    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
    Diana J.

    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.

    THIS PLACE SLAPS…read more Breakfast and dinner are 5/5. Such great food, great service, and an absolutely beautiful hybrid patio area. The drinks are incredible as well while being fairly priced. I did not think this place would be so good but it's found its way up on my top 5 list in southern NJ. Tastefully thought out menu that does everything so well, and it's not even that expensive!

I have been coming here since they first opened, and it has always been one of my favorite spots. Over the years, the food has consistently been great and I've always had good experiences with the service, which makes yesterday especially disappointing. From the beginning, it seemed like our server had far too many tables and was overwhelmed with the workload. We initially ordered our appetizers, and when she brought them out, we told her we were ready to put in our entrées. She said okay, but then did not return to our table for another 20 minutes to actually take our order. We were left sitting there waiting despite already telling her we were ready to order. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that servers can be stretched thin. However, the lack of attention to our table made the entire experience frustrating, especially at a restaurant where I've had such consistently good service in the past. Unfortunately, the food was also not up to the quality I've come to expect from Cinder Bar. To make matters worse, after eating there, I became extremely sick with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. I normally wouldn't let one bad experience erase years of positive ones, but between the extremely slow service, disappointing food, and becoming sick afterward, this experience was bad enough that I no longer feel comfortable returning. It's genuinely disappointing because Cinder Bar has been one of my favorite restaurants since they opened, and I have recommended it to others many times. I really hope management looks into both the staffing situation and what may have happened with the food that day, because yesterday's experience was completely different from the Cinder Bar I've known and enjoyed for years.

    I had high hopes for The Breakfast Spot, but this was hands down one of the most frustrating dining…read moreexperiences I've had in a long time. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, it's complete chaos, cars double parked everywhere with no organization. Walking inside doesn't get any better. The place is overcrowded with DoorDash and Grubhub drivers just standing around, and there's no clear system for who's waiting, who's ordered, or where to go. You literally have to ask a dozen people just to figure out where the line starts. After finally placing our order, we were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. That turned into an hour... then an hour and a half... then nearly two hours, with zero communication or updates. We even went back in after an hour, only to be told our food still wasn't ready, but were offered a tiny spoon of water ice as if that somehow made up for it. Then, after waiting even longer, we were finally told they were out of beef bacon, the main ingredient in both of our sandwiches, and asked if we wanted a substitute. At that point, absolutely not. We canceled the order. To make matters worse, instead of issuing a proper refund, we were told to "monitor our bank account" and come back if the charge doesn't fall off. That's unacceptable. At least the receipt says voided but I already know where I'll be on Wednesday

Be prepared to wait for your food as it is cooked to order! Trust me...it is well worth the wait. Best cheese grits I've ever had (sooo savory!) and it came with 3 large portions of fried whiting. I washed it down with hibiscus tea. I only ate 1 portion of the fish and not even half of the grits and I'm stuffed! I can't wait to come back!!!
