Are you a fan of McDonald’s breakfast and wish you could enjoy it all day long? I know I am! I love having “breakfast for dinner” and nothing beats a delicious sausage McMuffin, especially as a late-night snack. Here’s everything you need to know about McDonald’s breakfast hours and the current all-day breakfast situation so you can plan your life accordingly.
First things first, does McDonald’s serve breakfast all day? Unfortunately, the answer is no. McDonald’s stopped serving all-day breakfast back in 2020 when the pandemic hit. This was a huge bummer for breakfast lovers like myself who enjoy a hash brown and Egg McMuffin at 10 o’clock at night.
What time does breakfast end and lunch begin at McDonald’s? Breakfast officially ends at 10:30 a.m. However, some locations may still have plenty of breakfast items up until 10:45 a.m., so it’s worth checking with your local McDonald’s to see if they’re still serving breakfast items past 10:30 a.m.
McDonald’s breakfast hours are from 5 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., seven days a week, and basically 363 days a year. The only two days when the vast majority of McDonald’s close their doors are on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. Some franchise owners may also decide to close on Thanksgiving Day.
Now, for the burning question on everyone’s minds: will McDonald’s ever bring back all-day breakfast? The answer is hopefully yes. Before the pandemic, most McDonald’s locations served breakfast all day long.
However, it became too expensive to continue doing so when they were losing employees and having trouble getting breakfast items delivered. My hope is that at some point, all-day breakfast at McDonald’s will come back, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, make sure you plan your McDonald’s breakfast cravings accordingly and enjoy those breakfast items before 10:30 a.m. Happy dining!
