What a wonderful shop! My family and I were there a few evenings ago. It is a family business, and the owners are passionate about their products. They will tell you everything you need to know and are super helpful. True aficionados about all thing hot and spicy! They are very dedicated to offering great products and great service. Great gift baskets, too! We will definitely be back.

Just found my new favorite spice store in Houston, TX on a recommendation. This place is amazing, the selection is wide and diverse the people are helpful and guide you towards making the best choices. Just be specific when you are talking to them and let them know your dislikes and let them guide you from there.

All the staff I've met was very kind, there was a person outside sanitizing the carts before being made available for use. There were helpful arrows on the floor made to direct the flow of foot traffic.

Ordered on 2/22/20 and never received a shipping confirmation. From their website there is only an email address for contacting them. Sent two separate emails and have never heard back. Found their number online and and called on 3/02/20. Come to find out they were out of stock and it would be a few days before they got any in stock. This was supposed to be a gift. Update your website, answer your emails or notice that you were out would be nice.

Found this neat little place by searching on Google. Visiting from out of town and decided to stop here and get some hot sauce for my Husband. The man that was working there was very knowledgable and recommended a few things. Hope my Husband likes them! If you love hot stuff and I'd definitely recommend going. They also have unique bbq sauces and rubs.

Tried their hot sauce at the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, but found great Bloody Mary Mixes at the store. Ghost Mary is crazy hot, but Original Bloody Mary (Habaneros) was the hit of brunch.

Very nice place for Chile heads, like myself. The employees were very kind and helpful. Only complaint is that they were out of a lot of the extra hot sauces and extracts. If you are looking for something specific, call and ask about it first. Will definitely be coming back!

That is not true. I've been shopping at this place for a long time and use to recommend it to everyone I know. There is a hot sauce that they have I like. The last few times I've went in they were sold out. Everyone that works there is very nice except for the lady who works behind the counter who always reminds me she's the owner's wife. She told me since they were always out would I like a whole case. I told her yes and ask her how much it would cost. She said $27. She said she would call me when it was in. I told her thank you. A gentleman called me about a week later and asked me if I would still like the case. I told him yes. He then told me that it would be $52. I told him the lady had told me 27$. He put me on hold and then came back and told me it would be $48. I asked him how much they sold each bottle for off the shelf. He said a $1.75. I then asked him how much would I be paying per bottle at $48. He said $3.20. I told him this was not the price that the lady had quoted me. And that why would I pay more per bottle then what they sell them for off the shelf. He said that I had to pay for shipping. But if they sell each bottle at the store for a $1.75 off the shelf, that must include shipping or they would be losing money for each bottle they sell, plus you usually get things cheaper when you buy in bulk not more expensive. He could not explain this to me just that the price had changed from the quote she gave me and it now included shipping. This makes no sense. I bought a lot of stuff from this store over the last few years. And never had any issues untill my dealings with the woman who works behind the counter who always reminds me she's the owner's wife. That is why they get one star. And I tell everyone about my experience there. Honesty is the best policy.
I see you have changed your reply again. I do not only write one star reviews. I've written over a hundred reviews ranging from one star to five stars. I am courteous and friendly to everyone even when they're not courteous and friendly to me. I've never braged about being incarcerated, I said they sell a hot sauce called Zapp's in the Texas Department of Criminal Justices commissary and if you could get it. How do you know I didn't work there. Never ask you for a special order, you recommended it. Liar liar pants on fire.

This place has a huge selection of sauces, spices, rubs, marinades, and more. This is the only place to check out if you want to expand you palate beyond the basic Tabasco and Frank's hot sauces you see at the grocery store. There is an area in the back to try out different sauces. The best part about the store, however, is the staff. Everyone that works there is very knowledgeable and can make great suggestions. They'll ask a few questions and pin point a flavor you'll love.

I ve never even been to this store. I rode past it yesterday and jotted down the name so I could stop by another day when I have time. Looked it up on google, read the reviews and see the owner arguing back and forth with a customer over the customers opinion. So turned off by the unprofessionalism I won t be going there at all.

I come here to get great hot sauces and seasonings. Highly disappointed that I drove across town and the store is closed. Store hours online say 12-4 on Sundays. Please edit your online listing so people do not make a wasted trip. Thanks.

We love this place! Great small family run business. You don't have to be a full on chilihead to enjoy this shop. Great BBQ rubs and sauces can be found here. A lot of locally owned and produced products are here!

Great and very helpful service with an exceptional selection of hot sauces. The owner explained he is selective with what he sells, which gave me comfort in trying sauces I haven't had before.

This place is so cool! The staff was very knowledgeable (and cute) and they had an amazing selection. Great rewards program and will go back. Parking was limited but the store was easy to see from the street. There's also a super awesome mural outside.

Great shop! As someone who doesn't eat excpetionally spicy food, I came in with my Brother In Law expecting to just accompany him. But their selection is wide and I found several things for myself and a few presents! Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable and the store is excellently layed out and much larger than I expected. It even has a hot sauce my sister tried in Belize and has been looking for since! I say all this as someone who never leaves reviews on anything. Check this place out of you or someone you love likes hot stuff!

Great service, the guy there was friendly and fun. There's s tryout table where you can try some of the hot sauces. If that is not enough for your, iBurn has a secret part of the store where their hottest products are. Beware of Chuck Norris when you enter

This is another favorite stop in Houston.

This is another favorite stop in Houston.

The store specializes in all things spicy from meat rubs to hot sauces to spicy candy. They have a wide variety of hot sauces ranging in heat from mild garlicky sauces to Carolina reaper and scorpion pepper blends, and also carries hard to find brands.

And if you need a suggestion on a sauce, the staff is very knowledgeable about their products and always make great recommendations.

An awesome place but they could do so much more. Not quite the extent of the variety I would like. There is a sample station but it's just with spoons, it's hard to taste hot sauces by themselves, they should offer crackers or something.

Addition to response: Thanks for the response. A 3 is an above average review. Just my comments, it wasn't intended to hurt anyone's feelings. Just suggestions for improvement. If all you care about is the score, here, have 5. I figured you'd prefer the feedback than just a score.

They have a great selection of sauces, salsas, and pepper jams and jellies at prices comparable to online shopping. Plus, they gave me a 10% discount, and this is a direct quote, "because it's raining".

My brother needed some heat/flavoring to add to foods because of an illness so I found this just looking for best hot sauce shops in Houston. Let me just say, it holds up to its standards for one of the best. They have a wide variety of different rubs, sauces, extracts, and candies beyond belief. I wanted to get stan's blood which most definitely looked like blood in a veil but, I'll get it next time because we'll be coming here again. We met the owner and he is extremely helpful, friendly, and knew a lot about the heat index. He's another reason for us coming back, thanks man

I loved shopping here. They had so many different kinds of hot sauces and hog candy and much more. One thing they do very well there is letting you try what you want to buy. They have a huge table with different sauces. All of which you can try.i ended up buying 4 things and signing up for a membership when I just wanted to look around because of all the amazing flavors they have in there store. I love this store and I will for sure be back soon.

Employee was extremely knowledgeable about various sauces and their content. Also the Chuck Norris poster in the adult section was badass. Definitely a good place for some hot sauces at great prices.

This little place has everything hit you could possibly want! Not only do they sell spicy stuff, but they also sell gourmet seasonings, drinks, and novelty candies. Oh yeah, and plenty of bacon flavored and inspired products! Gift cards make it a great gift as well. Check 'em out!

IBurn is a must visit for anyone that enjoys hot sauce or other spicy products. We've been shopping here for around 3 years, we have never walked out emptied handed. The staff is great and if they do not have the specific thing we are looking for they always recommend something that is just as good.
