Late Night Food on the SF Peninsula

37 places in 11 towns

The Peninsula goes to bed early, so these are the places that keep serving after most kitchens close, from ramen and Korean fried chicken to pub food and doughnuts. San Mateo has the most options, with more in Burlingame and Daly City. Late hours often apply only on certain nights, and kitchens may close before the bar, so check before you go.
