What's the BEST STOre BOUGHT BBQ Sauce?

loeman · Aug 26, 2013

BBQ sauce is a staple in my house. Gotta have it when the brisket or the pork comes off the grill. For these times I have a good homemade recipe that works well for me and my family. However, I need BBQ sauce all the time! Meatloaf, hamburgers, leftover steak whatever, I need good BBQ sauce for these purposes. Over the past two years I've been using Trader Joes sweet and spicy. It's a good sauce but I'm getting jaded. Maybe there's something better.

There must be 25 or more sauces in the stores that I frequent. I don't want to buy them all, just to test. I'm relying on YOU! What is your favorite STORE BOUGHT BBQ sauce? A reason for your liking will be helpful too as I know taste preferences vary from region to region.

Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle. Followed by their Hickory and Brown Sugar, and their Sweet N' Spicey.

I used to really like Head Country BBQ Sauce, & I still do, I just wish it was a little thicker. I've been using Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet & Spicy lately, & that works well for me.

Stubbs Spicy, I don't do sweet BBQ sauces generally.

Yup, forgot to mention them, as the SBR's always seems to be on sale. I like Stubb's Original. BTW, Stubb's has some good marinades too.

If you like a sweet sauce, you can't go wrong with Sweet Baby Ray's Original.
But I'm from the south. We sweeten honey with sugar down here.

"Famous Dave's" BBQ Sauce "Devil's Spit" a little spicy but very good. They also make a sweet version

Famous Daves "Devils Spit" is really good. I like a local brand "McKennas" a little sweet, a little tangy. The wife will eat it without complaints. Gotta keep the wife happy.

Trader Joes Carolina Gold. It has a very complex flavor but is somewhat sweet. It is not as vinegar-y as a typical mustard based sauce. It is like a Kansas style and true Carolina style had a child and that child was adorable.

Speaking of sauce- Trader Joe sells the best bottled Margarita mix on the planet, Janet.
And I have pretty much tried it all!

I cook with Open Pit Original and sometimes use Cattlemans to season something already cooked.

I'm still lookin' for a favorite.

In the fridge right now, there's Sweet Baby Ray's, Devil's Spit, Hunt's Bold, and an Archer Farms sauce.

I've dabbled in making my own, and made a pretty good batch one time, when I used balsamic vinegar instead of cider vinegar.

I've tried 'em all. I used to make homemade barbecue sauce until I tried this stuff....Bone Suckin' Sauce. Now, that's about all I use.

Peter Luger's sauce works for me.......

I went to a BBQ joint up north a few years ago. They bragged about their special BBQ sauce so I tried a little. The meat was cooked OK but the sauce sucked. It was like vinegar and catsup. I went out to the truck and got a bottle of SBR's and enjoyed the rest of my lunch. I like my BBQ sweet with a little Louisiana hot sauce and fresh Vidalia onions to liven it up.
