iBurn

Super knowledgeable, reasonable pricing. The guy on staff gave me great recommendations.

The best spot in town for the hot sauce junkie. Very kind owner who can tell you everything you need to know about HEAT!
Great place to go grab some local flavors to give as gifts to out-​of-​towners!

Ive been passing this place for about 3 year going too and from work in the medical. If you are not paying attention, you may pass it right up. Its located in between Little Woodrow’s and Black-​Eyed Peas. Its a small little store front. I would always say to myself, «I’m gonna stop there one day.» That day finally arrived about a week ago.
When I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly hello and a «Welcome to iBurn!». The gentleman asked me have I been here before. I answered no, and proceeded to tell him about me passing by all these years. The then began to give me a brief history about the family owned business. He also showed me the color coded «burn» chart as to how everything was labeled. He also showed me their «Adults Only» little room with sauces that I’m sure will burn you a «hole»…pun intended. I didn’t even want to go near that area! Hahaha
I came in looking for a good bbq and hot sauce for some oven fried wings. Im not a big fan of hot food, others in my family are. So, I really didn’t care too much on the «hot sauce» choice. But, I did want a good bbq sauce that I could enjoy. There were SO many sauces, rubs, marinades etc to choose from, from all over the states. I asked the gentleman what he recommend I try. He had a few choices of his own. I was so indecisive on what to pick… It seemed like everything he showed me, I wanted to buy it.
After walking back and forth on to each shelf, I finally made my selection. I picked Craig’s bbq sauce and Rocky’s Original hot sauce.
The bbq sauce was on point! I was informed that this is the sauce they use during the bbq competitions and cook-​offs in Texas. It sure did taste like an award winning sauce too. No the hot sauce on the other hand was HOT, to me. The after burn was the kicker. It lasted a nice while. It still had a nice flavor, besides the heat. That sauce was coded as «mean» which wasn’t even the hottest sauce there. I could only imagine the burn with a «hotter» sauce.
I will definitely be back. Their speciality is hot sauce, but they have many other sauces to choose from. They have great prices and even have a clearance rack!

One of a kind collection of hot sauces, something for everyone here. Hoping they have enough volume to stay open. Guy helping us was knowledgeable as well as he has tried all the hot sauces there

I love this place please try Otis Tucker’s grill dust it is absolutely great on everything no kidding

Had the pleasure of meeting Amy today at iBurn… such a phenomenal store with a ton of product… great varieties… one of the only places I’ve ever seen with such a large selection of hard to find spices/​sauces such as the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and Trinidad Scorpion… Amy has an immense amount of knowledge and really spent time helping me find what I needed… Excellent customer service, very reasonable prices, and great passion… I’ll be coming back for sure!

Helppppp!!! This place lives up its name. They have the largest variety of hot sauces and salsa I have ever seen in one place.
And yes some of them do set you on fire.
The owners are very helpful and give suggestions to help you choose what you want.
I graduated from Habanero to Ghost Pepper to Scorpion. Now reaper is next when I get brave enough to try it.

I learned about iBurn because my boyfriend loves spicy food and they have the best spicy food selection in Houston! Honestly, the selection is massive — from sauces, mustards, mayonnaises, jams, salsas, chips, candies, relishes, Bloody Mary mixes, peanut butter (!), marinara sauce, popcorn, ETC. — they seem to have everything. Even an «adults only» section for the crazy-​hot stuff.
The employees are very friendly and helpful. My only small complaint is that they don’t have any spicy cheeses (at least not any time that I’ve been in). If they had that, I would be very happy, but there’s really no reason to complain because they have everything else.
If you like spicy food, I’m going to say you pretty much MUST visit iBurn.

This place is just awesome! They have everything for any type of hot sauce lover. If you are a chili head, iBurn is like toys r us for you. If you just like a kick they have everything you might need, great salsa’s and other food items to make your next party memorable. The staff if very knowledgable and can help assist you find something new or recommend something that fits your heat level. As a Chef I especially like how with iBurn, I can expand and specialize my work and home menus. Keep it spicy!

iBurn is the BEST HOT SAUCE STORE in the Nation! I’ve been to tons of different stores, but none of them have the selection that iBurn does. They have everything from the main stream brands to independent labels that are harder to find. The customer service is excellent and the knowledgable staff are incredible. If you’re looking for that perfect hot sauce check them out!

First time here and def not my last! Great shop!!! All things salsa and hot sauce. They even sell chips! The woman who helped me is extremely knowledgeable. I got educated! I really could have bought more there. I ended up just getting some local/​no sugar/​medium salsa called Salinas Salsa «That-​Good-​Hot.» I highly recommend checking out this salsa, although it is mighty hot. I will def be back to iBurn. It is right next door to a gun shop, between a Little Woodrow’s and a bicycle shop (also cool). iBurn also has an «adults only» section of the store set up kind of like an adult book store (I imagine, cuz I’ve never been to one, right?). The salsa in the Adult section is so hot it requires a waiver. Damn.

I’m always pleased when I stop by iBurn. They have an excellent selection, decent prices and very friendly staff who know what they are talking about.
They have replaced specs as my go-​to for hot sauce.

So happy iBurn opened up in Houston. They have such a wide selection of spicy sauces, salsas, BBQ sauces, chips, spices, mustards, ketchups, jams, etc. I even spotted spiced fudge, peanut butter, and popcorn. Additionally, the owner is extremely knowledgable and helpful. He was able to suggest a few items that were exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be returning time and time again. Note: if you don’t live nearby, you can order products from their website.

Get you some heat all in one place !!

We first found out about iBurn at this years Hot Sauce Festival. Their booth had samples of BBQ sauce with chunks of bacon. Sold on it immediately on idea alone, then the taste just confirmed the awesomeness that was already known. Sadly, they were sold out already but let us know that they would be getting more in the store.
We tried several times to get to the store, conveniently located not that far from places we regularly go. For some reason we could never remember that they are closed on Sundays. We always seemed to be in the area on Sundays, hence the multiple attempts for hot sauce in vain.
We were hoping to resupply certain items that we already ran through from the Hot Sauce Festival. They didn’t have exactly what we were looking for, but the owner was familiar with them and made recommendations for similar items to try.
They have, of course, hot sauces, salsa, seasonings, BBQ sauce and rubs, gift baskets, jams, pickled garlics, interestingly rim salt and don’t forget spicy cookies and lollipops.
We left with Mina Harissa’s Mild Traditional Moroccan Red Pepper Sauce (8.50), Cajohn’s Quetzalcoatl Ghost Chili Sauce (7.50), Fat Cat’s Cat in Heat (6.00) and of course the much needed Pigchaser’s BBQ Sauce with Real Bacon (6.00).
Very happy that a hot sauce store finally opened in Houston. We always thought this was supremely lacking. Be sure to check it out!

This place ROCKS. Love the selection of BBQ sauces and Rubs. Plus the owner is very passionate about his craft. If you want a great novelty item or just pain. Lol. Look no further.

Hot Sauces and Mustard’s have a special place in my refrigerator, right next to the cured meat and craft beer. I happen to be leaving my dentist appointment heading East on Bellaire when I saw great looking mural with a bunch of peppers and that’s when I noticed the iBurn store front. I was greeted immediately as I walked in. We talked about hot sauceand he asked what I was looking for today. I asked him what is currently his favorite. He took me over to Bigfat’s 808 with the Naga Jolokia, or ghost pepper. He said it’s made with Ghost Pepper Mash so it sticks to what ever you put it on, and it’s not just spicy, it has a great flavor. He then took me to Rocky’s Original Hot Sauce, and I picked out Iguana Deuces Vicious Jalapeño. I ended up coming home with 3 bottles of sauce. iBurn has a nice selection of hot sauces and great customer service. I will be back for more, I can see my self sitting on the Bigfats 808 for a while. Tasty but definitely spicy.
I also notices they had a nice selection of BBQ sauces along with some dry rubs and pickled vegetables. I’m a fan and will most certainly be back.
