Joyland combines classic Southern fast food with a dash of inspiration taken from Japanese convenience stores. The restaurant is perfect to satiate midnight munchies on the weekend. This stop lives up to its name because it is tough not to be full of joy the second you step into this colorful restaurant. The decor is reminiscent of a diner from the 70s, with bright blue, red, and yellow stripes shooting across white walls. The "Joyburger Deluxe" is a classic complete with pickles, onions, and "Joysauce."
The Treehouse has a special menu only available for their nighttime patrons. That, combined with the occasional late-night hours, The Treehouse is a regular haunt for Nashville's nightlife. The "Wagyu Korean Corndog" is a fantastic pick. This Korean corndog is made with A5 wagyu, crunchy ramen, mozzarella cheese, and served with smoked ketchup and IPA mustard. The house chips are a great shareable item; they are flavored with herbs and sour cream, then cooked crispy and thin.

This unassuming building is full of good food and good people. An order of drunken fries is always a great choice. This delicious partible creation is a basket of house-made fries (or tots) smothered in smoky poblano queso, applewood bacon, and jalapenos then topped with a dollop of sour cream. As far as main dishes, the chicken Po'boy is a must-try. This sandwich is piled high with crispy fried chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and Duke's mayo, all atop a classic Leidenheimer French Po'boy bun.
Noble's is a great grub during the witching hour. They offer a more elevated experience while retaining a Nashville bar's good-natured fun. With many options, most built around one of the several house-smoked types of meat, it is difficult to make a wrong choice on Noble's menu. For appetizers, the burnt-end sliders will quell any late-night hunger pains. These sliders are made with slow-roasted brisket on a buttered yeast roll with a side of slaw. The smell of the brisket is enough to get anyone's stomach rumbling. An excellent choice for entrees is "The Nashville Ferdie." This next-level roast beef sandwich is smothered in provolone cheese, oregano brown gravy, lettuce, mayo, and pickle chips, all on a hoagie.
A Broadway staple. With a building from 1892 and a restaurant 30 years in the running, this place has been tested by time and has passed with flying colors. Swing by for some duck fat tater tots and a tasty build-your-own burger; a single large patty, cooked to preference, stacked with topping choices on a brioche. The Jambalaya is also a satisfying dish. This traditional Cajun stew is full of chicken, jumbo gulf shrimp, andouille sausage, and dirty rice, all swimming in a spicy creole tomato sauce.
Located in the historic district of Germantown, Monell’s Dining has served family-style comfort food since 1995. While this all-you-can-eat southern cuisine hotspot often opens during business hours, they host "midnight country breakfast," classic American food every Saturday. This buffet includes pancakes, sausage, bacon, grits, hash browns, juices, and freshly brewed coffee. One of the few options for breakfast food after midnight, Monell's does not disappoint.
