Remember the Taco Bell ‘Fourthmeal’ campaign from the mid-2000s? “There’s a moment at night when you gotta have a Fourthmeal.” Whether you’re winding down from a night out or battling the midnight munchies (or you’ve been out late fighting crime – hi, Batman!), finding an open spot to fuel late-night adventures is crucial. Read on to discover a few of Gwinnett’s best late-night eateries and ensure that you never go to bed hungry again.
For a Pho-nomenal Late Night Bite
Though pho is a traditional Vietnamese breakfast dish, modern night owls have deemed it the perfect post-drinking bedtime snack – some even say it cures any hangover that ails you. Whatever time of day you prefer pho, New Super Pho is there! What makes their pho so delicious is they simmer a special pho broth for over 10 hours, giving it the perfect balance of flavor and richness. Besides pho, they serve a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes including bánh mì. Open every day of the week from 8 a.m. until 2 a.m.!

For Night Owls Looking For an Adventure
Every friend group has one who turns into a pumpkin at midnight. Keep Cinderella alert and have a good time with an activity at TopGolf Buford! If hitting golf balls at giant targets in private heated and cooled bays doesn’t keep the peepers open, maybe their chef-driven menu will. From savory shareables like cheesy macaroni bites and buffalo chicken dip to decadent deserts like their iconic hole-in-ones which are cinnamon sugar-dusted donut holes, their menu has it all. If you like things extra sweet, order an injectable flavor of chocolate, raspberry jelly or Bavarian cream for your hole-in-ones. Open until 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and midnight Sunday through Thursday.

For Foodies Who Crave Something Different
If the first thing that comes to mind when you think of late-night eating is waffles and fast food, then think again: E.M. Bop offers authentic Korean BBQ and other traditional Korean dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The tabletop grilling experience is enhanced by charcoal grills for that rich, smoky Korean BBQ flavor and built-in fans pull the smoke away so you won’t go to bed smelling like a campfire. If you’re really hungry and ready to make a huge late-night mistake, the all-you-can-eat menu is a carnivore paradise. Open 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. every day (last call at 2 am).

For When Only a Classic Will Do
For all of the fun options on this list, sometimes all you want after a night out is a tried-and-true favorite: pizza. But don’t waste your time with some dude named Father Jon or Tiny Julius – give the killer pizza menu at Parma Tavern a go. They make their pizza dough fresh with Caputo 00 flour and shred a cheese blend in-house. Along with some toppings of your choice, it all goes into a brick oven to get baked to pizza perfection! The entire menu can be ordered in 14” (for sharing) or 8” (Joey doesn’t share food). The menu includes an eclectic mix of Italian-inspired tavern dishes, including hearty snacks, fresh pasta, house-ground burgers and monthly specials. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. and after 10 p.m., it’s 21+ only to enter.
