The register switches from lunch to dinner pricing at 4 PM, so arriving before then keeps the lower rate for the whole visit.

Weekend hours differ from weekdays. Saturday runs 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Breakfast is a Friday and Saturday event at most locations rather than a daily service, which catches out first time visitors more than anything else.
