How we checked Krystal's hours
Krystal's store locator page embeds the full restaurant list with a weekly schedule, read on October 30, 2026 for the week of October 30 to November 5. It lists 259 restaurants in 12 states. 121 show 'Open 24 hours' on all seven days (Georgia 43 of 86, Tennessee 34 of 67, Alabama 20 of 40, Florida 16 of 28, Mississippi 5 of 23, and one each in South Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana). Another 13 show 24 hours on some days only, usually weekend days, and 125 show no 24-hour day. Among restaurants that are not 24 hours every day, 6 AM is the most common opening time (some open at 10 AM, for example Pigeon Forge, TN and London, KY), and midnight, 10 PM, 11 PM and 2 AM are the most common closing times; 49 restaurants list a closing time after midnight on at least one day. Examples from individual store pages: Atlanta (Moreland Ave), Memphis (Poplar Ave) and New Orleans (Bourbon St) are open 24 hours every day; Chattanooga (Broad St) is 6 AM to 11 PM; Union, NJ is 6 AM to 2 AM; Tyler, TX (a travel-center restaurant) is 10 AM to 8 PM. Store pages show one set of hours per day and do not split dining room, drive-thru or breakfast hours. Krystal's August 2017 release announced 75 restaurants moving to 24/7 service and 50 more with 24-hour weekend service, and SPB Hospitality's Krystal franchising page still describes a model 'serving 24 hours a day'. The krystal.com menu descriptions for the Breakfast and Breakfast Combo Meals categories say 'Breakfast is served until 10:45 a.m.'; the site does not say whether this differs by restaurant.

Krystal Hours: When It Opens and Closes FAQ
What time does Krystal serve breakfast until?
The krystal.com menu says breakfast is served until 10:45 a.m. Breakfast items can be ordered a la carte, and breakfast combos come with small Tots and a small drink. The menu includes biscuits, wraps, scramblers, waffle sandwiches and a 3 Egg Breakfast Plate, plus a '$3 and Under Breakfast' category. The site does not publish a breakfast start time (most restaurants that are not open 24 hours open at 6 AM) and does not say whether the cutoff differs by restaurant, so confirm with your store. A Krystal release from April 2025 marked some waffle items 'Breakfast hours only' and others 'Available all day'. (Source: krystal.com)

Is Krystal open on Thanksgiving or Christmas?
We could not find a Krystal holiday-hours statement.
