When Does Wendy's Stop Serving Breakfast And Start Serving Lunch?

Known for "fresh-never-frozen" burgers and on-the-go, easily upgradeable chili, Wendy's is an American road trip institution serving up fast food fare from french fries to frigid Frostys. In addition to its lunch and dinner menu, the chain also boasts a breakfast menu featuring honey-smothered chicken biscuits, sausage and cheese English muffins, protein-packed croissants, bacon burritos, potato wedges, and Cinnabon provisions. But like most fast food juggernauts, the Wendy's breakfast menu doesn't last all day.

Most Wendy's locations begin serving breakfast at 6:30 a.m. local time and transition to the lunch and dinner menu at 10:30 a.m. However, some Wendy's open slightly earlier and may start serving breakfast at 6 a.m. Breakfast cut-off can vary by location, so it's best to confer with your local Wendy's to confirm its exact breakfast hours.

Customers can order Wendy's breakfast in person, ahead of time through the chain's mobile platform, or via delivery using the Wendy's app or other participating third-party delivery services. However, breakfast delivery doesn't begin until 8 a.m., so you'll need to order in-store or place a pick-up order if you're craving Wendy's breakfast before 8 a.m.

Most Wendy's prioritize serving exclusively breakfast items during breakfast hours, but some locations may accommodate lunch and dinner requests before 10:30 a.m. Wendy's operates on a made-to-order system, so even if a specific restaurant agrees to serve lunch items like the chain's best burger at breakfast, it may take longer to prepare than a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. Wendy's frequently features exclusive in-app promotions for its breakfast menu, so consider checking for available coupons before placing your early-bird order.
