As the best meal of the day, breakfast food is ready to kick-start your morning and wake you up for whatever you’ve got planned. And when it comes to fast food, McDonald’s breakfast is simply the best. Whether you’re big on McMuffins or cannot turn down their mouthwatering hotcakes, there’s a menu item for everyone. Even if you’re a vegan or vegetarian, the fruit and maple oatmeal is a great option. But of course, there has been one issue with McDonald’s breakfast — the hours.
To keep breakfast special, McDonald’s for years has kept their breakfast items on the menu just in the mornings. But there have been times where the fast food giant has offered their delicious breakfast meals all day long. All day breakfast was available up until March 2020, as Yahoo! Life reports, and the choice to stop was reportedly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a tweet from McDonald’s in July 2020, the restaurant explained that all day breakfast was taken off the menu “to simplify operations in kitchens.”

So how long is McDonald’s currently open for breakfast? Yahoo! Life also confirms that you can order all the yummy breakfast items you want from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. On Fridays, as a treat, you can still order breakfast up until 11:30 a.m.
Hopefully, we’ll get the return of McDonald’s all day breakfast sooner than later, and we’ll be sure to update you once we hear anything about it! In the meantime, there are fortunately other fast food chains offering breakfast items all day. These include Jack in the Box, Burger King, Sonic, as well as the breakfast staples Waffle House, IHOP, and Denny’s. Hopefully you’ll get your cravings met with those options!
