McDonald’s has brought back the McRib sandwich for 2025, but fans will need to act fast—and possibly travel. The beloved barbecue pork sandwich will make its return on November 17, but only at select locations across the U.S. This marks yet another limited-time comeback for the McRib, which has developed a near-mythical status thanks to its sporadic appearances and devoted fanbase.

Where You Can Find It

According to McDonald’s, the McRib is available in the following cities:

  • Miami
  • Chicago
  • Los Angeles
  • Dallas
  • Atlanta
  • Seattle
  • St. Louis
  • Cleveland

Some additional regional markets, including parts of Iowa, have also reported sightings of the sandwich via the McRib Locator, a fan-run tool that tracks availability nationwide.

What’s in the McRib?

The McRib features:

  • A boneless pork patty shaped like a rack of ribs
  • Tangy barbecue sauce
  • Slivered onions
  • Pickles
  • Served on a toasted hoagie-style bun

First introduced in 1981, the McRib has become one of McDonald’s most-requested limited-time items. Despite multiple “farewell tours,” the sandwich continues to return, often around the holidays.

How to Get It

The McRib is available in-store, via drive-thru, and through the McDonald’s app in participating markets. Prices vary by location, typically ranging from $5.49 to $6.99. McDonald’s has not confirmed how long the sandwich will remain on menus, but it’s expected to be a short-term promotion.
