Great nights can, unfortunately, come with even greater hangovers. Whether you’ve got a case of the spins, a headache, an upset tummy, or a deadly combination of the three, a stack of fluffy pancakes; a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel; or Red Lion Pub’s Full English breakfast might just be the thing you need to soothe your body and soul.

While that last shot of tequila might not have been the best idea, a meal at any of these 12 spots would be an excellent choice to help ease that hangover.

Burger Bodega

Houston’s newest smash burger will keep things spicy, tasty and just the right amount of greasy. Opt for the chopped cheese or the famous smash burger-double with American cheese, grilled onions, housemade pickles, and bodega sauce, and get a side of loaded fries for good measure. Take a Vietnamese coffee milkshake to-go to keep in the freezer for later. You will thank yourself.
