Its known to pretty much everyone that Covington does not have a lot to eat, and even less late at night. Studying for hours on end, I sometimes check my clock and see that is very late into the a.m. and need to eat these are some of the best places to go!
Waffle House
- The restaurant equivalent to a college student. Rushed, quick, cheap, easy and always available. Going to Waffle House is always a trip and always enjoyable. My favorites are to get smother hash browns with hot sauce and the hot chocolate. I genuinely think the WaHo Hot Chocolate is some of the best in the world. Their waffles are also really good too! Most WaHo are open 24/7 so you can always get to one if you are ever in need of a fix.
Wendy’s
- Wendy’s is open until 1 and has a variety of food available. Being a fast food option, Wendy’s is cheap and fast. A Frosty tastes good at any hour! The Spicy Chicken Snack Wrap is the best thing on the menu too
Kroger
- A bit unconventional, but the local Kroger is open 24hrs and are good for chips and sodas. If you are super hungry you can always get a microwave meal too. I like to get midnight cookie dough and make cookies or get popsicles.
Checkers
- Really good options and drive through friendly. Tons of different options and sandwiches
Sonic
- Half Price milkshakes after 8pm and they’re open until 1am? Did I mention you don’t even need to move your foot on the pedal, you can just stay in the car? Need I say more?
Honorable Mentions
These places are great too but they close early
Bangcock Grill
- Its everything I am looking for in a sit down restaurant. Cheap, quick, and delicious. I make it a point to order the thai iced tea, its delicious and served in a beer mug. Every time I go here I get something different and it is all great!
Scoops
- Good atmosphere even better ice cream
