The daily restaurant hours for this one tend to vary, but Thursday and Fridays are the nights to be there! This establishment serves a wide variety of hot dogs for such a small joint so if you’re in the mood for a good hot dog, be sure to hit this place up.

Open until 1am Mondays-Wednesday and until 2am Thursdays-Saturdays

This list wouldn’t be complete without sharing where to get pizza late at night. Woodstock’s is a popular place downtown you can sit down at or choose to pay for delivery. If you want to feel a little better about yourself, you can always get your healthy-(ish) on by ordering the whole wheat dough.

7. Thai Canteen

Open until 2am Tuesdays to Saturdays

There are many Thai restaurants around Davis, but this one is popular for its good food, relatively cheap prices, and late closing times. You order at the counter and then find a table, so food is brought to you fairly quickly.

8. In-N-Out Burger

Our fries are made from fresh, real potatoes that are hand-washed, peeled, cut and cooked in 100% vegetable oil.

Just for those who are out of the loop, In-N-Out is open decently late throughout the week. It’s cheap pricing and deliciously savory food makes this famous burger joint one of the most popular destinations for local college students.
