The popular McDonald’s McRib sandwich is making a return. After a hiatus, the barbecue pork patty sandwich is back on the menu at select locations in the United States. This limited-time offering features a boneless patty of seasoned pork smothered in tangy barbecue sauce, served on a hoagie-style bun with pickles and onions. The McRib is known for its unique shape, resembling a rack of ribs with an appearance similar to that of a small rack of pork ribs. McDonald’s fans eagerly anticipate the return of this beloved menu item, which has gained a cult following over the years..
It’s that time of year again. And no, we’re not referring to the leaves changing or the opening of the pumpkin spice floodgates — we’re talking about the return of the McRib.
Despite McDonald’s best efforts to convince us that November 2022 was its “Farewell Tour,” we knew it would come back. It always does.
McDonald’s confirmed to TODAY.com that its polarizing boneless pork sandwich, the McRib, is due to return to select restaurants in November. That’s right — just like ‘N Sync, this pop culture icon of yesteryear is back.
Rumors of its return began bubbling up on Sept. 26 when popular snack-spotting social media account Snackolator posted about it:
“Woah! Last fall the McRib went on a ‘Farewell Tour,’ but it’s coming back this November!” reads the post. “I’m still confused how a Farewell Tour can be just a year, but I don’t think fans are going to care all that much.”
In the comments section, many folks validated that hypothesis.
“Best news I’ve heard all day!” commented one Instagram user.
“Like Cher it’s back!!!! Thank the snack gods,” commented another user, referring to Cher’s habit of putting on farewell tours every few years.
The McRib, with its seasoned boneless pork dipped in Tangy BBQ Sauce and topped with chopped onions and pickles, is a favorite for some, including TODAY’s own Al Roker, who even developed his own copycat version for those who crave the elusive sandwich outside of November.

“It turns out not everyone was ready to say goodbye to the McRib after last year’s Farewell Tour,” a McDonald’s USA spokesperson tells TODAY.com. “While it won’t be available nationwide, some lucky fans may find their favorite elusive saucy sandwich at their local McDonald’s restaurants this November.”
But, like we said, no one is surprised it’s coming back. Ever since its debut in 1981, it’s been a limited-time item we can always count on to return. It’s McDonald’s pumpkin spice latte. (Sorry, Al — we know you’d hate that comparison).
McDonald’s didn’t specify when it would depart from menus again, but last year it was gone by Nov. 20.
The McRib is set to return to select McDonald’s restaurants in November, despite the company’s previous announcement that November 2022 would be its “Farewell Tour.” Rumors of its return began circulating in September, and now it has been confirmed. The boneless pork sandwich has become a pop culture icon and has gained a dedicated fan base. While it won’t be available nationwide, some lucky fans may find the elusive sandwich at their local McDonald’s locations this November. The McRib has been a limited-time item since its debut in 1981 and is always expected to come back. Last year, it was removed from menus by November 20.
