I’ve been experimenting with different recipes, and I finally found the perfect combination of ingredients that will allow you to make this sauce at home.
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s take a look at some interesting facts about Red Robin and its Buzz Sauce:
- Red Robin was founded in 1969 in Seattle, Washington.
- There are currently over 570 Red Robin restaurants in the United States and Canada.
- The Buzz Sauce was originally created in 2002 as a limited-time offer but became so popular that it’s now a permanent menu item.
- The sauce is a combination of sweet and spicy flavors, with honey, hot sauce, and chili pepper as its main ingredients.
Ingredients
Before we start cooking, let’s gather all the ingredients we need:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Now that we have all the ingredients, let’s start cooking!
- Combine honey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

That’s it! Now you can enjoy the delicious Red Robin Buzz Sauce in the comfort of your own home.
One tip I have is to adjust the amount of hot sauce and chili powder to your liking. If you prefer a milder sauce, use less hot sauce and chili powder. If you like it spicier, add more.
Also, I’ve found that the sauce tastes even better when it’s served cold, so make sure to refrigerate it before serving.
Lastly, I should mention that this recipe makes about 1 cup of sauce, so feel free to double or triple the recipe if you’re serving a larger crowd.
