    This place looks amazing and cool, nonetheless the food did not match the ambiance; that was unfortunate. We didn't even finish our food, it was not pleasant. The servers were nice but made a few mistakes, probably because of how busy it was at the moment. The best thing was the fresh grapefruit and orange juice. It's handicap accessible which is also a plus.

    Good flavor. Good service. Very thin burger patty. Lost amongst all the lettuce. Do yourself a favor and order the double.

    Lemonade... meh..

    Diner food.. Not really a fan Chicken tender was hard Fries were not crispy as they should have been. Burger was OK. Bacon Double Cheeseburger If you're in the area and have kids...it works. They have games and a family center. Service was good no complaints there. I am just used to a better burger and fry than they offer. All staff was friendly. And I also had a total stranger pay for my meal which was super sweet and a blessing on a spring Sunday afternoon. The place gives a Happy Days type vibe with a family center attached.

    So when I lived in New Jersey I would always get to this place and man it has not changed and I'm so happy that it hasn't. The place is so retro and has the best 50s vibe. When I went the staff member who sat us was really nice and our waitress was even better. The food was spot on and sooooooo freaking good . I'd drink 5 of those key lime pie cheesecake milkshakes if I could. Cheesesteak fries are a must get in my book .you can't go wrong with those. Also if you like soda they have one of the biggest soda selections in the world haha. You can create and mix any soda making thousands of combinations. Love this place and any time I'm in jersey I stop at this one.

    The food was good. The cheese fries were good but they got cold fast and it caused them to be hard. Other than that delicious. The service was very quick. The lighting and decor was very nice and old fashioned.

    You get all this for $5.28 (week-day breakfast special)

    11/05/2024 Just a quick update: still enjoying Nifty Fifty's breakfast monthly, usually weekly. Recently, the mid-week breakfast special is now up to $5.95 - not a deal-breaker considering you get 2 eggs, coffee, potatoes, and toast. Service is still top-notch thanks to Katie, Maria, Deanna, and Autumn. A couple of other perks: new red coffee mugs (very nifty!) and coffee creamer is now served in a little carafe - no more splitting open the tiny plastic creamer containers. Not much has changed in atmosphere; it is usually quiet when I go in (thankfully they're open at 6AM) and there's plenty of room for me at the counter. Thank you, NF, for the consistency!

    Took the family out to celebrate the kids first day of school this year. Stephanie our waitress was kind and attentive. The cheese fries and onion rings were great starters. All the food was excellent but my wife's cheese steak had the cheese on the bottom instead of on top so it was good but dry. The open kitchen feature is awesome as you can see your food being made. Both kids enjoyed their burgers. The arcade they have onsite is awesome and decently priced. There is also a mini golf course outdoors but we did not check it out.

    I ordered my food at 4:03 and left out of there at 4:37. Over a half hour wait for three items is crazy!

    I ordered my food at 4:03 and left out of there at 4:37. Over a half hour wait for three items is crazy! the staff in the back appeared to be knocking out orders but nothing was being bagged to go out. I wish the girl up front had more help because she appeared overwhelmed and not many helped her.

    Key Lime Pie milkshake, cheese fries

    Food was decent. Service took forever but when did get someone she was very down to earth. Ambiance is just like a diner. I got a key lime pie milkshake and it was amazing. Only reason I will be returning.

    Fresh coffee

    Great breakfast for reasonable prices with great service. The breakfast platter which consists of eggs, toast, hash browns, with a breakfast meat and unlimited coffee including a to go cup is $8.99. The coffee and smooth and mild. They have fresh squeezed orange juice with any kind of soda fountain drink your heart could desire. Fresh Belgium waffles with real maple syrup are served. Nify Fifty's is kids friendly with hats you can color and an arcade next door. This is our go to place for a reasonably priced delicious breakfast served with a smile.

Found it on a whim on Google when heading over to NJ for a marketplace run. Great value, good food, generous portions and friendly attentive staff. Can't speak for lunch or dinner but the breakfast was as good as it gets. Be sure not to miss out on the Lamp Post Diner.

    Was surprised to have a short wait on a Sunday after church. Was told 15 mins, and it was about…read morethat time. Was escorted to our table by a lovely hostess, but that's when the stellar service ended. A woman came over to our table who ended up being our server to abruptly tell us to hand her the tip that was on the table. The table hadn't been bussed from the previous occupants, our server didn't acknowledge that, or greet us, or introduce herself, she just told us, "hand me that money please". Welcome to Jersey I guess! Anyhow, it's a typical NJ diner with an unnecessarily massive menu, extremely large portions, but still relatively fair pricing. Our server was clearly experienced, but she was very curt and not friendly at all. Food was plentiful and mostly enjoyed. The hash browns were burnt, and very different, as the texture under the top crust was like mashed potatoes and they weren't seasoned at all. The eggs needed salt and pepper also. The French toast was good. The French toast with apples was also good, but had too much apple and whipped cream. It was like a dessert. It's a diner so I wasn't expecting Michelin worthy food, but I was so put off by the service, it colored the rest of the experience.
