We’ve all been there. You’re leaving a late-night show or wrapping up a night on the town, and the midnight munchies hit. But it seems like the lights are off and the grills are cold at all your favorite KC restaurants.
Well, that’s not quite true — because there are definitely joints that cater to nighttime eaters, offering everything from pizza to burgers to tacos. So save this list for the next time you’ve got an after-hours craving past 10 p.m.
Please note: these listings are based on Friday hours.
