McRib 2019 US Release Information

McRibs are back in the US for 2019! We have been receiving a number of confirmations today from all over the lower 48 states. Most interesting is the number of reports for locations that have not had confirmations for a number of years. As such, it came as no surprise today when media outlets began reporting that this year’s season would result in 10,000 stores offering the tasty BBQ sandwich resulting in a number of locations offering the McRib that had not in recent year. This is a significant increase compared to last year’s release.

Availability as reported at the time of this post

When can fans begin to see the McRib in the US?

We sampled a number of stores today to see what is new. We found that the McRib will begin more widespread rollout coming up next week. While there are additional locations offering the sandwich this year, some locations will see a minor change to when you can have the sandwich. A number of locations, not all, are restricting the McRib to the before midnight menu. This feels like a compromise with locations that felt the sandwich was too messy to offer. With a limited number of hours of availability the messy nature of the sandwich can be less of an impact.

How long will the McRib be around?

How long will this year’s season be? Some of the stores we talked with said they are planning through the end of November. As a limited time item, the McRib can and will disappear sooner at some locations. History tells us that locations that less commonly offer the McRib will have less inventory to sell.

    I wish they would keep it on the menu. It is the only good thing on there. All the McDonalds I have been to here in California are junk. All the food is never upto par. Actually for about 3 years the only time I ate there was because of the mcrib. Either do secret shoppers to find the crap ones and shut them down or keep the mcrib and you will get more business and less complaints. Only 2 kids out of the 45 kids in my whole family like there “food” I think it’s just because of the toy.

    It is so unfair McDonald’s can’t just release where it will be sold. (someone should know which stores ordered the ingredients) People work and have other things going on so that we don’t have time to keep checking the McRib Locator nor constantly going or calling various locations.

      It’s up to each store, or advertising group if the McRib comes back. Apparently some stores feel it doesn’t provide enough revenue to be worth bringing it back.
