Reviews for The Smoky Mug in Richmond, VA
Staff is dumb nice. $60 SMALL platter fed three of us with enough left over to feed us for two more meals ? subbing one of two... sausages for another protein was clutch - thank you to the awesome Asian guy who recommended the swap. Paper as plates is notcute, just give me a paper boat you use for sides when asked for side plates lol Read more
Wow. We travel through Richmond about one or twice a year and usually get some bbq. We've had the big names, all very good. ... But today, this place supplants them for me. Cool little place behind a Cafe. Brisket was very good. Great flavor and bark, moist enough. Sausage links are great, lots of herbs and some cheese, very tasty, not spicy. Pork belly burnt ends were prettygood. Good flavor, slightly sweet. Only knock is the sizes were too varied. The bigger ones were cooked right but too big, the small ones were the right size but overcooked and a bit hard. The ribs shined on this day. No need for more sauce. Greatflavor, very complex with lots of seasonings and a tiny bit of the sweet vinegar mustard sauce was already on them. Very juicyand tender without falling off the bone. Sides were top notch. Hatch Chile mac n cheese was very good, real cheese andslightly spicy. Greens had lots of smoked meat in them, nice smokey, vinegary, sweet flavor. I highly recommend to anyone. Great stuff.

The smoky mug is phenomenal. I came around for brunch and had some great chorizo potatoes and chia. I liked that there is a lot... of outdoor seating, these days sitting outside is almost a must if the weather is bearable. The menu is great, alot of uniquecombinations. I can't wait to go back and try something different. Read more
Ultra-creamy mac and cheese...fall-apart brisket...fresh coleslaw that's bursting with flavor...and I can grab a perfectly... balanced iced vanilla latte on the way out? Never realized I needed a place in my life that does great BBQ and killer coffee. Read more

The green hatch chiles on the breakfast bagel sandwich are a game changer. Such a good breakfast spot. Highly recommend.
I went looking for vegan fare. They had overnight oats, a veggie & hummus sammie, and I got the avocado toast on artisan... sourdough with pickled onions. Bravo. The bread is fresh and delicious. The avocado is creamy, smooth, and perfectly seasoned.The pickled onions can be eaten alone! Yum! Wonderful surprise to get this at a BBQ joint! Nom nom nom. Read more
We traveled from Florida to Richmond through flight. Once we landed on Richmond we wanted to have breakfast and we searched near... us. From the reviews and being a cafe we decided to have breakfast from The Smoky Mug. Accessibility and Cafe The Smoky Mug is20 minutes from the airport and they have a parking lot near the cafe where one can park and can directly enter the cafe. Thecafe is beautifully decorated with seating inside as well as outside. Along with the cafe they also have a small cafe whichprovides beer and quick foods. Food and Service Once we entered the cafe we directly went to the register to order the food.From the menu we first started with the drinks which included Dirty Chai Latte & Chai Latte Oat Pumpkin Spice. For the breakfastwe ordered Avocado Toast, Hummus & Veggie, Overnight Soaked Oats which had Peanut Butter & Jelly. The service was good and soonwe got our coffees as well as breakfast. First we got our coffees which were delicious and grounded perfectly. Delicious coffeesto have. Then soon we got our food. Avocado toast was okay. It was not hot although we returned so that it could be remade hotbut still it was same. Hummus & Veggie was delicious and it was made with fresh veggies and perfect breakfast. The overnightsoaked oats with PB& J was also delicious and we took them with us. It was best after the trail. Amazing cafe with goodbreakfast. Read more
