Inside, the place is a little weird. They start out with a loaf of bread straight from the grocery store. It is cut in half and still in half the original bag. Expectations are low. The BBQ and sides were bland - low expectations were met. Staff was friendly. Better BBQ can be found just about anywhere else you try. I went with a group from work and will not bring my family to Sconyers. read more

Sconyers Bar-B-Que - This is what they give you for bread. The BBQ and sides are very bland. It's hard to believe they have repeat customers. - Barbeque Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

If you like old fashion BBQ then they do a pretty good job. If you go through drive through you better have some time because some time the line can be very long. But the food is good read more

It was okay; decent amount of food for the price. I had really high expectations given their reputation, but there are better BBQ places in Augusta. read more

Chicken was a bit dry. Ribs were eh...BBQ sauce was delicious. Hash made me sick. Bread was wonder read more

Edible but not mouth watering. So many people recommended this place and I just don't get it. I had the smoked turkey and it was just ok, but fortunately not dry as others have pointed out. SO had the brisket and it was very fatty. The lack of side options is so weird to me for a bbq joint, and that half loaf of white bread...? How about some cornbread or rolls or garlic bread??? The service was fine but forgettable, food was meh and the selection lacking. Head on down to Carolina BBQ if you want something you'll be craving weekly. read more

I went here on the recommendation of locals and I have to say that I guess you have to have grown up here to appreciate this place. Overall, it was horrible. The server was rude and the food was terrible. Hash must be an acquired taste, but for those who haven't acquired it, stay away. The entrees were all just hash with a side of some sort of meat and the portions were small. If you don't eat the hash, you'll leave hungry. I will never go back to this place! If you're thinking about going, go ahead and try it, but be prepared to be sorely disappointed, especially if you don't like hash. read more

Sconyers Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Just terrible! The service was great but the bbq was terrible. Pre-cooked bbq is not good at all!

Excellent decor; super cheap; but average bbq. The meals are good but the throw in hash. The hash was super wet an got my bbq wet. If you order; ask them to put the hash on a separate plate. The staff was super nice but understaffed. Took us a long time in between visits. Its worth a visit but I don't think I'll return soon. read more

Sconyers has no business calling itself a BBQ restaurant. I heard several good things from others and decided to give it a try with a friend. Big mistake. The outside is picturesque and gives an impression that you are about to enjoy something wonderful. The restaurant is inside an old wooden cabin and is decorated with pigs and other animals. Staff are dressed like something out of Little House on the Prairie, which seemed to be at odds with a BBQ restaurant. We were given and appetizer of Sunbeam bread. No butter. Just half a loaf of Sunbeam bread still in the wrapper. The food is fairly priced, but nothing special. The sides were limited to slaw, chips, sweet pickles, and potato salad. I'm sorry, but a BBQ restaurant should be offering mashed potatoes, greens, mac n cheese, etc. I order the pulled pork sandwich, and it tasted fine. However, my food was easily ready in 3 minutes, which makes me feel that I was dished out of a tub in the back under a heat lamp. Needless to say, I won't be going back. read more

Food was not good, staff didn't wear gloves, hairnets, or masks. 0/10 would not recommend. If you're looking for BBQ check out Facebook marketing. There are tons of locals making fresh QUALITY food. Its not an exaggeration when I say I gagged and through the bulk of my plate away after cherry picking what I could stomach. read more

Great service and consistently yummy BBQ, love the addition of the pork loin for those of us that try to cut back on salt and other tasty ingredients, sigh. This is also the only place I order sweet tea with my meal, it is the best in Augusta. Larry is always a joy to talk to, hope he keeps going forever read more

Just ate lunch here, I had BBQ chicken. it's s local favorite and very reasonable. It gives you a taste of old pit cooked BBQ and accompanying foods. I go here on rare occasions and not normally what I consider the best place for BBQ. However, that being said, I set the bar extremely high for BBQ. It is pretty good here and the sauces are well above average. If you are in the area and crave BBQ you can't really go wrong eating at Sconyers. read more

I love Sconyers! I grew up going to eat with my parents here all the time! It has the best BBQ, hash and rice, and potato salad. The sweet tea is awesome. It has a great place to sit outside before or after the meal. My favorite thing to order is the plantation platter. You can get turkey or chicken, it comes with ribs, hash and rice, pork bbq, beef bbq (my favorite!), choice of coleslaw, potato salad, or a mixture of both. When you check out they always have the peppermint sticks there. Once your at here it will be the only place you come for BBQ. Local owned restaurant and worth trying!!! They also have a private room upstairs for large parties. read more

Best BBQ I've ever had. Always excellent service. HUGE PLATE of food - easily feeds 2 people with leftovers! Love their hash and the only potato salad that my wife will eat (and she hates all other potato salad) read more

Wow, where do I start! I've never tasted BBQ like this before! I don't even know how to describe the taste...very strange! I'm originally from SC, have traveled many places, I've NEVER tasted anything like this. No smoke flavor AT ALL! I don't know if it's sweet and vinegary or just marinated in Italian dressing...weird! They have this hash over rice, it looks disgusting, but I mixed my chopped brisket (beef) in it with the hot bbq sauce-eatable, not great! Potato Salad was good. Ribs- YUCK! I wanted to like it, but like every place in Augusta, that I've tried, this is a NO! I will not go back. The property is nice, I went thru Drive Thru, can't comment on service, but the lady at the DT was nice. Even my son said, "what's that smell" no smoky smell or taste- not even grill- more like cooked in a pot for elderly people with no taste buds and no teeth ( not intended to be mean) just trying to give a visual! read more

My mother and I decided to try sconyers BBQ. I've heard such good things about it but never had the chance to try it out. Needless to say I was very disappointed!!! I hated the way the hash was thrown on top of the rice, my potato salad was warm & had no flavor, & my ribs was just meh. My mother didn't even touch her plate, all she had was the chicken & potato salad so that says a lot. The waitress didn't seem to care that we barely touched our meal. As I paid, a hostess asked my mother was everything ok, she hesitated to answer. The employee stated, if you have to think about it - it wasn't very good & ushered my mother out the building. Sconyers is a well known BBQ place here in Augusta so they could care less what we thought of the meal.. They're still going to make a profit from everyone else. I however will not be going back!! read more

Yesterday ( Labor Day ) I looked on the website and it stated that Sconyers would be open from 8:00AM to 9:00PM . I went there and who did I see ? Larry in a catering truck leaving the parking lot . I squealed like a pig and couldn't get his attention so I clucked like a chicken and still couldnt get his attention . I wanted to ask him why the hours of operation was wrong . Can you imagine my disappointment ? I felt like a joke was played on me . In the past 2 weeks I ate there 3 times and had the best food and service so I was going to spoil myself with a feast . Next Holiday please check your website . read more

Every time I go back home, Sconyers is absolutely on my to do list. I've been eating at this place since I was a kid and it always satisfies. It's an old wood cabiny place (with an awful gravel parking lot) with the staff dressed in German garb (which is a bit strange), but the food always makes me forget about my more than slightly confusing environment. My standard order is the chopped beef plate with extra hash and rice. Win. The hash and rice is an absolute must have - it might look a little strange at first glance, but you definitely won't regret it. Personally, I like to mix it all up and have one big bowl of delicious. The sauce is sweet and tangy and I usually end up buying an extra bottle to bring back to Atlanta (to hold me over until I make it back to Augusta). They also have the super soft peppermint stick thingys - super delicious. You can buy a bag if you'd like, or you can just wear attire with oversized pockets and snag a handful of the complimentary ones on your way out the door. FYI - They're only open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. read more

My family usually comes here for holidays after we are tired of eating Turkey and dressing or for the Fourth of July. We usually get the Plantation platter to go. It's tons of food, five of us eat off of one plate no lie!!! It comes with chicken, hash, ribs, sometimes turkey, potato salad, and bread. We usually order a extra pint of hash. I love the taste of the potato salad it's more of a salty taste than a sweet one. All of the food is pretty good that's why this place has been opened for years and many people swear by it. I'm a Summer baby, born four days after the Fourth of July so I have a fondness for BBQ. I have two BBQ joints I like and I can definitely split my time between here and the other one! read more

0h my! The chopped beef was awesome, and the potato salad was some of the best I've ever had. If you're ever in Augusta look this place up.

On a road trip and coming up on Augusta GA and pulled up BBQ joints on my iphone and decided Sconyers looked interesting. Pulled up the web site to see if they had hash (I'm into trying out hash) and they did... Big place, speedy service. Had the hash (of course) chopped pork and cole slaw. It was all fairly good and consistent but none of it knocked my socks off. They had 3 kinds of sauce on the table and although they were OK. I wouldn't buy any to take home. The hash didn't have a lot of taste. (although the serving was huge) Had to load it up with sauce to get it to communicate with my taste buds. Only open on Thur - Sat. read more

Just absolutely perfect. A very nice place to sit down and enjoy a great meal. A small plate is more than enough for me. The rice and hash is the best. A wonderful environment. read more

Sconyers rocks. As soon as I was within 50 yards of this establishment, I smelled a delicious aroma of BBQ. The building is quaintly designed as a large wooden house and its imposing visage lets you know that they put a decent amount of thought into the decor. Everyone is friendly. From the servers to the customers waiting outside in line for takeout, everyone seemed to give a damn about how I was doing without being overbearing. The place was full of bustle and it seemed to run like a well-oiled machine. I liked it because efficiency is very important to me. The food - Great. First off, it comes out fast. After I placed my order, I had time to do absolutely nothing before the food came out. The rice and hash are good. The potato salad was decent. The ribs were delicious. There was a little bit of a struggle between myself and the bone over the meat but I dominated rather quickly. The vinegar-y sauce at the table is pretty rockin' and I was liberal in using it. read more

If you are looking for a good BBQ place, look somewhere else. This is by far the worst BBQ place I have ever been too. The atmosphere was good, but the food was not. The ribs sucked and so did the slaw and hash. The options in this place to eat are very limited. Don't waste your money. read more

Sconyers Bar-B-Que - Cat puke with a side of slaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

So I was randomly driving around in Augusta and I came upon this place while trying to get back onto the highway. First impression: Whoa this is like a classic BBQ place like in South Carolina and Texas (eat food out of a paper box). Then... Oh wait, its like a real restaurant on the inside... and... WHY is everyone dressed like Germans? Answer: I HAVE NO IDEA But what I can tell is that the food here is pretty good. Standouts: Hash and Rice: Chopped up meet and BBQ sauce mixed together on top of white rice. Really tasty. Seriously, it looks weird but don't skip it. Chopped Beef: Smokey sweet flavor to it. Pretty moist, a lot better than the chopped pork. So good that you don't need sauce with it. OK: Ribs: pretty average, seasoning on it could have been heavier Turkey: Pretty good flavor but a little bit dry, Somehow better the day after...?? Skip: Chopped pork, no flavor, dry... Oh yeah and the portions are huge here Originally I was going to give this place 4 stars, then I realized that based on the food, it's more worthy of 3 stars. I feel that a 4 star or 5 star rating from me might have resulted from the novelty factor. So overall, a pretty average BBQ place in a region where there are a lot of average BBQ places. read more

If you want good food, Sconyers is where it's at in Augusta. Located a little out of the way, it breathes history as well as fabulous sweet tea, BBQ, hash & rice, potato salad...ahh, I'm making myself hungry. They know how to cook and it shows in the food. Presentation is not the goal here, good food is. They have sauces which you can buy and take with you that have fabulous flavor. I'm a fan of mixing the mild and hot together over my BBQ'd pork. Wait staff are super friendly, quick on service and always happy. If I could eat here regularly I would be happier too! Come in for a filling meal! read more

Great BBQ, incredible atmosphere, large portions and a friendly staff.. Went here for lunch with my staff here in Augusta. To make sure I had a chance to try it all, I had their large meal plate that included 2 pork ribs, 2 large slices of Turkey, BBQ Pork w/ sauce, BBQ Pork Tenderloin, Hash and Rice, Potato Salad, and Coleslaw. The plate was too much for one, and I believe I could have fed a family of 4 w/ the portion I received. They have 3 vinegar based sauces, a mild, a spicy, and a hot vinegar as they call it. All flavorful, and complemented the meat well. I really did not see much "heat" difference between the spicy and hot sauces. The only miss for me was the coleslaw. Vinegar based and similar to KFC coleslaw in consistency, it just really had no flavor.. The Turkey was moist and flavorful, the ribs were tender and tasty w/ a slight sweetness to them. The two flavors of pork were excellent in flavor, moistness and contrast. The hash and rice was a surprise treat, and I need to learn what is in that so I can make at home. I enjoyed the bread and butter pickles, but miss the Jalapeño that comes with Texas BBQ. A great place that I hope to get to visit again. read more

This place is old school barbecue. I went here as a child and loved it so much I took my boys after the masters. Sconyers does not disappoint, they have fast service with good food in a country polite atmosphere. They are efficient even when they have line outside. Only wish we could order it in my neck of the woods! read more

My wife grew up in Augusta and had fond memories of this place.We went on a Friday night and sat right down. Portion size and price were outstanding and the food was delicious!! read more

This place has been my favorite for years!! I grew up eating here every time I came back to my hometown of Augusta. Best bbq ever!!!

As soon as we walked in we were seated. Since this was our first time here our waitress suggested something for us, which was the platter with a bit of everything! It was more than enough for 2. I was a bit skeptical at first since I have not been able to find a place that comes as close to Texas BBQ, and oh man! This place definitely hit the spot! read more

Sconyers Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

A nice find --thanks YELP reviewers! We were on a road trip, and thanks to the power of smartphones + YELP, we found another hidden gem. Very simple menu, basically, you are just picking your meat, and how much of it. We Thanks to reviewer David H., we split the combo meal among 2 adults, 2 kids, and still had about 1/2 left over. Very solid BBQ... not my favorite, I guess we all have our special flavor we enjoy. I would definitely stop back again if I'm in Augusta. read more

Great food and a lot of it at a fair price, what's not to love. Wish they were open more than 3 days a week.

We were finally able to try this place while family was in town. The atmosphere is adorable and the staff was very friendly. The food was ok. No one at our table enjoyed the hash, my pulled pork was just ok. Their sauces are great but I don't think we will go back. read more

I have never had a more awkward, creepy, or unpleasant experience eating lunch in my entire life. I've heard about this place from lots of local people, saying it was good but not great but it's worth a try. I took an out of town friend and was honestly scared for her to eat here. The outside seemed promising - cute and themey - but the inside smelled awful and was filled with some of the most miserable employees and diners I've ever seen. The women wore themed outfits with bonnets and the men wore overalls - and they were all just so sad to be there. We considered leaving but figured the food was the good part. Our food was awful. The pork was okay, the sauces were terrible, the potato salad was awful, and the sliced bread served on the table was more weird than charming. The "hash" my husband had was one of the grossest things I've ever smelled or tasted. We waited in an impossibly long line where everything seemed to move in slow motion to pay - and finally got out of there. I have never taken the time to write a review of any kind - but I wanted to take the time to write this. If you're considering trying sconyers as a local or tourist - skip it. read more

What a great experience! I got the 1/4 chicken plate with hash and a side of coleslaw and it was fantastic! The food came right out! The best part was the hash! read more

This is probably one of the top 2 places I've ever eaten BBQ. Service and food was awesome! Upon entering, it looks like you've stepped back in time. Wait staff dresses and decor are about a century old and beautiful. My husband and I both had the T-loin sandwich and there's actually enough meat on one for 2 sandwiches. Tender and juicy meat on a fresh sift bun. We will be back! read more

Sconyers gets 5 stars for originality. I have definitely had bbq that I've liked more, but the hash here is what's so different. Kind of like Brunswick stew--delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

Enjoyed the flavor of the hash! I tend to eat it woth the bread loaf I buy with the rib plate or brisket I ordered extra pickles to eat with the hash, brisket and potato salad and slaw! My second time ordering there and I haven't been disappointed. read more
