About The Smoky Mug

The Smoky Mug in Richmond, VA, is a cozy spot with friendly service, known for its tasty and affordable bagels. Their breakfast options include a delicious breakfast burrito with crispy bacon and a refreshing dirty chai latte. The restaurant stands out for its smoky meats, particularly the brisket and burnt ends, which many customers praise as some of the best around. The popular brisket taco, priced at $11, is similar to a sandwich and comes with chips and beans as excellent sides. The meats are true to the name—smoky and flavorful—though some may find the taste intense.

Seating is available outside only, with picnic tables provided, making takeout a good option unless the weather is nice. The decor is welcoming and cozy, perfect for a quick breakfast or a casual lunch or dinner. The staff are very friendly, and the outdoor seating creates a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the food. This BBQ and Coffee shop is great for a Sunday morning recovery or a Friday afternoon pick-me-up, and it's so good that it even needs its own north star to light up when they’re open. Plus, it’s dog-friendly!

Customers have noted the incredible food, with many dishes like the smoky wings and burnt ends receiving high praise. The outdoor area is perfect for hanging out or working, making it a versatile spot in the neighborhood. The owner is active in the community and hosts various events, creating a strong foundation for the restaurant's presence. The rewards program also adds a generous touch, encouraging guests to return and explore more of the menu.

I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!

I had high expectations with all the great reviews and the breakfast burrito tasted fine, but it was so tiny, it could fit in the palm of my hand. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I was disappointed
