So we have good news, and we have bad news. The elusive McDonald’s McRib is finally back…BUT this could be your last chance to get it.
What’s in a McDonald’s McRib?
The McDonald’s McRib starts with seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and dill pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun.
Does McDonald’s have the McRib 2022?
After three straight years headlining McDonald’s US nationwide menu each fall, the iconic sandwich is embarking on a “Farewell Tour” – giving fans across the country one more chance to experience a taste of the McRib at participating McDonald’s restaurants starting Oct. 31.
Like any true farewell tour, they’re hoping this isn’t a “goodbye” but a “see you later.” But you never know when – or if – the McRib is coming back.
Order yours in the McDonald’s app for delivery or pick up before you say goodbye on 11/20/22.
McDonald’s McRib Farewell Tour Merch

The nostalgic McRib merch line will be available beginning Nov. 4 at 11 a.m. ET on GoldenArchesUnlimited.com, with pricing starting as low as $0.99.
McDonald’s McRib History
Before the McRib takes its final bow, we’re paying homage by bringing fans on a trip down memory lane with the McRib’s “Greatest Hits” – featuring special moments that made the McRib the icon it is today – for all to reminisce and enjoy.
- “McRIB® IS BORN” – It all started in 1980, when McDonald’s came up with a seasoned, boneless pork sensation, slathered in tangy barbecue sauce, topped with slivered onions and tart pickles. That brilliant sandwich became the now-famous McRib®, and for the first time ever a fan experienced the sauciness.
- “MINI AND ME” – In 2003, McDonald’s introduced a mini version of this fan-favorite when the McRib® Jr. entered the scene (aw!)
- “500 McRIB® MILES” – The McRib® became so popular that in 2008, a superfan came up with the McRib Locator, a way to finally track where in the world McRib aficionados could find the delicious sandwich.
- “McRIB® 24/7″ – Maybe fans remember this viral post from 2020, relating just a little too hard to the excitement of waiting for the return of the McRib®. This customer clearly understood the assignment.
- “THE FUTURE IS McRIB®“ – In 2021, the McRib® became a piece of modern history for fans when McDonald’s USA created its first-ever NFT featuring digital versions of the McRib, almost as saucy as the sandwich itself IRL.
- “MY BBQ BFF” – We know diehard McRib® fans are often the reason newcomers try the McRib. In 2021, superfans like Rodney Harris tried to convince their friends to indulge in the barbeque-y goodness of the McRib. We all need a friend like Rodney.
- “SEE YA LATER, McRIB®” – The McRib® has truly become a family affair for over 40 years, passing down the sandwich as tradition and making memories to last a lifetime.
