Your grill has done it all.
It’s cooked enough burgers to feed a small army, enough chicken to make your neighbors jealous, and enough brats that you’re pretty sure you’re on a first-name basis with the meat department. But if everything coming off the grates is starting to taste…well…the same, don’t blame the grill.
The easiest way to shake up your backyard BBQ isn’t buying a fancy smoker or learning some secret chef technique. It’s to fire up the grill and change the seasoning.
Whether you’re grilling for a family feast or just looking for an excuse to stand outside with a spatula and a cold drink, here’s your guide to Wildwood’s signature seasonings.
Mesquite
For the grill master who likes to keep it classic.
Smoky. Savory. No unnecessary heat.
Mesquite brings that classic Southwest barbecue flavor that somehow makes everything taste like it came off a professional pit. If you’re the type who believes you can’t go wrong with a perfectly grilled burger or steak, this bottle belongs within arm’s reach.
Perfect Match: Burgers, steaks, pork chops, chicken…honestly, if it’s headed for the grill, Mesquite is probably a safe bet.
Honey Pepper
Sweet enough to keep things interesting.
Can’t decide between sweet and savory? You don’t have to.
Honey Pepper brings just enough sweetness to grab your attention while the pepper keeps everything balanced. It’s one of those seasonings people try once…and then suddenly it ends up on everything.
Perfect Match: Chicken, beef, salmon, and anyone who likes a little personality in their food.
RibRiffic
The overachiever.
Sure, it’s incredible on ribs (the name kind of gives that away), but stopping there would be doing yourself a disservice.
Rub it on pork, wild game, or anything headed for the smoker, let it hang out for about an hour, and let the seasoning handle the heavy lifting.
Perfect Match: Ribs, pork shoulder, chops, venison, and bragging rights at the next cookout.
Minnesota Nice
Proof that “nice” doesn’t have to mean boring.
Minnesota Nice is what happens when smoky seasoning meets a little maple magic. The granulated maple adds a subtle sweetness that balances the savory flavors and gives your grill favorites a flavor upgrade they didn’t know they needed.
It’s especially good on chicken and salmon, but we won’t judge if it starts making appearances on everything from breakfast favorites to dinner plates.
Perfect Match: Chicken, bacon, salmon, pork, and demanding “just one more bite.”
Fish & Potato
Don’t let the name boss you around.
Yes, it’s fantastic on fish.
Yes, it’s perfect on potatoes.
But that’s only the beginning.
This tangy, slightly spicy blend also wakes up shrimp, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, and just about anything that could use a little extra flavor.
Perfect Match: Fish, shrimp, potatoes, veggies…and proving labels can be misleading.
All Purpose
The MVP of your spice cabinet.
Not every seasoning needs a complicated introduction. Sometimes you just need the one that gets the job done.
All Purpose is exactly what it claims to be: a dependable, low-salt seasoning that lets the food shine while adding that extra something that makes everyone wonder what you did differently.
Sprinkle it on potatoes before they hit the grill, add it to shrimp for an easy flavor boost, or use it whenever a dish needs a little help in the flavor department.
Perfect Match: Literally whatever you’re grilling tonight.
Taco
Because Taco Tuesday deserves a vacation.
Who says tacos only belong on Tuesdays?
Sprinkle Taco seasoning on chicken, steak, pork, or burgers before they hit the grill, and suddenly dinner feels a whole lot more like a fiesta than a weeknight.
Perfect Match: Fajitas, tacos, burgers, and all things southwest in nature.
GPS
No directions required.
Our GPS (Garlic Pepper Salt) won’t tell you how to get home, but it will point you toward a better dinner.
It keeps things simple with three classic flavors that never miss: savory garlic, a kick of pepper, and just the right amount of salt. It’s the kind of seasoning that earns a permanent spot by the grill because you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again.
Perfect Match: Chicken, turkey, beef, venison, and whatever else finds its way onto your grill.
Want to Turn Up the Heat?
Meet Ghost Pepper.
This isn’t the seasoning you dump on by accident.
Ghost Pepper starts off innocent enough…and then reminds you who’s in charge.
The best part? You don’t have to use it by itself. Mix a little into Mesquite, Honey Pepper, Minnesota Nice, All Purpose, GPS (or any of your Wildwood favorites) to build your own custom blend with just the right amount of kick.
Your Grill Deserves Better Than “The Usual.”
BBQ season never needs to come to an end. So, the next time you fire up the grill, skip the same old salt-and-pepper routine. Grab a Wildwood seasoning (or three), try something new, and see which one earns a permanent spot next to your tongs.
Your taste buds will thank you. Your dinner guests will ask what your secret is.
We’ll let you decide whether you tell them.
