MCDONALD'S plans to bring back the McRib burger for a limited time.

The famous pork sandwich will land in McDonald's restaurants across the US on November 1.

The McRib is a boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce, topped with onions and pickles.

It was first added to the main McDonald’s menu in 1981 but was taken off four years later.

Since then, it’s made frequent reappearances for a short time.

McDonald’s even launched the McRib Locator a few years ago so you can see if your nearest restaurant is serving the sought-after sandwich.

There are around 14,000 McDonald's branches in the US and prices vary per location.

However, FastFoodMenyPrices says a McRib costs around $3.69 or you can get it as part of a meal for around $6.

McDonald's is yet to confirm how long it'll be available, so we'll update this article once we hear back.

The McRib has 520 calories per sandwich, so keep that in mind if you're keeping a close eye on your waistline.

Men are advised to consume no more than 2,500 calories a day, while it's 2,000 for women.

You can find more McRib nutrition facts and the ingredient list on McDonald's website.

Excited McDonald's fans have been hyping about the McRib return on social media, with one saying: "Finally. I’ve been waiting for this."

While another added: "Why doesn’t @McDonalds just keep the McRib on a permanent basis? It’s literally one of the best items they offer."

McDonald's typically brings back the popular sandwich each year.

Last year, a McDonald's worker revealed how McRibs are made and stored.

We also explain whether the fast food chain's all day breakfast menu will return.
