McDonald's typically starts serving lunch around 10:30 a.m. However, this time can vary slightly depending on the location, with some places switching to lunch as late as 11:00 a.m., especially on weekends. The lunch menu generally begins serving as soon as the breakfast menu ends. Most McDonald's locations serve lunch until closing, which can be as late as 11 p.m. or even 24 hours at some locations with 24-hour drive-thrus. For exact times at a specific location, it's best to check directly with that restaurant. In summary:
- Lunch usually starts at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays.
- On weekends, lunch may start at 11:00 a.m.
- Lunch service continues until closing time, which may vary by location.
This means that after the breakfast hours end (usually around 10:30 or 11:00 a.m.), McDonald's serves its lunch menu until closing or 24 hours at some locations.
