Phil Ford, a real estate appraiser and father of four in Raleigh, North Carolina, developed his sauce around 1987 while trying to copy his mother's recipe for a western North Carolina-style barbecue sauce.

The resulting all natural, fat-free, fragrant blend of ingredients include: tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, molasses, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, onions, garlic, peppers, natural hickory smoke, natural spices and salt.

This one gets [...] props for a magical combination of quality ingredients, simple packaging, clever name, and well balanced flavor. The only thing I found slightly lacking (a stretch) was that the consistency was a bit on the thin side.

The smell is wonderful - a sweet yet complex aroma with hints of apple, mustard, lemon, onions, and the "smokiness" that all barbecue sauces attempt. I could see putting this on almost anything - I think I want to try this on swordfish next, then a Bone Suckin Burger after that.

The first time I tried this stuff was a long time ago, during my college days, before I knew much about BBQ and grilling... and I had slathered the stuff on before the meat was ready for a barbecue bath. The result was a less-than-tasty, blackened mess. Bad experience for a bad griller - I blame it on the beer I was drinking at the time.

But my most recent, and sober, experience was a meal of half rack of ribs and a few chicken wings all done the right way, when the meat is at about the 75th percentile of BBQ cookage. This way, the sweets didn't completely die and I was able to take in one of the best natural- ingredient sauces on the market...

You know I love my Bullseye and traditional Kansas City style BBQ sauces (even though some may contain the dreaded HFCS), yet this one went all natural and retained a quality flavor - a deed well worth 5 out of 5. Sometimes that's hard to do - I compare it to household cleaners... sometimes you don't trust those all natural, "green" cleaning products because you assume they aren't going to be as strong. And sometimes you don't trust a BBQ sauce when they decide to limit ingredients to things that are not manufactured and/or processed. Not the case here.

After my 100% objective tasting and review, I found other high ratings across the board:

I'd recently asked some online friends in a food forum what they thought the best bottled barbecue sauce is. Four out of five of them mentioned
"Bone Suckin". I was NOT disappointed! It is not a thick gloppy sauce clogged up with corn syrup as most of the supermarket brands (Hunts, Kraft, etc) are. The flavor is complex. It is not too sweet, not vinegary, and with just a modicum of spice heat to keep it interesting, and so it tastes like barbecue. I've even used it in kitchen cooking (as opposed to grilling) and people commented on the great taste.
I bought it from Amazon, but Whole Foods also carries it.

Been using this product for years. The shipping charge was outrageous; over 50% of the cost of a case of the jars. WILL NOT use this source again due to the shipping and handeling costs.

My wife bought this stuff when she was down in New Orleans recently and brought it home for my birthday dinner this last weekend. Now I rate this sauce "pretty good", but she and our family were mucho impressed. Nice and tangy without being too spicy. I'd recommend it. I'll order some more when I've got an order over $25 so I can save on the shipping.

This is by far the best store bought BBQ sauce I've ever had. I am fortunate that they sell this in the stores near me. Whenever it's on sale, I always stock up on several jars. I've used this on both baby back ribs and on chicken on the grill and it's unbelievably good. I've also used it in the slow cooker with country style ribs. Just throw it in the slow cooker with the ribs and a chopped up onion and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours. When they're done, grill them on each side for a few minutes and you get fabulous fall of the bone ribs.

I've had dozens of jarred and bottled sauces and none have come even close to Bone Suckin' Sauce. Simply the best.

This is THE SAUCE for the "gluten-free" boy in our family! He loves it so much!!!

I know - the caption is too easy. I was very excited when I read all it's glowing reviews, as I really like BBQ sauce, but they let me down. I liked the idea that there was no HFCS in it, so I tried it.

It is very thin, and it tastes like watered down, flavored ketchup. It is wimpy, and has no umph. (I notice they now make a thicker version.) I mix the Original with some Bullseye BBQ sauce to make it palatable, otherwise I would throw it away. I bought 2 bottles at once based on the reviews, so I'll be giving my other bottle to a frenenmy.

The Bullseye also has no HFCS, and the only ingredient I'm not thrilled with is the modified food starch, but I do love the taste!

I am a very picky health concious guy who is an athlete, I try to pick organic foods, also I drink my daily green tea and matcha tea, all organic ofcourse, so when it comes to BBQ its easy to become unhealthy with the high fat and high sodium usually accompanied with preservatives, but there are healthy ways to BBQ and this sauce is a great supplement! It is the most healthy sauce and the flavor is phenomenal, one of my favorites bbq sauce of all time is "Stubbs" texas bbq sauce which is another all time great, but I would say BSS is slightly better, I give it A+++, and Stubbs original bbq sauce I rate A+.

I am on a GFCF diet and Blood Type O diet so I am very limited on what I can eat. I first found Bone Suckin' Sauce at the Fresh Market after months of searching for a natural barbeque sauce that tasted good. I figured I would give it a try and was pleasently surprised...it's delicious! Now, every week I cook grass-fed ground beef/turkey bacon/onions and mix a little sauce in. I could eat this dish every day!

This is not your run of the mill BBQ sauce, it is delicious. Has the right balance of sweet and spicy. Is also available in a thicker style, as well as a Yaki (Teriyaki).
