Iconic McRib sandwich is returning along with McRib sauce to McDonald’s in Pittsburgh.

McRib lovers rejoice.

McDonald’s is bringing back the iconic sandwich starting Dec. 3 at Pittsburgh restaurants. Not only is the McRib back, but avid fans can purchase half-gallon jugs of McDonald’s signature McRib sauce.

It will be available at participating restaurants and through the McDonald’s app, the fast-food chain said.

The jugs will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. on Monday at www.wholelottamcribsauce.com while supplies last, according to McDonald’s.

The McRib debuted in 1981 in the United States as a limited-time item in the Kansas City area, and it quickly skyrocketed in popularity, according to McDonald’s.

It’s made up of a seasoned boneless pork patty slathered in BBQ sauce and topped with slivered onions and tart dill pickles on a homestyle bun.

“The McRib has become a seasonal sensation, captivating fans with its limited availability,” the fast-food chain said. “Its reemergence on the menu has consistently resulted in long lines and enthusiastic outpourings on social media platforms from devoted fans, excited to savor its irresistible flavors once again.”
