I will try places here and there, but generally try to temper my expectations for BBQ at any restaurant. I don't think restaurant Q really compares, generally, to what can be done at home.
This weekend, I was in Virginia Beach and happened on a little shack called Dave's BBQ. I ordered brisket with very low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised that the brisket was flavorful, tender and moist (on piece was slightly dry). I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my meal thoroughly. The rest of my part did too - my wife had a brisket sandwich and our friends had pulled pork sandwiches which had the most generous serving of pork I've seen at a restaurant.
Emboldened, the next day we ended up at Guy Fieri's Smokehouse in Norfolk. I should have ordered a burger. Instead, I ordered the brisket platter. Big mistake.....undercooked, dry as a bone brisket.
I should have known, but I got cocky and paid the price. Why do I do this to myself?
