always ask the cashier to surprise me with whatever they like and never get a bad one. Definitely a place I recommend going to, or stopping by when you're in Philadelphia. read more

Wanted to try a Philly cheesesteak, and was also headed to the airport, when Yelp took me to Nifty's. Their service was friendly, the cheesesteak was good and their shake was AWESOME!! Definitely will have to go back if I go to the east coast again. Gave it 4 stars though because onion rings were not breaded and crispy enough. read more
