Both are big on flavor and deliver a satisfying crunch with each bite. The new Cheesy Crunch Burger combines a pure beef patty with a slice of melted pimento cheese, bacon, fried onion rings, and a [sweet sriracha ranch sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-robin-gourmet-burgers). For those who prefer chicken over beef, the new Honey Crunch Chicken Sandwich combines a crispy piece of fried chicken with bacon, onion rings, and a drizzle of [creamy honey mustard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-greene-turtle-and-mikes-hot-honey) to create a sweet and savory flavor profile. For a full meal, each can be paired with fries or tots on the side.
