Satisfy late-night cravings at Baton Rouge restaurants open late

Editor’s note: This article has been updated since original publication to add additional restaurants and remove some that are no longer serving food.

Most dietitians would say you shouldn’t eat after 8 p.m. But let’s be real: Once the clock strikes 9 and your stomach starts rumbling, it’s almost impossible not to satisfy your late-night cravings.

Thankfully, the Capitol Region is filled with restaurants and bars serving light bites, meals and desserts after 9 p.m.—some even offer special late-night snack menus. And on the weekends, several restaurants extend their hours to as late as 3:30 a.m. Here are a few restaurants to keep handy next time you need a late dinner or just want a midnight snack.

Call bars and restaurants to confirm kitchen hours and menu offerings. Know of a restaurant or business open late not included here? Tell us about it in the comments!
