After disappearing from the McDonald's menu several times, the McRib Sandwich has made a return at select locations this fall. Despite originally being introduced nearly 30 years ago, the specialty sandwich has become a lasting fan favorite among McDonald's customers. Now a select few will have a chance to sink their teeth into the meaty sandwich for another season.
The McRib Sandwich is a messy concoction made from a boneless pork shoulder patty that has been slathered in tangy BBQ sauce and served on a hoagie-style bun. The meat is also topped with tart pickles and slivered onions for a satisfying crunch.
While the cult favorite sandwich will not be available nation-wide, fans can use the online McRib Locator to find out where to get their hands on the elusive dish.
