Get hungry for some nostalgia, folks. Northside Yacht Club's infamous 'McRib' is returning for this weekend's patio and carry-out special.
Dubbed the "McDowell’s Smoked Ribwich BBQ sandwich" — and the vegan seitan barbecue sandwich for the non-meat eaters — the McDonald's McRib-inspired creation doesn't come around often, but when it does, it's worth a special visit (or several).
The meaty version is made with a smoked spare rib on a Cuban roll, slathered in house tangy barbecue sauce and topped with white onions and pickles. The meatless version is basically the same, but features housemade seitan as the protein. Both cost $12 and include fresh-cut fries.
In addition to the special sammies, visitors can expect a petite menu featuring the Yacht Club Double Smash Burger, smoked chicken or cauliflower wings and poutine, plus some boozy beverages like Val's Creamy Pineapple Margarita and the Capri Sun of Anarchy with lavender lemonade and vodka.
Northside Yacht Club is offering outdoor seating on their two-story patio in the back of the restaurant and several tables on their front patio, in addition to carry-out. The kitchen and patios will be open from 4-10 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and they ask guests to please enter through the Dane Avenue entrance and wait to be seated.
Northside Yacht Club, 4231 Spring Grove Ave., Northside.
