Mighty Quinn's started as a small stall at Smorgasburg, the outdoor weekend food market by the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn, New York. In 2012, he opened the first Mighty Quinn’s in Manhattan’s East Village. Fast track to 2016 and the famous smoke barbeque chain will open its second international restaurant from the people behind Ippudo and Yabu (Standard Hospitality Group) here in Manila at SM Megamall Fashion Hall. I and some of my office mates were lucky to be invited on their private tasting event last Thursday, December 8.
We were the first one to arrive at the restaurant and the management gave us a play money worth 800php to consume. You would easily recognized that this is a bbq restaurant because of their rustic decor and furnishing. You need to fall in line first before you could get your order.
Brisket (495php) - The brisket is cooked patiently to render much of the fat from the top cap, moistening even the leaner lower muscle until it gleams. A simple rub of salt and pepper is subdued but effective Paired with dirty rice (the combination of the calamansi and garlic really works well with the rice), the brisket was by far favorite dish that I have tasted. The beef was tender and flavorful and 1 rice is not enough for you to enjoy this food.

Burnt ends (495php) - The taste is almost the same with brisket but this has more sauce on it and people who loves seasoning and strong flavor bbq sauce would definitely love this dish.

Half chicken (485php) - I was also happy that the chicken did not disappoint as well. You could taste the flavor of the bbq even if it's a white meat. People who are into calorie counting would definitely loved this one.

Spare Ribs (495php) - one of the best spare ribs I've tasted. The meat was juicy and even the bones was tasty as well.

Sides (165php) - You can choose from their different side dish namely Burnt end baked beans, sweet potato casserole, buttermilk brocoli salad, potato salad and sweet corn fritters. Special mention to their potato salad, was probably the best potato salad I've ever tasted.

Bread pudding (195php) - Banana pudding topped with vanilla ice cream. The combination of both the pudding complements with the ice cream. It's not that sweet which is perfect to end the sumptuous meal.

Overall, I enjoyed all the food that we ordered. The serving is relatively big so I would suggest to just order one meal to be shared by two people of you don't have big appetite. The crew were also accommodating and always had a smile on their face. Congratulations to Standard Hospitality Group for a successful private tasting event. Will definitely come back to try out the other dish. Mighty Quinn's will be open to public tomorrow, December 13.
