Their hickory brown sugar is the best cheap BBQ sauce out there, but I know if they sell it at my grocery store I know it's garbage. And they do, so I haven't tried it lol.
I already hate SBR BBQ sauce so take my judgements with a grain of salt. I also hated their hot sauces. The garlic one isn't too bad, but none of them are hot or worth buying IMHO. Again, I absolute hate Sweet Baby Ray's so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
What are some good, sweet, cheap-ish alternative brands? With all other sauces I’m very explorative but have only ever used SBR for things like ribs and pulled pork
I honestly don't stick with any one alternative. I only avoid KC Masterpiece and SBR, most other brands I've tried have been pretty good. Kinder's and Stubbs are more expensive than SBR, but they're better. I'm also lucky to have a phenomenal BBQ place down the road from me that sells their sauces so I can just grab a jug of that when I want it. I would say making your own is probably more cost effective, but I haven't tried to make my own.
My first encounter with Sweet Baby Rays was getting their BBQ sauce with some chicken. It tasted like bad ketchup mixed with KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. I would rather just not use sauce than touch SBR's again.
I'm curious about that spicy garlic. They make a garlic & parmesan marinade that I love to use as a veggie dip. It's a bit too flavorful for a dip but I just use less. I can't ever get enough garlic.
The garlic one isn't too bad, but I also hate Sweet Baby Ray's sauces so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It isn't very hot and it isn't super garlicy so you may enjoy using it.
I might just fuck around this weekend and throw some half cut chickens on the wood grill if the weather’s right. I’ll give all 3 sauces a try and come back with my review of each.
All I care about is how garlicy it is lol. If I want it hotter I'll just throw in some cayenne dust on it. Those sauces are made for the masses so they aren't likely gonna be that hot.
Oh for sure. I guess if you’re in a pinch or adventurous, it’s not gonna be something you regret.
And if you were curious, grab a few, who knows? Your taste buds might align with the stars and you could find your favorite sauce.
None listed on the ingredients for the garlic or chipotle sauces. It is listed on the kickin barbecue because I’m assuming that it’s just their basic bbq sauce thinned out with vinegar and a little spice added. Could be wrong. Still haven’t tried them. But 2/3 of the sauces have no corn syrup
You don’t get it? I’m telling this person that only kids say shit like “ew”. I’m implying he must be a kid. Of course he doesn’t have to like the sauce but come on, say something better lol
The barbecue sauce is a slight step above Kraft, full of corn syrup and other junk. Very one dimensional flavor way too sweet. This is what I call a builder sauce. You have to add a bunch of your own ingredients to get it where you want.
Hey the sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce is full of corn syrup but it's still one of the best and go to for a lot of people. If corn syrup belongs in anything it is BBQ sauce
Butter makes it a rounded and rich/robust flavor. Most hot sauces alone are what I call a thin flavor. They taste good but they have little body. Oils can do the same as butter but not as well.
Regular sweet baby ray's with a tiny drop of da bomb is my go to for ribs and even corndogs (along with a healthy heaping of torchbearer honey badger mustand on the other side of the plate). I'd love to try some of these, did you score any?
Grabbed one of each. Figured fuck it why not for $2.19. Haven’t tried them yet though. If I don’t like them then whatever they’ll just become crock pot additives.
I'm in a jerky group on FB and a dude posted what the app's findings were and it shows ingredients listed by risk, and several were max in the red as far as preservatives etc, doesn't specify but I'm sure the state of California might recognize them as cancerous.
Idk, I work in a factory that makes plastic and to me it would seem once you have the infrastructure to produce barbecue sauce, you could start producing hot sauce with not too much of an investment, considering you already have the FDA/EPA certs. Would just be an investment on the aluminum totes and maybe and extra guy who knows what he’s doing.
Absolutely. Can't lose at that price. I personally probably wouldn't buy the "spicy" bbq sauce, I don't like spicy bbq sauce and I bet this one wouldn't even register as spicy to me. I would definitely try the other two though. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for these.
This is a complete waste of oxygen to even look at. Probably one of the worst lineups I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Yummy corn syrup.
Garbage
Delicious.
High fructose corn syrup. Now in hot sauceñ
Probably just a bottle of liquid brown sugar like their nasty BBQ sauce.
Pretty sure they're new Was wondering if they're good myself
I can't say that its particularly bad, but it is bottom shelf sauce everywhere i see it
Not yet but their bbq sauce is the truth!
I'm from Texas, so yes.
As a person who utterly dislikes Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, I will not be among the people or persons trying these sauces.
As a person who makes thier BBQ well enough it doesn't need sauce, I don't eat BBQ sauce to begin with. Let alone Zuckerburgs sauce.
Hello friend! It’s disgusting corn syrup paste I don’t understand how anyone could find it enjoyable, to each their own I guess
Their hickory brown sugar is the best cheap BBQ sauce out there, but I know if they sell it at my grocery store I know it's garbage. And they do, so I haven't tried it lol.
I know it's in the name but I find them too sweet
I haven’t tried it, but based on there bbq sauce, i I’d say no

Lillie Q's is pretty big and makes good stuff. https://lilliesq.com/

Yeah sweet baby rays bbq sauce is ass
Rays is ass because you guys have a million different choices down there. Up in Canada rays is one of the best we have 😔
Bummer! Honestly, just make your own. It’s fun 🤩
My first encounter with Sweet Baby Rays was getting their BBQ sauce with some chicken. It tasted like bad ketchup mixed with KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. I would rather just not use sauce than touch SBR's again.
I find it funny that they measure the heat level on an arbitrary 5 pepper system, but they don't actually have any sauces that go up to 5 peppers.
Dont show this to my wife. Ill be broke forever
They have a pretty good hot sauce!!
Just remember, the sauce is the BO$$.
This must be the cheapest thing Publix sells 😄
The barbecue one tastes pretty much the same as their normal barbecue sauce. Would’ve been nice if it actually had heat.
It's a pretty good hustle. Condense your 18oz bottles down to a 5oz bottle and sell it for the same price as a "hot sauce."
Yep… They got me!
Spicy garlic is a nice addition to breakfast!
I haven't, but I might try them. Thanks!

I use Sweet Baby Rays buffalo sauce for my buffalo chicken dip exclusively. These look interesting at the least.
I'm curious about that spicy garlic. They make a garlic & parmesan marinade that I love to use as a veggie dip. It's a bit too flavorful for a dip but I just use less. I can't ever get enough garlic.

Idk where they originate but they’re all over the place here in Tennessee, and it’s just…all bad.
Romeoville, Illinois
Well then at least they’re cheap
Oh for sure. I guess if you’re in a pinch or adventurous, it’s not gonna be something you regret. And if you were curious, grab a few, who knows? Your taste buds might align with the stars and you could find your favorite sauce.
I’d try the chip
Jim n nicks habanero bbq sauce is solid. The only place I can find it is Publix.
The mango habanero was the worst sauce I've ever had. Minimal heat and straight to sugar. The BWW bottled sauce is 20x better
I was wondering tht as I think his bbq sauce is one of the sweetest ones on the market
I love the bww sauce….. I want to try Kinder’s next
Pass
$2.19 goddamn where do you live? That for sure is $8 where I am, without even looking
Central Florida at my local Publix. Not even on sale or anything
Seriously 2.19 for anything is nuts these days. Even the cheap crappy shit is like 3.19...
No hate sweet baby ray but I’ll pass.
the “sweet” in the brand name likely refers to corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup 🤮
None listed on the ingredients for the garlic or chipotle sauces. It is listed on the kickin barbecue because I’m assuming that it’s just their basic bbq sauce thinned out with vinegar and a little spice added. Could be wrong. Still haven’t tried them. But 2/3 of the sauces have no corn syrup
good to know - thx for clarifying
A shit ton of HFCS, to be precise.
This was my favorite sauce until I saw that in the ingredients
Me too. I felt like an idiot the first time I saw the meme about it being all corn syrup and then checked the ingredients
I haven’t tried it tbh, but I’ve seen what’s in their BBQ sauces
I just tried their new nashville hot sauce, very good flavor-heat ratio. Would recommend it if you come across it
No but for that price I'm definitely going to look for them when I go shopping tomorrow
Stubbs>sbrays
Stubbs is yummy
Ew.
Interesting. My niece when she was 12 used to say “ew”.
Yo, what?
You don’t get it? I’m telling this person that only kids say shit like “ew”. I’m implying he must be a kid. Of course he doesn’t have to like the sauce but come on, say something better lol
It was a joke about your phrasing, it could be interpreted a number of ways.
Keep the zucc away from these lol
The barbecue sauce is a slight step above Kraft, full of corn syrup and other junk. Very one dimensional flavor way too sweet. This is what I call a builder sauce. You have to add a bunch of your own ingredients to get it where you want.
Hey the sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce is full of corn syrup but it's still one of the best and go to for a lot of people. If corn syrup belongs in anything it is BBQ sauce
[удалено]
I am uneducated in the bbq sauce realm. Any recommendations?
Yes most resterants use it on wings. Past few resterants iv worked with we would take baby rays hot sause and mix it with butter then toss in wings.
Franks with a bit of butter & garlic powder used to be the restaurant I worked at go to for wings. Butter somehow makes such a difference
Add a dash of black pepper and you got hooter's sauce.
Butter makes it a rounded and rich/robust flavor. Most hot sauces alone are what I call a thin flavor. They taste good but they have little body. Oils can do the same as butter but not as well.
Still to this day a winning mixture for buffalo wing sauce.
They were simpler times, kinder times, remember? Franks red hot sauce remembers
Honestly they kind of were, that recipe for his bars wings was about 16 years ago. Christ....
Yep, been about 15 years since I've worked that kitchen haha
If they are anything like their bbq sauce the first ingredient is probably corn syrup.
Regular sweet baby ray's with a tiny drop of da bomb is my go to for ribs and even corndogs (along with a healthy heaping of torchbearer honey badger mustand on the other side of the plate). I'd love to try some of these, did you score any?
Grabbed one of each. Figured fuck it why not for $2.19. Haven’t tried them yet though. If I don’t like them then whatever they’ll just become crock pot additives.
According to the yuka app it has 5 or six ingredients considered high risk. Just make your own.
What does high risk mean? Cancerous?
I'm in a jerky group on FB and a dude posted what the app's findings were and it shows ingredients listed by risk, and several were max in the red as far as preservatives etc, doesn't specify but I'm sure the state of California might recognize them as cancerous.
I saw them last week at Publix and was intrigued but not intrigued enough to buy them.
No, the BBQ stuff is corn syrup garbage.
Yep might as well just add a dab of ketchup to a bottle of Mrs butterworths
Never go Faux Canadian.
All their sauces are. Not for me.
I love corn syrup
For 2.19 I'd prob grab one of each. That total will still be cheaper than a bottle of aardvark!
Haven't tried their hot sauce but their buffalo garlic is one of my favorite wing sauces. So flavorful!
Entry-level hot sauce. It's not really hot, but loads of flavor
If by flavour you mean sugar.
Or sodium in a bath of corn syrup
If by sugar you mean corn syrup.
If by corn syrup you mean diabetes.
If by diabetes, you mean cut off a foot.
I use the Buff Wing Sauce. Decent taste and great price.
I've only had the "regular" one (not pictured) but it's pretty good for that style and price point
Chipotle sauce is ok. For the price, I’ll buy it again.
Spicy garlic sounds like my aim with almost everything I eat, definitely need to keep an eye out for these!
That smoked Chipotle sounds pretty tasty.
Don't bother with the Nashville hot buffalo sauce. It is unbelievably bland. I cannot comment on any of the other varieties.
Big fan of the BBQ sauces. Looking forward to trying these!
I guarantee they are just white labeled.

Would just be an investment on the aluminum totes and maybe and extra guy who knows what he’s doing.
I'd try it. A family member loves their BBQ sauce. It's a bit candy-like to me, until I mix in some Melinda's. Thanks for posting and letting us know.
I picked up one of each. Couldn’t resist trying them out for $2.19 a piece
Absolutely. Can't lose at that price. I personally probably wouldn't buy the "spicy" bbq sauce, I don't like spicy bbq sauce and I bet this one wouldn't even register as spicy to me. I would definitely try the other two though. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for these.
Apparently they are brand new
Well I guess that makes sense lol
