Big Billy BBQ Sauce (4/5)

Guest review by Paul Zonfrillo from Team ZBQ

The best way I can describe this sauce is KC BBQ meets Carolina Vinegar sauce. It is on the thin side for consistency, has a noticeable deal of acidity, but it is balanced out by a good dose of sweet. The result is a full bodied [...]

Gayle’s Sweet N Sassy Apple Cider Smoke (4/5)

When I received my first plastic pouch filled with BBQ sauce, I wasn’t sure what to think. Quickly I learned this new sauce from Gayle’s has great ingredients, excellent/unique packaging, a bold apple/smoke flavor and it’s somewhat famous. It’s not too thick and not too thin, which makes it versatile for most types of cooking [...]

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, [...]

Backyard Grill BBQ Sauce Review (4/5)

Before looking at the ingredients, its a full-flavored KC-style sauce with a solid onion-garlic infusion that I would recommend to anyone looking for a flavorful KC style sauce with a little extra spice. Nothing too fancy or different, but tasty.
After looking at the ingredients, the perspective changes and you get a different picture altogether…

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.

Nebby’s Best Barbecue Sauce (4/5)

It’s all about the fire and what happens in it. And although it took me awhile to realize it for this particular sauce, Nebby had this figured out from the start and remained confident that his sauce would stand up to my criticism. This is a story of a sauce that at first glance appeared [...]

Country Bob’s Barbeque Sauce (2/5)

Country Bob is a great guy and a marketing machine - maybe it’s because Christ is his C.E.O. (it says that on the website and all of the marketing materials feature heavy usage of bible passages). However, if one looks past the biblical references, there’s a lot this company is doing right - distribution at [...]

Blue Ribbon Carolina BBQ Sauce (4/5)

A great tasting BBQ sauce from a great BBQ joint in Massachusetts (yes that’s where I’m writing from). This hits the mark with a combination of great taste, smell, and packaging. I love the tallboy-style glass bottle for BBQ sauces.
I was a little surprised at how thin it was (not the best for backyard grillers) [...]

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 [...]

Sticky Fingers Memphis Original Barbecue Sauce (2/5)

To sum up this sauce, it’s yet another mass produced “looks like it’s from a small mom and pop store variety sauce but actually from a fairly large corporation” variety. And that’s not always horrible. It’s when the sauce is loaded up with ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, MSG, and artificial flavors [...]

Millers Secret Sauce Original BBQ Sauce (4/5)

Paul Miller has been making this sauce for about a year and a half. Not long ago, he produced his first official batch and shipped me out a few samples. I suggest you try it out!
From Paul
“Well I started making my own sauce a few years ago and after many, many hours over the [...]
