Where to eat in Cola after 10 p.m. 🌝

Scenario 1:

You just got off of work. It’s late. You’re too tired to cook and too sick of eating Cook Out again because basically everything else is closed. Where do you go?

Scenario 2:

You got a little too happy at happy hour. It’s late – you need food before you get home (that Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower pizza in your freezer just isn’t going to cut it). What do you do?

Well, Cola, we turned to you to help us get through these tough times.

Here’s a list of reader-recommended best late-night food spots in town (with photos of popular dishes) – click here or the button below to feast your eyes.
