*Updated November 1 to include additional locations the McRib will not return to.<\/p>\n

Halloween 2017 Update<\/h2>\n

October 30th marked the return of the McRib to several locations across the country, an early halloween treat. between confirmations from fans (THANK YOU!) showing their receipts of their McRib purchase, to calling around the country, we continue to gather more information about what the McRib release of 2017 will look like. We will continue to provide updates as we find additional information.<\/p>\n

Where is it now?<\/h3>\n

We currently have 15 locations that we can confirm are offering the McRib. The number of locations is likely more as many of these cities have multiple McDonalds and we are hearing from just a few. Check out our map<\/a> to see the latest. Remember, markers with check marks are confirmed sightings.<\/p>\n

\"Confirmed

Confirmed Sightings as of 10\/30\/2017<\/p><\/div>\n

Where is it going to be?<\/h3>\n

We know that there will be a few other release dates that the McRib will launch in various markets. November 2nd, 6th, 7th, and potentially dates during the week of November 12th.<\/p>\n

We have thus far been able to find that the McRib will be on the menu within the next two weeks at:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Columbia, SC<\/li>\n
  • North Platte, NE<\/li>\n
  • North Sioux City, SD<\/li>\n
  • Brookings, SD<\/li>\n
  • Mitchell, SD<\/li>\n
  • Dickinson, ND<\/li>\n
  • Fargo, ND<\/li>\n
  • Select locations in the Twin Cities, MN <\/span>after more research, it appears the early hints this return may have been confusion by employees hearing it was back in general<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Where will fans be left without the McRib?<\/h3>\n

    Unfortunately, as we earlier indicated<\/a>, this year will not see the McRib return nationwide. We found that the McRib will not be returning, or is not likely to return, in the following cities:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Centerville, UT<\/li>\n
    • Phoenix, AZ<\/li>\n
    • Las Vegas, NV<\/li>\n
    • Colorado Springs, CO<\/li>\n
    • Denver, CO<\/li>\n
    • Scotsbluff, NE<\/li>\n
    • Chadron, NE<\/li>\n
    • Rapid City, SD<\/li>\n
    • St. Cloud, MN<\/li>\n
    • Duluth, MN<\/li>\n
    • Orlando, FL<\/span>(must have been an uninformed employee)<\/li>\n
    • Eastern NY and New Jersey<\/li>\n
    • Portland, OR<\/li>\n
    • Sacramento, CA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Interestingly, we found that Jim Lewis, an owner of several McDonalds locations in New York is reporting that the majority of owners decided not to bring back the McRib this year. He also has a poll running to help gauge interest in the area of a McRib return.<\/p>\n
