Burnt ends are very tasty chewet morsels with a heavy smokey taste. They also go great in beans. They really aren't for everybody. Some folks like my wife aren't really big fans of them.

I am not sure but I think a lot of BBQ joints will just chop up a whole brisket to make burnt ends since a brisket will not yield the quantities needed to fill the requests for them.
I concur with 2bikemike. Burnt ends should be chewy, smokey and heavily flavored. Generally, they are pretty fatty because the point is the fatty part of the brisket. They're oversmoked, overcooked pieces of heaven. And they tend to be a little jerky-like. 2bikemike's process is how they're supposed to be done.
