Well, based upon advice at egullet.com, I hit Roosevelt Tavern for some lunch. People rave about their 1. low prices; and 2. burgers.
Both ARE worth raving about! If you buy a drink, burger/fry combo is 2.95, .50 for any toppings like cheese, mushrooms, etc. And they are nice-sized - perfect for lunch.
The meat patty must be from a tasty cut of beef, and it's seasoned well, because it is soooo flavorful - this is one burger I'd enjoy almost as much as plain as with cheese!
It's located on the Southeast corner of 23rd and Walnut - within walking distance of Center City. Just a regular pub/tavern - they are currently remodeling.
If you need a fix when you are in Philly, this should hit the spot!

I might also add the following places (I use to live in Art Museum area and would eat here all the time):
Bishops Collar (or as some locals call it "The Collar")
London Grill
Rembrandts (bar only)
Also in CC, Nodding Head, Black Sheep and Standard Tap.
