Late-night eaters now have fewer options at McDonald's.
Beginning Tuesday, the fast-food giant has trimmed its menu between midnight and 5 a.m. daily at participating restaurants nationwide.
The chain's most-popular items, including the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, fries and other sides, are still available.
"We always want our customers’ experiences to be simple, smooth and delicious – any time of day," the company said in a statement. "That means, day and night, we’re always looking for ways to serve them even better."
In the statement, the company said the move simplifies "what’s served after midnight so customers can get the most popular favorites as fast as possible."
