While we haven’t seen much activity out West, we are optimisitic somewhere will get it. Earlier rumors were that part of California would get a chance to grab a McRib, so we await to see if this comes to fruition. We also received an earlier rumor that the McRib will not be back in Florida until March.

If you find a McRib make sure to report it http://mcriblocator.com/report.html and send us a photo of your receipt (showing location and date purchased as well as your McRib order) to photos@mcriblocator.com . Thank you!

While the McRib is just starting to return in the US market, it has been on the menu in El Salvador since October 20th. The McDonald’s El Salvador limited time offering appears to be offered as traditionally served in the United States. mcribelsalvador3 Their current promotion is 2 McRibs, paired with the McPatatas (potato wedges), and Soda for $9.45 SVC (around $1.08 US).

2016 1st US Confirmed McRib sighting

We have been receiving news from around the US in the past few days indicating that the McRib will be returning to various regions of the US, however not all. We have been informed of an unconfirmed sighting in West Virginia (they didn’t capture a photo), Tennesse, other areas in Kansas (one location has it on the menu but is still waiting for the truck to drop them off), and of course we already know that it will be returning any day in Eastern Pennsylvania! When we receive word of releases in Eastern Pennsylvania we will be adding the McDonalds locations in that region to the map to help you plan your next road trip.

2016 US McRib coming back to …

43 Replies

We have received information regarding the upcoming 2016 US McRib season! Our long-time friends from the McDonald’s Association of NEPA (Northeastern Pennsylvania) have informed us the McRib will be back on their menus starting November 7th! They also expect the McRib to be on their menus through the end of the year. We will be providing more specifics to the participating locations shortly and then information about potential early releases in this region as we receive it.

Elsewhere:
In the past the McDonalds locations in NEPA received their McRibs a bit earlier in the cycle than many locations in the lower 48 Us States. This leaves us optimistic that we will see it spread out to other locations around or shortly after November 7th.
Unfortunately, it is not all good news. A fan recently contacted a corporate owner of many McDonalds locations in New York, and Connecticut and was told that the McRib was not returning there this season. This would also infer that there will not be a nationwide release, rather a continuation of the trend where each location/region decides if/when to offer it.

If you happen to find the McRib, please report it at http://mcriblocator.com and then if possible take a photo of your receipt showing the McRib purchase and email that to photos@mcriblocator.com so that your sighting can be updated to confirmed. With your help we can get the McRib into the hands of as many fans as possible. Thank you!

McRib returns in Spain for 2016 appearance

Once again the McRib has jumped onto the menu for McDonalds customers in Spain. We were tipped off by Emilio with the following photo of his McRib.

While advertised as the BBQ Rib sandwich, this variation is served on what appears to be a cornmeal topped bun, a bit different in composition than the bun used on the traditional US version.
Here are a few more shots from McDonalds Spain

What do you think of the Spanish version of the McRib? Comment below to let us know if you think you would like this bun or the traditional bun more.

Woman upset over McRib purchase

We do not typically share a lot of rant videos as they are typically a single experience without much evidence that the claimed event actually took place. We came across the following video that seemed too surreal to pass up sharing.

Keep in mind this is an unverified event, do you think her story is real or made up to grab attention?
