Here's When 15 Favorite Fast-Food Places Officially End Serving Breakfast (and What's the Best Deal) (2024)

For the bargain diner, grabbing a breakfast meal deal at your favorite fast-food spot is an excellent way to save money at restaurants. What’s more, if you happen to be in the mood for a breakfast burrito at 4 p.m., some popular spots even serve breakfast all day long.

However, others take breakfast off the menu by mid-morning, so we rounded up the breakfast time windows for some of the most popular fast-food joints (and some of their best deals as well).

Chick-fil-A fans have to get in early if they want to catch breakfast. The restaurant stops serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and is closed on Sundays.

If you arrive in time, Chick-fil-A has excellent chicken sandwiches in “breakfast portions” for around $5. Its much-loved egg sandwiches tend to be a bit pricier, around $6 or $7 depending on location.

Most Panera Bread cafés serve breakfast until 10:30 a.m., though hours may vary at certain locations.

Panera has an array of excellent breakfast sandwiches for around $6 each, like the Ciabatta, Egg & Cheese, and the Garden Avo & Egg White.

Burger King also cuts off its breakfast menu at 10:30 a.m., but if you can get there in time, the deals are well worth it.

Some of BK’s best early morning deals include a $4 biscuit sandwich and hash brown meal, and a $6 meal that includes two biscuit sandwiches, hash browns, and a coffee.

Most Wendy’s locations serve breakfast bargains between 6:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

The restaurant offers a “2 for $3” breakfast deal where guests can choose between items like a sausage & cheese English muffin, egg & cheese biscuit, seasoned potatoes, a coffee, and more.

Carl Jr.’s has an array of excellent breakfast options — like the Breakfast Burger and the Steak and Egg Burrito — but it’s another restaurant you’ll need to hit by 10:30 a.m. to nab breakfast.

If you can make it, plenty of its top breakfast sandwiches are a bargain at under $5 (depending on location).

Most McDonald’s restaurants serve breakfast until 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m., with some variety between locations.

The Mickey D’s breakfast menu is packed with delicious deals. Currently, favorites like the Sausage McMuffin and hash browns are on the $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu.

Whataburger has one of the longest breakfast windows out of any fast-food joint on this list (unless you count the ones that serve breakfast all day).

You can nab a breakfast burger or biscuits and gravy from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. daily. And plenty of its simpler sandwiches, like the egg sandwich or biscuit with sausage, are under $3.

Taco Bell fans have a bit longer to get to their closest location for breakfast — as most restaurants serve it until 11 a.m.

There are plenty of bargains to choose from on the breakfast menu, with an array of breakfast burritos, quesadillas, and even Crunchwraps for less than $5.

Some reports say that certain Subway restaurants stop serving breakfast at 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. However, other locations keep breakfast items available all day.

Subway has plenty of bargain wraps and sandwiches to choose from. A six-inch bacon, egg, and cheese flatbread is around $5.

The rest of the restaurants on this list are your all-day breakfast joints. It’s to be expected at coffee and Frappuccino peddler, Starbucks.

While Starbucks isn’t exactly known as the go-to spot for bargains, it offers an array of breakfast sandwiches and other items, like its popular egg bites, that only cost about $6.

Like Starbucks, Dunkin’ sells its breakfast items all day long, so if your local store is open, you can head in there and grab a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel whenever you want.

Of all the items on the breakfast menu, the Wake-Up Wraps, which typically cost around $3 to $4, are one of the best bargains.

This one is a bit more unexpected — as most people don’t think of bacon and eggs when they think White Castle, but the restaurant serves breakfast all day as well.

The breakfast menu is full of bargains, too. You can fill up on breakfast sliders for just over $2 each.

Jack in the Box is another fast-food favorite that’s jumped on the all-day breakfast train. There are quite a few meal deals, but the breakfast sandwiches alone are also bargains.

The Meat Lovers Croissant, for example, packs an egg, ham, bacon, and breakfast sausage all onto a croissant and sells for just $5.39.

Looking to eat breakfast for dinner? Sonic is another option, and its breakfast sandwiches are top-notch — and quite affordable.

The Bacon Breakfast Toaster and SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito are excellent (and very filling) choices, and both sell for less than $5.

It may not be the healthiest breakfast option, but if you’re looking to pick up a cinnamon roll and a nice cold brew or MochaLatte, Cinnabon serves breakfast items all day.

What’s more, a delicious order of classic BonBites goes for around $5.

Looking for bargain breakfast deals is a great way to stretch your fast-food budget — if you can make it in time for the breakfast menu. You can also pre-order many of your favorite fast-food breakfast items for pick-up the next day if you’re worried about missing your McMuffin window.
