Breaking BBQ news from Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque. We’ll bring you more on this exciting opening very soon!

Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque (Mighty Quinn’s), the acclaimed NYC-born restaurant known for its all-natural slow-cooked meats, will be opening at The Waypointe in Norwalk (11 Merwin Street). The opening will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Greater Norwalk Chamber and Mayor Harry Rilling on December 18 at 3 p.m., ahead of the grand opening on December 20. As part of the opening celebration, Mighty Quinn’s will donate 10% of all grand opening sales to Norwalk based charity Filling in the Blanks, which works to fight childhood hunger.

For those unfamiliar with Mighty Quinn’s, it was the first authentic barbeque experience in a fast-casual setting after co-founder, Pitmaster, and CT resident, Hugh Mangum smoked brisket and pulled pork out of a mobile smoker hitched to his pickup truck in Williamsburg (Brooklyn). The brand’s process begins with the best, all-natural meats and poultry, seasoned with perfect spice blends and then smoked with wood for many hours until the perfect harmony of smoke, flavor and time emerges.

“With many already familiar with our brand from visits to the city or neighboring locations, we couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce Mighty Quinn’s to Norwalk and extend our passion for elevated barbeque,” said Micha Magid, Co-CEO of Mighty Quinn’s. “We’ve poured our hearts into making several enhancements to the space and creating a welcoming environment for neighborhood friends, families, visitors and the local workforce to enjoy great-tasting barbeque,” added Co-CEO Christos Gourmos.

The new full-service restaurant spans 4,300 square feet and has been thoughtfully redesigned since its days at Bobby Q’s. As the brand’s 15th location, it features a modern bar with custom cocktails, comfortable Hollywood booth seating, big-screen TVs, “The Game Pit” stocked with old-school arcades and shuffleboard and a free parking garage across the street for added convenience. Guests will enjoy an expanded menu with appetizers, salads and signature meats grilled and smoked on-site, adding to The Waypointe’s distinct dining and entertainment space.

Specializing in slow-cooked, smoked meats of unparalleled tenderness and flavor, Mighty Quinn's offers an assortment of meats and an array of delectable sides that perfectly complement each dish. Led by a seasoned pitmaster and executive chef, their culinary team spares no effort in sourcing the finest cuts of meat and meticulously crafting spice rubs and homemade sauces. With its exceptional food offerings and a menu that embodies true barbeque, Mighty Quinn's is poised to become the ultimate destination for barbeque lovers.
