You loved the mayo on your burger — but what is it actually called? Is it aioli? Can you order it with your chips, and how much is the little pot? And why does the bottle in the supermarket say “Smoky Chipotle” when the menu just says chipotle? Grill’d runs its whole menu on a small set of signature sauces, yet no page anywhere lists them all. So which Grill’d sauces exist, which burgers do they come on, and what do they cost?
Grill’d’s menu runs on a small set of signature sauces: herbed mayo and tomato relish are the defaults on most burgers, with chipotle mayo, sweet chilli mayo, egg mayo, Dijon mustard and Davidson plum BBQ sauce covering the rest — and four of them are sold as A$1.90 dips.
Every Grill’d Sauce — the Full List
This list comes from Grill’d’s own Allergen Matrix (National, June 2026) — the document that names every sauce the chain uses — matched against the menu itself.
Sauce | What it is | Dip price |
Herbed Mayo | The signature house mayo — the default on most burgers (contains egg) | A$1.90 |
Tomato Relish | The “relish” in most burger descriptions; sweet, tangy tomato | A$1.90 |
Chipotle Mayo | Smoky chilli mayo — the HFC Chipotle and HFC Smokey sauce (contains egg) | A$1.90 |
Sweet Chilli Mayo | Creamy mayo with a sweet-chilli side (contains egg) | A$1.90 |
Egg Mayo | The plainer creamy mayo, mostly on chicken and wagyu builds (contains egg) | — |
Dijon Mustard | The sharp one — mustard builds and wagyu burgers | — |
Davidson Plum BBQ Sauce | Grill’d’s only BBQ sauce — an Australian native plum twist | — |
Cranberry Sauce / Berry Glaze | The sweet-tart partner for the brie burgers | — |
Chilli Relish | The hotter relish — Chilli Addict and HotBird | — |
Caesar Dressing | On the Caesar burgers and salads (contains egg, fish and dairy) | — |
Satay Sauce | On the Zen Hen only (contains peanuts) | — |
Vegan Mayo | The plant-based mayo on the vegan builds | — |
Perfect Pickl’d Mayo | Deluxe dip — dill-pickle tang through creamy mayo (contains egg) | A$2.50 |
Golden Katsu Mayo | Deluxe dip — katsu curry spices in mayo: “spiced but not spicy” | A$2.50 |
Sweet Habanero | Deluxe dip — tropical sweetness, slow-building heat | A$2.50 |
Three more names sit in Grill’d’s allergen matrix — a balsamic vinaigrette on the salads, sour cream on the chilli burgers, and two hot sauces (Hawthorn and Hellfired) whose current menu home we couldn’t confirm; they look like limited-run sauces rather than everyday ones. You can check the source document yourself in Grill’d’s official Allergen Matrix.
Two myth-busts while we’re here. There is no aioli at Grill’d — every creamy sauce is a mayo. And there is no “special sauce” or “secret sauce” — the herbed mayo is the house signature, and it’s hiding in plain sight.
One allergen note that matters: none of the sauces in the official matrix lists gluten as an ingredient — but Grill’d’s own footnote warns its gluten-friendly options may contact traces of gluten and are not suitable for coeliacs. We unpack exactly that in our guide to whether Grill’d chips are gluten-free.
Which Sauce Comes on Which Burger?
The pattern across Grill’d sauces is simpler than the menu makes it look. Most of the range runs on one of four families:
The herbed mayo defaults — tomato relish & herbed mayo is the classic Grill’d pairing: Simply Grill’d, the Almighty, Crispy Bacon & Cheese, the Big Queenslander, the Simon Says and the Baa Baa lamb burger (no, it’s not tzatziki — our Baa Baa review settles that one).
The egg mayo builds — the HFC Classic, and the wagyu pair: the Wagyu Wunder layers Dijon mustard, tomato sauce and egg mayo, while the Bonfire BBQ goes one better with three sauces at once — Davidson plum BBQ, Dijon and egg mayo.
The HFC pair — chipotle mayo does the heat work on the HFC Chipotle and the HFC Smokey; the HFC BLAT breaks ranks with herbed mayo. The Sweet Chilli Chicken runs on — what else — sweet chilli mayo plus relish.
The sweet ones — brie needs fruit: the Bird & Brie pairs cranberry sauce with herbed mayo, and the Grand Brie gets a berry glaze. And the outliers, each doing one job: satay sauce on the Zen Hen, Caesar dressing on the Caesar range, Davidson plum BBQ + sweet chilli mayo together on the Cluck Norris.
Dips & Extras — What the Little Pots Cost

Seven of the sauces are sold as standalone dips for your chips — the full price list lives on our Grill’d menu with prices page:
Grill’d’s own words for the deluxe three: the Perfect Pickl’d is “a tangy taste of dill pickles blended through creamy whole mayo”; the Golden Katsu layers “katsu-style curry into whole creamy mayo — spiced but not spicy”; and the Sweet Habanero brings “tangy tropical notes” with “slow-building habanero heat.”
Two good-value facts: the HFC Tenders come with your choice of a deluxe dip included in the price, and the Chips Share Plate includes three dips. And one honest limit: no published price exists for adding or swapping a sauce on a burger — the dips are sold as pots, so for a swap, ask in store.
The Supermarket Bottles — Grill’d Sauces at Coles

Half the people searching for Grill’d sauces actually want the bottles. Since May 2026, Grill’d sells seven sauces at Coles only (not Woolworths) — five in squeeze bottles at a recommended $6, and two in glass bottles at $8:
Coles bottle | Restaurant sauce |
Famous Herbed Mayo — $6 | Herbed Mayo |
Sweet Chilli Mayo — $6 | Sweet Chilli Mayo |
Smoky Chipotle Mayo — $6 | Chipotle Mayo |
Golden Katsu Mayo — $6 | Golden Katsu Mayo Dip |
Perfect Pickl’d Mayo — $6 | Perfect Pickl’d Mayo Dip |
Native BBQ Sauce — $8 | Davidson Plum Barbeque Sauce |
Signature Tomato Relish — $8 | Tomato Relish |
Notice the renames: the restaurant’s “Chipotle Mayo” becomes “Smoky Chipotle” on shelf, and the Davidson plum BBQ sauce becomes “Native BBQ Sauce.” Same family, supermarket names. The prices above are the recommended retail prices from the launch — shelf prices move with Coles promotions. And the range is partial: there’s no bottled Sweet Habanero, egg mayo, Dijon or satay, so the restaurant still keeps some secrets.
Which Sauce Should You Try? A Flavour Guide
Grill’d publishes no recipes and no ingredient lists beyond the allergen matrix — so nobody outside Grill’d can tell you exactly what’s in the herbed mayo, and anyone who claims otherwise is guessing. What we can do is point you by flavour, from Grill’d’s official descriptions and our own burger reviews:
Want the herbed mayo at home? The honest route isn’t a copycat recipe — it’s the $6 bottle at Coles.
