There is no single time Burger King closes — and anyone quoting you one is guessing. Burger King sets hours per restaurant, and the spread is wide: most locations close between 10 PM and midnight, many drive-thrus run later, a few never close at all, and breakfast typically ends around 10:30 AM. Here is the honest picture, and how to check your exact store.
For the food itself — the full board with typical prices and calories — see the Burger King menu. This post is just about the clock.
Burger King Closing Times: The Honest Picture
| Pattern | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Typical open | Around 6:00 AM | Most stores; breakfast from opening |
| Typical close | 10:00 PM – midnight | Varies by restaurant |
| Late-night drive-thru | Often past midnight | Some locations run 24 hours |
| Breakfast ends | Around 10:30 AM | Some stores to 11:00 AM on weekends |
| Miami flagship (730 NW 36th St) | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM daily | Same street where Burger King started |
| Chainwide closing time | None — hours set per store | Check the locator for your store |
Two things worth knowing about that table. First, the range is the story: a suburban dining room and a highway drive-thru can close hours apart, so a single closing time for the whole chain does not exist. Second, the drive-thru is usually the late window — if the dining room is dark, the drive-thru lane may still be serving.
Does the Drive-Thru Stay Open Later Than the Dining Room?
Usually, yes — the drive-thru is the late window, and some Burger King drive-thrus run 24 hours while the dining room closes in the evening. Burger King does not publish a single drive-thru schedule, so treat late-night runs as a per-store question and check the app before you drive. If the trip is really about the bill rather than the clock, the Burger King coupons and deals page has the current savings math, including Whopper Wednesday and the $5 Duo.
What Time Does Burger King Open?
Most locations open in the morning for breakfast, typically around 6:00 AM. Opening times vary by store like closing times do — the locator page for your restaurant is the number that governs. The Burger King secret menu works from opening, if you want something the board does not list.
Is Burger King Open 24 Hours?
Some locations are — a minority of Burger King restaurants run 24-hour drive-thrus, usually on busy roads and in cities. Most locations close overnight, even the late ones. There is no list of 24-hour stores to quote, because hours are set per restaurant and change; the app shows only the stores actually open at that hour.
Burger King Holiday Hours
Most Burger King locations stay open on holidays, but hours are often cut — and because hours are set per restaurant, there is no chain-wide holiday schedule to quote. Check the store locator or the app in the week of the holiday rather than trusting a generic hours site. And if you are planning around a specific item rather than the clock, the Burger King nutrition chart has the calories for the whole board.
How to Check Your Store’s Exact Hours
Use the official store locator on bk.com or the Burger King app: each location page carries its own hours, which is the number that governs. Google Maps hours are usually close, but the locator wins any disagreement. The flagship on the same street where it all started — 730 NW 36th Street, Miami — runs 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily, if you ever want a benchmark.

Conclusion
Burger King’s hours are set store by store: open around 6 AM, closed somewhere between 10 PM and midnight for most, later at the drive-thru, and 24 hours at a few. The rule that works everywhere is the same — check the app, aim for the drive-thru after midnight, and remember breakfast ends around 10:30 AM. For the full picture — menu, secret menu and nutrition — the cluster has it. And if you want the hours pattern at the chain that does it uniformly, our In-N-Out hours guide is the contrast.
