    The al fresco dining area is amazing - covered tables flanked by a cool playspace for kids accented with colorful art - VERY cool!

    This was the first time we dined in at Mellow Mushroom - we usually order pick-up. It was a GREAT experience, starting with Dwayne, our server who was chill and laser-focused. He was wicked busy ("in the weeds" was the term we used back when I was waiting tables) and we marveled at his attention with each table, and the speed with which the drinks and apps came. The menu lists the Spicy Mango Maragarita, but I'm not a mango fan and asked if I could get a non-mango spicy 'rita - Dwayne assured me that I could get ANY margarita spicy - a great relief and a very tasty spicy drink! The bone-in chicken wings were perfectly seasoned and the side of sweet Thai chili jived perfectly wth the spicy margarita - and Dwayne's spirted presentation was fun! (see pic). The tailored Mighty Meaty pizza (pesto base baked crisply w/ black olives, garlic, topped w/ diced raw onions - the pic can only try to capture the deliciousness visually - ya gotta try this combination y'all! Menu shots are in the pics - but don't skip the AMBIANCE pics- this place is a family fun haven! It accommodates cozy booths like we had, tables surrounding a giant painted mushroom, private party rooms and AL FRESCO dining with a generous safe play space for the kiddos! Mellow Mushroom is the total family fun night venue - check it out for yourself1

    Steak & Cheese Hoagie with tots

    Went for family dinner with two toddlers to this location and of course they loved the vibrant colors and whimsical decorations. Our server was Nate and not sure if he was nervous or just new. He did not get our order correct even after he repeated it back to us we made some corrections and it still did not come out correctly. We ordered the mac and cheese with apples for the kids , half order of the steak and cheese hoagie for me and a half half pizza for my husband. I was told that I could not substitute a side salad for the tater tots that came with my meal. That was the first time hearing that maybe new rules or just this location. Nate tried his best and we really appreciated him. I gave a 3 star because we all had stomach aches not even 20 minutes from leaving the establishment and the only common thing we all had was some of the mighty meat /funky q pizza. Probably will be a while before going back to this location.

    Pizza has not been my staple food item for quite some time however, the pizza and the fresh ingredients that are used here make for a great dinner. The staff are always helpful and friendly and this facility is immaculately clean very good price point noise level is average and speed of service is usually pretty good

    I had a small thin and crispy pepperoni pizza for take out. I arrived before the ready time given on the app and it was ready early. Yes! Although I was in take out mode, I had time to check out the dining area. To me, it has a sort of San Francisco 1960's hippie vibe. Love it. Five minutes later I was back home enjoying a very good pizza. Great sauce and they sprinkled it with parmigiana cheese. I really enjoyed the pizza and I like this chain. It good to go.

    Good - surprised by so many negative reviews Great stone baked pizza - recomend you give a try Dining in this Location was flawless, we walked in, ordered and it was warm and on our table by 8-6 ish minutes decent hygiene and Great staff, my server was great, the atmosphere was good and interesting interior. Mellow mushroom was a bit on the costly side but overall it was an AVERAGE GOOD PIZZA, i asked if they could do half mighty meaty & half pepperoni crust was good and THEY DO NOT cheap out on the meat whatsoever.

    To celebrate the start to our weekend we dropped in for a late dinner tonight while in the area. This place has more mushrooms than Super Mario. An adorable patio to dine outside and plenty of dining room. This restaurant is adorable and a hippie's paradise. It's super psychedelic and zen. The menu is huge and there is something for everyone to enjoy. Our waiter was Sunshine and she was awesome. We decided on the Pretzel bites with beer cheese for a app. You must try it ! We couldn't stop eating. For entrees my daughter had the Small Buffalo chicken pizza and I had the small house pie. Small is a understatement! The serving sizes are humongous ! You'll have plenty to eat the next day Best pizza I've had since relocating to Raleigh from New York ! I also had a bourbon, whisky peach purée flavored cocktail with egg cream !!!!!! Really great cocktail. This place is great for every occasion. Having a full bar is a plus also !!!!

    After my last visit I was weary to return. But after speaking with the manager here, I decided to give it another try. I know right now everywhere is short staffed.... Tonight we went for pizza. And had a much better experience. The wings were absolutely 1000% better. We got a cheese Pizza, The house special, and then another one that I'm not sure of the name. I think it's the wild Havana? Everything this time was so good. Our waitress you could tell was stressed. We observed that she had checking and saving a lot of tables. At least seven or eight. Avoid over Jaxies but we still felt attendant to and like they cared about us. I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of change that I saw! Definitely try this place out. We love the pizza dough. The wild Havana is hands-down my favorite pizza from now on.

    First visit. Ordered online & picked up curbside. Ordered 2 pizza & cheese bread special, and I was not impressed...AT ALL. The pizza sauce was salty on both pizzas & the cheese bread was DRYYYYYYY!! I needed that salty side of tomato sauce just to get that 1 bite down. My friend raves about this place from going to a different one. I was better off going to Dominoes or something. At least the cheese bread wouldn't have almost choked me to death. The service was ok & the online ordering was easy. I may try it again if someone else pays for it again. I am definitely not spending my money on this. Bad first impression for pizza. The chocolate chip cookie, on the other hand, was yummy.

    Being from the New York metro area, I'll admit that I have high expectations for pizza. This was not very good, but not very bad either.

    We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

    Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery…read more Over the Falls features award-winning Specialty Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, Wings & Entrees; plus 12 Craft Draft Beers along with an Extensive Bourbon List, Handcrafted Cocktails & Mules. It's always crowded, does not accept reservations and does not have a bar or inside waiting area. You must register with the hostess, then wait outside (or in your car) until you receive a text that your table is ready. While this is inconvenient and unpleasant, the mouthwatering food is worth the trouble. One of our favorites is the Three Sisters Salad- which includes a generous scoop of either House-made Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad (we chose the Avocado), plus a large mound of Broccoli Salad, Fresh Fruit and a Flakey Honey-drizzled Croissant. Another winner was the Flash-fried Calamari & Banana Peppers. The substantial serving of Rhode Island Calamari was crispy, oh so tender and perfectly seasoned - with Thai Chili and Marinara dipping sauces. We also recommend the Cali Pastrami Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheddar Cheeseburger. Both come with a Pickle & either House-Made Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips, French Fries, Macaroni Salad or Cole Slaw. The NY Navel Pastrami was topped with Fried Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Chipotle Mayo and Avocado and piled high on a flaky, chewy golden brown Pretzel Roll. The big juicy Burger included Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion and several slices of crispy Bacon.

    We went to Milton's on a busy Friday night. We were greeted in a friendly manner by many of the…read morestaff when we arrived. They had a $8 margarita special. I had a strawberry one. I could taste the alcohol and it was yummy. I trued the cielo pasta. It is a seafood combination over a bed of pasta with red sauce. It was delicious. It had clams, shrimp, calamari. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was served super hot. I fell in love. This is my new favorite meal. I had been getting the old bay shrimp for years but yum. I have a new favorite. Great service and reasonably priced food while supporting a non-chain restaurant.

    Maybe it was an off day or maybe I just put too much trust in Wake Forest reviews again…read more My friend and I went during lunch. We were greeted warmly and our waiter was outstanding. He was hard working, always gave refills, and was kind. He was definitely the highlight of our visit. The ambiance is that of an old-school pizza parlor from the 90s, but it didn't feel nostalgic, it felt boring. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I ordered the Milton's Special pizza and it was fine. Nothing to rave about but nothing to want to come back to, either. My friend ordered a pizza as well. It's nice that they have GF options. She wasn't too impressed with her choice, either. It tasted like it could have come from the freezer at the grocery store, it was very generic in flavor. The service was really the best part of our entire meal. 10/10 service, 4/10 food

This no-frills bar is perfect for those that just want to hang out and eat good food. I haven't been to a low-key bar like this before and I loved it. Everyone knows each other and they're all just out for a nice time out. It is an older group, definitely a local's place. There's one pool table that's coin operated if you want to play a round. They also offer karaoke if you're brave enough. Our waiter was awesome, super easy going and nice. Not to mention, he brought me a second tea before I was halfway done with my other one! That right there is an immediate extra star on my review. We all ordered hamburgers. I had the candied bacon and jalapeño cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! I can't believe I've been in WF for almost 3 years and have never tried Mackey's but I will definitely be back. If you want a good dinner with a relaxed atmosphere, Mackey's is a great choice. Support local!
