McDonald's McRib returns to select US cities from 27 October

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 20:44 · Archive

McDonald's is bringing back its McRib sandwich on a limited, regional basis starting 27 October in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Dallas. The pork sandwich inspires both passionate fan loyalty and intense debate among diners over its taste.

The sandwich consists of a boneless pork patty smothered in tangy barbecue sauce, topped with onions and pickles and served on a toasted roll. It first debuted in 1981 in Kansas City. The McRib was discontinued as a permanent menu item in 2012 but has returned annually as a limited-time offering since 2020. This year's return comes earlier than its historical late-November appearance.

Customers can check the McDonald's app or monitor crowdsourced tracking at McRibLocator.com to find participating locations. According to fan-submitted data, the sandwich has already been spotted in more than a dozen cities. Prices vary by location, ranging from $4.47 in Victoria, Texas to $7.99 in Palmdale, California, with a US average of $6.05. McDonald's has not specified how long the limited run will last.
