The Best Fast Food Breakfast Menus Ranked From Worst to Best!

Who doesn’t love yummy breakfast food? From golden brown pancakes all the way to salty hash browns – breakfast is one of the most versatile foods to have, and the best part?

If you aren’t in the mood to make it yourself, there’s a whole host of delicious fast food breakfast options available to you to try. 

As of recent times, breakfast takeaway has become one of the most popular options at fast food chains – the only question is, which one is the best?

If you’re currently asking yourself this question, rest assured that you have come to the right place. In this post, we are going to be talking you through the top fast food breakfast menus in the country – so just read on!

We’re going to be ranking these fast food menus from lowest to highest, so that you can choose the best option for you and whatever it is that you’re craving. So, without further ado, just keep reading. 

11. Subway

Last up on our list, we have selected Subway’s breakfast option. While this might not necessarily be the best of takeaway options out there, it’s not the worst – which is why it’s made it to our list.

Unlike some of the other fast food restaurants out there, Subway doesn’t have the most versatile of breakfast menu options.

If you’re interested in taking a visit to Subway to try out some of their breakfast options, you’ll be able to choose between a combination of egg, cheese, lunch meat of your choice and whichever bread you might like.

In the past, many have found Subway’s breakfast option to be tasteless and not worth the money.

However, in recent years Subway has definitely taken strides to improve the quality of its breakfast options so that it’s on par with the rest of its regular, daytime menu.

If you’re in a pinch and need breakfast, Subway isn’t the worst place to visit, although you might find yourself wishing that you had stopped somewhere else.

10. Krystal

If there’s a Krystal in your area and you’re in the mood for some breakfast, the good news is that you have until 11am each day to enjoy their breakfast menu!

Even though this burger chain doesn’t make breakfast food their priority, they still offer a pretty decent breakfast menu that caters to a variety of different tastes and preferences.

The most popular “signature” food option that you have available during breakfast at Krystal is something known as the Sunrise, which consists of a burger patty with your choice of sausage or bacon as well as eggs and cheese.

Along with this staple breakfast food offered by Krystal, you might also be interested in some of the other breakfast food options offered by Krystal.

These include foods such as the Original Scrambler Bowl, which contains scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese and more.

While it’s not the most creative of breakfast foods, it’s perfect  for those who are hungry and in the mood for a filling breakfast that’s going to be both affordable and tasty without breaking the bank.

Krystal also offers a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit that is surprisingly delicious – although some have reported that the biscuit is a little dry!

If you’re a vegetarian or vegan (or happen to have specific dietary requirements that would make some of the breakfast options offered by Krystal unsuitable) you can ask them directly to tailor the order to suit your preferences or requirements.

All in all? Not bad as far as fast food is concerned.

9. White Castle

When you think about breakfast foods and fast food chains – you’re certainly not going to be alone if White Castle doesn’t spring to mind!

Still, if you’re in the mood for White Castle at breakfast time and there are no other fast food chains nearby that you can go to instead – the good news is that White Castle does offer a pretty decent breakfast menu.

If you’ve already been to White Castle, we’re sure that you;ll already be well familiar with the small portions that this fast food chain is known to offer.

With that being said, if you are planning on taking a trip down to White Castle for some breakfast food, you’re going to need to make sure that you are offering plenty of different options in order to ensure that you aren’t left feeling hungry at the end of it. 

One of the main benefits of White Castle as compared to some of the other fast food chains we have already mentioned is the impressive amount of variety that White Castle offers at breakfast time.
