Good Dog Bar and Restaurant on South 15th Street in Philadelphia’s Center City has been one of the city’s most beloved bar kitchens since it opened, building a reputation around the Good Dog Burger — a beef patty stuffed with Roquefort cheese, sealed inside, and cooked until the cheese melts into the meat from within. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 8 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Fresh, Filled and Fried,” which aired November 1, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Philadelphia bar kitchen doing creative, quality pub food in a two-story rowhouse space that earns its place as a neighborhood anchor through food that stands up to the best standalone restaurants in the city.

What to Eat
The Good Dog Burger is the reason to come — a hand-formed beef patty with Roquefort cheese sealed inside before cooking, so the cheese melts into the meat from within rather than sliding off the top. The result is a juicy, intensely flavored burger that earns its reputation as one of the best in Philadelphia. The Fried Pickles are the bar snack most regulars order while they wait for the burger. The Mac and Cheese with rotating add-ins is the comfort food side worth ordering alongside. The Specialty Cocktails and craft beer list are as serious as the food — Good Dog is a proper bar as much as a restaurant. Book your Philadelphia hotel on Travelocity.
