Gowanus Smoked Brisket And Burnt Ends By The Tray

Finding Gowanus smoked brisket means heading to Mighty Quinns Barbeque for rich meats served over the counter. The kitchen slow smokes beef until it turns tender enough to eat without sauce, pairing cuts with burnt ends that carry crisp bark. Spicy barbecue chicken also shares the menu for anyone looking beyond beef.

Diners balance the heavier meats with sides like mac and cheese, brussel sprouts, and pickled cucumbers that add crunch without excess salt. The hand-cut fries stay soft inside while remaining crisp on the outside, making them an easy addition to mid-priced trays. Local beers on tap round out casual lunches and dinners.

Guests place orders at the counter on Third Avenue, where staff carve brisket to order and pack up carryout meals. The room stays open daily from half past eleven AM to half past nine PM, offering counter seating for relaxed neighborhood meals.
