Mighty Quinn’s

This is where all started! Long lines and almost 45 min wait just for a brisket sandwich. It’s THAT good! Simple and consistent: they only sell brisket sandwiches. And yes, they are the best ones you can eat in your lifetime. It’s so good that when I found they were opening a joint in east village I got so excited I couldn’t stop talking about what I was going to eat. Obviously the restaurant is ten times better because they don’t only have brisket by pound but they also have a killer pulled pork and barbecue ribs that compete with the best barbecues in the country. This place is top rated and it’s claimed to be one of the best in the states.
Their beans are just the perfect dish for winter. It’s like a chili but packed with brisket and pulled pork! A M A Z I N G
Anyway, going back to this little joint in the middle of smorgasburg fair, it’s worth the wait and they have a nice smokey brisket that melts in your mouth paired with pickles, onions and their special barbecue sauce with a little sprinkle of sea salt on top. A nice tip is to ask the butcher to rub the bread’s interior in the cutting table where the magic happens. That way you have a nice flavor in the bread.
Top top top quality! All Mighty Quinn and King of the barbecue!

OMG. Thats all i can say. Pulled pork slider and sweet potato cassorele are to die for. Run don’t walk. Go get it now.

Had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches — both excellent. If you want great BBQ, this is the place to go.

I first tried Might Quinn’s in Smorgasborg Dumbo. It’s very tasty. I personally like fatty brisket they mostly had lean but their bread and sauces were pretty good. Recently my husband and I dined in in their restaurant… They have a good selection of bbq but the brisket was still rather dry for me.

Gros gros coup de coeur pour ce burger ! Difficile de le comparer avec un burger quelconque car il n’est pas comparable. La viande est juste… divine ! Cuite au barbecue, elle fond en bouche et a un goût extra ! Bref, vous l’aurez compris… j’en rêve encore.
Longue vie à Mighty Quinn’s !!!

Pretty good! The brisket and pulled pork were both a little drier than I expected given the rave reviews. The flavor was definitely there though. It could have just been the batch I was given. Still, despite serving a relentless line the staff was friendly and the sandwiches are visibly made with care.

Outstanding Texalina (Texas & Carolinas fusion) barbecue! I would argue even better than than Fettesau, although that’s no chump bbq either. The burnt ends and sausage are my faves. But the chicken wings are excellent as well. You just need to get your own blue cheese dip for them. The slaws, both vinegar and mayo varieties, are winners and the locked peppers, onions, cucumbers all go well together. Best of all, this doesn’t make you feel overly stuffed or sluggish afterwards.

I don’t like eating the same thing over and over. Usually. Every Saturday, though, I trek to Williamsburg and fight the crowds of Smorgasburg for my brisket slider. The pulled pork is amazing, the toppings are well-​made and the sea salt is a must-​have.
The brisket, though. They cut it right in font of you. Don’t go grabbing it off the table, you’ll want to wait till they put it on the slider. They have a $ 5 mini and a $ 10 regular. If you want to enjoy all that is Smorgasburg, go with the mini. Five dollars never bought me more happiness in this city, and I have still have room for some of the other great foods.

I love their pork burger! I tried at Brooklyn Bridge park. I ate two big ones (trying to forget that I’m in diet =p) Try to arrive earlier for Brooklyn bridge park, after 2pm, the lines are crazy.
Small burger definitely not enough for a skinny girl, coz you gonna love it too!

As a barbecue obsessed individual, when I saw Mighty Quinn’s occupying a stall at Smorgasburg a few weekends ago, I knew I’d found lunch.
Pit Master Hugh Mangum abides by slow-​cooking his high quality barbecue meats with plenty of wood and time. The freshly-​sliced brisket is topped with a light sprinkling of sea salt and some delicious barbecue sauce. It’s a picture-​perfect combination. I almost didn’t want to take a bite.
Wow! What a brisket sandwich! The meat had a perfectly charred black exterior giving way to a red smoke ring interior. I can see why Mighty Quinn’s is a top spot among barbecue lovers — this was delicious. My only complaint was that the brisket could have been a little juicer. I thought it was somewhat dry and could have had a little bit more fat on it.
Next stop — checking out one of Mighty Quinn’s restaurant locations, which are based on the fast casual cafeteria model (and ordering the entire menu). Anyone want to join?

Aaron Franklin has ruined brisket for me. Ruined it. Nothing was the same.
Buuut my brisket sandwich at Mighty Quinn’s was pretty good. The slaw is a fine compliment.

Amazing.
My favourites are the beans and the ribs, but it’s all great.

I’ve been to Smorgasburg numerous times and always noticed the looooong line at Mighty Quinn’s, but I was never wiling to wait since there were so many other options. On my most recent visit, while my hubby waited for food somewhere else, I decided it was time to wait for Mighty Quinn’s.
The line was long, probably about a 30 minute wait, but to be honest I don’t know why it takes so long since there are not a ton of options for people to ponder over. Maybe it’s the arrogant guys who think its sly to friend someone at the head of the line and pretend they are with them in order not to have to wait like the rest of us or maybe it’s the MQ gal who chats them up even though they obviously cut.
Anyway, let’s talk about the brisket, it is pretty damn awesome. Melt in your mouth tender. Sandwiches are cut and topped to order. Toppings include BBQ sauce, hot peppers, cucumber slices and onions. Paired with the brisket it’s a little piece of heaven.
I now understand why the long line is always continuous and I may be inclined to wait on it again.

Love this place, how they transform this place from the former German bier bar to this long needed good BBQ place in the east village.
First of all, this place is semi-​outdoor, they kept their window and front door open. The staffs are very friendly and very fast as servicing. The atmosphere is modern, and clean.
The one thing I always order is the brisket sandwich, they alice the meat per order, as they got the order, the cutter would cut the meat up for you, but here the part to impress me. They don’t just cut the meat, but they give you 80%lean, 10% fat and 10% of the burnt end and dices it so it give you a different texture as every bite. Another unique part is they season it with sea-​salt at the end to bring out the meat favor. And you can add more topping to the sandwich to make it extra delicious. If favor ken enough, their homemade BBQ sauces are placed at all tables for your use.

I cant help but drool when I think of Mighty Quinn’s. First saw them while waiting in line for the ramen burger in Williamsburg, they too had a long line. We saw them again the next day at the Smorgasburg in Dumbo and had to try it. At first we were going to get the ‘small’ portion since it was $ 5, but when we saw how small it was compared to how huge the big is, might as well go big! We tried both brisket and the pork. Probably the most tender meat I have ever had! They wiped our bread bun w/​the juices from cutting the meat on their cutting board. Pure deliciousness!!! Totally worth the 30 min wait, and worth the $ 9, worth the hype! If you like bbq, you will not be disappointed!

There’s a problem with food fairs in that you really receive typically smaller portioned food for maximized pricing. Mighty Quinn’s, however, gives me hope that food fairs aren’t about that.
I tried Mighty Quinn’s in April at «Smorgasburg». I ordered the beef brisket and shared a pulled pork sandwich. The way they make their sandwiches really is a work of art, with the excellent meld of fresh flavors and smokey barbecue goodness. It had the right amount of sauce, and a large portion of meat that was cooked near perfectly to BBQ standards. The wait is long but once you get your sandwich (es), you’ll see what all the fuss is about.
I need to try some ribs from them next time.

I made a stop here, mainly due in part to kind words a friend had for these guys. As others noted, there is a good sized line. So, come with interesting people to chat with and a bit of time to kill before you really wish to eat your meal.
The recent visit for me, included an order of the «big» pulled pork sandwich. Even with the long line, they pull the meat upon receiving each order. It is not done in advance. And all though the line takes a bit longer as a result, I have to guess this helps with the integrity/​quality of the meat? They then throw on some coleslaw type garnishment and bbq sauce. It was a little more sauce than I would have expected from a place such as MQ‘s, where they seem to be going for quality. When you have great meat, no need for anything more than a dab of sauce.
The pulled pork was very good, however the young lady who pulled it fresh for my order, also tossed in an inedible piece of the pig in my sandwich. Not merely a fatty piece, but a very tough/​hard piece that would result in someone choking on. Thankfully, I caught it, prior to biting into it and threw it to the side. So, give yourself time if you go here and look carefully at your sandwich.

Best BBQ downtown hands down.
Note this place is cafeteria style do you can go anytime and not have to worry about waiting more than 30 min for a seat.
The BBQ was amazing without being too heavy (not sure how they did that), portions were generous and the beer options are great.
Well be coming back here often to try more of the menu.

On our first trip to Smorgasburg we decided to try the iconic pulled pork roll. It was so good we went back and had the brisket roll as well. Delicious, smokey, messy and 100% enjoyable.
Come do a market stall here in Australia?

This is transported from my Smorgasburg review, but this is THE place to go there.
Mighty Quinn’s has the longest line of the place and it could easily take 15 minutes. It’s a big smoker with two men slicing large hunks of brisket and lamb. They offer a lot of meat for even their small sandwich, a great deal at $ 5. After the meat is packed on a brioche bun, the brisket is served with a BBQ sauce and pickled onions, while the lamb comes with a white sauce and chiles.
The brisket is incredibly tender, but I’ve had great brisket.
Shredded lamb this good though? Never before. It really was packed with a flavor and the burnt bits added so much smokiness and texture.
The last time I went, they were sold out by 4:00. Be early and the wait is worth it.

Two syllables, BRIS-​KET!!!
Ya this stand always has a line, but after you blackout from throwing down one of their brisket sandwiches… you’ll be mumbling, what line!!!
