Back To the 50S

Dirt Angel,
Dirt Angel,
Will you be mine?
My darling dear,
You haven’t cleaned, in such a long time.
I’m just a fool,
A fool, to have eaten with you.
Disgustingly dirty! We ordered glasses of water to wash off the silverware. (Not kidding). EVERY piece was gross, as were the water glasses.
Decorated with posters, records, and other 50s kitsch all around the walls, your eyes are drawn to what looks like black mold or soot growing out of each ceiling mounted air register, which is directly above the tables and booths. Were they last cleaned «in the 50s?»
Breakfast food was fair, but vastly overpriced. This wasn’t an old 1950s diner, just a pretend restaurant. The owners either don’t care or lost their pride when they stopped cleaning. Service was friendly, but not enough to overcome the filth.
Left the restaurant a few hours ago and are still laughing about how dirty it was. But now only nervously lauging, as we hope we don’t get sick.

Buffalo Chicken Omelette w Sweet Potato hash browns.
Outstanding! Ask for a big ass coffee cup too, they have one that says Seattle that must hold ¹⁄₃ of a coffee pot.

We had another delicious dining experience! We had gingerbread pancakes! Omg! Amazing! Best seasonal breakfast ever! I also had a cheese lover quiche that was perfect! We always love the specials!!! Fabulous staff! We look forward to going there on the weekends!

This is my favorite place to go for breakfast. They always have an amazing specials list and I love trying out all the different selections they have! The service is also amazing and all of the ladies there are so sweet and nice. This place should have better reviews than it does because it is truly one of the best breakfast places in the Doylestown area.

The service is always good, the food is always good. Some things are a little too homey, but I enjoy it.

Cute place!
Our cheesesteaks and fries were good!
Breakfast here is good!

Cute place. Solid diner. I could see going there every so often.
The food was good and the service was good as well.
I look forward to going back again sometime.

I haven’t been to this diner in years. (Many years) this place always and still has good service. The food use to be very delicious. I’m not sure what happened. Didn’t think an experienced cook could mess up a simple dish, 2 eggs over medium, soft bacon, hash browns and white toast!
Well I got 2 over hard you could stand a fork up in them, x-​crispy bacon with soft ends that tasted like it’s been pre made and was sitting around, hash browns that tasted like pure grease like they cooked them and dropped them back in the fryer to heat them up… But I ate the toast that was good!
I’m so glad I didn’t order my first choice, eggs Benedict. Afraid of what that would have been like, the cook can’t cook an egg. Does this cook even know what a poached egg is???
From what i understand they have a new cook, did u check his references???
It’s a shame the service was great! But you don’t just pay for service!

Food was decent, ice cream was splendid, but it lacked authenticity. The restaurant had mixed races in there, there were not 50’s televisions, they talked like they did in 2010, there were no polio vaccines to be handed out, and there was too much modern technology.

This is one of my favorite places! The staff knows my drink order, the specials are amazing (Nutella bacon French toast, banana Bailey’s crepes, cinnamon bun French toast!!) and the atmosphere is relaxing. I can’t understand the negative reviews, B2T50s is awesome.

Place is pretty dirty, walls, ceiling, 50’s misc junk. Prices are pretty high. I won’t be going back.

The lunch food was not good at all. The waitresses need lessons in customer service. With their attitude towards customers, this diner will be out of business in no time!

The exhaust fan is non-​existent. You will smell like the place for days.
Food is OK, but over-​priced.

For as long as I have been in the Doylestown area (living and working), and the amount of times I have driven by, it took me until just last weekend to finally stop in for breakfast. Not a bad place, a cluttered 50’s theme diner with good eats. Omelettes were large and quite delicious. I was looking forward to the Jalapeño toast but they were out when we were there. Coffee was decent. If your in the mood for typical diner fare in a unique environment, then this is worth a stop. I can now check it off my list after 7 years.

We happened upon this place on the way to Peddler’s Village, it’s not easy to miss — the building is bright pink. The décor lived up to the diner’s name. Lots of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis memorabilia, as well as interesting table décor (a newspaper that contained a tear from a newspaper in the 50’s, with house prices of $ 15,000 — I wish!). The diner was small and it was packed tight on the Saturday morning we were there.
Service was good. Our coffee was kept full and the waitress took our drink and food orders in good time. Menu selection was great. We stopped in around 945a, but my daughter was hungry for lunch. Breakfast and lunch are served all day, so she was able to order «The Elvis» — which was a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich (yummy!).
I deduct points because I wasn’t all that impressed with the food. It’s typical diner fair, but very pricey. Perhaps my expectations were a bit higher since I was paying just under $ 10 for an omelet. I ordered the south-​western omelet. It was large with a small serving of potatoes and toast. My omelet could have used more flavor — when I think of SW I think of spice and pronounced flavor. Didn’t get that with this omelet.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad time but for $ 40 for 3 people to eat (one being a child), I think we could have found better elsewhere.

Miami Beach has its Big Pink diner-​esque food forum. Furlong has its Back to the 50’s; a pink edifice loaded with nostalgia for days gone by when the Victrola and AM radio were the only ways to listen to contemporary music. This place is replete with black and whites of Elvis and Marilyn, and the lesser lights of the mid-​20^th Century.
It is a breakfast/​lunch emporium with a dozen or so booths and the same number of tables. The coffee comes fast and furious, delivered by black clad waitresses calling everybody, «honey,» «doll,» or «sugarcakes.» Ya’ gotta’ luv it!
The breakfasts are pretty good, with many fresh fruit specials added to pancakes, waffles and French toast. Still, nothing that makes me want to rush back for more.
Yu wan meat wid dat?

Somehow, even though I grew up in the Doylestown area, i’ve never been to Back to the 50’s. I went with my family for brunch on Mother’s Day.
Inside, it’s your typical diner decoration with kitschy collages of mid-​century memorabilia. The noise level was pretty loud, but for a small diner, I guess that’s to be expected.
I had heard how large the omelet portions were, and I wasn’t looking to gorge myself. I ended up choosing the South of the Border Benedict (eggs benedict with chipotle peppers and sausage patties.) I substituted my home fries for their sweet potato home fries, which could have been better. They were shredded and kind of wet (closer to hash browns than home fries.) My meal was really good though. NIce spice/​heat level, and nicely poached eggs.
The service was friendly, but not perfect. We had to ask a few times for utensils and water. Nothing awful, just typical busy breakfast service at a diner.
Overall, I was definitely impressed with the range of the menu, and the numerous specials they had on the board. I’m looking forward to going back and trying an omelet, or one of the speciality quiches, or one of the many other options they offer.

Back to the 50’s is my favorite diner in the area. They are recognizable from far away with their bright pink exterior. I love the inside with all the 50’s memorabilia — great throwback! They have great breakfast and great burgers so if it’s your first time there, I’d stick to a burger or breakfast. Their milkshakes have the perfect thickness too. I also like their fried pickles mmmm. I’ve always experienced good service so definitely recommend Back to the 50’s if you’re looking for a diner experience with good food.

Don’t let the name fool you. Back to the 50s may have 50s memorabilia, but the food is quite updated. They have four different types of quiche, including a chard goat cheese and onion quiche today with a whole wheat crust. The rest of the menu was varied including having pancakes, waffles, buckwheat cakes, as well as a huge selection of omelettes. I had a simple breakfast sandwich on sourdough toast. The bacon was not as crisp as I would have liked, and the eggs were obviously cooked on a griddle. but it was still good. Coffee is average, and oj is from concentrate. This place could kick it up a notch but still is good. Prices are higher than you standard breakfast restaurant. They do serve breakfast and lunch all day which is a real plus. Not open for dinner.

It’s nice to know that when you’re craving french fries and a sandwich at 9 in the morning, Back to the 50’s located in Furlong will indulge you.
You won’t be able to miss the squat pink building (reminds me of my favorite Bonnie Bell lipgloss — Cotton Candy) and once inside, you’ll find it’s cozy, but the booths are nice and roomy.
This was the first time I’ve ever had the famous «Elvis» sandwich — peanut butter and bananas on grilled bread (I added bacon) — and it was worth the wait.
The fries were crispy (even at 9 in the morning) and the regular size fry came in a huge basket, easily enough for 2. Now, I’m a picky fry eater, and Back to the 50’s serves the thick kind (I like mine thin or curly and thin) — which my mate loved, but alas, I prefer the skinner variety.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive — though the young guy that sat us seemed like he’d rather be at home playing video games than working — no Richie Cunningham or Fonzie — still — he was polite — just a bit distant.
I look forward to more visits to try the cheese steaks (which Alice from the Chalfont Post Office swears is the best in the area).
Ps. If you order the Elvis, please refrain from saying «Thank you, thank you very much» when the waitress delivers it. She’s heard that line 42, 567 times.
