Who’s making your morning money? From Wendy’s to McDonald’s to Dunkin’, there are plenty of breakfast options, but the question is: who has the best fast-food breakfast?
When evaluating breakfast options, it’s important to look at several things besides price. Does the food actually taste good? Is it nutritious? Are there many menu options?
Here are the top ten fast food breakfast options in the US to help you decide where to go to make your morning easier.
10. Chick-fil-A: Chicken Biscuit for $4
Chick-Fil-AChick-Fil-A Chicken Biscuit
At Chick-fil-A, they serve chicken all day, and at $4, it’s a good deal. Plus, you can upgrade to spicy chicken for just 25 cents extra. It’s cheap, but it’s a tenth of the price because not everyone wants chicken for breakfast.
9. Dunkin’: $3 medium cold brew
Dunkin’ serves fast food throughout the day, which is popular with many, and the bagels are a morning favorite. However, when it comes to breakfast offerings, Dunkin’ doesn’t have as much to offer as other chains.
Even on the app, you’ll only find a Medium Cold Brew or Sparkd’ Energy for $3 and a donut that costs $1 with the purchase of a coffee. If you’re a fan, you can definitely continue your Dunkin’ visits, but it’s definitely not the best fast food breakfast if you’re looking for a big meal, but it will satisfy your sweet tooth.
8. Panera: Club for unlimited alcohol consumption
Panera Panera Beverage Club
Panera’s Drink Club is perfect for people who drink multiple coffees a day. This subscription, for $14.99 a month or $199 for a full year, lets you drink as many drinks a day as you want.
This includes all teas, coffees, sodas and lemonades and can be redeemed at any Panera store every two hours. While this offer isn’t exclusive to breakfast, it should certainly make those mornings easier.
7. Del Taco: Iced coffee for $1.79 and donut bites for $1.59
Del Taco is famous for its extensive $2 menu, but only two of the items there are suitable for breakfast. However, it is a meal and a drink, which makes for a pretty decent meal for under $4 if you order both.
You can get a regular iced coffee and a pack of cinnamon and sugar donut bites without spending a fortune. These are also available throughout the day.
6. Bojangles: two ham biscuits for $5
BojanglesBojangles Country Ham Biscuits
This is a pretty good deal, but it does have a few minor drawbacks. One of them is that Bojangles is a southern chain, so it might not be on your daily commute (check their locations here). If they’re nearby, you’re in luck because you can get two of their fresh ham biscuits for $5, as well as a pimento cheese biscuit for $2 and a Bo-Berry biscuit with fruit and frosting for $1.49.
The only other downside is that the breakfast selection is not as traditional as other chains.
5. Hardee’s: Two for $5 Mix-and-Match Breakfast
Hardee’sHardee’s Breakfast Cookies
While this deal is similar to the Bojangles deal mentioned above, Hardee’s is a little better because you can mix and match the biscuit fillings however you like, and the flavors are a little more breakfast-focused. You can choose from two biscuits: sausage and egg biscuit, biscuit and gravy, or Country Fried Steak biscuit, all for $5.
4. Burger King: $4 biscuit and medium hash browns
Burger King offers a decent range of deals on their website and app, and what’s even better, they never forget to include breakfast. Although the deals change regularly, you get good value for money on a variety of breakfast dishes.
There’s the breakfast biscuit sandwich along with medium hash browns for $4. There are also large hash browns for $1.49 and a small croissant’wich menu for two for $10. If you just want sandwiches, the mix-and-match menu with two rolls and croissant’wiches for $5 is for you.
3. Wendy’s: Two breakfast boxes for $3

Although Wendy’s has eliminated its once-popular breakfast offering, there are still plenty of coupons available in the Deals section of the app that you can use to find great deals.
You can choose two items for $3 and the choices are an egg and cheese roll, a sausage roll, small seasoned potatoes and a small hot coffee. You can also grab a coupon for BOGO Baconators for free breakfast and large seasoned potatoes for $1.49.
2. Taco Bell: $6 Bell Breakfast Box
This one makes it to second place due to its sheer size. Even though the price has gone up from $5, it’s still a steal. For just $6, you get a breakfast sausage crunchwrap, two hashbrowns, two Cinnabon treats, and a coffee/beverage. A breakfast of champions for under $10? Amazing.
1. McDonald’s: BOGO for 50 cent breakfast rolls

McDonald’s gets the top spot for price and quality of food. Although McDonald’s has admitted that they are losing customers due to rising prices, you can still find a good breakfast deal through their app. Go to the deals section and you’ll see that you can buy one breakfast sandwich and get another for 50 cents. However, deals vary by location, so if you live near multiple Golden Arches, be sure to check out all the deals in the store.
Here they are: the ten best fast food breakfast offers from fast food chains, sorted by taste, menu variety and of course value for money.
