I love the 50's decor and the music on the juke box!!!! I feel like I'm actually in the 1950's everytime I eat there. Which is about twice a week!!! Everything on the menu that I've had so far is delicious. The fried... (more)

This is a real fun place for kids. They will bring you coloring supplies and a balloon as soon as you sit down. Classic diner dishes, separate kids menu. Awesome shakes. (more)

Cafe 50s is head to toe resurrected from the past. The waitresses seem transported from the 50s and don the ruby-lipped smile that is cliche but endearing. That's the word for this place: endearing. The efforts that... (more)

Intriguing retro decor, and tasty milk shake! The milk shake costs about 5 bucks for one, but they are quite big portion, you can hardly finish it on your own. I would definitely try their burger next time.And they have... (more)

Stopped in for the first time on my way to the beach with my 5 year old and his friend. It's easy to impress my boy with any restaurant that serves fries - but I'm more discerning. Sampled three different breakfasts and... (more)

While the '50s decor can seem a little over-the-top, the shakes and classic diner food make this one of my favorite stops. A more homey version of Johnny Rockets, Cafe 50s offers booth or counter seating. Order an egg... (more)

<b>In Short<br></b>Cafe 50's is smartly attired in red vinyl, white Formica and chrome. The walls are plastered with B-movie posters and ads of a bygone era, and a quarter buys three tunes on the 1957 jukebox.... (more)

Street parking makes visiting this Cafe 50s a bit difficult if not impossible certain times, their selection of milkshakes alone are worth coming here for. Their food's better than most other diners in the area.... (more)

If you are feeling like a good malt or a shake, Cafe 50's always is there to please: choose from a large selection, Fudge Brownie Vanilla, Oreo etc. These are a good idea for a date. The B Movie Posters on the wall are ever... (more)

Good burgers, sandwiches, etc. Even better milkshakes... there are so many varieties and I don't think any of them are bad (this includes the PB&J flavor). (more)

So my last and only visit to this place does not recall very many good food-memories. The place has a great vibe/decorative environment. The service was incredibly bad the night I went with my girlfriend. Food took... (more)

I love Cafe 50's. The food is always good and the service is great too. The staff is so friendly - even when they are really busy. It's fairly inexpensive and it's always very clean. Highly recommended.... (more)

Cafe 50's has your typical American Diner fare, served up to you in a vinyl booth or at the barstool. 50's ad copy, posters, and more line the walls, and a vintage phone booth sits in the entry. On weekends they have a... (more)

It is a small, but very clean place, with an intimate feel. I like to order a vanilla coke to drink while I'm there, and look at all of the different pictures and things on the walls. Parking in the back, I have only seen... (more)

The ambiance is terrific, as the feel of the 50's is definitely conveyed. The food is good, but the protions are just average. Shakes are delicious. Prices are rather steep thoug, because after a shake and a sandwich,... (more)

This restaurant is famous for its breakfasts and brunch. Go early on the weekends because there will definitely be a line. You can sit in front of the bar table watching the chefs cooking your breakfasts. There is a... (more)

In terms of food, this place is average, offering the standard fare of burgers, omelets fries and the like. What sets them apart is the special nights they have there, including Pajama Wednesdays, where if you wear... (more)

The meals have generous portions & taste good. Their Pajama Party Wednesdays are a hoot & Sunday brunches are magical (in house table-side entertainment). Not many places left where you can have a truly magical... (more)

While previously having a good experience here, our last visit was a disaster. The service was just completely incompetent, and the food was really lackluster. I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The place really... (more)
