Stubby’s Barbeque Sauce (3/5)

The numbers tell a fair amount of the story, but I’d urge folks to try this. The taste is something for those of you who like the sweet stuff, but the consistency leans towards the “can I stick this meat product in a pool of it and let it sit overnight” variety. For backyard grillers, [...]

Fork ‘N Halo BBQ Fire and Brimstone Sauce (3/5)

Like breaking off a little piece of Hell and mixing it with some vinegar and tomato sauce, this stuff will certainly torture you with heat. If you believe your mouth should deserve the fire and brimstone treatment, then you might like it. If you’ve been reading me for a little while, you might know that [...]

Emeril’s Sweet Original BAM Barbecue Sauce (3/5)

Emeril is a huge brand that pulls in over $150 million a year in revenue across it’s media, restaurants, and products. This is a minor speck in the portfolio and (maybe because of that) it’s average at best. Another victim of the “large brand on auto-pilot” phenomena. The good qualities of the sauce include a [...]

Grandville’s Gourmet BBQ Sauce - Original Spicy (3/5)

Your parents always told you to eat your veggies and the creator of this sauce must have listened to his/her parents. The best way to describe it is to call it a tomato-based BBQ sauce loaded up with vegetables. And although I gave it a mediocre score, I think that BBQ sauce freaks (like me) [...]

BBQ Stu’s Barbeque Sauce - Original (3/5)

Psalm 34:8 says “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” The words “Psalm 34:8″ also sit on the side of this BBQ sauce. I wonder how long it took these guys to comb through the psalms to find a fitting reference for their BBQ sauce?
I liked [...]

BBQ’N Fools Signature Barbecue Sauce (3/5)

When it comes to your BBQ, we’re not Fool’n around - so says the slogan underneath the roasted jester. And I’d agree, they aren’t foolin around with this standard KC style BBQ sauce, but I have to say there’s not a lot different or outrageuously flavorful going on here.

Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q Habanero Red Sauce (3/5)

I’ll save some of my typical upfront meandering, simply because I already did that in my last Big Bob Gibson post. Well, I do have one tangential thought to bring up… being a web-based reviewer of products.

Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic Barbecue Sauce (3/5)

The BBQ sauce world does not revolve around tomatoes, so I had to review a mustard-based sauce for my fellow sauce lovers. This well-known Southern Carolina style, Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic Barbecue Sauce fit the bill. There’s some positives and negatives here, so this will be my first middle-of-the-road rating (3/5). My wife [...]

Lip Lickin’ Sauce - Bold & Spicy BBQ (3/5)

Plus side: Great cooked flavor, use of simple healthy ingredients, and no weird preservatives and thickening agents. Anchovies.
Downside: Thin, no heat when expected, a little boring. Anchovies.
Western North Carolina style BBQ sauce is thin by design, but sometimes a little too thin for my tastes. Lip Lickin’ Sauces market Western North Carolina style sauce (thin) [...]
