Where can you find late-night food in Boston? Boston.com just put together an ultimate late-night food guide to make your dining search easier — whether it’s a post-bar crawl meal or a dinner after the graveyard shift.

This late-night guide includes restaurants from every Boston neighborhood, except West Roxbury, and surrounding towns. Basically, if you’ve ever asked yourself, “where can I find late-night food that’s actually open near me?” this guide (and this map) has the answer.

Given that there are very few late-night restaurants in Boston open 24 hours, we had to settle on a somewhat broader definition of “late-night food.” In order to be included on this list, a kitchen had to be open at least until 11 p.m. one day a week.

A note about the hours listed below: Boston.com fact-checked whether kitchen hours were different from what is posted online by calling and emailing restaurants. These hours could change, and Boston.com will do its best to update these hours when they change.

For takeout options, which also sometimes differ from other hours posted online, check the restaurant’s website for more information.
