McDonald’s announced the return of the McRib in September 2021, and the time has finally come.

On November 1, the iconic sandwich rejoins McDonald’s menus nationwide.

Featuring a boneless pork patty slathered in barbecue sauce and garnished with onions and pickles, the sandwich retails for $3.69 on average, though prices do vary across the nation.

The McRib first joined McDonald’s menus in 1981.

Since 1985, it has appeared on the menu in short spurts.

It remains unclear as to how long the item will remain on the menu this time around, and if any additional changes will be made.

What other additions are coming to the McDonald’s menu?

Joining the McRib on November 3 is the new McPlant burger.

In a joint venture with Beyond Meat, the sandwich will only be sold in select stores nationwide.

So far, the burger is said to be distributed in only eight restaurants in Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and California.

The burger features a plant-based patty, topped with mayo, tomato, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and American cheese.

Despite the plant-based patty, which is made from peas, rice, potatoes, and similar ingredients, the McPlant is not vegan.

The burger comes to the US after a trial in the UK where it retailed for £3.49, or $4.80.

The McRib and McPlant burger join a trio of Fall menu items, including a pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin creme pie, and a glazed pull apart donut.
