Tampeños might get a little frustrated with all of the New Yorkers moving down here, but this Brooklyn-based barbecue chain might get a warmer welcome.

Popular barbecue chain Mighty Quinn’s recently announced its first Florida location, which will debut this month at 202 N Dale Mabry Hwy. at the old Don Pan International Bakery. Its grand opening takes place on Saturday, Oct. 22, where first customers will get the chance to win tickets to a Buccaneers home game.

Tampa’s upcoming barbecue spot will also make Mighty Quinn’s history as the brand’s first-ever drive thru, in addition to both indoor and outdoor seating.

“As Mighty Quinn’s continues its national franchise expansion, we are thrilled to open in Tampa Bay with our first drive-thru location in what will be the first of many restaurants in Florida,” says Mighty Quinn’s Co-CEO Micha Magid. “Drive thru lanes have become a valuable attribute to fast casual real estate and we are fortunate our franchisees were able to secure this premium location in the fast-growing Tampa market.”

A press release said 10% of sales from Mighty Quinn’s grand opening will be donated to Metropolitan Ministries, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping houseless folks in the greater Tampa area.

Mighty Quinn’s offers straightforward barbecue fare like spare ribs, brisket, half-chickens, wings, sausage, and pulled pork & bean or brisket empanadas. There’s also different platter options where guests can mix and match proteins and sides to build their ideal BBQ spread.

Popular sides include sweet corn fritters, burnt end baked beans, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and broccoli salad.

The Brooklyn-based company signed a multi-unit deal with local franchisers TBBQ Group LLC, so we can eventually expect more Mighty Quinn’s locations to pop up throughout Tampa Bay. Alongside Tampa’s soon-to-open barbecue spot, Mighty Quinn’s has locations throughout New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
