Ah yes, another five star sauce. I’ve been pretty much addicted to this one since it was sent to me and I’ve tried it on everything from Angus beef burgers (gifts from Omaha Steak Co) to mac & cheese to grilled chicken and grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s a great all purpose sauce that I can’t [...]

AJ’s Mesquite Barbecue Sauce (5/5)
First impressions can be deceiving. A quick glance at this bottle, and you might be inclined to expect a generic taste from a mass marketer of multiple types of foods - all of which probably don’t taste all that good.
But I love it when I’m wrong.

Grandville’s Gourmet BBQ Sauce - Tropical (5/5)
I think a lot of companies get the execution of fruit-based BBQ sauces wrong. The concept of eating barbecue sauce with fruit is a bit odd for some who are used to garden variety (no pun intended) sauces that don’t taste much like typical fruits and vegetables.

Highlighting the Best Bottled BBQ Sauces (My Favorites)
When I tell my friends I have a website in which I review BBQ sauces, the first thing they ask me (after a quick laugh) is “OK, what is the best one?” And it’s not always an easy answer. There’s natural sauces, smoky sauces, spicy sauces, fruity sauces, mustard-based sauces, and much more. The below [...]

From Kim “Tex” Morgan:
This is a sauce I learned to make from my Dad. It was past down from his Dad. For years only friends and family where able to enjoy this sauce. Now I hope to let others enjoy what I’ve [...]

Head’s Red BBQ Sauce (5/5)
Head’s Red BBQ Sauce (5/5)
I’ve had various varieties come in from all over the world country, and I gotta say this sauce stacks way up there. With it’s deep red hue and a deep complex flavor to match, this sauce has been my favorite around the house for the past few weeks. In fact, it’s [...]

Salt Lick Original Recipe Bar-B-Que Sauce (5/5)
Not too long ago, my sister Julie and her husband Kevin brought me back a great sauce from a recent trip to Austin. They lived there for awhile and told me some of the cool things to do and have always had a sense of the local scene where ever they happened to live - [...]

Trader Joe’s Bold and Smoky Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce (5/5)
Awesome stuff. If you love the sweet/bold/smokiness of Bullseye BBQ sauce, with some additional onion and spice flavors added, you’ll love TJ’s Bold and Smoky KC Style BBQ Sauce.
And if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you, well… you should move.

Three Little Pigs Huff and Puff Competition BBQ Sauce (5/5)
5 Stars. I loved this sauce. Loved the packaging, the name, the taste, the brick house displayed on the bottle - just a really nice concept based on a great fairytale. The original fairytale is a little more gruesome than you might think, involving the death of the first two pigs, and the death of [...]

Russ and Franks Sassy BBQ Sauce (5 of 5)
Discovering hidden gems like this are one of the main reasons I started doing this website and blog.
Russ and Frank shipped me out three jars of sauce - their complete portfolio of Mild, Sassy, and Fiery.
And I went straight to Sassy, perhaps because I knew what to expect from the others. And if you think [...]

Bone Suckin Sauce (5 of 5)
Phil Ford, a real estate appraiser and father of four in Raleigh, North Carolina, developed his sauce around 1987 while trying to copy his mother’s recipe for a western North Carolina-style barbecue sauce.
The resulting all natural, fat-free, fragrant blend of ingredients include: tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, molasses, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, onions, garlic, [...]

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Sensous Slathering Sauce (5/5)
Clearly marketed towards big loud chopper owners, the references aren’t too strong enough to turn off those of us who aren’t bikers.
How many references to Harley’s can you find on this bottle? I found 5
The manufacturer describes this as “an aggressive, crimson-red, tomato-based sauce riddled with spices you can see, smell and taste,” and I’d [...]

Caribbean Calypso Island Hoppin’ BBQ Sauce & Dip (5/5)
By now, only on my third review for BBQ Sauce Reviews, I’m startin’ to notice a lot of g’s missin’ in the packagin’. I guess it’s how most of these sauces are marketed - as kinda casual and fun - as the process of grilling and eating BBQ’d foods is inherently fun.
Although this Caribbean model [...]
