There’s nothing quite like the post-night-out hunger that hits after hours spent dancing, drinking, or just surviving a uni night out — and Glasgow’s late-night eats scene has got you covered. From cheesy chips to stacked burgers, here are some of the best spots to satisfy those 2am cravings (or your next-day hangover).
Loaded Fries – Sauchiehall Street
Loaded fries on Sauchiehall Street seems to be a hidden gem despite being in one of the busiest parts of the city—I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it, even though it’s one of personal favourites.
Their selection of various loaded fries (Mexican, donner, chicken katsu, pulled beef, etc.) is perfect for after stumbling out of the club or even a quick fix late dinner.
While it might not be the cheapest option on the list, their massive portion sizes and 15% student discount make them taste even better.
727 – Great Western Road
This list wouldn’t be complete without the holy grail of Hillhead.
Despite being one of the only late night food places open in the area – 727 does not disappoint and I don’t think any Glasgow Uni student can disagree.
I mean a chippie and kebab in the same place? Who can argue with that one?
Whether you’re 10 drinks deep leaving Oran Mór or have just spent way too long in the library, boss man will be sure to sort you out.
Kongz – Springfield Quay
I should preface that Kongz (formerly ‘Grillaz’) is a drive-through restaurant only; however, if you can, it’s definitely worth it to go.
You may have already seen them on TikTok, making them very popular in the Southside. Their menu includes, smash burgers, loaded fries, pizzas and more. While their food is a bit more on the pricey side, their portion sizes make up for it and are perfect for sharing.
With a drive through dessert place located next door to it, it’s a perfect two in one trip.
Taco Bell
Basic, I know. However, Taco Bell has saved my bank account with their cravings value menu after one too many doubles in the bar.
I really can’t fault it with their range of burritos, quesadillas, chips, and even offering vegetarian options as well.
A whole menu dedicated to being on a budget while still needing a cravings fix? A student who’s spent almost all of their SAAS payment in one week’s dream.
Blue Lagoon
A true staple. There are multiple locations in Glasgow, so no matter where you are in town there is sure to be one nearby.
They’ve been serving customers in Glasgow for 50 years now and have definitely established themselves as a true staple of the city, with the likes of Justin Bieber even taking a visit.
They have a sit-in area in some shops, although there’s nothing quite like waking up the next morning with remnants of your chips, cheese, and curry sauce on your clothes and face.
Desserts – Sauchiehall Street
This may seem like more of a rouge on in comparison to the others, but perfect for those with a sweet tooth.
If you’ve never had a cookie dough to line your stomach before heading to the club, don’t knock it till you try it.
prices for desserts range from around £8-£12, but justifiable in the name of a sweet treat. They also have an option to build your own toppings for dessert, perfect for those who are more picky or just want some variety.
