Mellow has always been my go to for great prices on drinks and bar food late at night. The bartender literally gave me my first legal alcoholic beverage on my 21st bday, but tonight was just sad. Finished a long shift bartending at my own place, sat at the bar, ordered a shot and a whole order of jerk wings. After the wings were dropped I had no contact with any of the staff for around 30 minutes at which point I was long finished with the wings and dying for just a simple glass of water (those wings aren't exactly mild). Once I was one of the final guests left (on a night where I overheard one of the bartenders say it was a slow night), I was finally able to order a beer and cash out. Seemed like the staff was more interested in going home asap than doing the bare minimum of their job description and serving a customer water. If someone would have just checked up every once in a while I would have order at least another 2 drinks which would mean a higher tip and more sales, as someone who works in the same exact industry I consider my expectations to be lower than the average person but the effort clearly wasn't there tonight...very disappointed... read more

I have been to several Mellow Mushroom locations and recommended this place to my co-workers. It was by far the worse experience I have ever had. A group of eight people and very few other customers we received poor service. It took a while to receive our drinks and once we got our food after waiting for over an hour, several personal pizzas were delivered to our table UNCOOKED. They returned their pizzas and the second pizzas they brought back were not what they order. They still even charged those guest. Several guest had major stomach aches from the uncooked food. A big disappointment for Mellow Mushroom. read more

Decent craft beer menu, love the mystery beer! Really good lunch special. +Gluten-free options. Decent servers who appear pretty mellow just like the name implies. Fun senses of humor abound (if you like dry humor). The menu isn't spectacular so I burn out on this place quickly, although I do enjoy it each time I go. read more

Awesome pizza, consistently horrible waitresses. If you decide to try it out, order it to go! We have eaten in a few times at different locations and the wait staff is always awful. We only get delivery or take out these days. read more

Friend and I went for lunch, used a groupon, a little pricey for lunch but our server Dante was awesome, just the perfect amount of mellow/chill and attentive/professional, the apitizer and pizza was really good. I don't know if it's always like that but go around 1-2 in the summer and it's really quiet and great place to have lunch in peace. read more

We went there after a spring training game on a Sat. It was probably around 5:00 p.m. and not crowded at that hour. We went in and sat at a booth by the bar. I scanned the chalkboard list of beers (not even close to a list of all the beers they had on tap). I asked the bartended if I could taste the nut brown ale and he immediately poured me a sampler at no charge (as it should be everywhere). It was a bit bitter for my taste but our waiter had suggestions for us. One of us said he like Shock Top (I know, I chastised him for his beer preference) and the waiter immediately suggested a Hef that my friend said was quite good. I said I like Newcastle and he suggested a brown ale which was excellent. A third member of our party selected one of the multiple porters available. We ordered two pizzas, one with all meat on 1/2 and a specialty pizaa on the other half. The other was 1/2 carne asada with kalamata olives (that has to be the most creative combination on a pizza that I've yet come across), the other 1/2 chicken, artichoke and garlic. The crust on both pizzas was very good, thick but not overly filling. The staff all seemed really friendly and casual. If they're students (this is near ASU) they didn't come across as smug hipsters or anything of that sort. They were genuinely friendly to us (3 40+ year olds and one teenage girl). read more

For being a pizza joint...they don't have good pizza. Cardboard like crust and super dry meats especially the chicken. I keep going back thinking it was an off day but I continue to be disappointed so I'm done with their pizza. 48 beers on tap...that may keep me going but that's it. read more

First restaurant my family and I went to. A little pricey but overall was extremely satisfied with the great tasting pizza. Good service and great 1st impression of Tempe! read more

I had just gotten my hair colored purple and then met up with a friend at Mellow. I got there first and spent the five minutes I had alone taking selfies of my new fun purple hair and the lighting was SO GOOD in the bar area. My hair girl was so impressed with my selfies. Thanks Mellow Mushroom for the lighting. ;) read more

Today was my first time going there and I won't be coming back.. I didn't even get to eat the food so that was a bummer.. I went there with my husband and toddler today and it wasn't even busy in there so I figured we'd get our food fast and explore Mill Avenue. We asked to sit outside and there was another small group of people there as well. A few minutes after we were seated the server just barely ordered their drinks, she never greeted us to say she would be a moment, nothing. So I waited.. when she brought their drinks she never looked at our table (we were right next to them, what are we, ghosts?!) and she walked back inside. That ticked me off, so that's when I got my phone out and put the timer on, I told my husband she has five minutes to greet us, something, or we are walking. I got up, looked at her from the window and made direct eye contact and she looked away. She came out, I got excited, she is finally coming over.. nope, goes back to the group right next to us so they can order and she walked right back inside. I was pissed, I told my husband that we should just go, I grabbed our stuff and that is when another group was seated outside... Good luck to them, hopefully they got to eat. We ended up eating at Steak and Shake across the street.. I'd highly recommend going there. read more

Best pizza ever! The crust is amazing. I recommend the magical mystery tour with chicken and a frosty local draft beer. Will be back.

If you are into craft brews, this is your place. Hence the 5 stars. Places in the Phoenix area have too much water (Bud, Bud light, Coors). When I hear a server list those beers after asking what they serve, I just cringe. Not a problem here, with 50 beers on tap. Half off at happy hour too! read more

First time being in your shop due to recommendations, brought hubby along with me and was welcomed by a very RUDE hostess. I believe her name was Alex or Alexis. Had a very snappy attitude with me, was rushing me as if she had other better things to attend to other than customers. When there were only about 4 people in the store. As I expressed myself and telling her no need to be rude I hear her mutter some horrible comments under her breath as she walks away. Not impressed, walked right out. Will NOT recommend to anyone. She should drop her attitude at the door. After all she is the first person people see and first impressions cant get a " do over " read more

They have a great happy hour where all appetizers and drinks are half off. The bartenders are great especially Nate. He always goes above and beyond. I love this place, must check it out. read more

Solid food with a pretty awesome drink selection. Hit this place up if you want to have a ton of tasty carbs under your belt!

My husband and I stopped by for dinner last night. We had the Greek salad and Kosmic Karma pizza. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Greek salad was OK, but I really liked the pizza. We were looking for a Margarita type but the Kosmic was close and maybe a little better with the pesto sauce on top. read more

One of the best happy hours on Mill. They also have reverse happy hour. Their parmesan pretzels are amazing, and the pizza's are not too bad either. They have great sandwiches and a good beer selection. I would not suggest their bloody-mary's, but over all reasonably priced and a good place to eat! read more

Hunter is very knowledgeable. She made my experience at Mellow Mushroom pleasurable. Its not often you find to enjoy a brew and find a server who puts the cherry on top of the of experience. Recommend to go to Mellow and ask for Hunter. She also looks like becca from californiacation read more

We sat at a table in the bar area and no one came. As we were leaving I told Matt the bartender that no one came and he said it was bar service only. I said he missed out on a large tip and he held up a peace sign to me. They don't appreciate your business here, especially Matt. Very unfortunate because I've been here many times, but I won't be coming back. read more

Atmosphere is really cool...a lot of awesome local artwork. Pizza is delicious and they have a ton of local beers on tap. Too bad the service absolutely sucked. We stood at the front waiting to be sat while every server stared at us. After getting seated it took a while for the server to get to us and get our drink orders taken which was not a big deal because it was lunch rush. A simple, hey I'm busy I apologize about the wait would have been nice though. Ordered 2 sandwiches and a small pizza which took 1 hour and 20 minutes. Not so happy at this point since the place has cleared out by now. Manager came over and took 50% off my sandwich since I waited over an hour to get the wrong thing which was nice of him but the bill was still $46 after that. I asked him what a normal ticket time is for a sandwich and he said 10 minutes...weird. Moral of the story....order to go! read more

Went here on a Saturday afternoon, around 2, for a lunch date, and I was surprised to be seated right away. The place has a pretty cool atmosphere. It's kind of like a modern contemporary art scheme. The big front window is fun to look out and watch all of the Mill Ave...people. I got the Mega Veggie, seeing as my girlfriend is a vegetarian. A lot of the pizzas are vegetarian friendly, but we decided to go big or go home. It had anything from onions and peppers to broccoli and it even had pieces of tofu on it. It was amazing! The crust is great. Crunchy and garlicky/cheesy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. It was a bit pricy, 30 bucks for a pizza and 2 drinks, but well worth it. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

Lack of management or possibly no management on the property. Had issue with uncooked dough inside pizza, server returned with $5 dollar gift card to replace a $20 inedible pizza. Server stated manager told her to bring it to us. Manager never attempted to speak with us or resolve issue. With a check back from the server or even a present manager we could have enjoyed the experience. Instead we waited 20 plus minutes to express the issue. Poor service, poor food quality, and topping it off poor management. Thanks for the $5 dollar gift card but you can keep it! read more

I have been to this place twice in the past 3 months, and experienced the same disappointments both times, First, we were sat in the bar area where all of the wait staff stands around blabbing as if customers were actually interested in their conversations. Second, I ordered the Tempeh sandwich - the only thing on the menu I like - and it was unavailable both times. Instead, I order the Portobello and cheese sandwich, which is okay but not worth 9.99, Third, it took at least 20 minutes to get any food, and fourth, the last time, the wait person brought me roast beef instead, and this time the person brought the wrong sandwich to a somebody in my party. Nobody I know will go back to this place. read more

Friendly service, but not great food. The waitress said they are famous for their pizzas and their beer. We were not drinking the day we ate there, but I certainly hope their beer is better than their pizza. My boyfriend ordered a plain pepperoni and the red sauce tasted like straight tomato paste. I ordered a Mellowterranian and it sounded super on the menu, but was seriously lacking flavor! We also had a half order of pretzels (very bread-like - did not have that soft pretzel flavor) and the beer cheese seemed to be more beer than cheese. Anyway, we checked this restaurant off our list finally... needless to say, we won't be rushing back anytime soon. Bummer. read more

love this place great food, friendly helpful serves, strong drinks 48 craft beers on draft and, great happy hour 3-6 and reverse happy hour 10 - 2. read more

Mellow mushroom is awesome. They have great happy hour from 3-6 and 10-close which is half off all alcohol and munchies. They have great wings. read more

Been here twice, first time for a work meeting, had a pizza and /shrug wasn't anything I would rave about. Second time was a much different story. Tried the Tempeh sandwich, not even knowing what tempeh was, but wow, glad I did! I am not a vegan, vegetarian nor do I typically order tofu type items off a menu, however, this sandwich is enough to keep me interested in going back. read more

I tried the normal pizza which was the Margaret's, it tastes good and i recommend everyone to eat from this Restaurant.

First visit here was because of a groupon. $10 for $20 It was totally worth it! The pizza was good. We ordered a large because you do have to use the whole groupon in one trip. It was great reheated in the following days. The dough is yummy and not greasy. We had half cheese and the other half pepperoni, sausage and onion. We also had the pesto swirl over the whole thing. My only issue was the poor bartender trying to wait on the lunch crowd. Too many tables not enough of him. read more

We were at the art festival today and decided to come in here for lunch. The food was ok. Nothing special. If you want pretzels, don't order theirs. It was just dry pizza dough in the shape of a pretzel. My biggest reason for writing this review was the fact that we ordered 3 kids meals. They came out in scorching hot plates. Seriously this place is lucky that I'm the one that picked up the dish and not one of the small kids. I burnt the shit out of my fingers. We let the waitress know they were that hot and that we aren't warned about it when they were brought to us and she seemed to not really care. No manager came by to apologize or anything. Really bad......we definitely won't be back. And if you get food for your kids, be careful that they don't get burned. I have a huge blister on my finger from touching the dish. Parents beware!! read more

Great food, friendly staff, The only downside was the volume of the music that caused us to have to yell and ask what did you say all the time. read more

Nothing good to say. My calzone was burned on the bottom and interior was not cooked at all. Still dough. Very little stuffing in it. The marinara was horrible probably out of a jar. I looked forward to the opening now vert disappointed. read more

This place is pretty awesome! I was here for my 25th birthday and it was a really good experience. The manager, I think his name was Dustin, was really great. We sat at the bar and he saw the bartender was pretty busy so he helped out and got us started very quickly. He also recommended me a beer called the Prankqster which was delicious. The buffalo chicken pizza was good and the wings were also delicious. Would definitely go back again! read more

The entire bartending staff, especially Matt, is always very kind and enthusiastic. I've been going here for a long time, and have a lot of respect for the staff there. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Had a great time on sunday with some friends from out of town. Quick prompt service. Selection was good too. Had a few different people helping us, so can't really give credit where its due. We had a good time and thats all that matters. read more

Completely disappointed in the service. Sat down for 5 min without any acknowledgement. Had to ask for menus then had to ask to order. Our beer never came so had to go to bar and get it ourselves. Also asked 3 times to have TV switched to baseball game. Once out appetizer came one plate was dirty. Still sitting here waiting for a drink refill. read more

This place has amazing pizza and a lot of beers on tap! Great place!

First off, I love the food at Mellow Mushroom, however, I will sadly never be returning. The dude bartending last night was absolutely the rudest person I have ever met. He treated my friends and I like idiots. I've never felt more unwanted in a restaurant before. I asked him for some menus and he just starred at me so I asked again politely. The dining area was closed but it was happy hour so my friends and I wanted to get some apps and drinks. Didn't think it would be that big of a deal to look over a menu before ordering at the bar. After giving us attitude, I couldn't help but think maybe he just hates his job or he's used to college kids acting dumb or whatever. So I brushed it off. When my friend tried to close out his tab, he proceeded to tell the bartender that he had a groupon. The bartender ignored him and handed him the bill. My friend then again said oh I'm sorry man i was trying to tell you i had a groupon. The bartended shook his head, crumbled up the bill and threw it on the floor and then went to go apply the groupon. My friends and I were nothing but nice to this guy so it was really confusing as to why he was so upset with us. Anyway, that guy ruined it. It was complete bs and no human should ever treat another human with such disrespect and anger. Never again. Or at least not to this location. read more

The food was disappointing. The spinach dip was pasty and had minimal spinach and no flavor. The calzone was overcooked on the bottom, veggies uncooked and the cheese was not melted on the inside. The meal was a huge disappointment. Great service from the wait staff. Will not return for a future visit. read more

I was there last night around 8 or 830 pm and i noticed something that really made me do a double take I saw two female employees throwing what i think was food to a male employee who was in the kitchen,he was wearing a green shirt and a grey baseball hat. I say I think it was food because he was trying to catch it with his mouth. Not only is that not professional that three employees were behaving in such a manner as to completely disregard customers but to be throwing food into a kitchen i feel is very unsanitary. I hope that the managers will take proper action and see to it that this doesn't happen again. read more
