- Replies 0
Attention all flavor adventurers and foodies with a penchant for the piquant: Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews is serving up a trifecta of taste sensations that are sure to ignite your palate and have you coming back for more.
In an exciting collaboration with Mike's Hot Honey, the beloved burger chain is introducing three “swicy” (that's sweet plus spicy) menu items that are making waves among fans of bold and innovative cuisine.
Starting March 24, for a limited time, Red Robin invites you to indulge in a culinary experience that marries the fiery kick of Mike's Hot Honey with the restaurant's signature gourmet flair.
Executive Chef and VP of Culinary & Beverage Innovation at Red Robin, Brian Sullivan, is buzzing with enthusiasm about the partnership.
“We're pushing the boundaries of flavor to offer our guests something truly unique,” he says. “These dishes are a testament to our commitment to culinary creativity and our desire to satisfy the cravings of our adventurous diners.”
So, what can you expect from this swicy lineup? Let's dive into the details of each mouthwatering creation.
1. Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Prepare your taste buds for a symphony of flavors with this hand-breaded, made-to-order fried chicken breast, generously drizzled with Mike's Hot Honey.
The heat is balanced with a cool green chili aioli, while fresh jalapeño slices and a shredded cabbage mix add a satisfying crunch. And, in true Red Robin fashion, it's served with a bottomless side to keep the deliciousness coming.
2. Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza
Pizza lovers, rejoice! This isn't just any pizza—it's the first Donatos® Pizza innovation at Red Robin in three years.
Topped with family-recipe pepperoni, smoked provolone, fresh mozzarella, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, this pizza is finished with a generous drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey for a swicy kick. Note that this item is available only at participating Red Robin restaurants.
3. Hot Honey Wings
Whether you're a fan of bone-in wings or prefer boneless chicken bites, these wings are tossed in Mike's Hot Honey and topped with red pepper flakes for an irresistible combination of sweet heat and savory goodness.

But why stop there? Red Robin encourages guests to get creative and add Mike's Hot Honey to any menu item for an extra burst of flavor.
Imagine the possibilities: Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts, Pretzel Bites, Sweet Potato Fries, or even one of Red Robin's new gourmet burgers, like the Southern Charm, all elevated with a touch of hot honey.
To complement these swicy dishes, Red Robin is also introducing new beverages that are just as exciting:
And for those seeking lighter fare, Red Robin hasn't forgotten about you.
The Everything Caesar Salad, available as an entrée or bottomless side, features crisp romaine tossed in house-made Everything Caesar dressing, topped with shaved Parmesan and smashed croutons.
The entrée version is served with a freshly grilled chicken breast. Or, opt for the Everything Chicken Caesar Wrap, which includes the salad plus tomatoes, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla and paired with one of Red Robin's bottomless sides.

Mike Kurtz, founder of Mike's Hot Honey, is thrilled about the collaboration. “We're all about that perfect balance of heat and sweetness,” he says. “Red Robin's commitment to gourmet quality makes them the ideal partner to showcase the versatility of our hot honey.”
And let's not forget the Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger, a towering tribute to burger lovers and sports fans alike.
This limited-time offering features three beef patties, four strips of hardwood-smoked bacon, six slices of American cheese, all smothered in Red's Secret Tavern Sauce. It's a slam dunk of flavor that's available until April 7.
