Chick-fil-A Hours
For most U.S. restaurants, regular Chick-fil-A hours begin at 6:30 AM Monday through Saturday and continue until 9:00 PM. Some restaurants offer service later than the minimum operating schedule, and the drive-thru can remain open until approximately 10:00 PM at locations that provide those extended hours.
| Day | Restaurant Hours | Breakfast Hours | Lunch & Dinner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Tuesday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Wednesday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Thursday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Friday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Saturday | 6:30 AM–9:00 PM* | 6:30–10:30 AM | 10:30 AM–close |
| Sunday | Closed | Closed | Closed |
*These are the standard minimum operating hours Chick-fil-A publishes; individual restaurants can have different schedules or extended service.
The most important point is that these are typical hours rather than a guarantee for every restaurant. Airports, malls, college campuses, hospitals, food courts, and other nontraditional locations can follow different schedules.
Chick-fil-A Breakfast Hours
Chick-fil-A breakfast is served Monday through Saturday, typically from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Breakfast ends at 10:30 AM when the menu changes to lunch.
| Day | Breakfast Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday–Saturday | 6:30 AM – 10:30 AM |
| Sunday | Closed |
These are the standard breakfast hours, but individual locations may vary. Check your local restaurant before visiting, especially on holidays or at nontraditional locations.
Chick-fil-A Lunch Hours
Chick-fil-A lunch begins at 10:30 AM, immediately after breakfast ends. Unlike breakfast, there is no separate afternoon lunch cutoff; lunch and dinner items are generally served from 10:30 AM until the restaurant closes.
| Service | Typical Time |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | 6:30 AM–10:30 AM |
| Lunch | 10:30 AM–close |
| Dinner | 10:30 AM–close |
| Drive-thru | Usually until 10:00 PM* |
*Some locations have different drive-thru hours.
The lunch menu includes popular choices such as the Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Deluxe Sandwich, Nuggets, Grilled Nuggets, Chick-n-Strips, Cool Wrap, salads, waffle fries, mac & cheese, and other sides. Chick-fil-A states that lunch and dinner use the same general menu, so customers do not have to wait for a separate dinner service.
Chick-fil-A Holiday Hours
Holiday schedules can differ from regular weekly hours. Chick-fil-A confirms that all U.S. restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Other holidays may have normal or reduced hours depending on the restaurant.
| Holiday | Typical Status | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| New Year's Day | Open | Some locations may use limited hours |
| New Year's Eve | Open | Limited hours may apply |
| Martin Luther King Jr. Day | Open | Location schedules can vary |
| Presidents' Day | Open | Some locations may have limited hours |
| Memorial Day | Usually open | Confirm local hours |
| July 4 | Open | Hours vary by restaurant |
| Labor Day | Open | Hours vary by restaurant |
| Thanksgiving Day | Closed | All U.S. restaurants closed |
| Christmas Eve | Usually open | May have reduced hours |
| Christmas Day | Closed | All U.S. restaurants closed |
Chick-fil-A's official holiday guidance states that New Year's Day and New Year's Eve are generally open unless the holiday falls on a Sunday, while July 4 and Labor Day are also generally open with location-specific schedules. Christmas Eve is generally open unless it falls on Sunday, but reduced hours may apply.
Holiday schedules deserve extra attention because a restaurant that normally operates until 9:00 PM may close earlier for a holiday or local event.
Is Chick-fil-A Open on Sunday?
No. Chick-fil-A restaurants are normally closed every Sunday. Sunday closure is part of the company's long-standing operating practice, so customers should not expect regular restaurant, drive-thru, mobile ordering, or standard catering service on Sunday.
This also matters when a holiday falls on Sunday. A restaurant does not shift its normal Sunday schedule simply because another holiday would ordinarily be an operating day. The safest approach is to check the specific restaurant before planning a Sunday meal or event.
Chick-fil-A Hours Near Me
The most reliable way to find Chick-fil-A hours near you is to use the official Chick-fil-A restaurant locator or the Chick-fil-A app. The location search lets customers enter an address, city, state, ZIP code, or use their current location to identify nearby restaurants.
This is more accurate than relying on a general nationwide schedule because nearby restaurants can have different hours. A location inside a shopping center, airport, hospital, university, or another special venue may operate on a different timetable.
