  • Tasty, accessible, and fun hot sauce! I first found this brand when living in Austin, but now their distribution is more far reaching that I get to enjoy it in Florida. What I enjoy most are the variety packs, easy to use spout, and the range of heat that is good for me who likes more mild flavors and my husband who prefers very, very hot options. A slight downside I find is that the sizes are pretty compact and small, so the sauce ends up being used fairly quickly. Can't wait to see how this brand evolves and expands, but would be happy if they stayed in the hot sauce space too!

  • Very good! I think it’s a little pricy tho. Good taste if you love hot sauce

  • As a Texas native I love anything Texas made and especially if it is hot sauce. These are all great but the Serrano is by far my favorite. A little bit goes a long way but I love the punch it packs. The mini travel size bottles are great for packing on camping trips or international flights.

  • Yellow bird is fantastic. It’s not crazy spicy and you can still taste the flavors instead of just pain. Whether a pure heatonist or someone just looking to add some flavor, there is a sauce for you. Also really like the packaging.

  • Recently tired the Serrano hot sauce at a resturant recently — immediately went to the store to buy some for my kitchen! It's now a meal staple in our house.

  • This is my favorite hot sauce. I love it so much that I travel with it. I am an unpaid walking advertisement for it. I recommend it to family, friends and strangers alike.

  • Yellowbird has become one of my favorite hot sauce brands out there and one that I always recommend to my friends. I always have the Sriracha, Habanero, and Serrano sauces in my fridge, and I use them with all sorts of foods. It has such good flavor, the perfect spice level (not overly spicy) and I love the new branding as well, which never hurts.

  • I tried the sriracha and it’s good, but not exactly what I was looking for! In my personal opinion I found it to be more mild and a bit more tangy/sweet than the popular brand for sriracha. I would be curious to try the rest of their products as I haven’t seen those where I shop yet! I like that the sauces are organic.

  • I tried the habanero and let me tell you. This hot sauce is FIRE. It’s very spicy…spicy for someone who eats spicy foods everyday and puts hot sauce on literally everything. I put a few drops bc it’s so spicy. And flavorful! It was a random grab, and I’m so glad I picked it!

  • 8 out of 8 on the yellowbird sauces I've tried. Here they are ranked, 1. Hitch hiker - my favorite. very, very spicy. I eat it every day on a hardboiled egg. 2. Jalapeno - great on Mexican, Mediterranean. It's a little sweet, it's not too spicy. Good on egg sandwiches too. 3. Ghost pepper - used to be my #1. Very smokey, pretty spicey. Great on Indian (squash koftas) and Thai spicy basil udon. 4. Sriracha - Better than the OG. Great on most Thai, Vietnamese takeout. 5. Habanero - was the first Yellowbird I tried. I travel with the minis. Excellent product. A classic hot sauce. 6. Serrano - I like it , probably the sauce I use the least. But it's a good alternative to green Tabasco. 7. Spicy Plum - pretty good, haven't figured out my favorite food to use this on yet. 8. Wing sauce - good on impossible nuggz. All in all, Yellowbird hot sauces rule the world in my house. My son calls them pica picante and always asks for a pin size droplet.

  • I love every variety of yellow bird hot sauce I’ve tried but my favorite is the serano. My household goes through about one bottle every month. It just works with all savory foods.

    We make a gallon size for a reason. ;) Thanks for saucing up your life with us, Sierra!

  • Every damn SKU is so tasty! The siracha ones are to die for, and honestly I've switched my siracha to Yellowbirds. Highly recommend trying!

    Thanks for sharing your great taste, Nate! If you're looking for a bigger spicy fix, we make a 19.6 oz bottle of every classic and organic flavor - and our classics come in gallons, too, if you really want to flex. ;) Cap-wise, stay tuned in 2023! Spice on!

  • I am a sirchaca lover and really enjoy this brand! The packaging is cute and I enjoy the bottle function. I also looove the taste can't wait to try out the other flavors once I run out of mine

  • Absolutely kicking butt! Love the perfect balance of flavors and heat. Very affordable as well.

  • Yellowbird has a great line of different hot sauces in a variety of heat-packed flavors. These aren't for the faint of heart, they pack a kick! Especially the habanero. A little goes a long way, and adds a really nice depth of flavor and heat to most dishes.

  • Enjoyed the habanero at a restaurant recently — super yum and spicy enough without overshadowing my meal. Excited to buy some for my kitchen!

  • These are all really good! My only complaint is that I cannot always find them locally.

  • These sauces are delicious and their branding is now cute AF. Love it.

  • one of my fave hot sauces, the sriracha is comparable to actual sriracha (which is great because there appears to be a shortage of that right now)
