Dining room at The Happy Rooster, Philadelphia, PA

Once a boys club of a pub, The Happy Rooster has morphed into a neighborhood spot for all, with chef Terry Cherry in the kitchen cooking seasonal cuisine and a first-rate burger. Think updated comfort food, from shrimp and grits to slow-cooked pork shoulder with black eyed peas and greens. Daily chalkboard specials are market-driven. The place still has that private club feel, with a lighter, egalitarian edge.
