Two Chick-fil-A specific things worth knowing: every Chick-fil-A in the US is closed on Sundays (since founder S. Truett Cathy started the chain in 1946 for employees to rest and worship), and breakfast ends at 10:30 AM with the full lunch menu starting at the same time.

Is Chick Fil A open on Saturday?

Saturday hours at most Chick-fil-A restaurants run 6:30 AM to 10 PM at the drive-thru, with breakfast served 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. The lobby (dine-in) typically closes around 9 PM Saturday. Saturday is the last operating day of the week before the chain-wide Sunday closure, so it tends to be one of the busiest days at every Chick-fil-A.

Is Chick Fil A open on Sunday?

All Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed every Sunday in the United States by chain-wide policy. Founder S. Truett Cathy started the policy in 1946 to give employees a day to rest and worship. A small number of exceptions exist at airports, college campuses, and stadiums where landlord agreements override the corporate policy. Easter Sunday is a separate chain-wide closure that applies even to those exception locations.

Chick Fil A hours - frequently asked questions

Is any Chick-fil-A open on Sunday?

Almost none in the US. Chick-fil-A is closed every Sunday at virtually all 3,000 US locations by chain-wide corporate policy. The exceptions are a small number of airport food-court locations (Atlanta ATL, Dallas DFW, Hartsfield-Jackson, Chicago Midway), some college campus dining halls, stadium kiosks, and Truett's Luau in Hawaii. These exceptions exist because the host (airport, university, or stadium) requires Sunday operation as part of the lease. Easter Sunday closes even those exception locations.

Why is Chick-fil-A closed on Sundays?

Founder S. Truett Cathy started the Sunday-closure policy when he opened his first restaurant (Dwarf Grill) in Hapeville Georgia in 1946. The policy has continued through Chick-fil-A's expansion to give employees a guaranteed day off to rest, spend time with family, and worship if they choose. The closure is chain-wide and applies to all corporate-operated Chick-fil-A restaurants regardless of franchisee preferences.

What time does Chick-fil-A start serving lunch?

Chick-fil-A starts serving the full lunch menu (Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Nuggets, Chick-n-Strips, salads, fries, milkshakes) at 10:30 AM at most US locations. Before 10:30 AM the menu is breakfast only (Chicken Biscuit, Chick-n-Minis, Hash Browns, Egg White Grill, breakfast burritos). The 10:30 AM transition matches McDonald's and Burger King.

What are Chick-fil-A breakfast hours?

What days is Chick-fil-A closed?
