PHILADELPHIA -- It didn't take long for Super Bowl-starved Eagles fans to start planning for February 4!

In fact, some of the city's favorite places to watch the game already started getting calls before the end of the NFC Championship game.

At Chickie's and Pete's, the sound of cheering fans on Sunday night soon gave way to the sound of ringing phones by Monday morning.

"The first reservation requests that came in weren't from phone calls. They were from people at the tables at the end of the 3rd and 4th quarter. They wanted to know, 'How can I get a seat here for the Super Bowl?'" said Andre Bennett of Chickie's and Pete's.

While the phones were ringing off the hook - reservations to watch the Super Bowl here must be made online.

Managers here at the South Philly location tell us Super Bowl packages will cost $125 per person, including all you can eat and drink from a limited menu.

Nick's Roast Beef in Northeast Philadelphia was also busy on Monday.

"Folks are recovering from a madhouse celebration. Tickets for the Super Bowl party are on sale now. $40 will get you access to a buffet of Nick's game day specialties," said Matt Rossi, the general manager of Nick's Roast Beef. "Everything from ribs, to snow crab legs, mussels, obviously roast beef and roast pork."

At Pub 36 in Mayfair, we found owners experimenting with green cocktails for their Super Bowl party. No tickets are required to watch the game here, and they're expecting a passionate crowd.

"It's huge. It's huge. It's been a great year. We've been packed every game. It's huge. This is as big as it gets in my lifetime," said co-owner Joe Finley.
