Excellent pizza in Blowing Rock. Service was fast. Prices are fair. Happy to come back agin on the next trip to Blowing Rock.

Mellow mushroom Food: Great white pizza. Really tasty and cooked really well. Had a crispy crust. Service: the staff was friendly and nice. got the food in a timely manner and didn't have to wait super long Ambiance: has a retro / 70s type vibe. Was smaller but had booths and tables to sit at and was pretty clean. Parking: in downtown blowing rock so the parking is on the sides of the street but it's located in the middle of downtown so you can walk just about anywhere and get there easily read more

A somewhat small place from what we could judge, just from the front, in downtown Blowing Rock, NC that was quite busy the evening we dropped in. The decorations and the vibe were eclectic and decorous. Our take out service at the front desk of salad and a bottle of wine was handled quickly, patiently, and quite friendly. All went well and was tasty once we got back to our downtown room at an inn. Not apparently as large a space as other Mellow Mushroom locations, but was quite a pleasant place to go to and to be greeted and treated so well. A place to go! read more

The food was awesome , service was friendly and fast, and the vibe was super cool. If you dig pizza, check this place out when traveling through. If you don't like pizza, stop by and try it!! I think this place will change your mind. read more

Great quirky little hippie place. Great pizza!! Great service! And lots of choices of different beers.

After a long day on the slopes, Mellow Mushroom was the perfect place to wind down. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, exactly what you'd want after skiing. Service was great--our waitress was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The pizza itself was solid, exactly what you'd expect from Mellow Mushroom. I ordered the Mighty Meaty with additional mushrooms, and while the flavors were good, one thing stood out: the mushrooms seemed... raw. It honestly felt like the pizza was pre-made, and the mushrooms were tossed on after the fact rather than cooked with the rest of the toppings. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. Overall, still a good spot to relax and refuel after skiing, but maybe double-check how your toppings are handled if you're particular about texture! read more

Even though it's a chain, the Blowing Rock Mellow Mushroom is our favorite. So much so that on a recent 4 day stay we ate there twice. And drove home 200 miles with leftovers. Everyone knows about the pizza, but the hidden gem at this MM is the really really good fresh salads. Especially the Caesar. With grilled chicken. Hail Caesar! read more

In town for the weekend. Second time we got Mellow Mushroom while in Blowing Rock on separate trips. Their food is fantastic, we got a pineapple pizza, no regrets. We got take out, but the staff was really cooling serving us waters while we waited, the place is its namesake, mellow. I like the chill and laid back atmosphere. Worth a look, check them out. Can't wait to go back, we will. read more

Usually a pretty solid spot. Good beer selection and decent pizza. Lots of seating. Don't bother with the wings.

After a long drive to Blowing Rock, my family and I needed some lunch asap. We found a mellow mushroom in quaint downtown so we had to stop and get some pizza. Our server was super friendly and service was very fast. We ordered the pretzel bites, the Mighty Meaty pizza, and the Kosmic Karma. All of the food was incredible - the pizzas were baked well, had the perfect amount of toppings, and were just the satisfying fix we needed. The pretzel bites were garlicky, cheesy, and the sauce was so delicious we ended up eating it by itself (when we ran out of pretzel bites). This food was honestly some of the best mellow mushroom food I've had, and I've been to multiple chain locations. Would highly recommend if you're in the Blowing Rock area and craving some good pizza. read more

Had to do take out to our cabin but the pizzas were delicious. Thin crust pepperoni special was the bomb!

We usually do not eat at chains but we were in Blowing Rock with our grandson and nothing else interested all of us. I'm not sure of decor for their other locations but this one is rustic with lots of wood and old nic-nacs. We were seated immediately and Paige took our drink order promptly. Our grandson went with the Meatball Appetizer and Garlic Cheese Bread while my wife and I split a small Vegie Pizza. Our food came out in good time and was very good. I'll say I was pleasantly surprised with quality of food. We had eaten at a location in Raleigh before and do not remember enjoying the food as much. Paige checked in with us several times and refilled our drinks. There is one downside to this location. It appears there is only one restroom for male and one for female. This location was busy during our entire time and had a line outside each door. read more

We had a great time at mellow mushroom! Our sever Fiona was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We loved the new queso dip and the golden goose beverage - Connor made us some great drinks at the bar! 10/10 would come again!! read more

I stopped in on my way through town and ordered some Buffalo Wings and a Beer, both of which were extremely satisfying :) I didn't realize it was a pizza place and wasn't in the mood for pizza, so I ate my appetizers and moved on. I would like to go back to try their pizza sometime when I'm craving a tasty pie! read more

For being a "chain" pizza place, I was very pleasantly surprised how good their pizzas were! Not your typical ingredients and portions were huge, no skimping for sure. My husband and I ordered a small vegetarian with sausage and only finished half the pizza which is pretty unusual. Free bread pretzel bites for Yelp check in, well worth doing! Many assorted beers on tap. read more

EXCELLENT pizza, carefully prepared, and entirely DELICIOUS. The staff is courteous, professional, and GREAT. Quite the contrast to some of the MM locations in Charlotte. Be proud, Blowing Rock Mellow Mushroom. You're doing a GREAT job making GREAT pizza! read more

My husband and I visited Mellow Mushroom with my brother and his wife while in Blowing Rock for a long weekend. You really can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. While I'm not gluten-free, I'm trying to eat lower carbs, so I did a make-your-own pizza with their gluten-free crust (made elsewhere, and not cauliflower-based) with pesto sauce, artichokes, and roasted tomatoes. They were very generous with their toppings, and I really liked the crispy crust. I'd definitely get this again! My husband's Mighty Meaty was amazing, and I had to try some of the delicious crust. Our server was friendly, and service was very fast. We did go early on a Friday afternoon, so I expect the waits are longer during prime dining hours. We'll definitely return! read more

Stopped by Mellow Mushroom in Blowing Rock this afternoon for a quick bite to eat while hanging out and shopping. Of course I've been to Mellow in several areas but this one just hit differently. We had to coolest waiter. College kid named Connor. Friendly guy, awesome attitude and great recommendations for several items in the menu. My wife absolutely loved him. The kid has a bright future. On to the food. I had never had the Pacific Rim. The pineapple and jalapeño really set it off. My wife had the GF crust on the Mighty Meaty. She said it was outstanding for GF pizza. Anyway, if in Blowing Rock and you're feeling like pizza, check out the Mellow Mushroom. Maybe you'll get lucky and have such an outstanding, cool waiter like we did. read more

Yum, even with a 50 minute wait. It was worth it. Great service, clean bathrooms and fantastic pizza. I also loved the drinks. read more

The BEST mellow mushroom I have been to hands down. We took a camping road trip to Boone, north carolina & stopped here on our way back home. Their draft beer menu had so many options including a couple of their own flavors to try. We opted for a new IPA & it was refreshing & unique. We each ordered our own small pizza, and the best part is they still honor "oldies" from past menus, so my boyfriend got the maui pizza, and I got the veggie with pepperoni add on. Both of our pizzas were filled with toppings, so nice! read more

What a weird experience. This was unlike every other Mellow Mushroom I've been to. It felt like it was 80 degrees inside on a 65 degree and sunny day. We checked into the host stand for dinner - they sat the group of 4 behind us who also checked in after us first. So I went back to the host stand, to the same hostess who we talked to earlier and finally got seated. This location is supposed to have a children's menu(as all other MM's I've been to do), no dice. Just a recommendation for pretzel bites or a small pizza. I got a Caesar with chicken - hands down the wettest salad I've ever received. My wife had the house with chicken and it was fine. The kids had pretzel bites with a beer cheese sauce, it wasn't until we asked if there were other options that they said we could get marinara.... They're kids, what 6 or 8 year old wants a beer cheese sauce for dipping. The QR code for beer was inaccurate with the first 2 beers we asked for being killed the day prior according to the server. All in all, the worst $100+ family dinner I've had in a long time. read more

First of all it was long wait but that's not the restaurant's fault because it happened to be very crowded at the time. Service was great especially our waiter who asked our table if the reason we did not want onions was an allergy and offers to prepare the WHOLE meal different. The whole restaurant had a 70's hippie vibe with numerous drug and substance references "groves vibes" you could say. The cheese bred was really good like wise the meatballs I would definitely eat this agin. Now the main food was good for me although the half portion that was going to be small was massive all in all it was a good experience. read more

We have such a great MMBR story. On a Friday night at another restaurant (see my review for Over Yonder) we struck up a conversation with the couple next to us. Through the conversation we found out they opened the first MM outside of Georgia in Boone, NC. A few years later they opened the BR location. We told them we were headed to BR the next day. They said if we were to go by the restaurant to stop in and say hi to their son, who runs that location. We did and he was just a delightful as his parents. We enjoyed our meal greatly (pizza and a sub). Our server was friendly and attentive. Sitting outdoors was great as you are near, but not on, the sidewalk and can people watch. If we're ever back in the area we'd stop here again. Not necessarily because the food and service were good, but because clearly the folks who own and manage this location are great people. read more

Very good pizzas, and clearly well visited by the locals because it's always busy in the evenings. Ordering online for pickup or curbside is easy, and the ingredients from this location always seem fresh and taste good. Servers are very friendly and always willing to help. I would argue that it's a bit expensive, but I guess I've gone back a few times so your mileage may vary. read more

Six adults and six children descended upon the Mushroom for lunch. We all enjoyed a variety of items. I had the veggie sandwich with Portobellos, artichokes and cheese. Most of the rest of the group shared pizzas. The Shiitake slice I tasted was deeply flavored with mushroomy goodness. Two of the group enjoyed special peach margaritas and then ordered a second round. I had a sip of the interesting pineapple rum and turmeric cocktail, but remained happy with my sweet tea. Next day reheated pepperoni slices tasted just as good as they had at the restaurant. Staff was efficient and nice to all the kids. There was one error--a Stromboli with only cheese instead of steak arrived at the table. They left the cheese one with us, made the steak one, comped us on both, of course. Nicely run establishment. read more
