Wondering what time Chick-fil-A opens and closes today? Most locations open at 6:30 a.m. and close between 9 and 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, while all U.S. locations are closed on Sundays. Chick-fil-A hours can vary by location, especially at malls, airports and college campuses. Breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m., and restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The tables below cover the times by day, meal and service, along with popular menu items and holiday schedules.
Chick-fil-A Hours by Day
Chick-fil-A restaurants are run by individual Operators, not by a single head office. The company sets the fixed rules, like the Sunday closure and the Thanksgiving and Christmas shutdowns. Each Operator then builds the daily schedule around local foot traffic, staffing and the shopping center the store sits in. So the store near your home might shut its doors earlier than another one across town.
| Day | Opens | Closes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Tuesday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Wednesday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Thursday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Friday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Saturday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Sunday | Closed | Closed |
These are typical U.S. times, so confirm your own store in the app.
Chick-fil-A Breakfast Hours
The Chicken Biscuit is the favorite here, followed closely by Chick-n-Minis and the Egg White Grill. Hash Browns, the Hash Brown Scramble Burrito and the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit are other common orders.
| Day | Breakfast Starts | Breakfast Ends |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 6:30 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. |
| Tuesday | 6:30 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. |

| Saturday | 6:30 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. |
| Sunday | Closed | Closed |
Breakfast never runs all day, so arrive a few minutes early.
Chick-fil-A Lunch Hours
Lunch brings the Original Chicken Sandwich, a breaded breast cooked in peanut oil and served with pickles on a buttered bun. Nuggets, Waffle Fries, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and the Cobb Salad round out the menu.
| Day | Lunch Starts | Lunch Ends |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 10:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Tuesday | 10:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Wednesday | 10:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |

| Friday | 10:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Saturday | 10:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Sunday | Closed | Closed |
Lunch simply rolls into dinner, with nothing switching over in the afternoon.
Chick-fil-A Dinner Hours
Dinner uses the lunch menu, but orders get bigger: nugget trays, kids’ meals, Mac & Cheese and shareable sides. Chick-fil-A Sauce and fresh lemonade are the usual add-ons.
| Item | Time |
|---|---|
| Dinner service | After lunch, until closing |
| Typical closing time | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Mall and airport stores | Often earlier |
Order well before closing, since kitchens stop taking orders on their own timing.
Chick-fil-A Drive-Thru Hours
The drive-thru is where Chick-fil-A gets most of its business, and the line can look long without actually being slow. Team members often walk the line with tablets and take your order at your car window, so you’re not waiting to reach a speaker. If you order through the Chick-fil-A One app, you can usually pull into a marked pickup spot and skip the line completely.
| Day | Drive-Thru Opens | Drive-Thru Closes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Tuesday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Wednesday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Thursday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Friday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Saturday | 6:30 a.m. | 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. |
| Sunday | Closed | Closed |
Drive-thru times usually match the dining room, though a few stores run them a little differently.
Chick-fil-A Holiday Hours
Every U.S. Chick-fil-A closes on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day so team members can be with family. Most other holidays are normal or shortened days, and the Operator makes the final call. For a holiday party, a catering tray ordered ahead is the safest plan.

| Halloween | Oct 31, 2026 | Generally open |
| Veterans Day | Nov 11, 2026 | Generally open |
| Thanksgiving Day | Nov 26, 2026 | Closed |

Online reports disagree on a few holidays, so your store’s page settles it.
Mall, Airport, Campus and Special Location Hours
Stores inside other buildings follow the host’s rules. A mall store works around mall hours, an airport store around terminal traffic, and a campus store around the school calendar. The Chick-fil-A Dwarf House is a sit-down format with a larger menu and its own schedule.
| Location type | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Standalone restaurant | Standard Monday – Saturday schedule |
| Mall | Follows mall opening and closing times |
| Airport | Tied to terminal and flight schedules |
| Campus | Follows the school calendar |
Special locations catch people off guard more than any other type.
Mobile Order, Curbside, Delivery and Catering
The Chick-fil-A One app lets you customize an order and pick it up inside, at the drive-thru or curbside. Delivery and catering are offered at many stores, with trays, boxed meals and party platters for groups.
| Service | Availability |
|---|---|
| Mobile ordering | Follows restaurant hours |
| Curbside pickup | Follows restaurant hours |
| Delivery | Follows restaurant hours |
| Catering | Order ahead; varies by store |
None of these work on Sunday, because no restaurant is open that day.
How to Check Chick-fil-A Hours Near You
Your own restaurant’s listing is the only fully reliable answer. Try these in order:
- Open the Chick-fil-A app and pick your nearest restaurant.
- Use the restaurant locator on the official website.
- Search “Chick-fil-A near me” on Google Maps and compare it with the app.
- Call the store if a holiday is close or the listing looks old.
The app is usually the most current source, since the restaurant updates it directly. Google listings can trail behind a recent change.

Final Takeaway
Chick-fil-A hours follow a clear pattern: open around 6:30 a.m., breakfast until 10:30 a.m., closing between 9 and 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and closed every Sunday. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two days the full chain stays shut. For malls, airports and campuses, check your own store in the app before you leave.
