Is McDonald’s All-Day Breakfast Ever Coming Back? It’s 8 a.m. and you’re on your way to work. You want breakfast and you want it fast — and flavorful. What do you do? You swing by McDonald’s and snap up an Egg McMuffin. Ah, satisfaction. Or, let’s say it’s midnight and you’re heading home after a night out with friends.
You’re craving pancakes — or maybe something with several strata of sweet-inflected savory. What do you do then? You roll up to a 24-hour McDonald’s drive-thru, hoping for some late-night Hotcakes or a McGriddle and record scratch — these days, you may well be out of luck looking for breakfast at McDonald’s at an unusual hour.
To save you that disappointing moment, we’ve compiled the answers to a few common McDonald’s breakfast questions: McDonald’s breakfast hours and menus actually vary by location — individual restaurant franchisees and co-ops can decide what to serve and when at their own discretion — so if you’re a little confused, that’s totally understandable.

Why doesn’t McDonald’s serve breakfast later?
khaled82/Shutterstock Ever since McDonald’s launched its breakfast menu way back in 1972, via CNN, people had longed for the day that they can get a McMuffin for lunch, a McGriddle for a mid-afternoon snack, or even hotcakes for dinner should they be so wild.
It wasn’t until 2015 that McDonald’s announced that it would be launching an official all-day breakfast program nationwide. For nearly five years, customers could enjoy a combination of hash browns, french fries, breakfast sandwiches, and Quarter Pounders whenever the urge for a cheap, greasy fast-food breakfast struck them.
