After a Saturday night out with friends, dancing, laughing and a few drinks, it’s only natural to feel a little peckish come the early hours of the morning. Here are some great late, late night eats that can satisfy your cravings this weekend.
Blackfoot Truckstop Diner Grilled Ham and Cheese
Few things in this world taste as good at 3 a.m. as a crispy, grilled ham and cheese sandwich with a side of fries and a pool of ketchup. (1840 9 Ave. S.E., 403-265-5964)
Blind Monk Teriyaki Dry Ribs
A popular late night spot for industry staff, this pub dishes out food until 3 a.m. Go for a plate of the dry ribs tossed in teriyaki sauce for some salty, crispy, meaty goodness. (918 12 Ave. S.W., 403-265-6200, blinkmonk.ca, @BlindMonkPub)
Chicken On The Way Fried Chicken and Corn Fritters
This Kensington Institution is always packed during the weekend evenings. A few pieces of fried chicken to chow down on along with the signature corn fritters always hits the spot. (1443 Kensington Rd. N.W., 403-283-5545, chickenontheway.ca)
Clive Burger Double Cheese Burger
Skip the McDonald’s down the street and grab one of Clive’s fantstic burgers loaded up with Clive sauce and all the fixings. Might as well add a fried egg on there too. You’ve had a long night, you deserve it. (736 17 Ave. S.W. 403-461-7088, cliveburger.com, @CliveBurger17
KOOB Lamb And Beef Koobwich
This slick little spot in Mission serves up some tasty kebab wraps. Get your fill with grilled lamb and beef wrapped up with some hummus, pickled onions and a healthy dose of sriracha. (2015 4 St. S.W., 403-926-5662, koob.ca, @Koobalicious)
Shawarma Knight Donair Platter
For big appetites, order this giant plate of salad, hummus, pita, rice, lemon potatoes and a healthy portion of freshly shaved donair meat. Tip: any leftovers are equally delicious the following day for lunch. (1512 14 St. S.W., 403-244-3999, shawarmaknight.com)
Tubby Dog The A-Bomb
Try not to think of your caloric intake and definitely not recommended for regular consumption, this monster of a hotdog is piled high with cheddar cheese, bacon and crushed potato chips making for one hell of a late night meal. (1022 17 Ave. S.W., 403-244-0694, tubbydog.com, @tubbydoghotdogs)
U & Me Salt and Pepper Squid
Chinese food tastes so much better after 2 a.m., doesn’t it? There are many delicious plates that you can order at U & Me until 4 a.m., but the salt and pepper squid is a spicy dish that’s always welcome on the table. (223 Centre St. S., 403-264-5989, uandmerestaurant.ca)
