When it's 4:00 in the morning and you're craving a greasy plate of food your options can feel pretty limited. But, beyond fast food chains and mini-mart hot dogs, there are still plenty of quality restaurants for those in search of an off hours meal. These 12 places from across the country have all received praise for offering top notch 24 hour dining.

Broward-Palm Beach

Yep, we're some of those people...You know, the ones that watch the Super Bowl for the commercials as much as the game. While Doritos and Bud Light are always expected to have a good showing, this year's Snickers commercial featuring our favorite dingy Golden Girl, Rose (Betty White) captured our attention. It never ceases to be funny to hear an elderly person say the phrase, "That's not what your girlfriend says." Abe Vigoda also makes an appearance to let the world know he's still alive.

• Clean Plate Charlie gets things started with an in-depth analysis of the new recipe from Domino's. Is it better? We don't want to spoil the surprise, but it's definitely different.

Here are some of this week's most noteworthy restaurant reviews from across the country:

Broward-Palm Beach

Cypress Nook

Seeing a group of Floridians try to keep warm in a cold wave is like watching the pope perform a bris: We have absolutely no idea what to do with ourselves in such conditions. All those pained expressions, the shivering, the wardrobe problems -- it's God's cruel joke on a region ordinarily blessed with the best weather in the world. More >>

Dallas

Holy Grail Pub

Just what makes a pub a "pub"?

If we're speaking of an English place, it should serve fish and chips. Most of them list a number of beers and perhaps a few interesting whiskeys. A long wooden bar says "pub," as do library shelves, wooden beams and a decorated mirror. More >>

​Once again, Denny's, in it's sunny-side-up view of life, is offering their day of free Grand Slams to the breakfast craving public on Tuesday, February 9, via a Super Bowl commercial.

Even if they do have their sports terms a little mixed up, Denny's is also offering a chance to win a free Grand Slam breakfast every week for a year, as well as a free burger and fries to the first 500,000 people that sign up for the new Denny's Rewards program. Cheers to the Saints, Colts, and another greasy plate of breakfast history in the making.

• The Hot Dish is already busy looking past the Super Bowl and trying to map out the 5 most low brow Valentine's Day dinners. That's right White Castle, we're looking in your direction.

Okay, so it was between Eggsecution and Eggpocalypse, but either way this breakfast is a total bloodbath.

​Move over greasy junk food, there's a new Super Bowl sheriff in town, and his name is Vegetables. According to a new study by NPD Group market research firm, the number one spot for Super Bowl Sunday foods is held by none other than the all-natural, grown-from-the-earth vegetables over other temptations like salty snacks, pizza and chicken wings.

"Official" list after the jump.

• Fat City starts things off by directing everyone to a blog about putting weird things in coffee. We'll give you two guesses what it's called.

You don't have to be Tim Roth to know at least half of this sign is an outright lie. We hope it's the part about this meal actually being vegetarian.
