Which BBQ joint do you patronize despite its brisket?
In Texas, BBQ joints are judged by brisket. Everything else is secondary. A place may have great ribs, but if the brisket is subpar, so is the joint (generally speaking). But there are scores more BBQ joints than there are BBQ joints with good brisket. So, either people mistakenly think the brisket is good, they know it's not good but eat it anyway, or they go there despite the brisket and eat other things. Do you have a BBQ joint you enjoy despite its brisket?

North Main in Euless. Their ribs are the best, but their brisket can be pretty average. However I have learned to stick to just burnt ends there and that seems to be the ticket.
Twitter reply: "one. Brisket is standard by which thou shalt B judged but there R places where I crave something other than brisket. #riddle"

I don't believe I have ever been to a BBQ place and not ordered brisket. However, their are several places were their other meats outshine their brisket.
JMuellerBBQ is the best example. The brisket is amazing, but the beef rib is the best I have every had.
Opie's is a good example. Middle of the road brisket, but the greatest baby back ribs and side dished of any BBQ place in the state.
