McRib Mania In Canada 2024

McRib Returning Nationwide to Canada

1 Reply

After a long wait, and the pleading of McRib fans for years, McDonalds Canada has announced that the McRib will be coming back nationwide starting January 30th, 2024! In a later response, they indicated the McRib will be on the menu through February 26th, or until supplies run out.

While there were hints that perhaps over the past few months that it might return again soon, this nationwide release is a welcome surprise. The last time there was a wide scale release in Canada was back in 2013.

We will provide additional details as they become available. McRib friends in Canada, please make sure to share on our webpage where you found your McRib so that others can bring their over a decade long wait to an end!

McRib returns with a new twist in Central America

Twist on a Classic

Nearly a year ago, we saw the McRib return to Central America. Due to the popularity, it has again returned, however with a slight twist in the marketing of the sandwich. This year the sandwich is being advertised in it’s “classic” option as well as new “with cheese” and “with bacon” options.

Thus far the promotion appears to be limited to Guatemala, and just started being promoted there on October 5th, 2018. Their website doesn’t yet mention the McRib, and is still promoting their 50th Anniversary of the Big Mac. This Big Mac promotion is still ongoing in neighboring countries as well, so it is possible that the page will be updated to showcase the McRib as soon as other McDonalds stores in the region begin offering the sandwich.

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 to return in US Late Summer 2015

3 Replies


We have just received word that the McRib will again be making an appearance within the United States. While it is still uncertain how many locations will be offering the McRib across the country, we do know that one area that will be offering it is Northeastern Pennsylvania. @McDNEPA tells us that they are planning to bring back the McRib at the start of September and will keep it on the menu until later in the month of October, or as supplies last. Some of their restaurants will offer the McRib starting the last few days of August for fans to start their McRib feasts as soon as possible.

If that wasn’t enough good news, @McDNEPA also tells us that they plan to offer the McRib at the same price points as last year, single sandwich at $2.99 (plus tax), Medium Extra Value Meal at $4.99 (plus tax), and will also retain the ever popular add a McRib to ANY Extra Value Meal for only $1 (plus tax) more!

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!

McRib Is Back – In New Zealand

Leave a reply

As was the case last year, the McRib is again popping up at other locations around the globe. Most of the time these offering are very much like the offering in the United States, although sometimes takes an interesting twist (Japan’s McRib). Today, a fan in New Zealand (thanks Regan!) tipped us off to and provided confirmation of the McRib being back in New Zealand!

On their Twitter page, you can find some interesting promotional material. Granted, it isn’t that unusual for one to spill a lot of sauce if they try to eat a McRib in their car, this video shows a person getting pretty saucy in a dance studio:

Leading up to the release they also had a few teaser videos to get people excited:

This isn’t the first time we have watched an interesting video of the McRib’s return from this region of the world, you may recall Actress Claudia Black was part of an Australian promotion many years ago:

As always, if you find a McRib, please report it on our website then send us in a photo of your receipt showing purchase so that we may mark your sighting confirmed. Thanks again Regan!

Would you like a McRib Locator Window Cling?

As the primary McRib season in the US starts to wind down, we need your help to get updated sightings and confirmed sightings. Some reports indicate that the McRib will start disappearing around the 17th, so now is the time to take action to get another (or perhaps your first) McRib before they are gone.

In appreciation of your assistance, we will be giving out McRib Locator Window Clings to 20 people that today both report their sighting via our webpage (http://mcriblocator.com/report.html ) and also email us a photo showing the receipt from the purchase (please show enough of the receipt to show where and when the McRib was purchased as well as the McRib purchase).
