Finally got around to trying out Sconyer's Bar-B-Que last week. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I tried two sandwiches, one chipped pork, the other chopped brisket, and a side of the potato salad. I also requested both the hot and regular BBQ sauces to try.
Both of the sandwiches were quite tasty, I tasted the pork and beef coming through in the meat and while they do not sauce the meat, it was still moist. The brisket had a couple fattier bites where the pork did not but the meat and fat was tender and fell apart in the mouth. I did not find any gacky bites that needed to be swallowed or thrown out. On the other hand, I did find one bite of the pork that needed to be tossed as I believe a small bit of bone had been chopped into the meat. Didn't ruin the sandwich or gross me out, just something of which to be aware. The meat portions were substantial too and made for a sandwich that could suffice on its own for a regular meal. Bun was pretty standard, nothing toasted, prepped or special about the top or bottom.
Regarding the sauces, the flavors were both distinct and enjoyable. The regular is a bit sweet and the hot provides some fun flavors with just a bit of a punch. If you love hot, it'll be great, if you're wary, try it on a bite first. They both flow quickly too and are far from the syrup like concoctions you normally grab at the grocery store.
As for the potato salad, and I'm only recently starting to eat them, I was quite impressed. By itself, it was pretty tasty, with some of the meat on it, I liked it even better. I could even see myself trying it with a whole host of other dishes like gumbo (some populations in Louisiana replace the rice in gumbo with potato salad, it's a surprisingly good alternative). Super impressed and would definitely try if you're not sure about the side and think it might be to your liking.
While I did eat take out, so I can't speak to the inside space, based on the theming of the drive through, I expect the inside is a very well kept and charming barn style building. The exterior drive-through was both functional and attractive. As for the seating arrangements, there websites boasts being able to host hundreds so I expect the wait time shouldn't ever be too long. That being said, they only open a few days a week so plan out your decision to eat there.
The personnel working the window were pleasant enough, knowledgeable of the menu, and their speed was as expected. Came on a couple minutes after opening time but that's no big deal. Parking looks like it should be fine, though if the parking lot fills up I would guess people just park on their street nearby. There's nothing else between the main drag and shopping center so I guess they have some freedom to make decisions on the fly.
They do have a website, it's a little tacky but still functional, with their menu and prices which is useful, just be careful when you first click the link because they have an awful jingle that tries to play when you open the page, you can quickly click it off at the top of the page.
The price point is a little steeper than I would like personally, you'll probably spend more than $10 per person, but it's still quite reasonable.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will happily point people there moving forward.
