The McRib will be available until….

2 Replies

I thought I would take an opportunity to touch back on some rumors regarding how long the McRib will be available in the USA this year.


The story written by Christana Rexrode indicates that the McRib will be around until November 14th. One of my contacts in the know has also indicated the 14th would be the last date the McRib would be available.


Interestingly, the Facebook Golden McRib game indicates a longer duration for the McRib.





Also rounding out the rumor mill is an email I received back around October 11, 2011 from Greg O. from Hicksville, NY. In this email Greg wrote that the management at the store on North Broadway indicated the McRib is on a 3 month trial to determine the future of if the McRib will return permanently, or at what interval it should be back.


Have you heard any other rumors from your local McDonalds on how long the McRib will be back? Feel free to comment on this post so that other fans can hear if there will be opportunities for last chance McRibs as the season winds down.

Awhile back, we were working on updating confirmed sightings and doing general site updates, we nearly fell off our chairs when Jenny McCarthy tweeted us asking about the McRib.


After nearly a week of tracking down California sightings and keeping Jenny in the loop, she found her McRib!

McRib arrives in the Twin Cities

1 Reply

Late on Thursday (Oct 13), I noticed Marc Merced had reported a McRib at a McDonalds in the Twin Cities (4121 Hiawatha Ave Minneapolis, MN). I was excited, but cautious. So I sent an email asking for a photo of the receipt. I received the receipt Friday morning. Around noon I gathered the McRib Mob at work and drove off to taste our first McRib of the season. We knew we were in for a treat upon seeing the window facing traffic had the McRib sign up.



We started to salivate, and hurried into the McDonalds. We were rushed with Welcomes from the staff as we entered this McDonalds at around 12:30pm. I was first to order. “A McRib Combo”, I asked. The lady at the next register pointed out that for $1 more I could have a second McRib. How could I pass this up? The three of us all made the same order.

As we left, one of the members of the mob asked how long the McRib would be on the menu. The lady at the register indicated a month and a half! He also asked if the second McRib for $1 applied to all combos. The answer was it only applied to the McRib combo. After leaving with a satisfied feeling in my stomach, I searched out other signage at the McDonalds. Drive thru and a hanging banner welcomed us as we exited the parking lot.






Unfortunately, Kimberly was not able to join us at lunch time. As her hunger for the McRib verges on exceeding mine, I decided it was only fair that she get her feast as well. So back to McDonalds for supper. Kimberly took her McRib with the standard dehydrated onions (those served on other sandwiches at McDonalds), and passed her pickles to me. Kim made her order sans fries/drink ($5.58), and I ordered the combo with extra $1 McRib ($5.40). So offer the drink and fries to the next person in line if you do not want them!








(Yes, I am a Twins fan and have Irish heritage.)

The remains of our feast.

We were stuffed when done. I would have to say the supper McRibs tasted better than those from lunch. Perhaps it was that they were more fresh, or perhaps it was the company I was with. I couldn’t eat my second McRib I was so full, and Kim had a few bites from her second remaining so those made it home to the fridge. I almost forgot, we left behind a McRibLocator.com pen for the next folks to dine at the table we had been at.


Now to cut my hair….
