What Time Does Mcdonald’s Stop Serving Breakfast?
McDonald’s in the United States stops serving breakfast at 10:30 am. That’s the official closing time for breakfast. However on, Saturdays and Sundays, they extend for half an hour, as they stop taking orders from the breakfast menu at 11:00 am.
One of my close friends once shared a story with me. He arrived at McDonald’s 5 minutes after the breakfast closing time, but the staff was kind enough to serve him breakfast anyway. They explained that while they try to stick to strict schedules, they are willing to make exceptions for customers arriving 5-10 minutes late if it’s not an issue regarding management & food availability.

Is McDonald’s All-Day Breakfast Still Available?

Why Did McDonald’s Stop Their All-Day Breakfast?
In 2020, McDonald’s announced that they would discontinue their All-Day Breakfast service.
McDonald’s had to make tough choices to keep their restaurants running smoothly while prioritizing their employees’ and customers’ health and safety amidst the challenges posed by COVID-19.
So, eventually, that made up the choice to stop the All-Day Breakfast menu temporarily. While it’s disappointing for people who like to have egg McMuffin all day, on the other hand, McDonald’s is doing their best to come back with a solution.
