A
Tempo Cafe
Bright and cheery, this upscale diner brings most of its meals to the table the way they’re meant to be served – in a skillet. Its omelet-centric menu includes all manner of fresh veggies and meat, as well as sandwiches, soups and salads. After the bars close the scene here is chaotic and fun.

Flanigan’s
Flanigan’s claims to have the best ribs in Miami, and they are good, but we’re not giving more credit than that. Still, this is a pleasantly rowdy, all-American kind of joint tucked into a liquor store (bonus), and a great spot to drink beer, eat decent grub and yell at TV sports.

Chicago Bagel Authority
This plucky little spot has managed to fight off the commercial developments which surround them, catering to DePaul students who drop in for fast breakfast bagels and sandwiches at lunch. There’s free wi-fi, a staff of friendly neighborhood experts, and quality tunes on the stereo.

Prince & the Pauper
The boneless lamb in puff pastry is a rave at this classic New England restaurant in the center of Woodstock. If you're not up for the hearty three-course fixed-price dinner, there's also a bistro menu with lighter fare and enticing options.

Sage
Acclaimed Chicago chef Shawn McClain meditates on the seasonally sublime with global inspiration and artisanal, farm-to-table ingredients in one of Vegas' most drop-dead gorgeous dining rooms. Lounge at the eggplant velvet banquettes underneath the giant scrims of Impressionist paintings, or head to the stunning bar to sip on inspired seasonal cocktails doctored with housemade liqueurs.

Jordan Pond House
For a memorable afternoon break sit on the lawn overlooking the pond and order afternoon tea served with warm popovers and homemade strawberry jam. The park's sole restaurant also has lobster rolls at lunchtime and prime rib dinners.

Mae’s Phinney Ridge Café
Breakfast is heavenly, and the tasty milkshakes make it a worthwhile trip anytime. Not that there’s anything wrong with having a milkshake for breakfast, mind you. Mae’s famous cinnamon rolls are now available in stores, but they’re inevitably best here in the homey little cafe.

Mug 'N' Bun
The mugs are frosted and filled with a wonderful home-brewed root beer. The buns contain burgers, chili dogs and juicy pork tenderloins. And don't forget the fried macaroni-and-cheese wedges. At this vintage drive-in near the Speedway, you are served – where else? – in your car.

Cafe This Way
The place in Bar Harbor for breakfast. Vegans will love the scrambled tofu chock-full of veggies, old-schoolers the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Solid seafood menu at dinner.

Crave
Winning extra points for style – from the cool sign to the forks hanging from the ceiling – this hip little eatery serves up comfort food and classics with a little extra flair. Although dinner goes up to $30, there's still plenty to munch on in the $12-and-under category.

Anthem
This sophisticated restaurant exudes a cool, quirky Goth ambiance. The menu is mod, offering upscale comfort food, like mighty meatloaf, tasso (a kind of Cajun ham), mac and four cheeses, and baked-tuna-and-noodle casserole. Reservations recommended on event nights.

24 Prince St
It's not dishing up anything all that unusual, but 24 Prince has found a recipe for success: serve delectable mac-n-cheese, burnished chicken, creamed spinach, cornbread and other American favorites in a convivial and casually elegant atmosphere, and everybody leaves happy.

Moab Brewery
A good bet for a group with diverse tastes. Choosing from the list of microbrews made in the vats just behind the bar area may be easier than deciding what to eat off the vast and varied menu.

WA Frost & Company
Frost's tree-shaded, ivy-covered, twinkling-light patio is right out of a Fitzgerald novel, perfect for a glass of wine, beer or gin. The restaurant locally sources many ingredients for dishes like the artisanal cheese plate, glazed tofu steak and cardamom-glazed duck.

Inn of the Seventh Ray
Everyone needs a little Malibu. And lucky for you, 30 miles of surf, sunshine and sun-dappled mountains are only a tankful of gas away. Freewheeling Topanga is where the Inn of the Seventh Ray serves local seafood and organic dishes with new-age flair.

From sitcom stars to dolly grips, the Hollywood crowd loves its Toast. Not to mention its tasty egg scrambles, luscious pancakes and frothy lattes. This popular eatery recently added dinner hours, so avoid the crush on weekend mornings and stop by for an evening bite.

Red Stag Supper Club
The exposed-beam Northwoods lodge look belies Red Stag's LEED-certified architecture. The locally sourced arugula-and-pine-nut flatbread sandwiches, smelt fries, smoked trout and cassoulet soothe the stomach. There are good deals for Tuesday dinner.

Molly’s
Wood-paneled walls, black-and-white photos and quirky decor form the backdrop to Molly’s tasty bistro fare. Fish and chips, wood-fired mac and cheese, burgers and salads are some of the ample offerings. Menus hidden inside old LP covers – a nice touch.

Chicago Firehouse
Situated in a carefully restored turn-of-the-century firehouse, this place offers traditional American cuisine in the South Loop. Ribs and steaks headline the show here, although they’re pushed out of the spotlight when local resident Mayor Richard M Daley drops in.

McMenamins North Bank
Gloriously located on the banks of the mighty Willamette, this relatively modest (for a McMenamins) pub- restaurant boasts some of the best views in Eugene. Grab a riverside patio table on a warm, sunny day and order a burger with the Hammerhead ale – you can't get more stylin'.

Arcadia Farms Café
Hmm, the smoked-salmon club? Or the wild mushroom, spinach and goat-cheese tart? Perhaps the strawberry chicken salad on baby greens? The problem with this chic bistro, tucked inside the Phoenix Art Museum , is that everything sounds delectable. This welcoming eatery uses only seasonal organic ingredients for its light yet satisfying dishes. And for ladies who lunch, there's always the peach Bellini.

Bull Ring
This is the seat of state government, and lobbyists lather up their prey over thick steaks and single-malt scotches at places like the Bull Ring, where fast and friendly staff serve aged Angus in either the Naugahyde dining room or rustic saloon (open until 23:00).

The Soda Shop
Lunch and dinner are great - full of American classics like hearty mac-n-cheese, spaghetti with rich, flavorful meatballs - but locals love the breakfasts. Soda Shop's homey interior is the perfect place to grab a short stack or fluffy omelette on the way to work.

Dakota Cowgirls
Dakota Cowgirls ‘Gay-camp, Western, awesome burgers' aren't five words generally used in the same sentence, but all of the above come together at this rollicking homage to cowboys, kitsch and some of the best meat between two buns in town.

Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill
Dating from the mid-1850s, this historic building is a remarkably well preserved homage to Austin's early days. Within its exposed limestone walls, you can enjoy upscale comfort food, half-price appetizers at happy hour or a lavish Sunday brunch buffet ($16.95).
