When will the McRib be….

11 Replies

We have been fielding a high number of requests asking “When will the McRib be at” some location. Here is the latest we know. As some of the locations that received the McRib early are now seeing it fall from their menus, there are others that have just started seeing the McRib arrive. The most recent sightings were in Texas, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico. Our original intelligence report indicates a more widespread return in November. This intelligence has not yet produced what exact time nor exact location it will return.

In the interim, we suggest checking http://mcriblocator.com (including our blog) for the latest information, and suggest utilizing the Find feature to find the nearest potential McRib availability to you!

This is where you come in. 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!

The McRib has again returned to another part of the globe. If you are Guatemala, rejoice as the McRib is now back on your menu too!

Rather than a new take on the ever popular sandwich, the McRib here appears to be the same offering as in the United States.

  
Thank you for the report Daniel!

So far this US season we know the McRib has been spotted in numerous parts of the country. While initial reports were limited to Northeast Pennsylvania, we later saw this expand across the rest of Eastern Pennsylvania, and into West Virginia. We later received word from McDonalds Utah that participating locations there would offer the McRib (later finding out some locations are not starting there for another week). This afternoon we saw the McRib release expand into parts of the Chicago, IL metro.
While we haven’t heard how long the release will last, one can estimate based on previous years the McRib will likely be around for another few weeks, hopefully into October. We are also hopeful that the location offering the McRib will expand. It is possible that we are going to see varied availability at different times.

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!

New Zealand McRib Details

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!

NEW McRib returns to the Philippines

Leave a reply

As a few of our Facebook fans mentioned earlier this week, the McRib has returned to the Philippines (specifically the 14th of April). For a limited time, they are offering two variations of what they are calling the NEW McRib: a Pork McRib, and the Pork McRib Deluxe. The primary difference between the two is the Deluxe comes with Mayonnaise and Lettuce in addition to the fixing of the “standard” McRib.

Have you had one of these NEW McRibs? If so, leave a comment, we would love to hear what you thought of it.

Wanted: your photo with a McRib and Shamrock Shake

The month of February has been a bit of an oddity. The McRib continues to have availability in select markets, with recent reports in Texas and Oklahoma. With St. Patrick’s day just around the corner, we know some locations are also offering the Shamrock Shake. As these two typically never are offered at the same location at the same time (a point discussed on the comedy Raising Hope), we are looking for evidence for future generations that this did happen at one point in time.

This has happened in the past, but we do not know if it will happen again.

Here are some photos from the last time we know this happened, back in 2013).

Need some incentive? We dug through our vaults and found a few More McRib Locator pens. We will award one to the first person to provide us photo proof of both (hint, a receipt helps!). We will also give out a pen or two to the most unique photos showing both.
