7 Fast Food Restaurants That Offer All Day Breakfast

Breakfast is considered one of the most important meals of the day. It’s an opportunity to provide your body with nutrients to energize and propel you through work, school, or play.

Full English Breakfast on Table

Fortunately, breakfast is also delicious. Eggs, cheese, bacon, and biscuits are all mouth-watering staples of the early morning meal, making the most important meal of the day also the most scrumptious. 

Regardless of the time of day, breakfast is always a flavorful option for a meal. Unfortunately, many fast-food restaurants don’t offer all-day breakfast. It’s a perplexing decision that discounts different lifestyles and leaves money on the table.

Whether you start your day in the afternoon or simply love an eggy, cheesy, late-night biscuit, we’ve searched far and wide through a world littered with burgers and burritos to find the best fast-food restaurants with all-day breakfast.

There’s no need to set your alarm with these all-day options – just follow the whims of your appetite!

Jack in the Box

Jack in the Box has one of the most underrated breakfast menus of any fast-food restaurant.

Every one of their mouth-watering breakfast options is worth your time, and thankfully that time can be any part of the day!

The Jumbo Breakfast Platter is a diner-worthy pile of mini pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.

And the Loaded Breakfast Sandwich is everything you’d want to be piled high on your breakfast plate, only stuffed between two perfectly toasted slices of sourdough bread. 

My personal favorite is the Sausage Croissant. The croissant is soft and buttery, while the American cheese is lightly melted over an egg and sausage patty. 


Sonic

Sonic Drive-In might be known for its nostalgic burgers and shakes, but they’re smart enough to offer breakfast all day, too. 

Breakfast lovers with a sweet tooth will love Sonic’s Cinnabon Cinnasnacks, pastries stuffed with a warm cinnamon filling and served with cream cheese frosting for dipping.

Or the French Toast Sticks, which are four thick strips of french toast served like fries with syrup for dipping. 

But the real breakfast showstopper at Sonic is its massive breakfast burritos. Chose between a bacon or sausage breakfast burrito with cheese and eggs, or if you can’t decide, get both with the Ultimate Meat & Cheese option!

Bojangles

Bojangles is renowned for its crispy chicken and flakey biscuits, but even these poultry purveyors recognize the importance of an all-day breakfast menu!

It just so happens that biscuits are a perfect complement to any breakfast sandwich, so Bojangles is tailor-made for the most important meal of the day. 

Bojangles’ sausage or bacon biscuit sandwiches come with fluffy eggs and melty American cheese along with Bo-Tato Rounds, the restaurant’s take on hashbrowns. 

In my opinion, the best way to experience Bojangles’ buttermilk biscuits is by smothering them in gravy.

The Southern Gravy Biscuit Combo is diner-style biscuits and gravy in fast-food form, with country-style sausage gravy covering Bojangles’ classic biscuits.


Dunkin’

Dunkin’ is well-known for its donuts, and there isn’t anything like a dozen munchkins or Old Fashioned donuts to spice up a work meeting or late-night cram session.

But often overlooked are the tasty breakfast sandwich options that Dunkin offers all day.

Dunkin’ offers the traditional breakfast sandwich fare with sausage or bacon options on croissants, bagels, or English muffins.

These are mouth-watering options, but in my opinion, the best Dunkin’ breakfasts are the ones with slightly more unique bread options.

The Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich and the Wake-Up Wrap are twists on classic breakfasts.

For a heavier option, the toasted sourdough sandwich with eggs, bacon, and white cheddar will fill you up. For lighter fare, the egg and cheese wrap with your choice of protein is perfect on the go.


Denny’s

Denny’s is one of the most recognizable American diners in the world.

Opening as a donut shop in 1953, the brand has grown to over 1,700 locations worldwide. A big reason for this success is their classic, all-day breakfast menu.

Denny’s offers tons of options for breakfast, including their take on biscuits and gravy using fried chicken and the classic eggs benedict. 

If you’ve never been to Denny’s, I recommend the crowd-pleasing Moons Over My Hammy.

This simple breakfast sandwich classic is Swiss and American cheese melted over scrambled eggs and ham and stuffed between grilled sourdough. 


Panera

Panera makes our list even though their breakfast menu isn’t available after 10:30 am, but their delicious bakery items are available all day.

If you do make it in early, be sure to grab their sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on a pillowy-soft brioche bun.

For those of us that don’t prescribe to the traditional 9 to 5 parameters of mealtime, the sweet and savory options from Panera’s bakery will more than suffice for our after-hours breakfasts. 

In my opinion, blueberries are the king of breakfast sweets. Panera’s blueberry scones, muffins, and bagels are all perfect complements to a cup of coffee or afternoon study session. 


Starbucks

Starbucks is one of the biggest purveyors of caffeine in the world.

Whether you like your coffee covered in whipped cream or black as night, this Seattle chain is familiar to you.

Part and parcel of the coffee experience is breakfast at large. Starbucks’ breakfast menu is full of mouthwatering sandwiches and grab-and-go options that complement your morning, afternoon, or late-night coffee run.

The Sous Vide Egg Bites are quick and delicious bites of protein that come in kale & mushroom, bacon & gruyere, or egg white & roasted red pepper.

However, the menu standout is the Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap, a delightfully flavorful left turn from traditional meat and cheddar breakfast options.


I searched far and wide for fast-food breakfast menus that stretch into the evening. It’s a tough job, but if someone has to eat bacon and egg sandwiches for dinner, so be it. I’ll gladly eat breakfast all day. 

There’s no need to set your alarm and live by the arbitrary constraints of only eating breakfast before 11 AM.

You can rest easy knowing that the fast-food restaurants in this article offer delicious pastries, pancakes, and sausage links for those of us that realize the most important meal of the day can be at any time of the day.
