Pepper Palace

Good night!! They have an amazing selection and we loved that you can taste before you buy. This is definitely the place to buy hot sauce!! Totally worth it. We bought some for us to bring home and some for gifts. The team member that helped us is very knowledgeable and spot on with selections. We bought sauces and rubs! Yum. Stop on by!!

Absolutely crazy selection of hot sauces and plenty if you don't have a high spice tolerance too! We grabbed a pepper jelly and several sauces, but the best thing is that you can taste literally everything in the store! Also the staff is super friendly amd helpful in finding the right sauce!

Love this quaint shop. Cory is a very personable employee. Sample products for free and browse the awesome spices for cooking out. Not sure what to get? Just ask Cory!

Delicious hot sauce everywhere. There is an entire wall of probably 100 different sauces to sample. Just sampling is an entertaining thing to do on its own. It would make a fun date or activity. The owners were helpful and fun as were their charming little daughters. The older of the two told me to get the Tres Diablos which has been a brilliant recommendation.

Pepper Palace has a great selection of sauces and salsas, most of which have sample bottles so you can try before you buy.
While you're here, try the 6-million scoville hot sauce they have (if you dare) and get a prize.

This is the closest Pepper Palace (an hours drive) to me and my wife and we'll gladly make the drive every time we need to stock up on great hot sauce. They have a HUGE selection of hot sauce, wing sauce, BBQ sauce, and much more. My wife and I looooove adding hot sauce to just about everything and they have all levels of spiciness. From low level, all the way up to "why did I just eat this?!?!" and they're all great. No place in town carries any of this kind of stuff so it's great having one so close.

What a great place! Organized, clean and you can sample everything. This was our first time shopping for a hot sauce, and Jonathan helped us out. He carefully explained ingredients and helped us to pick our new favorites. Thank you for asking this a pleasant shopping experience J!

Husband likes hot sauce but delicious ones not the ones that have death notices on them. Everything in this store is made in Sevierville TN. Was very interesting and my husband picked out a few to take home. We were both impressed by the helpfulness of the people as well as the quality of the products. Look forward to another visit!

I loved entering this store as it felt like a completely separate world from the rest of college street. what I mean by that is, you are immediately greeted by a wall filled with different types of hot sauces and the staff member that I met there was named Jonathan. Jonathan helped my family and I taste a myriad of different hot sauces as well as jerkies and I truly felt like we were welcomed and valued as customers there. the store was so much fun that we ended up learning there is another location close to us in New Jersey and you can be sure that we will visit that one. Thanks, Jonathan!

This is a really fun store. They have more than just hot sauces. Highly recommend.

This place is awesome! Heard about them and there wasn't one within 100 miles of me then I moved here and this one is walking distance from me! Free samples of everything. You could easily spend a lot of money !! Must check out if you can

Visited pepper palace on 7/5. Jonathan at the Asheville location was phenomenal. I absolutely love my spices and sauces, he directed me towards the right flavors the fit my tastes. Beyond amazed with not only the selection of spices and sauces, but amazed with the customer service as well!

Awesome selection and wide variety of wing sauces, salsas, hot sauces and more! Whoever was working today (11/30/21, I didn't catch their name!) was so nice and helpful! We bonded over the color yellow and they gave us a very informative explanation of the sauces, their origin in Appalachia and more! Thanks for being so great ☺

Real cool place. The guy at the counter was excellent in dialing in the sauce I wanted for my future grilling adventures. I got a bottle of the sweet bourbon. He let us also try some samples of the pickled brussel sprouts and the pickled garlic. Yum! Worth the stop.

PS: We were from out of town and he even helped us scope out a great local breakfast spot because we told him we wanted to eat a killer breakfast but didn’t know where. We had a great breakfast the next morning so that was cool.

This shop has a fantastic selection and will have something for every palate. Jonathan was super helpful and made sure we were able to sample everything we wanted to during our visit. Highly recommend stopping in.

I stopped by here to get some hot sauce for my boyfriend as he is a heat fanatic. The gentleman who help me was extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the various products their shelf life and what dishes they pair with. He patiently let me sample a few of the sauces while I decided what would be the best options and was super friendly. I gave him a general idea of what I was looking for and he was spot on with the recommendations.
If you are looking for something to spice up your meals and aren't sure what would be the best option for you I would highly recommend stopping by this store.

Johnathan was AWESOME! He basically let us on a tour of spiciness that lasted almost an hour. Knows everything about every product. Amazing. Great stuff, definitely walked out with a good endorphin high. It’s really more of an activity than just a store.

Awesome staff. We were shy to try the hot sauces and the gentleman working on Tuesday was very helpful. He basically insisted that we try some. So glad we did. Great place to check out, especially if on vacation. Had a lot of fun in the store. Ghost in the Darkness was a great sauce, Ghost pepper with a sweet after taste. Keep it simple or try (The End Challenge). Great staff, great hot sauce.

What a cool spot to shop for sauces and spices! We had a fantastic experience and walked out with a few killer sauces. We could have bought so much more! Thanks Jonathan! You made the experience! …Scott and Heather

This place is awesome. I love it! They have a friendly staff, good pricing, and a MASSIVE selection. Plus, they let you try free samples before you buy! I like to stock up on my favorites but these also make great gifts for people as well. Best of all, they're all made locally in Sevierville TN! Hit up the sauce bosses at Pepper Palace and you won't forget it!
