As the 4th of July quickly approaches, so does my taste for all types of things BBQ. If you love smoked, tender, juicy, flavorful meats, then you will love Mighty Quinn's. I headed here this past Tuesday b/c it was hot and I didn't feel like cooking. My guilt about this totally evaporated once I tasted everything.
This place is all yummy and no frills. You walk in, head to the back, pick out your meats which are sliced and prepped in front of you, and then you have the option of eating in or taking out (the containers don't change whether you eat in or take out, think Whole Foods cafeteria style, only swankier). In nice weather, the windowed doors are removed.
I read the yelp reviews before going, which heavily lauded the brisket (see below), which IS super juicy and moist, but I love pork, so I also got the pulled pork (top pic) and the smoked sausage-- both were delicious! The pork was decently sauced so as not to overwhelm the taste of the meat. The sausage was spicy AND flavorful.
The sides are not too shabby either, I tried the edamame and sweet pea shoots with feta cheese and red onion (see below) and the "burnt ends" (baked beans mixed with charred brisket ends) are pretty amazing and you will be sad if you don't order them.
P.S.You can do the low-carb thing here too-- you can get meats sandwich style or "naked."
This place is clearly popular as they are already slated to open another in Battery Park City according to Eater. But you can also get your fill of MQ's at Smorgasburg if you are one of those Brooklynites who don't leave Brooklyn on the weekends [squints eyes].
Only sad thing-- no delivery...yet
