Solid 5 stars here for sure. To be honest I am generally not a big fan of chain restaurants and tend to explore more unique locations. This particular venue is definitely outstanding and here is why: There were 11 of us who just strolled in around lunch time on a beautiful Thursday afternoon. They pulled tables together, smiled and sat us within 3 minutes. Drink orders were quickly taken and quickly delivered. Lunch orders were taken, I ordered the House Special pizza and requested no onions and to add jalapenos, they said no problem. Everyone's order came out quickly and within 3 minutes of each other, they were all correct including my no onions add jalapenos pizza. Drinks were continuously topped off and we were asked if we needed anything and that if everything was okay. Everyone loved their food, my was piled high with goodies and more than I could eat! (They provided a to-go box for those needing them). They are located right next to the Durham Bulls ball field and pardon the pun but they "Hit it out of the park". Please give them a try! 13/10 for sure
I've been to my fair share of Mellow Mushrooms and finally decided to try their pizza here (I'm normally a calzone kinda gal) and holy cow I wish I would have tried their pizza sooner. It was top tier and might be my go-to there from now on.I highly recommend this location.I do wish they had more beer on their selection list but that's more personal preference and not a deal breaker.
Whenever we're either passing through downtown Durham or want a quick good bite Mellow mushroom one of our few "go to" spots. Between food and drinks it can be slightly pricey. However the service is always quick and friendly. And the drinks are cold and the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. So if you're ever just passing through or visiting downtown Durham. This is a great spot to drop by to.
The food wasn’t bad. We went as a group and asked the server to separate our bills between families. The initial bills were correct, but when she took our cards to run the payment she brought back receipts that split the entire table evenly even though some families were smaller. I didn’t want to make a big deal so I didn’t say anything and left a 12% tip because the service wasn’t incredible even before I was overcharged. Checking my statement later, I noticed the server changed my tip to 30%. Maybe it was a simple mistake, but definitely something to look out for here.
If you’re looking for artisan pizza that would make Italy proud, look elsewhere. At a certain combination the ingredients bread, sauce, and cheese become pizza. This place does not have that combo. Maybe the worst traditional pizza out there, some frozen pies I’ve had are better. Two stars for the fact that you can still feed a family of 5 for under $60 directly next to a baseball stadium. I guess it’s worth that.
The food was good, on par with other Mellow locations.Our waitress was not busy, just standing at expo on her phone for long periods of time. We waited 20 or so mins before getting our order taken. Our lunch ended up taking an hour and a half total.Very rude, if you want to be on your phone and avoid your tables at least dip somewhere out of sight.Also, why on Earth were they playing pop country music? Not the vibe I expect from Mellow.
Decided to head to lunch with my daughters and wound up enjoying some wings, pretzel bites, and spinach & artichoke dip. This is hands down some of the best dip of its kind that I’ve had. The little bread that it comes with is all just a great combination. Though not a fan of the beer cheese, the pretzels were actually good with the dip as well. Now let’s talk about those wings ? oh my goodness!!!! I don’t usually clean the bone when I eat chicken EVER but these wings were so amazing and I absolutely recommend…. Lastly the pizza I got the cheese 4 slice pizza and I’m not a fan to say the least. I still recommend this place clearly ?
Had a calzone and a pizza both of which were exceptional. Beer was good and cold. The staff we encountered was excellent.
Awesome food, Awesome service. I highly recommend this place for date night or family night. The prices aren't too bad either ?
the server Ryan was great, we got the wrong pizza bit he kindly replaced it. food was great.
