What is the McRib sandwich?
The McRib features seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy barbecue sauce and topped with onions and dill pickles complimented by a toasted bun.
This delicious offering first debuted at McDonald's in 1981 in Kansas City, Kansas and has built up a huge following since. While the sandwich is considered a staple of the restaurant’s history, it typically is only available as a temporary or seasonal item.
Through the years, McDonald’s brought the McRib back to meet consumer demand, including for a "farewell tour" in 2022 making the sandwich available for three weeks and for a limited-time offering at some restaurants in 2023.
