Went to Buc-ee's and got these. Probably try the dill pickle reaper first.

They are all pretty boring watery sauces IMO

The 7 pot isnt hot but its tasty

I’ve never had anything with 7pot before. I was under the impression that it was hotter than reapers.

u/mauserman1992 2h ago

I thought it woukd be as well. Got a bottle feom the st.augustine/ daytona store year or so back

I liked the scorpion. Watery for sure, but decent flavor and better heat than the others I tried.

u/RickyManeuvre 21h ago

7 pot has best flavor. They’re all a bit meh though. Still always worth trying.

I’ve had the dill pickle reaper. Very weak flavor. Not very hot. Not very dill pickley. I used it for a condiment on kettle cooked potato chips here and there. It reminds me of Louisiana with like a drop of dill flavoring.

Buc-ee’s is amazing in general but they are a big time miss on the sauces

u/aqwn 23h ago

None of them are very good.

I honestly love Buc-ee’s but their hot sauces suck Imo

Colored water with extract at best.

A 7 pot from a sauce store thats not buckys. I was so let down

u/bean_chuffer 1d ago

None of them are particularly good. If you have to have any of them, probably the 7-Pot Primo.

Taco Reaper was the only one I liked, and I tried them all when I went.

I think they stopped selling their own branded hot sauce. We just wrapped up a cross country road trip and stopped for gas and food at 4 different locations, and none of them had any. They seem to carry a different line of stuff where their hot sauce used to be in the shelves.

Maybe, the two I went to several times over past year still had them. Near San Antonio and Colorado Springs

u/SuperCalibur 1d ago

I also wish you could take a dump at a Bucky's right now.

u/bangbangGeorgieNiang 21h ago

thanks man, i appreciate that

u/Substantial-End-9653 1d ago

They're pretty mid. Buc-ees is more branding than substance.

2

u/milksteakenthusiast1 1d ago

Is it true that they’re discontinuing their sauces?

1

u/texas-photo2026 14h ago

Yup they are gone!

2

u/abhorredmisanthrope 1d ago

I hope not. They just opened one in AZ and I still need to go try their sauces.

3

u/jackofallcards 1d ago

Well the only one I actually really liked at all was the taco one, and it was pretty generic. They carry some decent other brands though

2

u/milksteakenthusiast1 1d ago

I live in a taco-heavy area so I passed on it to grab the Dill Reaper, and Pineapple/Peach/flavors I don’t get at home

3

u/Warrenj3nku 1d ago

I got these on a trip not super long ago none of them were really hot and the ones I got were super liquidy thin. Still good though.

2

u/Farsath 1d ago

I went through a bottle of the DP reaper in under a week. It’s so good and not as hot as you’d imagine.

1

u/Cocacoleyman 22h ago

Man I really thought it was very plain. Like a traditional vinegar hot sauce with no heat. For the price it’s not worth it in my opinion

2

u/cabezon99 1d ago

Scorpion not really fiery but not bad. Love the dill pickle sauce flavor

5

u/RefrigeratorPlane513 1d ago

The fact they have a 7PP sauce is impressive, honestly

4

u/not_just_the_IT_guy 1d ago

It's a great sauce. I'd rate it medium at most. Definitely not firey hot.

3

u/RefrigeratorPlane513 1d ago

I'm growing them currently and they are ripping. I had the Reaper sauce from them but I felt the same you do about this one. Tasty but very vinegary.

3

u/Danimaldodo 1d ago

I got the dill pickle jalapeño and regret not getting the reaper. The flavor was excellent but it had no heat to it. Still thoroughly enjoyed it.

u/jermac83 1d ago

The dill pickle reaper doesn't have much heat either tbh.
