McDonald’s breakfast items are some of the most popular things on the menu, but what time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast? Here’s everything you need to know.

It’s safe to say that McDonald’s has one of the most iconic breakfast menus of all time. The chain started serving breakfast in the 1970s, and its popularity has soared ever since. 

There have been phases when the chain tried serving all-day breakfast, however, this all ended abruptly in 2015, and the McDonald’s CEOs have yet to announce any plans to bring it back. 

This has led to some disappointed customers, who have pulled into drive-thru’s to get their morning fix, craving an Egg McMuffin sandwich, or a stack of warm Hotcakes, only to find that they’re now serving lunch. 

What time does McDonald’s breakfast end?

There is no specific time that McDonald’s stops serving breakfast, as it differs from each location.  However, most McDonald’s restaurants will serve breakfast until 10:30 – 11 AM, from the time they open their doors in the morning. 

Some McDonald’s locations, however, are open 24 hours a day, which means that they begin serving breakfast as early as 5 AM. Some overnight locations will even start breakfast at 4 AM and some at 6 AM. Therefore, it’s a good idea to call up your local establishment to grab all of the correct details.
