Received a heads up and confirmation from Wagner L that the McRib has returned to McDonalds’ menus across Costa Rica!
After some looking around, I found that the offerings there will be the “classic” McRib, an option with cheese, an option with two patties, and an option of adding bacon. The McRib will be offered at “more than 65 restaurants” in Costa Rica, which is interesting as Wikipedia and other sources say the number of stores is much fewer than 65.
We received a message today from McRib fan David M showing him with the McRib and a receipt providing us with our first 2021 McRib confirmation. I quickly dialed up the store and the employee confirmed that they are indeed already selling the McRib, however it may not be on the actual menu yet. Our first confirmed McRib of the 2021 season is at 1105 Old Berry Dr in Abingdon, VA!
This is very exciting news, especially as the announced release is still nearly a month away. While the store employee was unable to offer additional details regarding the current release, if you arrive there today you can in fact get a McRib. It is likely other stores around the US are also offering the McRib early, as if one store has the components needed others will also have them. Let’s get the McRib reports flowing in on our webpage so we can help others satisfy their McRib cravings!
McDonalds recently announced that the McRib will return to US stores on November 1, 2021. While they have yet to respond to my inquiry to if the McRib will be offered nationwide or only at select stores, most likely this will be a nationwide release again this year. This will be the 40th anniversary of the rollout of the McRib making the nationwide return the most likely scenario.
Many of the news articles I have came across that shared that the McRib will be returning also mention that the return of the McRib is earlier than last year, however later than pre-COVID releases. While this is partially correct, there have been later releases of the McRib as can be found by reviewing our posts to see dates of returns.
Get ready to send your reports! Make sure to help other McRib fans find out which stores start selling prior to November 1, and help in the event some locations are not offering the McRib. Thank you!

The 2021 McRIb return in Guatemala is here upon fans in the region! On their Facebook page they have started their campaigns for the McRib. Oddly enough, it appears fans there will only be able to get the McRib via the McDonalds app. Earlier posts hinted at the upcoming return.
In an unexpected turn of events, along with the standard McRibs return, there is also a breakfast offering! What do you think of this new offering?
As the McRib season ends across the United States, the season is in full swing in Mexico. The McRib is available at all McDonalds locations in Mexico throughout March. As far as our records indicate, the McRib has not been offered in Mexico in 12 years! We hope those in Mexico enjoy this limited time option!
Hot off the grill, the McRib returns for Australia in 2020! Apparently the McRib has frequently been asked for, and now those requesting have been rewarded with the McRib returning. The last time the McRib was here was in 2018!
LAD Bible is reporting that the McRib will be on menus in Australia through January 19th, just a few days further into 2021 that here in the US.
It would seem that the biggest difference in sandwich construction in the Australian McRib is a slightly different bun offering. Have you had a McRib in Australia? We would love to see pictures of how it looks to see how it may vary with that offered here in the US.
