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.

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

Grill'd sauces: six colourful dipping sauces served with golden fries

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:

  • A$1.90 standard dips: Herbed Mayo, Chipotle Mayo, Sweet Chilli Mayo, Tomato Relish
  • A$2.50 deluxe dips: Perfect Pickl’d Mayo, Golden Katsu Mayo, Sweet Habanero (some stores also list Very Peri’d and Creamy Blue deluxe dips)

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

Grill'd sauce squeeze bottles and glass bottles sold 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:

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:

  • Mild and creamy: Herbed Mayo (the all-rounder) and Egg Mayo (the quiet one on the wagyu builds)
  • Sweet: Sweet Chilli Mayo, the Davidson plum BBQ (fruity tang under the smoke, as our Bonfire BBQ review found), and the cranberry/berry glazes on the brie burgers
  • Tangy and sharp: Perfect Pickl’d Mayo, Dijon mustard, and the tomato relish that cuts through the beef burgers
  • The heat ladder: Chipotle Mayo (smoky warmth, softened by the mayo) → Chilli Relish → Sweet Habanero (the slow burner). And the odd one out: Golden Katsu — all the curry flavour, officially “spiced but not spicy”

Want the herbed mayo at home? The honest route isn’t a copycat recipe — it’s the $6 bottle at Coles.

FAQs

A small signature set: herbed mayo and tomato relish are the defaults, joined by chipotle mayo, sweet chilli mayo, egg mayo, Dijon mustard, Davidson plum BBQ sauce, cranberry/berry glaze, chilli relish, Caesar dressing, satay sauce and vegan mayo — plus three deluxe dips (Perfect Pickl’d, Golden Katsu, Sweet Habanero).

Tomato relish and herbed mayo — the classic Grill’d pairing, the same as the Almighty, Crispy Bacon & Cheese and Big Queenslander.

Grill’d’s signature mayonnaise (it contains egg, per the allergen matrix). It’s the default burger mayo, a A$1.90 dip, and a $6 bottle at Coles. Grill’d doesn’t publish its recipe, so the exact herbs stay Grill’d’s secret.

Standard dips (Herbed Mayo, Chipotle Mayo, Sweet Chilli Mayo, Tomato Relish) are A$1.90. Deluxe dips (Perfect Pickl’d, Golden Katsu, Sweet Habanero) are A$2.50. A deluxe dip is included with the HFC Tenders.

Yes — seven of them, at Coles only, since May 2026. Five squeeze bottles at $6 RRP (herbed mayo, sweet chilli mayo, smoky chipotle mayo, golden katsu mayo, Perfect Pickl’d mayo) and two glass bottles at $8 RRP (Native BBQ Sauce and Signature Tomato Relish). Woolworths doesn’t stock them.

No. There is no aioli anywhere on Grill’d’s official menu or allergen matrix — every creamy sauce is a mayonnaise (herbed mayo, egg mayo, chipotle mayo, sweet chilli mayo or vegan mayo).

No sauce in Grill’d’s official allergen matrix lists gluten as an ingredient. But Grill’d calls its options “gluten friendly” and warns they may contact traces of gluten, advising they are not suitable for coeliacs. Our gluten-free guide explains the full picture.

Of the everyday sauces, the Sweet Habanero deluxe dip is built to be the hot one (“slow-building habanero heat”), ahead of the chilli relish and the smokier, milder chipotle mayo. The Golden Katsu is the trick answer — full curry flavour, but officially “spiced but not spicy.”

The sauces are sold as dip pots ($1.90 standard, $2.50 deluxe), and Grill’d doesn’t publish a price for adding or swapping a sauce on a burger. Ask when you order — the worst they can say is no.
