This stuff is so good. I have to control myself not putting it on everything. Or just trying a little straight out of the bottle.

For 50 years, Show-Me® Bar-B-Q Sauce has made authentic, traditional sauces and seasonings that stay true to barbecue roots. The original bbq sauce recipe was created decades ago in a Missouri kitchen by friend and neighbor Harry Berrier. And while the Fuhlage family now leads the company, the process and the values remain the same. Our barbecue sauces are gluten-free and made with no preservatives, no fillers and no high fructose corn syrup. Their natural acidity (a pH below 4) keeps them shelf-stable. With just a few simple ingredients, every bottle is mixed with care, packed with flavor, and never watered down.
Reviews from Google
I have always loved this sauce... then the last two bottles have been a disappointment. It almost has a congealed consistency and hard to shake out. The taste is more vinegar than usual. I wouldn't think you have changed the recipe but I am not the only consumer that has noted the change. Please change it back or fix the issue because there has never been as better sauce until recently. I will purchase one more and.. well if it's the same I will have to say goodbye. 😥

We're so sorry to hear that the last few bottles haven't been satisfactory. We never want you to feel unsatisfied with your purchase. We are more than happy to send you two new bottles free of charge. If you email us with your address at orders@showmebbqsauce.com, we'd be more than happy to send those.
I ate Show Me as a kid, I loved it as a teen, introduced so many to it in college, and how I use it as a staple in just about every cook I do. This should be the first BBQ sauce we take to the Moon and Mars.

We like the sound of that! The first barbecue sauce we take to the moon. Who do we need to talk to to make this happen?
So good I first enjoyed this sauce when I traveled to Columbia MO from St Louis MO. My grandmother loved it and I would pick up many bottles for her over 13 yrs staring in 1975. So Delicious, I'm not a paid spokesman, LOL

That's incredible, thank you so much for sharing. I feel like not a lot of people from St. Louis know about our sauce so it's great to hear that the word is spread. We're thankful for your grandmother's long time loyalty, and that she shared it with you.
This is by far the best sauce out there and it’s LOCAL.

Thank you so much! We really feel like we try to make it the best experience for anyone who uses our products. ❤️
My grandpa was a salesman and this was one of the many finds he brought back from his travels. My mom grew up with it, and for her, no other sauce would do. She used to call up the owner on the phone and order it directly from him. We always kept a gallon of the stuff on hand when I was a kid and we’d put that stuff on everything. Pulled pork, steak, veggies. As a small child one of my favorite “kid recipes” was Show Me sauce on saltines. To me, Show Me sauce tastes like summertime fun and being a kid but even without my nostalgia glasses, like when I feed it to other people, they also agree it’s a fantastic sauce. It’s one of my all time favorites. I cannot recommend it enough.

I bought your Bar-B-Que sauce frequently, years ago before there was an internet. I lost your information but never forgot how good your sauce was. I remembered you the other day when a friend was bragging about how good his home-made sauce was. I remembered Show-Me and thought I'd see if you now had a website. Thanks you for that! I can't wait for my order to arrive!!

My family has been exclusively using Show-Me BBQ sauce for decades, since my grandfather found it on a road trip (used to write by mail to order). It’s 110% the best BBQ sauce for barbecuing (favorites: ribs, pulled pork/tenderloin & chicken wings). We’ve shared it with friends, family and honestly anyone and everyone who comes over.

My family, my friends, and myself have enjoyed Show Me BBQ Sauce for close to 30 years. I particularly like it on scrambled eggs. A bottle of show me is ideal as a housewarming gift or even a Christmas gift and I have given ot as regularly over the years. It is always well received...

I discovered Show-Me BBQ Sauce at the 2022 Missouri State Fair. I've been a user of their sauce since then. When I introduce it to folks at church, I describe the taste as the offspring of Sweet Baby Rays and Oklahoma Joe's. Their various spices are good, too.

Found this bbq sauce when I lived in Missouri. I have to say "this is the best bbq sauce on the market!" The smoky flavor adds just the right amount of taste and is perfect for any meats. I have to order online since they don't sell it here in the south but they get the product right out. I mix the original and a touch of heat for a perfect sauce that everyone just loves. Keep up the great work Show-Me.

Absolutely love this unique sauce which I've never had similar to. My father brought some home years ago - a rare thing for hi since folks were always showing him foods to sample. This got his attention. When it became hard to find I searched for it, a rare thing for me. It's versatile, great for chicken, pork, or beef. I can't wait to try the new varieties. It's a staple sauce in this household!

I have been purchasing, show me barbecue sauce for over 25 years. It’s amazing best you’ve ever had the original barbecue sauce is my favorite but they have one with some jalapeño zap flavor. It’s delicious too. When I do my ribs it’s my go to and add a little bit of horseradish into the mix You’ll have a party in your mouth Off the record, the father, I’m sure he has passed, he had faith in people, you would call and order barbecue sauce as many as you want, and he wouldn’t let you pay until you get the product. He said it’s the honor system. He was a chemist And a scientist And as I recollect, he was he was a veterinarian for horses and that is how he developed such an amazing barbecue sauce. I haven’t tried the seasonings yet. They’re kind of new to me. Now they have a website I think the sons have taken it over, into the next century lol!

Vivienne, thank you so much for the awesome review. We're so thankful for your longtime support of our sauce! You definitely have to try some of the seasonings — especially the Heat if you like some spice. We, the Fuhlage family, were Harry's neighbors, and we took over the company after Lina passed. We had the great pleasure of working with her and Harry for awhile before they both passed. Enrique has been with the company for 20 years. You should check out the full story here: https://www.showmebbqsauce.com/pages/show-me-history. Thank you so much again for your support. It means the world to our family.
We've been buying Show-Me BBQ sauce for over 45 years. When we moved to TN, we would return to Culumbia, MO every Summer and every Christmas and buy out a shelf at whichever grocery store still had some. The clerks would always laugh at us. We started giving it as gifts in TN and now have many friends hooked on it. We also had several BBQ events at our house with blind taste tests using several sauces from TN and MO. Show-Me won hands down every time! It's the best! Our kids will tell you EVERYTHING tastes better with Show-Me on it.

Thank you so much for your support. It's because of good people like you we can continue to do what we love.
My parents were church friends with the Berriers from the 70s on and thought a lot of them. My Mom would gift me a gallon of Show-Me sauce every Christmas as we were living in Texas. I could make it last almost until the next year. It always kept well. After we moved back to Missouri I was able to stay in stock with visits to Columbia. Now I buy from the Show-Me website for myself and for Christmas gifts for family. But the best thing of all is that it still tastes just as good as always. Pat on the back to Enrique, Tanner, and their staff for keeping the ball rolling.
