No, McDonald's isn't bringing back its popular all-day breakfast next month.

The fast-food giant ended the offering during the early days of pandemic lockdowns as part of a broader scheme to simplify service. Bloated menus can overwhelm customers, slow down kitchen operations and lead to longer drive-thru lines. Many U.S. franchisees cheered the decision, but customers have been asking the company's Twitter account about when all-day breakfast will return.

A Twitter user revived the conversation on Thursday, tweeting a screenshot of a McDonald's press release that said all-day breakfast would be served starting Oct. 6.

But bad news for Egg McMuffin lovers: a McDonald's representative confirmed that the release is from 2015, when the chain created its all-day breakfast menu.

Former CEO Steve Easterbrook launched the menu as part of a turnaround plan to revitalize the burger chain's sluggish sales, and the company credited the move for driving sales growth.

But it looks unlikely that the all-day breakfast menu will return. Even before the pandemic, operators had been asking the company to whittle down all-day breakfast items to speed up service.

As McDonald's management began looking to add menu items back after lockdowns ended, CEO Chris Kempczinski told analysts that his team was working with franchisees to make sure "every item that we add earns its way back onto the menu." With franchisee relations at a low point now over disagreements to new ownership terms, bringing back all-day breakfast could further fuel tensions.

McDonald's breakfast is an American delicacy. The perfect egg-to-bread ratio of an egg McMuffin, the savory taste of a McGriddle, and the sweetness of a

McCafé donut—these things and more have earned McDonald's a place in the morning routines of breakfast aficionados the nation over. To make sure you always know when and where you can score McDonald's breakfast, you need to know the chain's breakfast hours.

Does McDonald's serve breakfast all day?

Unfortunately, no. During the start of the pandemic, McDonald's got rid of its popular all-day breakfast "to simplify operations in our kitchens, which we saw provided better speed of service and order accuracy for our customers," they said in a tweet. Womp, womp.

Since then, there's been no word about bringing it back. However, an investigation from Eat This, Not That!reportedly found a handful of locations across the country still serving it all day. Maybe it's a sign of things to come? Time will tell.

So, when is McDonald's breakfast served?

Early risers will be delighted to know breakfast is available starting at 5 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. on weekdays, while on weekends it's possible to grab until 11 a.m.

However, opening times for breakfast might vary depending on location, since some 24-hour spots might function on a different schedule. You can always play it safe by calling up your local Golden Arches for their specific hours.

That being said, if your schedule cooperates with that of the McDonald's breakfast, go ahead and pencil in a trip or two on your way to work to start your day off right. With options like sausage biscuits, hot cakes, burritos, and those beloved hash browns, there is something for everyone.

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 [their] kitchens.”

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!

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!
