We all know the age-old dilemma. You’re out with your friends, everyone’s having a great night and suddenly hunger strikes. Now it’s a time-based strategy game to lure your friends to a local restaurant, and they’re all closed.

Before you load up the gang for another post-bar trip to Waffle House, check out these six late-night bites across Alabama.

Quick Grill | Tuscaloosa

You know a place is good when they don’t have their own website. Word of mouth alone keeps Quick Grill alive, and once you dig into a cheesy plate of messy fries, you’ll get it, too.

Jack Brown’s | Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville + Auburn

Jack Brown’s is a staple of late-night-eats across the Yellowhammer State, from Birmingham to Huntsville, and even our big college towns. You can even keep the party going with one of their 100+ beers on tap.

LoDa Bier Garten | Mobile

If Callaghan’s has the best burger in Mobile—LoDa 100% has the best burger downtown. The burger is always juicy, the cheese is always melty and the beer is always ice cold.

Insomnia Steak & Grill | Auburn

Looking for a post-game snack on the Plains? Insomnia Steak & Grill is just steps away from campus, so no Uber necessary to get some grub after a Tiger win.

The Chicago Cafe | Florence

Usually, burger joints reign supreme in the “restaurants for night owls” category—but Florence’s Chicago Cafe is a hot dog spot serving up some unique food combinations.

  • What to order: Dog of the Month—September’s “Popeye Dog” is slathered with spinach + artichoke dip, cheese + fried onions.
  • Address: 106 E Mobile St #4761, Florence, AL 35630
  • Hours: Sun-Thurs, 11-2AM | Fri + Sat, 11-3AM

Furniture Factory Bar & Grill | Huntsville

Furniture Factory is great because you can have your night out and your midnight snack all under one roof. From karaoke to college football watch parties, there’s always some fun to get into.
