We’ve all been there. You’re leaving a late-night show or wrapping up a night on the town, and the midnight munchies hit. But it seems like the lights are off and the grills are cold at all your favorite restaurants.

Well, that’s not quite true — because there are definitely joints that cater to nighttime eaters with late-night meals of everything from pizza to ramen to burgers. Save this list for the next time you’ve got an after-hours craving.

Note: For this article, we will only be including when spots are open until 12 a.m. or later, check out full hours of operation on their websites.
