McRib 2019 US Release Information

20 Replies

McRibs are back in the US for 2019! We have been receiving a number of confirmations today from all over the lower 48 states. Most interesting is the number of reports for locations that have not had confirmations for a number of years. As such, it came as no surprise today when media outlets began reporting that this year’s season would result in 10,000 stores offering the tasty BBQ sandwich resulting in a number of locations offering the McRib that had not in recent year. This is a significant increase compared to last year’s release.

When can fans begin to see the McRib in the US?

We sampled a number of stores today to see what is new. We found that the McRib will begin more widespread rollout coming up next week. While there are additional locations offering the sandwich this year, some locations will see a minor change to when you can have the sandwich. A number of locations, not all, are restricting the McRib to the before midnight menu. This feels like a compromise with locations that felt the sandwich was too messy to offer. With a limited number of hours of availability the messy nature of the sandwich can be less of an impact.

How long will the McRib be around?

How long will this year’s season be? Some of the stores we talked with said they are planning through the end of November. As a limited time item, the McRib can and will disappear sooner at some locations. History tells us that locations that less commonly offer the McRib will have less inventory to sell.

McRib in Michigan: Detroit Metro on Oct. 2, 2019

8 Replies

After a long void, the McRib appears to be coming back to the Motor City this year! Noting a flurry of unconfirmed McRib reports from Michigan, I reached out to the location at 15855 15 MILE RD in CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI  to see what the story was. While they are not officially on sale until the 8th, they told that they are making them RIGHT NOW. She didn’t indicate if all day or just for training for the day, so make sure to call ahead before zipping over!

Brazil – Cheddar McRib

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

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.

Last week, we posted about a pretty awesome McRib Necklace found at Catrina’s Toybox Etsy Store. Since our posting, she has increased the number of McRib offerings, including post earrings and dangle earrings (we are hoping for a ring option soon).

Anyhow, we have our winner. Using a random number generator, we have selected Amy, comment #3, as our winner!

Thank you to everyone who entered and checked out  Catrina’s Etsy Store. It is always great to support other McRib fans!

McRib season ends in Burnsville, MN

My wife has been working pretty hard on a few projects. After completing a grueling evening of work, she announced that she wanted to go to McDonalds. We bundled up (6 degrees out) and we and our two dogs jumped in the car and headed off to the nearest McDonalds. Cautious not to get our hopes up now that McRib season is in extra innings, we saw the always welcome McRib sign in the window at the McDonalds. We pulled up to the drive through to make our order. While not on the menu, we asked if the McRib was available, and were told that it was and our order was set.

Happy that we would be able to enjoy perhaps what would be our last McRib, we went to the first window to pay. The cashier was having a discussion with another employee. After they completed their conversation, the cashier informed us that he had just been told they were OUT of McRibs. We resorted to ordering a Filet-o-Fish.

Thus brings a conclusion to the McRib season here in Burnsville, MN. We will miss the late night runs for McRibs, although look forward to the next time it shall return…whenever that may be.
