Maybe you got an early start to the day and are waiting for lunchtime to get your hands on Chicken McNuggets or a Filet-O-Fish. Or perhaps you've had your fill of hash browns and hotcakes and you'd rather trade your Egg McMuffin for a Big Mac. You might be asking yourself, When do McDonald's lunch hours start?

The good news is that you can expect the lunch menu to be available pretty early. According to McDonald's USA, hours and menus can vary by location, but most of them start serving the rest of their menu at 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. So if you roll out of bed late, you can jump right to lunch.

Can't get enough Mickey D's? We've got tons of copycat recipes and McDonald's inspired creations you can make right at home—ya know, if you want a BigMac at 9 a.m. Big Mac dip is the ultimate appetizer and any sweet tooth can be satisfied with a handheld apple pie or a Shamrock Shake. Or better yet, combine your love of two fast food chains with the Big Mac Crunchwrap. You won't regret it.
