With the summer bringing more heat to our days, it’s best that we spend our mornings devouring a heavy breakfast. And there are some fast food chains that offer hearty breakfast items for busy individuals doing quick morning runs. McDonald’s is one of the best fast food spots that offers hearty breakfast items for quick morning runs.
The Golden Arches brand is undeniably the biggest fast food chain in the world and they didn’t get this title by serving bits of menu items under their belt. Each menu category at McDonald’s is packed and deliciously made to cater to different times of the day. Their breakfast lineup boasts of different items such as biscuits, McMuffin, McGriddles, pancakes, burritos, hashbrowns, and breakfast meals, for starters. However, McDonald’s also gets ahead of the game by reintroducing previous items that have earned customers’ “fan favorite” status.
This summer is the perfect example of that. McDonald’s Bagel Sandwiches are back! They are currently being offered in select markets, including New Orleans, Georgia, Arkansas, southern California, central Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Nashville, and central New Jersey. This regional rollout will hopefully turn into a nationwide rollout soon!
McDonald’s breakfast bagels that are making a return are:
- Steak, Egg, and Cheese
- Bacon, Egg, and Cheese
- Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Bagel
Some reports say that the Bagel Sandwiches have been back in some areas for quite some time now. For example, fans in Michigan and Texas say they’ve enjoyed the return for over a year and some places like Kentucky and Maryland never even lost them. However, there are still places like Illinois and Iowa where the Bagel Sandwiches are just returning or have yet to come back. These differences in availability creates some regional confusion among McDonald’s fans.
In any case, the return of McDonald’s bagel sandwiches has generated a buzz, with social media comments ranging from excitement to confusion over the sandwich’s availability in different regions. Fair enough, I’d also be confused if I visit a nearby McD’s to try these returning menu item, and only to find out they’re not on my local McDonald’s breakfast menu.
For those who missed out on these bagel sandwiches during their absence, and for guests who hasn’t tried them yet, your waiting game may soon be over as the rollout progresses. Be sure to give any of these returning breakfast sandwich a taste when it rolls out in your area.

Recent Menu Comebacks at McDonald’s
Summer hasn’t even ended but menu comebacks have been pouring at McDonald’s! The return of the Bagel Sandwiches is just one of many comebacks at the fast food giant. Let’s do a quick recap on which items have returned and which items are new at McD’s.
McDonald’s McRib
McDonald’s just confirmed that their fan favorite item, the McRib is making a comeback later this year. Thanks to McDonald’s US president, Joe Erlinger, who personally confirmed that this baddie is coming back, even for a limited time. A fan favorite, the McRib is a pork sandwich that features a seasoned boneless pork patty covered in tangy bbq sauce, topped with onions, pickles, on a toasted bun. The McRib is one of McDonald’s items that yearly returns before being removed.
McDonald’s Smoky BLT Quarter Pounders
If you think the McRib is the only baddie returning at McDonald’s, think again. Two fan favorite burgers are also making a comeback at McD’s menu this July. Say hello to the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder and the Smoky BLT Double Quarter Pounder, the latest additions to McDonald’s summer menu.
These burgers swap traditional pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard for crispy bacon strips, lettuce, fresh-cut juicy tomatoes, and a special creamy sauce with a smoky flavor. Both features a 100% fresh beef quarter pound patty, two slices of American cheese, thick cut applewood smoked bacon, juicy Roma tomatoes, shredded lettuce, smoky sauce and a toasted sesame seed bun. And if you’ve got a big appetite, the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder can also be upgraded to a double, featuring two quarter-pound patties.

From The Club
I love how McDonald’s keeps the summer heat tolerable thanks to their great-tasting menu items. Bagel Sandwiches and Smoky Quarter Pounders are already here to make summer satisfying. Plus, McRib will also continue the strike when it comes back later on this year. It’s like McDonald’s is spoiling us with our classic favorites, and I’m not complaining, I just hope McDonald’s can also explore all-day breakfast food items as I really want to have some toasted bagel and fountain beverages an afternoon snack.
