Late-Night Food Deals: What's Cheap After 10pm

Typical late hours by chain and the cheapest order at each. Hours vary by location — confirm in the app. Updated July 2026.

It's midnight, the dining hall is closed, and delivery fees are a scam. Here's what's actually open — and what it costs. (24-hour dining shrank after 2020; hours below are typical, always confirm your location in Google Maps or the chain's app.)

Who's open how late

Chain	Typical late hours	The late-night move
Jack in the Box	Many locations 24/7 (strongest in CA/TX/AZ)	Full menu all night, tacos 2-for-99¢ territory
Taco Bell	Most until 1am; many 2–4am; some 24/7 metros	$5.99 Luxe Box works at 2am; app deals apply all night
Wendy's	Commonly 1am, drive-thru sometimes later	$5 Biggie Bag — the best late-night value box
McDonald's	Select 24-hr locations (highways, metros)	App deals run 24/7 even when the lobby's closed
Sonic	Many until midnight–1am	Half-price drinks & slushes in the app, any hour
Domino's	Delivery often until 1–2am Fri/Sat	$7.99 carryout special beats delivery fees
Whataburger	24/7 at most locations (TX and the South)	Breakfast menu 11pm–11am
Denny's / IHOP	Many 24/7	Not fast food, but the eternal 3am backstop

Late-night rules of thumb

Drive-thru outlives the lobby. After ~10pm assume dining rooms are closed; the drive-thru line is the real schedule.
Order in the app before you get in line. Deals apply automatically and you skip the drive-thru menu-stare.
Check the app for hours, not the door. Chains update app hours faster than signage.
Weekends run later. Fri/Sat hours are typically 1–2 hours longer than weeknights.
