This little gift shop is packed with all kinds of Tabasco things! When we went in on a Friday afternoon it was busy and there was a line at the register. Not a lot of employees but everything was organized. We got the hottest hot sauce and can’t wait to try it at home.

The food was amazing. My husband had the boudin and pepper jelly which he loved. The portion are decent. I like the cafeteria style service line because it keeps things moving. I only wish they had pictures of the food.

This place is like Heaven, but super flaming hot… Wait a second… As a Tabasco lover, I love coming to this shop. They’ve got everything you would ever need stamped with the Tabasco logo. The best thing about this place is the fact that you can sample every single thing that Tabasco sells. That includes ice creams. Yes, more than one type of Tabasco flavored ice cream. They offer pretzels so you can help yourself to all the different flavors. Your mouth will be zinging as you go through the store. They always have some sort of sale going on, and have stuff for fairly cheap in the back of the store. I managed to get my hands on a bottle of Tabasco Reserve, which is the cream of the crop family reserve brand of the hot sauce. I’ve never seen it for sale anywhere else but here.

The factory tour was closed. But we still enjoyed the visit to the property and the store. We are big fans of Tabasco in all its forms. So it was cool to try the different kinds of tabasco(oh the jalapeño jelly is to die-for) and the sweet and spicy and jalapeño icecreams. Every icecream maker should adopt this recipe. OMG! Overall, it was a great experience and we would love come back for a full tour at some point.

If you’re one of those terrorist sympathizers who likes Crystal instead of Tabasco, you can stop reading now. Ok. You’ve been warned. This store is is a Tabasco lovers heaven. Not only do they have all the Tabasco branded merchandise, they stock every variety of Tabasco. That’s right. Every variety of Tabasco can be sampled and purchased here. The store is located on Avery Island($ 2 toll through your passenger window) next to the bottling plant. The tour is OK, but the main reason to visit is the store itself. The store will probably be packed with tourists hoping to find that perfect Cajun gift for their friends back home, but ignore them. Walk all the way to the back right, grab a pretzel stick and start sampling. Once you’ve found your favorite, but as much as your car will hold. Prices are much cheaper than in grocery stores, plus they have more variety. On my last trip I bought $ 40 worth and got: 1 bottle of reserve(hotter and more flavor) 2 bottles of chipotle(absolutely amazing. One bottle lasted one day) 1 bottle of Buffalo(pretty good) 1 bottle of habanero(holy crap it’s hot) 2 bottles of Siracha(best on the market) 1NFL suveneir bottle I’m hopeful my haul lasts me a little while, but when I run out I’ll head back to the store and stock up again.

As a fan of Chipotle tobasco, I wanted to stop by and pick up a few souvenirs for my friends back home. There were a lot of novelty tobasco items to sample. Every time I turned around, I felt that my boyfriend had something new in his hands that he wanted me to try. I really just wanted items that I could bring on the airplane in my carry on luggage, quick and easy. However, despite walking around countless times, a lot of items weren’t gifts I would be proud to give. I ultimately just settled on plain ol’ tobasco sauce.

We LOVED the entire Avery Island experience. We toured the factory then went shopping. We enjoyed the samples and bought many items for gifts and for our own use. Loved it loved it loved it!!! Cannot wait to go back and take family with us.

This is a really neat store with everything Tabasco. Tons of samples with all sort of interesting /weird Tabasco flavors and products including ice cream and Coke. Some stuff seems to be at a discount to a standard store while other products are equal or slightly higher. As there is not much down this way you can also grab lunch with a limited menu. We went on a slow Saturday not a lot was going on, but still fun. This visit was much more worth the stop than the jungle tour.

All the different types of tabasco you can possibly ask for. Nice folks working there and I especially enjoyed talking to a lady there with the Cajun accent. Love it.

Pralines and gifts with a Cajun flair Louisiana cookbooks and Tabasco sampling stations… These are a few of my favorite things. Obviously I LOVE the Tabasco Country Store on Avery Island. It’s got a special place in my heart, no doubt, but don’t let that mar your decision on how freaking wonderful this little gift shop is. Anything(and I do mean anything) Tabasco related you want you’ll find it here for about half off of what you’ll get it for in any grocery store in Louisiana. Tabasco pickles? Check. Tabasco mayo? Check. Tabasco green beans? Check. Bloody Mary mix, chili sauce, aprons, dishes… even earrings… for hot sauce sakes. You’ll find it here. It’s wonderfully affordable and the only place you can purchase the family reserve version of Tabasco hot sauce.(Aged eight years in oak barrels and hotter than hotttt) Yum. I’ll take two of everything, please.

Well Charley C. Pretty much covered everything this place has to offer in his wonderful Unilocal review. This is simply a little country store on Avery Island, in which you have to pay a buck to enter. No worries. There is a little food truck outside that sells Cajun dishes such as Crawfish Etoufee, Boudin, Messy Mac… At pretty reasonable prices… Now the stuff for sale inside the store is pretty cool, but I would say a tad on the steep side… Some if the items just seemed drastically over priced. Either way it was fun, tasting the Tabasco Jalapeño Ice Cream & Tabasco Raspberry Chipotle Ice Cream, Tabasco flavored soda… The list goes on… I picked up a few items I can’t usually find back home like the Tabasco Jelly and Raspberry Chipotle Tabasco Sauce… I also brought home a lot if creative ideas. The cashier was very friendly and nice, the employees were very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. Was pretty stoked they gave us a jar of Tabasco flavored mayonnaise. Overall a nice day.

The Tabasco Country store is exactly that. A country atore that is all things Tabasco, Tabasco to taste, Tabasco to wear, Tabasco to cook with, and other Tabasco stiff. I you want a gift — there is one here for you for you, your uncle and every member of the clan. You can taste everything Tabasco, which is coll as there are so many specialty floavors now. Some are pretty mild and sweet, and others are way too hot, for some anyway. Silk Ties, Spatulas, Sweat shirts, cook books, red hots, candy and more! What fun. Lets go again.
