Does McDonalds have Steak, Egg and Cheese bagel 2022?

The fast-food chain has announced the return of its popular breakfast bagel sandwiches, including the Steak, Egg & Cheese sandwich that more than 20,000 people petitioned to have back on the menu.

In a press release, the restaurant said, “Fans asked, McDonald’s answered: breakfast bagels are back in Ohio!”

The company said starting in July, and for a “limited time,” customers can choose from four fan-favorite sandwiches: Steak, Egg & Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Sausage, Egg & Cheese, and Egg & Cheese Bagel.

Many fans have already taken to Twitter to express their excitement using the hashtag #Bagelsareback.

It’s not clear how long the sandwiches will stick around, so if you’re “loving it” head to a McDonald’s restaurant near you.

McDonald's can do no wrong in the breakfast category. The brand's latest return is just further evidence of this. The golden-arched fast food joint is rolling out three bagel sandwiches piled with your favorite early-morning ingredients.

The fan-favorite menu item, which is rejoining menus in three iterations, is landing in Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and across New England, Chew Boom reports.

Here's the full lineup: 

• Steak, Egg, & Cheese Bagel: a freshly toasted bagel smothered in real butter and topped with a folded egg, two slices of melted American cheese, and grilled onions
• Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel: butter, thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, a folded egg, and two slices of American cheese
• Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Bagel: a buttered bagel piled with a pork sausage patty, folded egg, and two slices of American cheese

Now while the Breakfast Bagels return is currently a limited one, that's not to say the trio of sammies won't go nationwide at some point. 

And speaking of fan favorites, the McRib is also returning to menus, but as part of a "farewell tour." The BBQ sandwich, which has garnered quite the following over the years, is back until November 20. You've got mere days left to enjoy it before it (potentially) exits menus for good.

"Like any true farewell tour, we're hoping this isn't a 'goodbye' but a 'see you later,'" McDonald's said in the announcement. "Because as our McRib stans have experienced time and time again: You never know when—or if—the McRib is coming back." 

Sometimes McDonald's heralds the return of a fan favorite with bells and whistles, like the McRib, and sometimes, for reasons unknown, it sneaks them quietly into restaurants. The highly desired bagel breakfast sandwiches appear to be the latter, and they are popping up in select locations.

After several fast-food news outlets reported about the return of bagel sandwiches this week, we reached out to McDonald's reps who confirmed that though bagels are no longer available nationwide, they are a regional offering and available at participating McDonald's restaurants in select markets, mentioning Columbus, Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, and other New England areas. They stressed that McDonald's Bagel Sandwiches are a limited-time offer at participating locations.

A search this morning confirmed that they are available in those locations. We chose random McDonald's locations in New York City and Westchester, N.Y., and all of them are currently carrying bagel sandwiches. We even ordered one and had it delivered to confirm that the local restaurants are indeed ready to fulfill those orders.

The three bagel sandwiches—Steak, Egg & Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; and Sausage, Egg, & Cheese—disappeared off McDonald's menus during the pandemic in 2020, but were spotted again in Ohio, Virginia, and Philadelphia in early September of this year.

McDonald's has long been promising to bring back the beloved breakfast items, so the returns aren't completely out of context.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

This week, Reddit users, in particular, are reporting seeing the bagel sandwiches everywhere. "Got a notification on my app this morning that they were finally back in Michigan! I know they have been trialing them again in Ohio for the last couple months," said one user. And others are reporting seeing them in parts of Illinois, New Jersey, Long Island, and Upstate New York.

Searches in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, came up bagel-less, but spots in Maine have the sandwiches, so they are available far into New England.

The beloved bagel sandwiches are officially back in wide regions of the country. This means the chain is making good on its 2021 promise, at least partially.
