What reviewers say
Walmart customer reviews for Stubb's Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce average 4.1 stars but show clear polarization, with the majority praising its sweet flavor on meats like ribs and pork chops while a notable minority finds it disappointing. Several users highlight the absence of high-fructose corn syrup and its performance in slow-cooked dishes or as a brush-on sauce. However, complaints center on a lack of authentic Dr Pepper taste, artificial notes, and inconsistent texture. A third-party ranking from Mashed places it last among Stubb's varieties due to excessive sweetness and weak flavor identity.
Pros
- performs well on ribs, pork chops, and other meats in slow cooker or grill applications
- sweet profile that some describe as legendary for those who enjoy sweet BBQ
- no high-fructose corn syrup and gluten-free ingredients
Cons
- many reviewers say it lacks genuine Dr Pepper flavor
- described as artificially tasting or like liquid smoke with cherry notes by detractors
- texture complaints range from too thin to overly thick; some found it ruined expensive meat
“I smothered some very thick pork chops in caramelized onions and this sauce. Cooked on low in slow cooker for 7 hours. Best thing I ever cooked.”
