We loved this place! We got to try the sauces before buying, which is rare at stores. Anthony was awesome and made so many great suggestions. What a cool, fun, place with plenty of unique hot sauces to try! Go check them out! read more

My wife and I frequent Eureka Springs on a fairly regular basis and one of my favorite places to go used to be the silly chile store. Last night at a little past 5 pm i walked up to the door and was greeted by a fellow basically blocking the door as I approached he quickly reached in side the door and flipped his sign to closed. Now I understand that maybe he was closing the store but he was quite rude about it I told him he lost a sale and he responded oh well.... So i wont go back ever. read more

Silly Chile - Looking for hot sauce??? - Specialty Food Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Awesome little specialty shop with sauces, spices, and spreads. We tried the hot pepper jam while browsing and fell in love, even bought a jar to take home and snack on. Service was very friendly and they kept offering samples, which I highly enjoyed. The store was clean and organized. Overall, a neat speciality shop to check out while in Eureka! read more

If you're into hot sauces (which I am) then this place is a "must see". Not only will you find a sauce for any taste but you'll get a good laugh at some of the names of the sauces. Be careful of you little ones, some of those names and labels are a little adult oriented. The only drawback I have to this place is the owners insistence on you trying their free samples. The people working there seem to be really nice people and I don't mind if they bring the free samples to my attention but please don't chase me down to hand one to me. read more

This place has nearly every kind of hot sauce and salsa you'd ever want or desire. They even have several other hot and spicy themed items such as popcorn, nuts, and yes, even spicy chocolate. This is the only place I've been able to find several salsas. It's also a great place to shop for gifts. Unfortunately, the only detractor is that it's kind of pricey. read more

Love coming to place when I am in town. Tons of hot sauce available. The spicy popcorn is yummy. Their local made jellies and jams are good. Especially the raspberry jalapeno. The staff is very friendly. They have a deck in the back. Great view. read more

Fun store, great selection. Glad the new management is keeping the old ways, I'll keep coming back every time I visit Eureka Springs.

My sister-in-law and her husband LOVE the candied jalapeños available in this Eureka Springs shop, but I go for the hot sauces. My husband's not the piquancy-loving foodie that I am, but he's really fond of the "gussied up" cream cheese spreads that this place offers. We have a second home in Eureka Springs -- a 1919 log cabin out on nearby Lake Lucerne. We had a blast on our last trip up, in that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law joined us for leisurely lunch out on the deck at the cabin. Hell, half the noshes on our patio table were from The Silly Chile. My husband aside, well, we're a spicy bunch. Thanks, Silly Chile. read more

I won't be back. The woman working was very rude. I actually walked out and left my intended purchased. My bf bought them or they would not get a dime out of me. I know you are stressed lady, Im sorry you have to "deal with people". Welcome to retail! Being a bitch to customers won't get you my repeat business. read more

If you are looking for a unique and eccentric shop for your hot sauce then look no further. The Silly Chile is an awesome little shop in Eureka Springs. If you are looking for something low on the Scoville scale or high then stop in. The atmosphere is great and the employees are very nice and friendly. They have a wide selection of hot sauces and bbq sauces for all of your cooking needs. I would recommend the .357 line of sauces if you are looking for a good well rounded hot sauce but they also have the more adventurous Diablo line of sauces. read more

Don't miss this place when in Eureka Springs - especially if you're a spicy food fan. The staff makes it a good time and offers lots of samples. read more

I found this place with my BF's mom & I loved it! They got me hooked on this sweet jalapeno jam that they were sampling with crackers & cream cheese! The owners were wicked friendly & fun. I am definitely coming back! read more

Being a hot sauce/food adventurer, I found this place heaven sent! They have every style of hot sauce and spiced rubs you can imagine! This place makes a great gag gift (for those who don't enjoy spicy, they have some sauces that reach up to a few million scoville units). I'd def. make this a pit stop if I were to come to Eureka Springs. read more

I love this place. This has become one of my must go to stops when I come to Eureka. If you haven't tried Big Ricks Bar BQ sauce you definitely need to. Among other things they have. I go to Eureka every year as part of the STO Rally (Scooting the Ozarks) I always make sure I go see these guys. They are very helpful & very friendly. Thanks read more

Huge hot sauce selection. This is not just a novelty store, but a great place for people who love spicy food. There are lots of samples, and other spicy options (hot popcorn, syrups, chips, etc.). The owners are knowledgeable and fun to talk to. read more

Great selection and extremely helpful staff. Samples are great, too. Closes very early so make sure you check the hours.

I think they must have every spice and hot sauce you can imagine! The staff is very nice and helpful. We tried about six new item samples (I came home with some too!) Great store, great merchandise. They even sell online--- so glad! I'll be buying from home! They also make great Cherry Limeades in house and offered a fantastic recipe to go along with a glaze I purchased! I'll be going back if we're ever back in town and may have to hide the credit card when I look at their online store! read more

Super friendly staff!!! Awesome selection of product with so many unique sauces. The no photo signs were a little weird but that didn't bother us! read more

If you are one that enjoys spicy foods, this is THE place to go in Eureka Springs, if not all of Arkansas. It has everything you could think of that has to do with good, spicy eatin'. The owners are very nice and very informative. I've been to Silly Chili many times. I love the place and I'm sure you will, too. read more

Being a pro-am pepper head ( I enter pepper eating contests), I am always interested in stores that cater to what I love to eat. This store more than fulfills that need! All the latest trends in hot pepper salsa's, mixes, dips, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many varieties of the 'ghost pepper' sauces. Since the 'ghost pepper is just over one-million scovilles very few places carry it. If you are a true pepper-head and not a sissy tongue, this is your one-stop shop! read more

okay, so it's a hot sauce store. nothing less, but the service propelled it to so much more. the young lady behind the counter was attentive and seriously knowledgeable about the product. samples, check. product recipes, check. hot sauce store, in eureka springs, Arkansas. marvelous. oh, and for good measures, she gave us great places to catch drinks and food within walking distance of our b&b. silly Chile=winning! read more

I have a very nice collection of Hot Sauces from all over. I stared in 1995. I have never been in a shop where the staff / owner actually knew what they were talking about and offered samples of anything (except the stupid hot novelty items). Chit chat was very pleasant, no dust on the bottles (seems to be an issue at most hot sauce stores) and they really know their sauces. They even gave me kudos for having tasted "The Source" (look it up, just plain stupid hot. 7.1 million scoville units) before and lived to tell about it. Super place, just can't say enough. Went in just to look and walked out with 4 bottles of hot sauce. Oh yeah, you have to try the Raspberry Wasabi Mustard!! read more

I love this place. We visit it every time we go to Eureka Springs AR. They have every spice, rub and salsa you can think of, plus a lot of fun ones that you may not have seen. The owners are so nice and are always giving out free samples. I always leave with my tongue burning and a big smile. Try it out!! read more

On my visit to Eureka Springs I was happy to find a place with fresh limeades! When I ordered 4 limeades totaling over $10, the owner was sure to inform me that she would lose money on my transaction if I used my debit card. I had no cash and she was very irritated. Although I felt this was a rude reaction, I told her to not worry about the limeades and we would be on our way. She proceeded to make the limeades anyway (and swiping my debit card) while lecturing me to bring cash or check next time. There will be no next time. read more

This store in downtown Eureka Springs sells spices, meat rubs, BBQ sauce, and other similar products. Decent place to find gifts for "Dirty Santa" or "White Elephant" parties, or to find a good steak seasoning. Nothing special. read more

Good selection, but items were priced 2x what they should be. Combine this with the staff pushing for cash/check transactions, I won't be back again. read more

cool store with cool owners. An amazing selection of hot sauce.

This place was awesome! Very friendly staff and lots of tasty samples--wanted to buy so much! This was the first time I've ever visited Silly Chile but it won't be the last--it's now a must stop and I'm recommending it to everyone who is going to visit Eureka. read more

We stop in here every time we visit Eureka Springs. They have a huge selection of hot sauces and a great staff who will help you pick just what you are looking for. Don't have any clue what you want? They are more then happy to provide samples of a variety of items. Our favorite....the candied jalapeños. Serve them up on a cracker with some cream cheese for a spicy, sweet appetizer. It's a little on the pricy side so they get 4 stars instead of 5 but we will keep coming back when we're in town. read more

Love this store! Fun people, they know their hot sauces... We go there ever visit..and they ship me stuff when I run out!

Awesome staff and awesome selection. While I was browsing I was constantly offered samples that helped aid in my selection. Will not miss this place next time I'm in Eureka Springs! read more

Loved It! My husband and I were in Eureka Springs for our Anniversary over the Super Bowl weekend. We stopped in on Saturday late afternoon simply because my husband adores all things hot, the minute we walked in the man working there offered a couple samples and good conversation, we ended up buying the Red Pepper Ancho Chili jelly that we sampled and then we left...that night we regretted not buying the Candied Jalapenos and more of the Ancho Chili for family back home so on Sunday we went back,! We drove through the quaint downtown area and the Silly Chili was closed, we decided to do some other shopping and try a bit later, hoping to get lucky...we went back at just the right time, and they were open for just a couple of hours before the Superbowl. We didn't mess around that time, buying 2 more jars of the Ancho Chili jelly and the Candied Jalapenos. We're already planning to stop in and restock during our summer trip to Branson. read more

I loved the store, but the woman (owner?) was horribly rude to me and my fiance. We were dressed in leathers because we rode his Harley down from Missouri, so I wondered if she was rude to us because we're bikers...wealthy, professional bikers...too bad for her, I wouldn't drop a dime in that store after the way she treated us. The man running the store was great, hope that isn't his wife! read more

Always great service, knowledgeable, fun staff, great for years.....years....that says it all....people come and go, in and out, the inventory is beyond wow....great store....great business....kb read more

We make two to three trips per year to Eureka Springs because it is a great place to wind down and the people there are so friendly as a general rule. We have been to the Silly Chile a few times, the first being an OK experience because we were wide eyed with new things to look at. The next trip was so-so and the third time we said we wouldn't go back due to the rude and just a little better than you attitude of the shop staff. Well we were in town over Memorial Weekend and for some reason we did go back and it was the icing on the cake! The first thing I noticed was little signs posted by the dozens to not take pictures.....OK I can remember and do not need to be reminded every two feet on your shelves. This is not an Art Gallery! The topper was when the lady asked where we were staying and my wife replied "Eureka Springs Treehouses" and in a really snotty reply said "Oh I have something better than that" and handed us a Loft with Balls flyer. First off...that is certainly not the way to drum up business and second it is far from better. We will not waste our time in this shop again. Maybe New York or Chicago would be a better place for them to be with their "better than you" attitudes! Won't be back period! read more
