I stopped by the McD's nearest to my house yesterday. No McRib. I asked the cashier about it; he said it's a franchise level decision whether to carry it and believes that the store a few miles away, operated by a different franchisee, has it. I might try there sometime next week.

I tried my old address on the McRib locator BamaVol posted here, and it turns out the McRib can be had in Salt Lake City! As long as it's before midnight you can enjoy one, even with side salad meal option. So it does appear this site is somewhat accurate.

Bumping this thread... the McRib has made its McReturn, and its availability seems to be more widespread than in the past.

I guess I am going to have to break down and try one. I thought I heard that it was back for good.

I'm on a diet now and will have to skip it. I didn't hear it was back for good, but apparently it is available in all locations nationwide, which hadn't been the case since 2012.

I have not heard that it's back for good. I read somewhere that McD's only brings back the McRib when pork prices are low, which they have been for much of 2020. Seems odd, given that they never stop serving beef and chicken regardless of what those markets do. Maybe hogs are more volatile?

Totally forgot that is was back until I drove by my local store that had a large window ad stating such. Pulled in and got 2 for the road. The Double Drive-thru had 8 cars in each lane before the speaker, so went inside to find one person waiting in line. Ordered and still had to wait 10 minutes as they were totally out of cooked Rib Patties. The wait was well worth it. 😋

I've already had two. I do prefer mine with no onions, and usually order via the app so that I don't have to explain "no onions" because they don't get it right half the time. Last time they made it with onions and no pickles. Whatever, picked the onions off and it was still good. Oddly though, I like the Kwik Trip version better. They tend to give the patty a bit of "burnt ends" and it almost tastes a bit better.

Anyway, glad its back.

Thank you for that tip. Of course, the drive-thru cashier couldn't figure out how to make it plain, BBQ on the side, and no onions. So I got two plain McRibs with BBQ sauce in little plastic cups--and without onions or pickles. Oh well.

Anyways, being able to control just how much BBQ sauce you can put on it was a game-changer. For the second sandwich, I poured on some habanero BBQ sauce from a local BBQ restaurant. It was even better. The BBQ sauce cups did go well with the fries.

Next time, I'll just ask for no BBQ sauce and no onions and apply my own BBQ sauce at home.

No BOGO here, but the app here had a free drink and fries with sandwich purchase.

For some reason they didn't remove the onions as requested, but worse yet, they put on diced burger onions on it, so in an attempt to remove the onions it took off most of the BBQ sauce too. Oh well, can't win every time.

Did the McD app buy one get one free and just pounded down 2

Yummy ... wish the sauce was a little more tangy !

im-headed-west Dec 27, 2020 12:43 pm

McRib 2 for 1 daily deal has been active on the McD App for aleast the last week+ ... very dangerous !!

im-headed-west Nov 3, 2021 9:19 am

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year .... cause McRib is back !!!

Pounded down 2 for lunch ... No BOGO on the app, just 2 for $6, so downloaded the app (which had been deleted) and used a free sandwich coupon ... bought a second full price.

They still need to make the sauce a bit more tangy, but McRibs were pretty good
