I'm ruined for life after having bbq in Kansas City. This place was alright though. Brisket was tender but could have used more flavor and I didn't think their bbq sauce was that great. One piece was much too fatty but overall it was pretty good brisket. The sides and cole slaw were okay and burnt end beans- good but too spicy. Wouldn't return for what he had but might to try the pulled pork.
My friend and I walked by Mighty Quinn's on our way to another cafe nearby, and though we had originally intended to go elsewhere for dinner, the memory of the BBQ smell drew us back here.
We came here on a Saturday night at around 8PM. There was a line that almost reached the door, but it also moved fairly quickly (~15 minutes). We weren't sure if 1/2 a pound of brisket would be enough for the two of us, so we almost asked for the whole pound – later, we were so glad we hadn't. The red peppers aren't that spicy, so don't be scared! The slight spicyness really adds to the rather heavy and salty BBQ flavor.
We also got the dirty fries and broccoli salad on the side. I had expected the broccoli salad to have been drenched in mayo or something like that, but it was surprisingly non-greasy and actually tasty! I loved the nuts mixed into the salad. The dirty fries were quite good as well, though it didn't help too much with the overall saltiness of the meal haha.
The meat was definitely the best part of the meal. Parts of it literally just melted in my mouth.
Didn't get a chance to taste the food but that's because I waited 30 minutes in line behind 4 people. Sure there was a couple of girls making a huge order but as a restaurant you should figure out how to handle that without coming to a standstill.
I'll stick with Hill Country. No one has time to waste on someone else's inefficiency. Things always happen but how you react when they do is what matters.
A mighty fine cure for your Texas barbecue blues. Mighty Quinn's NY / NJ franchises are comparable and I dare say better than Texas's Rudy's BBQ. The brisket is moist and has a fine bark. It comes on that familiar red butcher paper or in a sandwich with all the fixins'. At less than $10, it is a steal at NYC pricing. Splurge and get a side of crispy pomme frites.
One thing hubby and I have never done while traveling is eat at a casual BBQ restaurant. Normally, we go all out and hit several fine dining places, but we were watching some show on Food Network or Cooking Channel (one of the two) and Mighty Quinn's was featured (very well, I might add) and that sealed the deal. Hubby called and made reservations.
Turns out, this is wayyyyy more casual than expected. There was no hostess, so no one checked us in for our reservation. However, it wasn't crowded so we could order right away anyway. You go through the line and tell them what you want and when you get to the end of the line, you pay for it. Easy peasy.
Hubby got the Brontosaurus Rib, which is an embarrassingly large piece of meat. I ordered the pulled pork and broccoli salad, then we split and order of dirty fries. First of all, the meats were tremendous. Such a delicious, indulgent flavor. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Broccoli salad was good, but nothing out of this world. But the Dirty Fries – holy moly! These were smothered with burnt ends, scallions and chili-lime sauce and were so heavenly, I could have pushed everything else aside and eaten just those all by myself. For real, don't bother with any other sides – just order Dirty Fries!
Very good meal. And it was kind of nice to have something casual for a change. We might have to incorporate that idea more often!
Mighty Quinn's offers some delicious bbq. The brisket and ribs are definitely a winner. The puled pork in combination with their sauce is great. The pickled veggies are well done.
This mighty quinns has the most generous servers by far. Every time I go there, I get a generous portion of food and last night was no different.
As per usual, I ordered the half chicken and the sweet potato casserole (which I learned is not gluten free since I guess they put flour in it, along with pecans and maple syrup). It was super filling and tasty.
The servers were helpful and accommodating (I always ask them to weight out my half chicken, since I always have left overs the next day and can more accurately determine how much I ate).
We went with a large group, which mighty quinn's communal tables suited perfectly. They also have a small private room off to the side, if it's cold outside and want to get as far away from the door as possible.
Sooo good – I had the pulled pork with a side of baked beans an ALL the pickles and slaw. It was more than enough and I even had leftovers the next day. I want to have the brisket again but the pork is a must-try!
