I would like to try them but the only place that I've been with them on the menu was not a place that I trusted to do them right. When I try them I want to know they're done right. I don't want to risk having my first taste tainted by poorly cooked snails.

If you live anywhere near Northfield/Bernardston/Greenfield (western) Massachusetts there's a restaurant near the Northfield/Bernardston line that has the absolute best I've ever had anywhere in this country. I looked on google maps and I'm pretty sure it was Zeke's Bar & Grill at the Crumpin Fox Golf Course. This was 30 years ago so your mileage may vary. I've tried them at fancy restaurants in New York and Miami, and I think there was a place we stopped at in South Carolina, real swanky place, and they were awful. The rest of the stuff we got there was good to great, but I couldn't even choke the escargot down with a beer lol.

I make them myself but unlike every other seafood I cook I can't seem to get them as good as Zeke's. My whole family (and friends) raves about my seafood cooking (swordfish, shark, lobster, steamers, salmon, trout etc). If it comes out of water I get it right. But not escargot. Can't cook pork to save my life anymore, it all comes out tasting like petroleum lol.

If you aren't a big fish/seafood fan you probably won't like escargot.
