"Don't you just love the sauce on your burger you just got from the restaurant or even the fast food joint. Well we do, put this on your burgers instead of the regular mayo and ketchup. We love to dip our french fries in this too." — Soifua

I used to work for Arctic Circle before they automated everything; we made the secret fry sauce from scratch back then. This is almost it! For the restaurant, we would've omitted the pepper; added a little paprika, and a little mustard.

I USE THIS RECEIPE HOWEVER I ADD PICKLE RELISH INSTEAD OF PICKLES AND I ADD 1/2 TEASPOON OF YELLOW MUSTARD. I USE THIS FOR ALL MY SANDWICH MAKINGS ESPECIALLY HAMBURGERS.

Tasty and easy sauce to perk up burgers! I meant to buy dill pickle relish specifically for this recipe, but picked up sweet relish instead - it was still delicious! In fact I don't even like sweet relish, but at least I've found a use for it now. Not so sure where the review about "too much garlic" came from - I found the garlic powder to be very subtle. Perhaps fresh garlic would have been overpowering, but as stated this recipe is a nice blend of simple ingredients that results in a very nice new condiment! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Very similar to McDonald's Big Mac sauce. I made this last weekend and slathered it on hamburgers we'd barbequed. Nice change from your typical ketchup/mustard/mayo. I added a little Tabasco for a little kick. Would use again.

A good burger sauce, I used relish for the chopped pickles. I've tried this one and Best Burger Sauce from this site and I have to say Best Burger sauce has a much better flavor.

After we made this last night I thought to myself... 'I know this taste'. After thinking about it I realized it's Thousand Island Dressing! I see I'm not the only person who's figured this out. I mean it taste's fine. But if your not a fan of that dressing, dont make this.

I thought this was great. I made half of the recipe in the morning, for dinner that night. I did add a sguirt of mustard to it as some suggested, you can taste the difference between this and store bought 1000 Island Dressing. Very good recipe.

I made a small batch of this tonight just for dipping oven fries. It was really good, and my husband who always uses mayo and ketchup for his fries was really impressed. I can't wait to try this on a burger!
