Why I Love Red Robin Campfire Sauce
The first time I went to Red Robin, I fell in love with the bottomless fries and Campfire Sauce. I couldn’t stop dipping those fries in it. If I’d known back then how easy it was to make at home, I would have been making it all the time.
Now when I’m craving Red Robin, I can make a Whiskey River BBQ Burger or chicken wrap at home and whip up this sauce to go with it. It’s ridiculously simple, which is probably my favorite part!

What’s in Red Robin Campfire Sauce?
This sauce is basically two ingredients: mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. That’s it.
- Mayonnaise: Use regular, full-fat mayo for the best texture. I use Best Foods (Hellmann’s on the East Coast). Skip Miracle Whip—it changes the flavor quite a bit.
- Barbecue sauce: A smoky or sweet hickory barbecue sauce works best. Bull’s-Eye is my favorite when I can find it, but Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory & Brown Sugar is another good option.
Storage and Serving Ideas
Store leftover Campfire Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before serving again.
It’s especially good with French fries, onion rings, burgers, chicken tenders, and wraps. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for baked potato wedges or roasted potatoes or spread it on sandwiches and burgers.
