For almost a decade, fast food fans have been begging McDonalds for the return one thing: The McRib.

And now, the burger — made with pork, barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions — is finally returning to menus in the East Midlands for the first time since 2015.

But it’s only returning for a limited time – boo!

The Maccies item was launched back in 1981 but failed to impress and was discounted just four years later.

Costing £4.49 on its own or £6.19 as part of a medium meal, the McRib will be returning to restaurants from Wednesday, October 16, but you’ll only be able to get your hands on it for a limited time, and once there gone, there gone.

McDonald’s confirms McRib will return to menus

Discussing the McRib’s return, Thomas O’Neill, Head of Menu at McDonald’s UK said: “It is more than just a sandwich; it’s a phenomenon.

“We have heard our fans loud and clear – the fan petitions and pleas on social – and after almost a decade of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring back this iconic menu item.

“Knowing how well-loved the McRib is, we had very little choice – we had to make it happen. It was time to step up and satisfy the cravings of McRib enthusiasts across the country.” 

A while ago, some McDonald’s fans had noticed a mysterious message from McDonald that caught the eyes of many. 

The message from the app said: “McRib_Test.notification _16.10.24 [TEST]” with an error message attached.
