It doesn’t take more than a second after walking into Mudsmith on Lower Greenville to realize that owner Brooke Humphries, who is also the mastermind behind Acme F&B, Barcadia Bar and Grill and It’ll Do, is doing something very, very right. The first clue is that there is never — and I mean never — a dull moment. At any given time between opening at 7 a.m. and closing at 11 p.m. (after midnight on Fridays and Saturdays), you will find a room cram-packed with an eclectic crowd clogging up table space for various reasons — working, chatting or just hanging around looking hipster. It’s hard to believe the place just opened in January. Mudsmith is marketed as a “craft coffee” venue offering raved-about Four Barrel coffee, but it has another secret weapon — its sandwiches. “I honestly wasn’t expecting the sandwiches to be such a hit,” Humphries says. The sandwiches were “born and raised” at Acme and then implemented into the kitchen at Mudsmith. They’re made fresh daily, usually four or five at a time, and they go fast. After all, how could something like the Thanksgiving Turkey, the Pastrami on Rye or the Jalapeno Meatloaf sandwich not be a big deal?
