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.

2016 US McRib season coming to an end

While some locations never saw the McRib again this year, others that did see the McRib are now seeing it fall from the menu. In some places the sandwich is already gone. In other markets, there is a push to have all advertising removed by Christmas. Perhaps McDonalds is going to leave a stack of McRibs for Santa, or perhaps the Hamburglar is buying out inventory to get as many as he can for himself. Continue reading →

While the McRib is just starting to return in the US market, it has been on the menu in El Salvador since October 20th. The McDonald’s El Salvador limited time offering appears to be offered as traditionally served in the United States. mcribelsalvador3 Their current promotion is 2 McRibs, paired with the McPatatas (potato wedges), and Soda for $9.45 SVC (around $1.08 US).
