Going to be near one in Myrtle Beach SC in a couple of weeks, thought about checking it out. Any recommendations? Ive been stuck on the yellow bird habanero, Valentina, and heartbeat camp sauce / pineapple habanero. Not a fan of melt your face hot.

There was one in my nearby mall, I only had one trip before it went away. It seemed pricey, but the three sauces I got were good. I don’t recall exactly which ones I got, I remember one was a garlic sauce and another I think had apple in it.
Wing Master Garlic Parmesan Buffalo Sauce
Chocolate habanero sauce from there is awesome! Seriously magical in some steak kabobs.
It’s pricy for sure, but they let you sample their own sauces and you’ll find some amazing ones. Ghost in the darkness and la diabless are 2 of my favorites. Plus the wing master sauces are the best wing sauces I’ve ever used and I go through 2-3 bottles a month. Smoke House mixed with reaper is just 🤤
Good sauces, but I won’t buy them anymore because of the price. There’s other sauces that are just as good for way less.
Overpriced for what they are. Some aren’t bad tasting, though.
My favorite sauce they carry is the sweet Chipotle hot sauce. It just has a really good flavor. You can sample pretty much everything in the store.
I’ve gone once and really enjoyed just tasting a bunch of sauces. But also, very expensive. Wouldn’t go again I don’t think.’
Even though it’s not spicy, their Blackberry BBQ is pretty good. They also had a Reaper Buffalo Wing sauce that was delicious.
Pineapple Serrano is amazing…$15 though
They have a few good sauces but price wise there are so many better options.
I really like their garlic sauces and how you can choose how spicy you want it. I don’t think anything else really sticks out me especially with the price.
Touristy and expensive, like previously commented. The sampling is a good time. But hey, if you’re being a tourist, why not buy a bottle of something you like to remember the trip with?
Skip it. They stole their sauce recipes from reputable saucemakers across the nation, watered them down, and sell them at a price hike.
It’s kind of OK for sampling, but I haven’t been back since my first visit.
Edit: You can down vote, but it doesn’t make what I said any less true. Look into it.
Over priced touristy trap but there are some decent sauces. The mega garlic buffalo is GREAT imo. Also they sell nasal napalm which is the only jarred horseradish that gets me going anymore
I’ve purchased sauces from them before when they were in the Mall of America. Good stuff. The strained brain was my favorite.
Tried the smallest amount of sauce that could drop out of a bottle of Flatline at the store in Boston, was hot immediately and made my face very aware along with my eyes starting to sweat and a decent amount of pressure in my ears. After about 2 minutes, it felt like I had just been kicked in the sternum. That lasted for probably 15 minutes or so. Definitely won’t be doing that ever again lol
They sell the Panola transparent hot sauce… (Not the stupid Frostbite one with the blue bottle). I really love it on pizza, fries, regular potato chips.. basically anywhere you’d want acidity and heat. It’s the only place I’ve seen it! First time I tried it was about 20 years ago at a food trade show and I’ve searched for it ever since. Only found it again in 2019 at a pepper palace while on vacation.
I love their deep fried, spicy garlic cloves.
I think it’s a really fun store to go to.
Pricey but I LOVE their scorpian sauce
Not cheap, but def worth it.
Black Rose is my daily, good garlicky flavor.
It’s all marketing; cheesy, lowbrow labels that grab the attention of white trash boomers and GenX who think putting “ass” or “death” or other mild expletives on the label is hilarious. Low quality product. The company is based in my hometown where I spent my entire life up until college, and I can tell you something fishy is going on at that company.
They’ll let you sample basically anything, so you should be able to find something you like and there’s no risk. I have a friend who manages one, so I like the place by association.
Been to the one in New Orleans a couple times. Touristy but you can try anything and the sauces are good
It’s a tourist trap chain out of Wisconsin – the world leader in spicy food /s.
They mostly make expensive knockoffs of others sauces and have no market presence outside their own stores and don’t carry any sauces made by others.
There’s a lot of junk in there. Most of it has extract so it’s not going to be true pepper strength. Read the ingredients to sus out the real ones and the ones with habanero with capsaicin oleoresorin.
But there’s also some tasty, deadly, balanced, stuff in there that’s worth grabbing. The chocolate scorpion(?) sauce is delicious and has heat.
There’s a blue labeled sauce that is garlic and tomato heavy that I stock up on whenever I go. It has so much flavor but your grandma could eat the whole bottle. It’s shaped like the Heinz Malt Vinegar bottle.
I get my extract from there that I use in chili and salsa when I want the flavor of other peppers but either can’t get a hold of a reaper/ghost or was too lazy to grab one and want the spice.
I really like Volcanic Peppers but I’ve only bought powders and flakes from them. Good stuff.
Looks like what it “apparently ” is
I got a bottle of the Mr. Pain overall it’s pretty warm but the flavor I can’t get around now. This is my personal opinion. I just thought it could be better and I paid way too much. There’s so many better options at different places again this is imo.
Their prices are comical, but it’s easy to part a gool of his money.
Very pricey, but they have enough selection that you will find a few things that will be worth the price for your taste. Being able to sample all of the sauces makes it very worth it imo, since you will not being wasting $$$ on a sauce you didn’t end up enjoying.
