McDonald's is bringing back its polarizing McRib sandwich to select locations starting this week, October 27th. The McRib, featuring a boneless pork patty with BBQ sauce, onions, and pickles on a hoagie bun, first debuted in 1981. It was a menu staple for years but was pulled in the early 2000s due to its polarizing nature. Some loved its sweet and tangy taste, while others disliked that its patty was restructured meat and shaped like ribs without actual bones. For the past several years, the McRib has made a limited, seasonal return each fall.This year, it will be available in confirmed cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia. The exact duration of its availability has not been announced. To check if your local McDonald's offers the McRib, consult the official McDonald's app or the crowdsourced website McRibLocator.com. Prices for the McRib vary significantly by location, with reported costs ranging from $4.47 to $7.99, and an average price of $6.05 in the U.S. McDonald's has not set a national price, reflecting its market-dependent pricing strategy.
