Pizza and dishes from Hoboken Pie.

by Nadia Chaudhury Updated

Austin's food scene extends deep into the night, where very hungry people seek out after-hour meals post-hang-outs, parties, bar crawls, or just general evening cravings. In the city, this means late-night restaurants, bars, and food trucks serving food well beyond the usual working day with midnight tacos, pizza, and fancier fare for those night owls, people working odd hours, or just those up late partying.

In Austin, the best late-night restaurants and food trucks mean people can seek out pizza from Via 313, enjoy the convivial charms of Peche, indulge in after-hours chicken tenders at Happy Chicks, partake in Korean fare at Seoulju, find tacos aplenty from various spots, and much more. For the purposes of this map, only restaurants and trucks serving food after midnight were included.
