Tom,
If the only brisket you had was from Smokey Bones, you're expectations are definately not too high. I had some brisket there recently and it was a sad excuse for being called BBQ. I'm not trying to be a snob, it was just cut with the grain, had a lot of sauce dumped on it, and was pretty tough. After a few trys I'm sure you'll blow away whatever S. Bones is offering!
