Been meaning to go here for a while based on all the great things I've heard about The Smoky Mug. I…read morewas not disappointed when I finally had the chance to check them out. The food and service were top notch. We sat at the bar which gave us a good view of all the happening. There is plenty of room to sit inside as well as out. I am a sucker for smoked turkey and was extra excited to hear they still had some. That with the greens and potato salad was the perfect. The turkey was flavorful and juicy. The greens have just the right amount of spice and the potato salad cooled it down. Can't forget to mention the tortillas! So good! I will for sure be back.

The flavor was sweet and tasted amazing! Some of the best ice cream I've had. Definitely swing by during a hot day! Staff were friendly. Parking can be a bit difficult as it's street parking.

I love a gooey sourdough-like bagel. Brookland Park is one of my fave neighborhoods. It's fun to…read moresit at a seat by the window and people watch from Julio's. They also have a cute parklet to sit at outside. The menu is very simple and they have a few options to pick from. I really love their plain bagel. I've tried it with their egg and cheddar cheese and added sausage which I adored. I also tried it a separate time with cream cheese and enjoyed it a lot. If you're here on a weekend, you'll want to come on the earlier side because the line can go out the door. However, things move relatively quickly. The woman who has helped me at the counter each time was extremely sweet. I like that they have Recluse Coffee here. Last time I got a latte and it was divine. On my first visit, I got an alfajor and I have to admit while I haven't found one that reminds me of my faves growing up, it was the best I've had in a long time. A friend of mine got the lox bagel and really liked it. For a Richmond bagel shop, I'd recommend checking this local gem out.

Their coffee is so good since they get their beans local from Recluse. They have a few seats inside by the windows and outside, but I usually just take out.

A must go for super yummy smoothies and juice! The owner here is incredible and super sweet. I…read moreusually prefer to make my own smoothies at home, but I'm always excited to treat myself at this place. The Green Goddess My favorite drink on the menu! I always dream about how good it is. I will add it tasted a little different today versus the three previous times I've gotten it (which I liked more), but it's still good! Seafood Salad I wanted more from this. I was excited to try this vegan salad because I've had a lot of yummy vegan seafood creations. Unfortunately, this one didn't make the cut. I wanted the heart of palm to be prepared a little differently and think I was hoping for seaweed inside.

While both were delicious and made of quality ingredients, $18.03 is a lot to pay for a small juice and a tiny sandwich. For that reason, Ms. Bee's won't likely be a place I'll frequent, but it is a great spot for when you want good, whole food and friendly, warm service.

I plan on trying everything on the menu. My favorite so far is the Big Breakfast. It's plenty of food for a great price. I encourage everyone to check it out. I am there about 1-3xs a week. The prices are lower in-store and I live 3 blocks away anyway. I cant express enough the bang for your buck here. Plus there is something for everyone on the menu. His wife's dish of the day is fire. As a chef I'm always looking for great new foods to try. This place delivers everytime.

The heat was perfect, the coating crispy, and the wedges were always on point. I couldn't come to Richmond without grabbing spicy wings. So when the owner decided to stop making the spicy wings and convert the fry station to breast strip fryers, that was it for me. That spicy recipe was the reason I came. Without it, this just isn't the same place. I won't be back unless the spicy chicken makes a return.
