text: I had an hankering (wha???) for some BBQ but my usual haunts were all closed. So I could either delay my desires (which I would rather never do) or try the only BBQ place I could find open: The Q-Shack.  \n\nMy first visit may not have been a good representation of what they had to offer. It was just before closing time and everything had that \"leftovers\" feel: just tired of being hot food.  Still I had the brisket, took it to go and enjoyed it at home.  It was a far cry from the brisket I was dreaming of from Uncle Billy's in Austin Tx but it was better than any brisket I was eating currently.\n\nThis week I went back and ordered the brisket with pasta salad and mac and cheese (yeah a lot of noodles). This time, the brisket was better but the pasta salad still had that store-brought taste.  \n\nDon't get the wrong: the food isn't bad at all but the price leaves me wishing the sides were on par with the meat.  \n\nIn my local ranking of BBQ, Q-shack is a solid 4th place.
