When Does Hardee’s Transition from Serving Breakfast to Lunch?

It seems like nearly every chain is serving breakfast these days. While there’s definitely no shortage of fast food breakfast sandwiches, there isn’t always a guarantee that every chain does all-day breakfast. As such, it’s important to know exactly when each chain draws the line between breakfast and lunch.



At Hardee’s, which is not to be confused with Carl’s Jr., breakfast stops at 10:30 a.m. daily. However, confusingly, this exact cutoff time varies depending on location, according to the official Hardee’s website. It could also vary depending on item availability, but generally speaking, breakfast service stops at 10:30 a.m. and lunch service begins straight after.

To determine the exact time breakfast ends at your nearest Hardee’s, it is best to call that specific location and ask. Customers on Reddit have noted that recently some locations have begun extending their hours while others haven’t. Some locations have extended breakfast only slightly to 11 a.m., while others have extended breakfast as far as 2 p.m.



Breakfast at Hardee’s

While precise operating hours can vary from location to location, Hardee’s starts breakfast at opening. Regardless of if your nearest location opens at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m., breakfast starts right away. 

Some locations choose to extend breakfast hours on weekends specifically until 11 a.m., although this isn’t universal to all Hardee’s locations. Breakfast hours can also change during holidays. When in doubt, give your nearest Hardee’s location a call to confirm exact hours.

One thing that makes Hardee’s breakfast stand out is how big the menu is, which is why so many customers are eager to know the exact hours in which breakfast is served. While Hardee’s is best known for its burgers, at breakfast, the chain features biscuit sandwiches, breakfast wraps, and biscuits ‘n gravy plates. The chain also serves sweet biscuits; currently, they are featuring strawberry and lemon biscuits on the breakfast menu.
