The Smoky Mug

Very inviting spot on the corner with parking.

In terms of bbq this place is a spot. Moist brisket is good and juicy. Lean brisket is done well. Half chicken is moist and seasoned well. The slaw was delicious and fresh. As far as the hatch chile mac & cheese was saucy but a little lack luster on flavor. Definitely would comeback and eat again

Just needs a few outdoor fans and up the beer selection. Other than that it is an up and coming spot. Try the coffee next door for a win-win!!

Fantastic brisket with perfect bark and rendering. Cant wait to come back hungry and try more. Extremely nice staff that love to talk to you about their craft.

The place is expanding as they grow and scale. Can't wait to see where this place ends up.

A catalyst for the area, and welcoming to all. Extremely friendly staff, never a bad vibe here. Food is good, coffee is good but can at times be inconsistent (specialty drinks sometimes don't turn out as advertised). When busy, parking can get weird but just park and walk from any number of side streets. The biggest area for improvement is crowd control when busy. The cafe side will get packed with people and it's not very orderly. I'd have people get in line through the BBQ side since it's closed in the morning or something.

Just visited for the first time this morning, all I can say is that the food is fantastic, they had plenty of vegan options and non-vegan options too. The cold brew and dirty Chai were great. But, honestly, the best part for me was the staff, everyone was super friendly, well informed about the menus options, and I felt like a regular as soon as I walked in the door. I can’t recommend the place enough.

Our favorite neighborhood spot. Their coffee is delicious, the tacos and brunch are out of this world but DON'T SLEEP ON THE BBQ! Specifically the brisket 🤤 paired with collard greens and the BEST mac'n'cheese in Richmond (it's true!), you'll have yourself an amazing meal. The staff and owners are extremely friendly and welcoming, too. Go there now!!

Very friendly staff. Unique atmosphere. Top shelf quality food at a very affordable price. And banging coffee!

The pulled pork, sausage, hatch chile mac, and the sauces - mustard and vinegar (thicker version - so good), we're all top notch. Good beer and cocktail offerings. A Ranch Water on a warm day is always a fine way to cool down. Can't wait to get back and try the Mexican brunch on Sunday morning!

Get the hatch Chile cream cheese on a bagel and you will not regret it. Coffee is great too. Haven't been for brunch so I cant speak to bbq. But the coffee shop offering is great. Highly recommended.

I didn't eat anything the day I went in because I was informed that they have brisket started on Thursday. I have heard rave reviews about there brisket.

Best brisket in Richmond period. Ribs and pulled pork average.Sausage 4out of 5. Greens good potato salad will make a southern grandma smile. Great service funky upbeat establishment.
