Whether spending a long night studying in the Cooper library or on the way home after a fun night out at Tiger Town Tavern, there are plenty of options near your Clemson apartment available when grabbing a late-night snack. Believe me, I have been there. When the dining halls are closed and my dinner is not enough to fill me up, I am left desperately searching for the best place to eat to satisfy my hunger. Luckily, Clemson has an array of options that are perfect when looking for a delicious late-night snack.
Late-Night Snacks in Downtown Clemson
If you live near Downtown Clemson, you're in a great spot – it's home to some of the best places to eat in the area.
Todaro Pizza
For starters, Todaro Pizza is located in Downtown Clemson and is open until 3 A.M. on Wednesday-Saturday nights, 1 A.M. on Tuesdays, and 12 A.M. on Mondays. Its delicious pizza and quaint dining room make Todaro Pizza a favorite among those who live Downtown Clemson.
D.P. Dough
If you are in the mood for a different kind of pizza place, however, D.P. Dough is right down the street and open until 4 A.M. every night of the week. It offers calzones with diverse fillings, even including cheesecake and chili dog versions. D.P. Dough also has menu items like mouthwatering wings as well as tasty cheese, garlic, and cinnamon sticks.
Insomnia Cookies
Across from D.P. Dough is one of my personal favorite places to get a late-night snack, Insomnia Cookies. Insomnia is best known for its warm cookies, ice cream, and late-night deliveries, which leave customers completely satisfied. It has cookie and ice cream options that consist of the flavors double chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, birthday cake, white chocolate macadamia, peanut butter chip, and more (even several vegan options)!
Jimmy John's
Jimmy John's, open until 3 A.M. Thursday-Saturday and until 12 A.M. every other night, is another popular spot to grab a late-night snack in Downtown Clemson. Jimmy John's has a large selection of sub and club options (and yummy signature chips) that is almost guaranteed to provide something of your liking. At the heart of Downtown, Jimmy John's has a nice outdoor seating area that gives you a front row seat to people watching, which is especially fun on late-nights during a game day weekend!
Raising Cane's
On-Campus, Raising Cane's is open until 12 A.M. on Mondays-Saturdays and offers some of the best fried chicken, in my opinion. Their delicious "Cane's Sauce," savory Texas Toast, crispy chicken tenders, and late hours is just a few reasons why people find Raising Cane's a more than acceptable place to eat. In addition to their great menu, Raising Cane's in Clemson is located on the University's campus, making it an easily accessible place for college Freshmen and those who live on (or close to) campus.
Tyler's Pub
If you live in an apartment near Seneca, Tyler's Pub is open until 2 A.M. Thursday through Saturday and has a delectable menu with items ranging from specialty pizzas, wings, and burgers to salads, wraps, fried pickles, and so much more. They also provide an outdoor seating area, decorated with hanging lights and scattered with speakers playing "good ole" country music (if that is your thing). This is great for large groups and to help you relax after a long day. With a fun atmosphere and great food, Tyler's Pub is just one of the many possibilities in Clemson available to get a late-night snack.
Tiger Boulevard
If you live in an apartment off-campus, do not worry, there are several places open late that you might enjoy!
Cookout
For starters, Cookout on Tiger Boulevard has an extensive menu, specifically including a variety of milkshake flavors that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With over 30 different milkshake flavors and open until 3 A.M., Cookout is one of my favorite places to get a sweet treat after a long day.
Waffle House
Also on Tiger Boulevard, Waffle House is open all hours of the night and offers menu items from burgers to all kinds of breakfast foods. Not only does Waffle House provide tasty food, but it also is a great place to go when looking for a place to sit down and eat, for a good price.
Other Late Night Snacks
Other fast food restaurants on Tiger Boulevard perfect for a late-night snack include Wendy's, open until 1 A.M. Monday-Friday, and McDonald's, open 24 hours.
