Chick-fil-A does NOT serve breakfast all day. Unlike Whataburger, for instance, the vast majority of breakfast items are only served first thing in the morning. So, if you want to try out some of their yummy breakfast items, here’s everything you need to know about the Chick-fil-A breakfast hours.

Breakfast Starts at 6 a.m.

Enjoy a Chick-fil-A breakfast as early as 6 am Monday through Saturday.

Don’t forget, Chick-fil-A is not open on Sundays.

Breakfast Ends at 10:30 a.m.

Chick-fil-A stops serving breakfast at 10:30 A.M., Monday through Saturday.

PRO TIP: TRY SCORING FREE FOOD AT 10:30 A.M.

Chick-fil-A is notorious for having leftover breakfast items when the swap out the kitchen for lunch at 10:30 every morning.

Instead of throwing away breakfast sandwiches they’ll OFTEN hand them out to folks in the dining area for free.

I’ve been at my local location several times and witnessed it for myself. I’ve seen a manager handing out chicken biscuits, hash browns, and even scramble burritos.

Some Breakfast Items Are Available All Day

There are some breakfast items (but not all) that you can order all day long.

In particular, you can order both the Greek Yogurt Parfait and the Fruit Cup at Chick-fil-A all day.

The rest of the breakfast items you can only order from 6 A.M. to 10:30 A.M.

PRO TIP: SPLIT A BREAKFAST BOWL INTO 2 MEALS

The Hash Brown Scramble Bowl is super filling and can easily be split into 2 meals saving you some money.

Simply order it with an extra tortilla (usually 50 cents), and split it into two breakfast burritos. It’s enough food to share or save for later.

Also, request extra Chick-fil-A sauce, salsa, or jalapeño salsa packets (they’re free) to add flavor when you turn the bowl into burritos. One packet can go a long way for both portions.

Another tip, ask for an extra egg (usually under $1) in your bowl to ensure both burritos have enough filling. The extra egg adds protein and keeps you fuller for longer.

Chick-fil-A Serves Coffee ALL Day Long

Chick-fil-A serves coffee and iced coffee all day long.

However, keep in mind that iced coffee (priced at $3.15) and frosted coffee (priced at $4.19) are more expensive than their regular hot coffee (priced at $2.09).

Some Chick-fil-A Offer a Weekly Free Breakfast

My local Chick-fil-A actually has a huge poster on the outside wall advertising a free breakfast EVERY Wednesday.

When I inquired on how it worked, I was told they hand out either a Chicken Biscuit Sandwich or a 4 count Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis every Wednesday between 6:30 – 10:30 am, no purchase required.

The friendly employee also said to come early if possible as the drive-thru lines gets really long by 9 am.

Check if your local Chick-fil-A offers something similar because it’s hard to beat free.

Lunch Not Available During Breakfast Hours

You cannot order Chick-fil-A lunch items during their breakfast hours.

You’ll have to wait until after 10:30 A.M. to order any of your favorite lunch items.

Breakfast Items Available From Their App

You can order Chick-fil-A breakfast items from both their app and their online menu on their website here.

On both the app and their website, you can choose to pick-up your breakfast items either via their drive-thru, carry-out, or curbside.

You Can Also Get Breakfast Delivered

You can also order your Chick-fil-A breakfast via a food delivery service like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, or Grubhub.

Just be sure to order any breakfast items you want during the designated breakfast hours between 6 A.M. and 10:30 A.M.

Are There Any “Secret Menu” Breakfast Items?

Yes and no.

While I’ve written about the unofficial Chick-fil-A secret menu, they’ve never posted anything official.

But there are definitely some unique “menu customizations” you can create with their breakfast items.

A few clever and tasty breakfast secret menu customizations include the following:

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy: According to a commenter on my secret menu article, when dining for breakfast, be brave and ask for a “biscuit with sausage gravy”. I was told you might have to wait a few minutes for them get the gravy ready…but worth every second.

Grilled Chicken Bagel: Order an Egg White Grill, ask for a bagel with cream cheese (not an English muffin), add Colby Jack (not American cheese), and add tomato to make this yummy bagel. (Credit to the Krazy Gals from Boise).

Spicy Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit: Order the Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, ask for a spicy chicken patty (not the original chicken patty), and consider adding sriracha or tomato. (Again, credit to the Krazy Gals from Boise).

Stuffed Mini Breakfast Sandwich: Order both Chick-N-Minis and hash browns from the menu. Then, take the hash browns (slather with dipping sauce if you’d like) and stuff them inside the sandwiches. (Credit to the Kelsey from the Menu Hacks Blog).

Ask the Reader: Are you a fan of the breakfast at Chick-fil-A? If so, do you wish their breakfast hours were all day long?
