9. Burger Boy Diner — Louisville, KY
Three words describe Louisville’s drunk food scene — Burger Boy Diner.
Those three words capture the imagination of drunk college kids from the University of Louisville. The item that draws to them like flies? The smothered chili cheese fries, which is a gooey slice of food heaven that’s just waiting to get into your tummy.
Granted, Burger Boy Diner has other menu items that are just as good, including their mouth-watering burgers, but it’s the fries that make it famous, and rightfully so. So don’t skip out on the Burger Boy Diner, a true legend among the drunk college kids of Louisville.

8. El Tako Nako — Charlottesville, VA
Street trucks have become a thing in Charlottesville, VA, home of the University of Virginia.
Granted, every city within earshot of 50,000 in population has at least one food truck, but in this Central Virginia university burg, there is one truck that may have won the title of “Best in VA.”
That truck is El Tako Nako (see, Mexican cuisine wins again!) a truck that serves up authentic tacos, burritos, and other classic Mexican staples for a low price, right from a truck. If that doesn’t scream drunk food, we don’t know what else does.
