What Time Does McDonald's Stop Serving Breakfast?

what time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast

I grew up in the country, so I’m no stranger to food trucks. But when my family and I got into town on a Sunday, we’d always get breakfast at McDonald’s. It was something that had been a tradition of ours for years. We loved getting our favorite breakfast sandwiches and coffee from the golden arches. While there is some controversy over the food quality at fast-food restaurants like McDonald’s, we never thought twice about what we were eating there.

BREAKFAST MENU FOR THE WHOLE DAY

Breakfast hours were to finish promptly at 10:30 a.m. for decades, according to business policy. Many late-to-rise fans discovered that if they arrived one minute late, they would have to order from the main burger menu. However, in 2016, McDonald’s decided to give us a break and introduced an All-Day Breakfast Menu. Sure, you won’t be able to order everything on the menu all day, but you can get hotcakes, hash browns, Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfaits, McMuffins, and Sausage McGriddles at any time.

WHEN WILL MCDONALD’S BREAKFAST BE AVAILABLE?

McDonald’s breakfast hours vary by location, although they usually start serving breakfast at 7 a.m. when the restaurant opens for the day. Locations that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week may begin serving breakfast earlier, usually about 6 a.m., but some may begin as early as 4 a.m.

WHEN DOES MCDONALD’S STOP SERVING BREAKFAST?

Breakfast hours vary by franchise, however, most restaurants will provide a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m., after which they will convert to a limited breakfast menu or the All-Day Breakfast Menu. Cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets will be available at that time as well.

SO, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE MORNING?

There’s still a little excitement left for those who remember the joy of getting up early enough to have a McDonald’s breakfast. Many dishes are only available to order before 10:30 a.m. and are not included in the All-Day Breakfast Menu. Breakfast-only offerings include Fruit & Maple Oatmeal, Egg White Delight McMuffin, Steak Egg, and Cheese Biscuit, Big Breakfast, and Big Breakfast with Hotcakes, according to McDonald’s website.

So, if you have your heart set on any of these faves, you’d better get up early and go to McDonald’s by 10:30 a.m.
