Sacha,
I thought the Marion location was their flagship operation. I've only been to the 17th Street location in O'Fallon, and I loved their brisket, best I've ever found. Sorry that it closed. I now satisfy my brisket craving at Hicks in Belleville when I go to Belle-Clair. We have Bandanas in Evansville, and we like it. However, their beef is actually a different cut, not brisket. The server gave me a sample of it last time we were there, and I wound up getting a meal of it. It wasn't bad, but I prefer the brisket at 17th Street or Hicks. When going to DuQuoin from Evansville, I've found that Larry's BBQ in Christopher, IL is pretty good.
