Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque

I came here for lunch on a Thursday with a friend who had been here a few times already. That same friend did warn me that this place is a bit on the pricey side, however when it comes to BBQ, it’s usually worth it.

I can always tell from the aroma both outside the restaurant and then immediately as you walk in. Ahhh, the smell of smoked BBQ. Why isn’t this aroma on a car freshener (or maybe it is).

Service was great – fast and friendly. I ordered the two-meat sampler, with my go-tos of brisket and sausage. I also went with a side of baked beans. I did ask if the sampler meal came with any sides and was told that it came with complimentary pickled vegetables, coleslaw, and corn bread. Once the perfectly weighed meat was placed on my tray, I was then asked by a second staff member whether I actually wanted the “complimentary sides” that it came with. I opted to forgo the pickled vegetables as it’s just not my thing. Once I completed the transaction including the guilt-tipping POS register, I took my soda cup and proceeded to grab a coke zero from the machine and then grab a seat.

The food was decent. The brisket had a really good smoked flavor and was good quality. The accompanying BBQ sauces, however, were a bit too liquidy for my liking, although the Spicy Chile Lime sauce was nice and thick, and rather interesting as well. The cole slaw and baked beans were also a bit too liquidy as well.. I’m noticing a team here. 🙁

Not sure I’d try this place again. It was good, but I don’t think it was $25 good for a lunch. There are certainly better choices.

One word damn. So I have to consider myself a pretty big barbecue connoisseur and I got to say I haven’t in my life very often had brisket. This good. It is fantastic. Slow cooked Black and very moist and very flavorful. If you’re a fan of the burnt ends, I would highly recommend the dirty fries. It is a meal in itself. Don’t skip the pickled vegetables and the slaw, but if you’re forced to pick between the beans and the mac and cheese, I say pick the beans. They’re also brisket beans. So enough about the food. The weight staff is really Cool. They were really friendly and accommodating. I’ve gone there twice on this trip in the last 4 days. Again, not very often. Do you get brisket this good? Don’t miss it if you’re in Tampa and you like barbecue. The only drawback to this place is it is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It’s fantastic and you can get a single combo or you can buy the meat by the pound

Few weeks ago I visited Mighty Quinn’s for the first time and had a great experience overall! I tried the two meat combo with brisket and smoked chicken, and while the chicken was a bit dry, the brisket was absolutely amazing—perfectly smoked with a beautiful smoke ring and the smoke flavor wasn’t overpowering. The cornbread was also delicious and complemented the meats nicely. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made for a great dining experience, and I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!
