Hard Rock Cafe

"For those looking to ditch cooking this year, there’s a rockin’ Thanksgiving dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Center City. There’s an affordable prix-fixe menu ($30 per person) that includes a classic turkey meal served with slow-roasted turkey breast, roasted vegetables, stuffing, sweet potato mash, cranberry sauce, and a traditional turkey gravy. A grand slice of pumpkin pie will be served for dessert. A prix-fixe children’s menu will also be available. Diners can reserve table now online on OpenTable." - Ernest Owens

"Arguably one of the most kid-friendly restaurants in Philly, Hard Rock Cafe is intentional in providing a space for kids to dine just as well as their parents. The Center City mainstay recently released a new kids menu in collaboration with soccer superstar, Leo Messi, that includes bacon cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, mac and cheese, grilled chicken breasts, “twisted ‘N’ tasty” cavatappi pasta, in addition to the Messi chicken sandwich and burger." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"This Center City hotspot is a reliable (and affordable) restaurant to dine at for any major occasion. Whether it’s lunch or dinner, they can host groups of 10 or more with an expansive that range from steaks, tacos, salads, burgers, and more." - Ernest Owens, George Banks-Weston

"The majority of dishes (barbecue bacon cheeseburger, boneless wings, and steak salad) at this Center City mainstay is under $25 and they have a happy hour with even cheaper prices (such as wings, nachos, sliders, pretzels, and fries for only $8). From kid’s menu options to full course entrées, there’s plenty of affordable choices for diners." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"There’s levels to this impressive, colorful cocktail that includes a tier strawberry puree and lime juice, followed by a layer of mango puree, pineapple, and orange juice, and topped with Teremana Blanco Tequila and Blue Curacao. It’s literally Pride in a glass for the rest of the summer." - Ernest Owens
