Most Popeyes locations open around 10:00–10:30 AM and close between 10:00 PM and midnight, with many drive-thrus running later on weekends. Where breakfast is served, it starts in the morning and runs into late morning. Because every store sets its own schedule, here are the typical hours plus how to confirm your local store's exact times.

Typical Popeyes hours
