Chick-fil-A Hours: Open & Close Times, Breakfast & Lunch Hours by Location
Chick-fil-A is closed every Sunday, and its own help center says restaurants open at 6:30 AM Monday through Saturday, with breakfast served until 10:30 AM. Closing times are set by each operator. On the restaurant pages we read on October 13, 2026, they ranged from 3:00 PM at a downtown Houston office-building restaurant to 11:30 PM at a Chicago location. The company's FAQ separates Labor Day and July 4, when restaurants are open, from Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Why Chick-fil-A Hours Vary by Restaurant
Because Chick-fil-A operates through independently managed franchises and diverse retail footprints (such as standalone drive-thrus, shopping mall units, and travel plazas), there is no single national schedule. Operating windows, breakfast cutoffs, and lobby access times differ noticeably between locations.
Based on Chick-fil-A Inc. official operating guidelines and corporate policy disclosures.

Chick-fil-A Hours: What Time Do They Open and Close?
Chick-fil-A's own FAQ answers the opening question with a general rule: restaurants open at 6:30 AM, Monday through Saturday, and hours may vary by location. Closing times are not covered by any rule, so we read the restaurant pages on chick-fil-a.com in Houston, Las Vegas, Chicago, Naperville and New York.
| Restaurant | City | Monday to Saturday hours | Sunday |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2715 Southwest Fwy (59 & Kirby) | Houston, TX | 5:30 AM – 11:00 PM drive-thru Mon–Fri; 6:00 AM – 11:00 PM Sat | Closed |
| 165 West Rd | Houston, TX | 6:00 AM – 11:00 PM drive-thru | Closed |
| 5015 Westheimer Rd (Galleria) | Houston, TX | 7:30 AM – 8:00 PM Mon–Thu; 9:00 PM Fri–Sat | Closed |
| 711 Louisiana St (Pennzoil Place) | Houston, TX | 6:30 AM – 4:00 PM Mon–Fri only | Closed |
| 1200 McKinney St (Houston Center) | Houston, TX | 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM Mon–Fri only | Closed |
| 6410 Centennial Center Blvd | Las Vegas, NV | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM | Closed |
| 1100 S Fort Apache Rd | Las Vegas, NV | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM Mon–Thu; 11:00 PM Fri–Sat | Closed |
| 1244 N Ashland Ave (Wicker Park) | Chicago, IL | 6:30 AM – 11:00 PM | Closed |
| 122 S Michigan Ave (Millennium Park) | Chicago, IL | 8:30 AM – 11:30 PM | Closed |
| 1159 E Ogden Ave | Naperville, IL | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM | Closed |
| 144 Fulton St | New York, NY | 6:30 AM – 11:00 PM | Closed |
The one constant in the table is the right-hand column. Every restaurant listed Sunday as closed, and two of them, the Pennzoil Place and Houston Center restaurants in downtown Houston, are also closed on Saturday. Beyond that, a restaurant's setting is the best predictor: a freestanding restaurant with a drive-thru tends to run 6:00 or 6:30 AM to 10:00 or 11:00 PM, while an in-line mall or office-tower restaurant follows its building.
What Time Does Chick-fil-A Close?
Inside the same city the gap is wide: in Houston, the 59 & Kirby restaurant stays open until 11:00 PM while Pennzoil Place shuts at 4:00 PM. Friday and Saturday often add an hour in the evening, as at the Fort Apache Road restaurant in Las Vegas, which closed at 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday.
Why Is Chick-fil-A Closed on Sunday?
According to Chick-fil-A's own FAQ, founder S. Truett Cathy made the decision in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, he wanted employees to have one day to rest, spend time with family or worship if they choose, and the company says it upholds the practice today. Every page we read said Sunday: Closed.
- The weekly Hours table on every restaurant page we read listed Sunday as Closed, and the service tables (dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery) showed only Monday to Saturday ranges.
- Plan Sunday meals around a different restaurant; our other fast-food pages list ones that stay open that day.
- Monday is a normal opening day, with the usual 6:30 AM start.
Chick-fil-A Breakfast Hours: When Does Breakfast End?
Chick-fil-A is unusually clear on this: its FAQ says breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m.
- Breakfast starts when the restaurant opens, and the company says restaurants open at 6:30 AM Monday through Saturday.
- After 10:30 AM, the company's answer is that it is lunchtime.
- Breakfast can be ordered on the app, online or in person, according to the same FAQ.
- The FAQ names the Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit and the Hash Brown Scramble Bowl as popular breakfast items.
Drive-Thru, Dine-In, Carry-Out and Delivery Hours
Chick-fil-A restaurant pages split the schedule into Service Options and Hours, and the services do not always match. At 2715 Southwest Fwy in Houston, the drive-thru ran 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM on weekdays but dine-in and curbside only 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and delivery 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. At 165 West Rd, the drive-thru opened at 6:00 AM every day while dine-in did not open until 7:00 AM on Saturday.
| Restaurant | Dine-in | Drive-thru | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2715 Southwest Fwy, Houston | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM | 5:30 AM – 11:00 PM (Mon–Fri) | 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| 165 West Rd, Houston | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Sat from 7:00 AM) | 6:00 AM – 11:00 PM | 6:00 AM – 11:00 PM (Sat to 10:00 PM) |
| 1100 S Fort Apache Rd, Las Vegas | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM (Fri–Sat to 11:00 PM) | 6:30 AM – 9:45 PM (Fri–Sat to 10:45 PM) |
| 6410 Centennial Center Blvd, Las Vegas | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM | 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM | 6:30 AM – 9:30 PM |
| 5015 Westheimer Rd, Houston | Not listed | Not listed | 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM (Sat to 2:00 PM) |
The Galleria restaurant is the unusual one: it listed carry-out and delivery but no dine-in or drive-thru, and its delivery window ended at 5:00 PM on weekdays and 2:00 PM on Saturday, well before its 8:00 PM carry-out close. Delivery tends to stop 15 to 30 minutes before the restaurant itself closes at the other restaurants we read.
Chick-fil-A Lunch Hours and Dinner Hours
Chick-fil-A does not print a separate lunch window on its restaurant pages. The company FAQ says that after 10:30 a.m. it is lunchtime, which makes 10:30 AM the practical start of lunch at every restaurant that serves breakfast. Dinner is simply the regular menu in the hours before closing, and that closing time is the number that varies most.
- For a late dinner, pick a freestanding restaurant with a drive-thru: 59 & Kirby and 165 West Rd in Houston both listed an 11:00 PM close on the drive-thru side.
- For an early dinner, an office-building or mall restaurant may already be closed; Houston Center stops at 3:00 PM and Pennzoil Place at 4:00 PM.
- Friday and Saturday often run an hour later, as at Fort Apache Road in Las Vegas.
Chick-fil-A Hours Near Me: Why Two Nearby Restaurants Can Differ
Chick-fil-A restaurant pages carry a notice that Restaurant Operator is responsible for content on this page, and that restaurant operators are independent business owners. That wording, which we read on the Houston Center page, explains why hours differ even inside one city. An operator in a downtown tower can choose a weekday lunch schedule, while an operator with a drive-thru can choose 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
| Restaurant type | What we saw | Typical window |
|---|---|---|
| Freestanding with drive-thru | Houston West Rd, Naperville Ogden Ave, Las Vegas Centennial Hills | 6:00 or 6:30 AM to 10:00 or 11:00 PM, Mon–Sat |
| In-line mall or street restaurant | Chicago Millennium Park, New York Fulton St | 8:30 AM or 6:30 AM to 11:00 or 11:30 PM, carry-out and delivery |
| Office tower | Houston Pennzoil Place and Houston Center | Mon–Fri only, closing 3:00 or 4:00 PM |
| Mall counter with no dine-in listed | Houston Galleria | 7:30 AM to 8:00 or 9:00 PM, delivery ending earlier |
Because of that spread, the status widget at the top of this page can only show typical hours. Use the restaurant page for the exact answer and treat the Sunday closure as the one rule that does not change.
Chick-fil-A Holiday Hours: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Labor Day and July 4
