What time does McDonald's, Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell stop serving breakfast?
Is there anything more disappointing than waking up with a craving for a Whataburger honey butter chicken biscuit, a McDonald’s hash brown or some Chick-Fil-A chicken minis and pulling through the drive thru to discover that only lunch is being served?
There’s probably something more disappointing than that, but it is an easy way to spoil your morning. Here’s a master list of which fast food restaurants serve breakfast and when each one switches to lunch in Florida.
Which fast food chain had breakfast first?
McDonald’s was the first fast-food restaurant to offer breakfast. Its iconic breakfast menu, which at one point was served all day, all started when someone pitched the Egg McMuffin to the CEO of McDonald’s in the early 1970s.
Burger King was the second chain to attempt breakfast, in 1979. But the restaurant didn’t succeed with a permanent breakfast menu until 1983. Taco Bell didn’t start serving breakfast until 2014 and Wendy’s didn’t permanently offer breakfast until 2020.
Why doesn’t McDonald’s sell breakfast all day?
In 2015, McDonald’s began serving breakfast all day. But that ended during the pandemic and the restaurant hasn’t announced any plans to bring it back. The restaurant has said that having too large of a menu causes longer wait times in the drive thru and reportedly cut breakfast to help simplify operations for its workers.
Most McDonald’s serve breakfast from the time the restaurant opens through 10:30 or 11 a.m, depending on your store’s location. Some locations stay open 24 hours. These locations begin serving breakfast at 5 a.m. Some locations open at 4 a.m. and some open at 6 a.m.
What time does Chick-Fil-A stop serving breakfast?
You can buy Chick-Fil-A’s beloved chicken minis with a side of hashbrowns – or any of your favorite Chick-Fil-A breakfast items – until 10:30 a.m. everyday, according to the restaurant’s website.
What time does breakfast end at Wendy’s?
Wendy’s attempted to break into the breakfast scene in the ‘80s, but didn’t find success. In 2020, the restaurant brought breakfast back and it seems to be sticking.
The time breakfast switches to lunch depends on the location, according to Wendy’s website. The earliest a location starts serving breakfast is 6:30 a.m., with delivery beginning at 8 a.m. The latest you can buy breakfast at Wendy’s is 10:30 a.m.
What time does Burger King stop serving breakfast?

How late does Whataburger serve breakfast in Florida?
If you’re lucky enough to live close to a Whataburger, you can start enjoying the 24-hour restaurant's breakfast menu as early as the night before. This is what makes the restaurant’s honey butter chicken biscuit as popular of a late-night snack as it is a breakfast food.
You can buy breakfast at Whataburger from 11 p.m. through 11 a.m. at all 43 Florida locations.
