Updated – Jul 1, 2020 (I’ve done ok, getting rid of places that have closed but keeping up with hours is tough. Please check before you start walking or getting in car to go to these places)
For the purposes of this post, we are defining late night as after midnight. We eliminated the places that have kitchens but don’t serve food after midnight. Let’s start with the places that are open 24 hours a day. Most of these places have multiple locations so you can click the links to learn more
Also, you should go ahead and bookmark/share with your friends cause you may not remember this when you need it the most.

Just wanted to say this is truely an outstanding list. Well done!
Thanks for doing this. I found it on google and will share it on my full fb. Great list. Now time to choose. 🙂
Mrs. Johnsons Bakery is on Airport and is open from 7:30pm – Noon the next day, all week long. They serve AMAZING donuts and if you go in, rather than through the drive-thru, the owner might give you a fresh-from-the-fryer glazed donut! Omnomnom!
Thanks Kirsten…we already have that one 🙂
You need to put up all city subs. they have the best subs and sandwiches in Austin. located on 6th and pedrenales ,outside of st. roch’s bar. THE BEST SUBS IN TEXAS!!!! And they deliver!!! Owners ask awesome guy and makes EVERYTHING homemade, very very good stuff!!

Thank you for this list! It would be great if you had a Pville section.
One of my favorites should be added.
TEXAS CHILI PARLOR
Open every day from 11am to 2am
Thanks…a little embarrassing I didn’t already have that one.
I think the Potbelly’s near campus is open until 2AM on weekends, you might want to double check though.
Its 1 AM…thanks
You need to add MunchyMart to this list! New late night delivery service for food, beer, and tobacco in Austin.
The hours aren’t on their website. We have asked them to provide. WE will add as soon as we can find out.
Sadly all City subs is relocating and not open now..
True. They have resigned a lease, but I will take them off for now. Thanks.
Mahalo! This list is aaaaaa-mazing. Wait, no, this list is aaaaaaa-mazing! But by default, a bag of tortillas, chips, and cheese from Taco Cabana usually end up on my dining room table at 3 AM after a night of drinking. When I wake up? Sometimes the bag is still there, sometimes it’s in the trash, and other times chips are all over the floor and I just can’t figure out why. But, I do recall frisbeeing the tortillas across the room, so the one on top of the lamp shade comes as no surprise. Again, mahalo!
Thanks for the great list. I found it very helpful. Suggestion – instead of linking to the company website home page, link instead to their pages listing their locations. Just as a time saver. Thanks again.
