What Time Does The Chick-Fil-A Breakfast Menu End?

Many fast food enthusiasts love Chick-fil-A for its menu of classic fried chicken fare, cups of sweet tea, and those ever-iconic crispy waffle fries. For its fan-favorite menu and drive-thrus, Chick-fil-A is consistently ranked as one of the most popular fast food chains in the US. The chain has plans to expand overseas, too. While Chick-fil-A is perhaps best known for its lunch and dinner menus, the breakfast offerings don't lag far behind in terms of popularity. From Hash Brown Scramble Bowls and savory Chicken, Egg, and Cheese Biscuits to parfaits featuring Greek yogurt, there seems to be a little something for everyone.

However, appreciated as it may be, the breakfast menu is not available all day. It's only available for a limited time in the morning. So, if you want a taste of Chick-fil-A's breakfast items, you'll have to get to the restaurant before 10:30 a.m. or risk missing the chance to start your day with a 10-count Heart-Shaped Tray of Chick-n-Minis.

If you're craving a fluffy Chicken Biscuit or steamy Egg White Grill, showing up after 10:30 a.m. will likely get you turned down. After this period is over, breakfast is done for the day to make room for the lunch rush. While the opening hours of each Chick-fil-A restaurant differ, 6:30 a.m. is the latest each will unlock its doors (and sometimes even 6:00 a.m.), so early birds can indulge in their breakfast favorites anytime after that point.

For all those who feel like they need that iconic chicken sandwich first thing in the morning, sorry, but you'll have to wait. Chick-fil-A does not serve lunch during its breakfast hours and never serves breakfast during lunch either. Aside from Sundays, Chick-fil-A is also closed on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. If you ever are unsure if a store near you is open or want to check out specific hours at that location, you can always check Chick-fil-A's website or app.

For a portable breakfast, the chain's Chick-n-Minis have long been a fan favorite. The meal features Chick-fil-A nuggets blanketed in tiny, honey-buttered yeast rolls. Whether you want a quick morning snack or a filling meal, they come in packs of four or 10 (heart-shaped tray optional), so diners can satisfy cravings big or small. For something a little heartier, the chain's classic chicken biscuit is another popular choice.

To pair with your entree, the chicken chain's hash browns are another popular side item and are often ranked as one of the chain's most-ordered items of all. These little golden-brown slices of heaven are fried in canola oil and come out deliciously crisp and warm. 

Whether you prefer to order your Chick-fil-A on the app or inside at the counter, there are plenty of options to choose from off its popular breakfast menu. Just make sure you get there in time.
