Standard Breakfast Hours
Chick-fil-A typically serves breakfast from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM Monday through Saturday. However, these hours can vary slightly depending on the location. Some restaurants, particularly those in busy urban areas or airports, might open earlier or serve breakfast slightly later.
Pro tip: Use the Chick-fil-A Restaurant Locator to confirm your local restaurant's specific breakfast hours.
Why Breakfast Ends at 10:30 AM
The 10:30 AM cutoff is standard for many fast-food chains. This timing allows the restaurant to transition smoothly from breakfast to lunch service. Preparing for the lunch rush requires time to switch out ingredients and set up for the new menu items.

Campus Locations
Restaurants on college campuses might adjust their breakfast hours to align with class schedules and student dining patterns.
Sunday Closure
Remember that Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, so breakfast service is not available. This policy has been in place since 1946 when founder Truett Cathy established the tradition.
