With supply chains what they are, they dont always have the exact brand I had in mind. Thats no fault of theirs. They always have a great selection including local products, from mild to very hot with many flavor profiles.
My girlfriend and I had a great time sampling some tasty (and hot!) sauces and chatting with James. Super friendly. Great spot. Went home with several bottles that we can’t wait share with friends.Would HIGHLY recommend stopping in to check this place out.
Amazing shop, selection and the owner knows what he is talking about! Every flavor is tasted before its put on the shelf. So its verified delicious.P.S Also support him on tiktok!
Small shop, sometimes very friendly staff. Some of the staff wont acknowledge you existence, but the staff that is helpful, is so so so helpful. Every sauce Ive gotten from them is excellent. Fun store to take visitors.
Hello everyone !!!This place is amazing it is the emphasis of a specialty items and that in itself says a lot.My son turned me on too some YouTube videos of a show called The Hot ones so please look it up to have a better understanding of having fun in a challenge.This place is incredible the owner was courteous professional and he has a great passion in what he does. The fact of him being short of inventory its based on two things customers coming through the door buying it up and his vendors not being able to supply them fast enough during the pandemic. Most Texans understand this like trying to find bullets for the guns during these times.We bought some sauces one that was tolerable fruity yet with a stronger kick the normal made by Tabasco called the Scorpion sauce and another thats a mind blower. Overall this place its very clean the owner was very attentive and willing to inform you of anything you should know by asking questionsA great place to visit more than once looking forward for Houston to getting back to normal and seeing his store filled up to provide us a fun challenge.
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 stans blood which most definitely looked like blood in a veil but, Ill get it next time because well be coming here again. We met the owner and he is extremely helpful, friendly, and knew a lot about the heat index. Hes another reason for us coming back, thanks man👌🏻
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 its just with spoons, its 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 wasnt intended to hurt anyones feelings. Just suggestions for improvement. If all you care about is the score, here, have 5. I figured youd prefer the feedback than just a score.
Ordered several items online and when I received the shipment, one of the products was missing and the packing slip indicated that I was refunded for the item. I never received a refund and multiple attempts at reaching out to them both via email and Twitter have received basically no response.I really didnt want to leave a negative review, but their disinterest at helping me with my issue made me feel like I had to share this experience.
Do you know #OfficialSpiceKing
WANT HOOOOOT, GO HERE.....Chickens go somewhere else
I love iBurn! I have been going every week with my cousin, and we are so happy we ended up winning the MTN dew Hot Sauce! I will be back soon
Debated leaving this here since i love having this shop so close to me, and honestly with covid and the recent weather incident. But i thought about it and regardless of any issues a place of business has to provide a certain level of service to its customer base, especially when the owner makes a plea across facebook for sales in the above mentioned challenging times.I placed an online order for pick up, many items were out of stock etc, but i found four items. Put them in the cart and checked out. Email confirmation and everything. The confirmation said i would hear from someone, i waited several days and nothing so i emailed a note. Got a call yesterday saying my order was ready. I go by there today and the order not only wasnt ready but they only had two of the four items. Really? The pick sheet (pkg slip) only showed three items. i asked the clerk if they are going to credit the other two items and he said he would make a note. So now i have to check my bank statement to make sure i am charged accordingly. So much for doing a small business a favor. I didnt need anything i purchased, I love sauce and thought ok, ill grab a few things and help out. Nope...Edit - to owners responsewow, i get youre frustrated but your response was uncalled for. I have been a customer for over 5 years, i have 30+ bottles of sauce at any given time in my house. I would say 90 percent purchased at your shop. It is not out of line for a customer to review a business, regardless of the times. I was very honest and simply stated what happened. I noticed another review where someone had the same or near issue i did. Dont worry about giving me anything out of anger, charge the whole amount, as it will be my last order. I have gone out of my way to help small businesses, all i ask in return is the same level of customer service for my efforts.
Lovvvvvveeeeee this place! Try locally .ade bravado sauce from there! Its the best!
Amazing selection and very helpful finding the sauce you are looking for. Buy the six pack and save.
Super awesome spot. Adam was super friendly and knowledgeable from the get-go and really helped me bring my idea together. Would absolutely recommend that anyone give it a shot if theyre trying to get some new exposure to some awesome flavors. Six Stars
This company has people attack you on facebook if you give a bad review.Slanderous No, calling you out for having your friend contact me because of the poor service and the products not in store is just too much, next time you have them contact me let file a report
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.
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 Franks 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. Theyll ask a few questions and pin point a flavor youll love.
I was looking for the hottest chili sauce I can find. Adam was wonderful and he helped me pick out the best of the best! You can smell the chillies as soon as you enter the store. Great place!
Super cool place and owner. Got to hear great stories about the industry and my fav show hot ones. I will def be back. Also, a couple of really great unique sauces that I will use often that I have never heard of ..
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.
Great place, great product, great people. Friendly and helpful staff guide you to the sauce youre looking for. After trying, and not really enjoying, every sauce at the major chain grocery stores it was awesome to get to taste then purchase some excellent sauces.I look forward to my next visit.
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 its raining.
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.
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!
Great place to shop first time to try the new elevated store. Good prices friendly staff.
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. 😀
Friendly and helpful staff, yummy sauces, affordable prices
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 havent had before.
We love this place! Great small family run business. You dont 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!
IBurn is a must visit for anyone that enjoys hot sauce or other spicy products. Weve 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.
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 Id definitely recommend going. They also have unique bbq sauces and rubs.
If you like hot stuff... 🌶️🌶️🌶️ You must make a pilgrimage here. Will visit every time Im in Houston. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great place to get your heat fix, friendly customer service..!!HOT HOT HOT
Owner arguing with costumers is very unprofessional and rude. Will not be coming back. PS: When I told James I loved him, he hung up. I thought we had something going on, James.
Great selection. Everytime Ive come here there is a knowledgeable person to provide recommendations.
Excellent service. I was able to taste the hot sauce before I bought it. Really help me make a decision.
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.
An absolutely amazing selection of delicious products! Theres something there for everyone. I dont know of any other store in Houston with this kind of product selection. Knowledgeable staff, great prices.
Great place for all your spicy desires! They have every hot sauce you can think of. Sign the waiver and check out the spiciest!
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!
Awesome place with great service. Nice selection of sauces and spices. Theres even a section that lets you sample various products. Found some new favorites.
All the hot sauce as a lover of spicy things you can dream of. However, can be pricey if you want the good stuff
Friendly staff and lots of options for the spice. I come here for Cin chilli pack.
Great service, the guy there was friendly and fun. Theres 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 🤺
They have a tasting bar... Bring some chips and find some sauces to love!
Such a neat store every time we have company in town we have to make a trip so they can stock up.
Only my second visit and discovered even more great tastes! The smoked chili pepper, oregano and sea salt seasoning in a grinder, for only 6 bucks, is the taste Bomb for burgers!
Awesome store! Great service and prices. Will continue to shop here. It is well worth the commute from Katy!
Great selection of hot sauces, spices and rubs. Employees were very helpful in recommending sauces. They also sell locally made sauce brands.
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.
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.
Im still burning...love this place

I just bought 5 different hot sauces and James who is the owner introduced me those sauces. All so great. He is so passionate to ask what kind of texture do I like. I cant wait to get some more different sauces to try. I run late due to work. I called him and he willing to wait for me. So happy. I want to buy all of sauces here. This place is huge treasureof houston
Have good seasons for BBQ and Mexico foods
Clerk was very professional,in fact I would have bought some of everything in the store, but thank God I have a budget. Lol
BEST HOT SAUCE SPOT IN THIS WORLD AND THATS IT ....
Great hot sauce selection and very knowledgeable staff. They pointed us in the direction of some very unique and flavorful sauces
Great service and variety. Loved the adults only section
Great shop! As someone who doesnt 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!
Nice hidden gem for great hot sauces and a must visit! Staff has always been helpful, especially introducing me to new hot sauces, especially when I want to try something new!
Great local shop to get all your hot sauce needs fulfilled.
Found them on Google, went in today... Great service and products...
They are the one stop for all things spicy
Great selection of hot sauces, salsas, etc for the moderate to extreme spice lover.
If you like spicy food and sauces, youll love this shop full of knowledge and friendly staff
Butt burnin stuff. If they could make milk hot they would. I think the only thing that isnt hot there is maybe water. Chuck Norris is afraid to go here for real.
Helpful staff. Lots of spicy food and hot sauce
Love this place!
Great for sheets and giggles! Must visit . ..cool of at Woodrows!
Excellent place! Service is great, wide selection!
Great Staff, will definitely be a return customer again and again.
That is not true. Ive 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 Ive 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 shes the owners 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 shes the owners 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. Ive written over a hundred reviews ranging from one star to five stars. I am courteous and friendly to everyone even when theyre not courteous and friendly to me. Ive never braged about being incarcerated, I said they sell a hot sauce called Zapps in the Texas Department of Criminal Justices commissary and if you could get it. How do you know I didnt work there. Never ask you for a special order, you recommended it. Liar liar pants on fire.
If I-Burn doesnt have it you aint finding it in this city.
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.
Finally a place with a hot sauce hot enough for me
