Late-night food in Atlanta is mostly diners - pho is the exception
Search "24-hour restaurants Atlanta" and you'll find the same short list: Waffle House, a couple of classic diners like Landmark and Marietta Diner, and a donut shop or two. Almost everything else - including most late-night Asian restaurants - closes by 11:00 PM.
Master Pho is the only true 24-hour pho in the Atlanta metro area. While Pho 24 used to remain open for 24 hours, current market conditions have their locations closing at various times - the Buford Highway location now closes 6-10 AM daily, and others close by 8:30 PM. Check with your local location before visiting. Master Pho's dining room is open all night, every night, right on Buford Highway - Atlanta's most famous food corridor.
When should you come?
- After a late shift or a night out - hot broth beats a cold drive-through bag.
- Early flights - Hartsfield-Jackson is about 25 minutes down I-285; a 4:00 AM bowl of pho is a better send-off than airport coffee.
- Late study sessions - students pulling all-nighters, this one's for you.
- Whenever the craving hits - it's 24/7. There is no wrong time.
