Too late then, I’m afraid you got the crew who were more concerned about getting home at a slightly more healthy hour than giving you fresh food.
Never go in to any restaurant past 9pm unless it’s in a busy metro area and there are other people about or you are getting food that caters to drunk and high people that can be taken away.
Take out is probably OK but as OP has experienced, you won’t always get the freshest food.
Dining in and you’re basically just annoying people.
