McDonald’s Is Once Again Bringing Back Its Famous McRib Sandwich
The famous sandwich will be available for a limited time in over 10,000 U.S. restaurants starting this week
McDonald’s wants you to save the date!
The popular fast food chain announced on Thursday that it will be bringing back the famous McRib sandwich, known for only appearing on their menu for a limited time once a year.
“Mark your calendars, #McRib fans, because soon #McRibSZN will be back and saucier than ever!” McDonald’s shared on Twitter Monday alongside a promotional video that revealed the sandwiches would officially be back at all selected locations on Oct. 9. Their earlier press release stated the sandwiches would begin appearing on Monday.
The meal — which has been offered at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide off and on since it debut in 1981 — is filled with boneless pork coated in barbecue sauce, and served with onions and a sliced pickles on a hoagie-style bun.
It will be available for a limited time in over 10,000 U.S. restaurants, the news releaseread.
To help fans locate the closest participating restaurant, McDonald’s created the mcdfinder.com website where customers can enter their zip code to find the closest locations.
“We’re always listening to our customers and we know the McRib has some of the most loyal fans,” Chef Chad Schafer, a senior executive with the company, said in a news release. “This year we’re excited to give every McRib fan new ways to show their love for the sandwich with our saucy McRib GIFs so they can celebrate the season no matter where they live.”
According to CNN, keeping the McRib as a seasonal meal is tactical, as it helps continue to bring in business during quieter seasons.
“When you have these exclusive products, which exist for a short period of time, it gives people a reason to come to the store,” Alexander Chernev, a professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management told the outlet.
And many fans are already sharing their excitement over the return, documenting their sandwich runs on social media.
“Cancel my calls. For the rest of the week. No, year. #McRib #HAPPINESS,” one fan wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of his McRib.

I asked the Silverton location what was up with not having them.They said it’s up to each individual location to make the decision to carry them or not.The excuse they gave me was that their kitchen is to small to handle the demand for them,so they opt out.I think Freehold is the closest at 17 miles lol!

If you want a McRib that bad, just put a bunch of hot dogs in a food processor, press it into patties and the put the worst bottom shelf bbq sauce on it
Microwave for 1 minute, top with onions and pickles. Serve on garbage cardboard bread
The McMuddbutt is back? Neat…
