I tried it once and thought it was awful.
(It turns out there is no actual rib meat in it. It is just mystery meat pressed in a rib-shaped mold.)
I love real ribs.

@DrWatson that's so false. But whatever

@SW-User Years ago , I read an article in a print newspaper about how the product was analyzed in a lab, and no rib meat was found in it.
Here is a more recent update from tastecooking.com:
"According to McDonald’s, McRibs are primarily made of ground boneless pork shoulder emulsified with water, spices, dextrose sugar, and preservatives to refine its flavor and texture. The meat’s smoky flavor comes from liquid smoke, a benign distillate of smoky vapor, rather than anything approaching low-and-slow barbecue, but for a sandwich that costs a couple bucks and appears as if by random to brighten our day, we’ll take it."
