What time does mcdonalds stop serving breakfast saturday

It all started in 1970 with the introduction of the Egg McMuffin. Since then, we’ve been left trying to cram our fast food breakfast cravings into certain hours on the clock. But when exactly does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast nowadays, and what’s that All-Day Breakfast Menu about?

Can you guess the 10 oldest restaurant chains in America?

All-Day Breakfast menu

For decades, company policy insisted that breakfast hours end sharply at 10:30 a.m. One minute late and you would have to order from the main burger menu, as many late-to-rise fans found out.

But in 2016, McDonald’s decided to cut us some slack and started serving an All-Day Breakfast Menu. Sure, you can’t get the entire menu all day, but you can order staple items like hotcakes, hash browns, Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfaits, McMuffins, and Sausage McGriddles, 24/7.

McDonald’s breakfast hours vary by location, but they begin serving breakfast when a restaurant opens for the day, which at most locations means 7 a.m. Locations that are open 24/7 could start serving breakfast earlier than that, typically about 6 a.m., but some even start at 4 a.m.!

When does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?

The exact breakfast hours are up to the individual franchise owner, but most restaurants will serve a full breakfast menu until 10:30, at which time they switch to a limited breakfast menu, or the All-Day Breakfast Menu. That’s the time they’ll also start serving cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets.

So what items can you only get in the morning?

For those who remember the thrill of waking up early enough to actually catch a McDonald’s breakfast, there’s still a bit of thrill left for you. There are many items not included in the All-Day Breakfast Menu that you only have the opportunity to order before 10:30 a.m. According to McDonald’s website, breakfast-only items include Fruit & Maple Oatmeal, Egg White Delight McMuffin, Steak Egg and Cheese Biscuit, the Big Breakfast, and the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes.

So if you have your heart set on any of these favorites, you better rise and shine and still yourself to McDonald’s before 10:30 a.m.

Whether you’re trudging home from a long night shift or dealing with the hangover from hell, sometimes you just can’t beat a McDonald’s breakfast.

That’s why it’s devastating when you realise you’re a little too late to get your hands on a sausage and egg McMuffin (with a hash brown on the side, of course).

Despite dozens of petitions spanning years (if not decades), McDonald’s doesn’t serve its breakfast items all day.

Here’s when you can get it.

When does McDonald’s breakfast start and finish?

The time McDonald’s breakfast starts depends on the restaurant.

If it’s a 24-hour restaurant, they tend to switch over to their breakfast menu at 5am.

The regular restaurants start serving breakfast when they open, which is often 6am.

McDonald’s stops taking breakfast orders at 11am.

It used to be 10.30am, but the chain mercifully decided to add an extra half hour back in November 2019.

Why can’t you get McDonald’s breakfast all day?

McDonald’s says its kitchens can’t accommodate cooking its regular items alongside breakfast items.

Its website says: “Items on our breakfast menu are cooked slightly differently and at a different temperature from items on our main menu.

“This means we don’t have enough space in our kitchens to accommodate the cooking and preparation of our breakfast and main menus at the same time.

“The 11am cut off enables us to accommodate our breakfast lovers, whilst allowing the customers who enjoy our main menu to get their food before 11.30am.”
