Take a breath!
Based on this experience, I would not wait in that line. But, I would still like to try it strait from the restaurant, so I would do a pre-order which is to go. My understanding is there isn't really much of a wait for that, you just aren't allowed to eat it on site, which I would be fine with.
I don't know if the rules have changed but when I previously pre-ordered 5 lbs. of a variety of meats there was nothing against eating on-site. In fact, I was going to carry it away to eat at home when the guys I was in line with for 4 hours told me I just HAD to eat some here - so I did. Somehow I didn't go home with 5 lbs of Q. Another of life's mysteries.
