Historic Possibility of a McRib return

While we are seeing evidence that the McRib is about to return in select US markets, we continue to investigate which US locations have the best chance for a McRib return for the 2017 fall season. We thought it would be interesting to review the data that has been entered to see which states have had confirmations over the years. Reviewing all confirmed sightings, we have identified which states have the best possibility to see a return of the McRib, may see it return, are less likely to see it return, and are likely not to see it return. While we can’t rule out a nationwide release, the trend has been more a regional level decision.

Keep in mind that while the data is state-by-state, that doesn’t mean the entire state has had availability. In some states only small numbers of stores have offered the McRib. As more information becomes available about locations that will see the McRib in the Fall of 2017 is confirmed we will pass this information along.

Imminent 2017 US McRib release

Imminent Release in the US

More evidence that the 2017 US McRib release is imminent today when two of the McDonalds corporate accounts tweeted out about the McRib’s return.

Unfortunately, we have also heard word that some locations appear to not be planning to offer the McRib this year. It appears that again new regional options will be offered in place of the McRib.

We have been reaching out to various locations to find out if they are going to offer the McRib. Outside of knowing the McRib will be in Florida at the start of November, we have either heard the McRib will be offered sometime this winter, or have had no response. We will continue to reach out to locations to get more concrete information on when and where the McRib will be available.

Update 10/24/2017 9AM:

We are hearing from fans that are helping us narrow down the release that the McRib is coming back in parts of FL, NC, SC, and TX on November 6th!

McRib returns in Central America

This week marks the return of the McRib in Central America, specifically Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala.  The promotion, as noted on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, appears to offer the traditional McRib. Alongside the McRib they are offering cheddar bacon fries as is also currently on many McDonalds menu’s in Central America and into South America.

2017 US McRib Fall Release

21 Replies

2017 Release

We have received information on one area within the US where the McRib will see a release this fall. During the first week of November, the McRib will again return to Florida! The McRib will arrive on menus in Florida where it was most recently on the menu this past March. For those that do not recall, this was the following counties: Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Washington, Walton, Jackson, and Holmes.

We will update you with more information about the 2017 release as it becomes available. We haven’t heard if this year will be a nationwide release, or the same regional/store-by-store marketing as we have encountered over the past few years. Most likely, this will again be a store-by-store offering.

Brazil – Cheddar McRib

1 Reply

The McRib has returned to Brazil (thank you for the heads up Leonardo)! The offering in Brazil this year is part of their #FestivalCheddar, rounding out a trifecta of cheddar sauce enhanced offerings. The festival kicked off September 12, 2017.

Isolated McRib

Cheddar McRib gif

Taking a closer look at the McRib, we see it served on a sesame seed circular sandwich bun, with what appears to be caramelized onions layered over cheddar cheese sauce on top of the 100% Pork McRib Patty which rests on BBQ sauce. This offering also differs from the classic McRib as it does not include pickles and the pork patty does not appear to be slathered with bbq sauce.

Brazil #FestivalCheddar Commercial

Within the commercial, we see a person eating the McRib sandwich. We can see that the patty extends outside of the bun due to the shape of the patty being rectangular vs the circular bun.
