Snarf's
Locations downtown, by St. Louis University and by Washington University.

This isn’t Subway. This sandwich shop is so much better -- and you can get a sandwich just the right size and made with just the right fixings to put those munchies to sleep. You don’t even have to talk to a human to order -- just order online and that sandwich will show up at your door. Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

Here we have a Nathan's all beef dog with American cheese and bacon, as well as Snarf's own hot giardiniera. And don’t forget to top your order off with chips, salads and dessert (Ice cream! Milkshakes! Floats! Cookies! Brownies! Cue the sugar high...) Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

If you want to pretend you're a cool kid instead of just a stoner with the munchies, order up some grub from this trendy noodle house. You’ll get a taste of Southeast Asian cuisine for a fair price.

Choose from wok/grill selections, such as lemongrass beef with spicy cucumbers and chilled sesame noodles or cashew chicken with pineapple on crispy noodles. Get some of the appetizers, soups, sides, salads and desserts while you’re at it. Except on Sundays. The people at Bobo Noodle House deserve a day off, too. RFT photo.

A Mizzou student favorite since opening in Columbia in 2008, Hot Box has a steady fan club for a good reason -- these cookies are just so darn good, and you can get them delivered as late as 2 a.m. on weekends.

You read that sign right. You can get Pointer’s Pizza until 2 a.m., and you don’t even have to leave the couch. Bonus: it’s home of the Pointersaurus. What’s that, exactly? Glad you asked.... Photo courtesy of Flickr / Jonathan Ball.

China King
3849 Gravois Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63116
(314) 771 - 8881

Sometimes, you just have an intense craving for Chinese food. Nothing fancy, just typical, Americanized Chinese food, with takeout boxes filled high with orange chicken and crab rangoon. Photo courtesy of Flickr / Joe Green.

China King will take care of that need for you -- and deliver it right to your door if you want. It's simple, it's good and, most importantly, it will shut up those munchies for good.

Or until your next joint. But that's besides the point. Photo courtesy of Yelp / Michael B.

Peno
7600 Wydown Blvd.
Clayton, MO 63105
(314) 899-9699

“Man, I’m craving southern Italian soul food” is not something that usually goes through your head when hunger pangs strike. But really, when does Italian not sound good? You won’t get your stereotypical pasta at Peno (though it is an option) -- you’ll have an extensive menu of pizzas, sandwiches and soul food sides. Photo by Sarah Fenske.

The sides list includes Calabrese-style spinach with egg (pictured), braised greens in lemon sauce, rice with chicken livers & lentils, and more. Open Tuesday through Saturday, Peno delivers as late as 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. on weekends. That should basically seal the deal if you’re debating whether or not to order something.
