Mellow Mushroom

Being accustomed to Chicago pizza, I’m sceptical about pizza from almost anywhere else. We ordered the Maui Wowie pizza & a house salad. The salad was an iceberg mix, much like what you’d find at a grocery store, with 2 slices of tomato. The pizza wasn’t bad — good toppings on a crisp, bubbly crust. I would come back for the pizza but it’s not anything I’d go out of my way for.
The place was fairly empty when we arrived except for the bar. Drinks seem to be a big thing in the South but the beer selection was pretty generic. Out hostess was attentive & there were no problems with service.

Service was slow, took 30 minutes before we got our drinks. Saw HUGE cockroach on the floor, no toilet paper in the bathroom. I’ve been there before, and it’s been fine. Bad experience.

Food is good but not great. Better pizza than most places in Macon but not the best in my opinion. Awesome wide variety of food along side their pizza including dessert options. Knocking them for slow albeit friendly service. Not having any «beer club» membership cards when we came and serving some of their beers in 10 ounce pours. Trivia on Tuesday is also available at the Macon location which is pretty fun.

I am not sure why this place got such bad reviews. After 4 hours of driving, we were very happy with the service. It was not super busy, so that may have been a continuing factor.
Travelled with our pet, so we asked for outside seating. It was perfect. Being seated outside meant that the bar tender had to wait on us. I was a bit concerned since I knew he would be pretty busy. He actually did an amazing job and even bro it out bet a bowl of water. He was a 5-​star server.
The food was delicious and all the select pies were amazing; I don’t think you can go wrong with any choice. I will definitely go back to Mellow Mushroom.

The food was great here but the service isn’t. They forgot us both times we went and we had to wait for forever to get our pizza. We had to speak the manager and never came back. It’s a nice clean place but the service isn’t.

Always get Togo and service is great. They always check to make sure the order is correct. Great food.

After Ingleside, my favorite pizza joint in Macon.

Really good service, just north of Macon right off highway. Tremendous bar service.
Food above average, salads wonderful and hummus a staple! Pizza good but not amazing.
A first stop when I am in town for training at fire academy

Food was very good. Spicy specialty pizza was awesome. Facility is nice clean bathrooms. Servers after 2 times in 3 weeks seem to get lost after they serve you food. Waiting a very long time for refill (no ice) and the check. Price is good but the waiting is no fun. It’s not normal for mellow mushroom because the lake oconee Greensboro ga. mellow is always right on time.

Had a great time last night at this location, the pizza was great and the service was excellent also. Will definitely be back, I am very impressed.

Tonight when visiting I was disappointed from the start when meeting family to dine here with their 85 health code score. After closer inspection of the rating it was due to things involving proper temperature of food (hello food poisoning possibility) and other not so minor things in my eyes. On this occasion the men’s bathroom also did not have any functioning sinks. Gross! It didn’t help that the staff was not concerned about the sinks because the parts have been ordered and it should be fixed in a couple days. Additionally was disappointed when our pizza order was incorrect (it happens) but just another fail on top of all of it. Eat here if you aren’t concerned that male patrons and probably many of the male employees aren’t washing their hands and you aren’t concerned with health code violations.

Good food. We got the house special, stuffed portobello mushroom app, and the Greek salad with grilled chicken. Everything was great. Service was good. Food took a little longer than desired but I was also very hungry! All in all it was a good experience and the food was yummy!

They were unimpressed that we showed up at 9pm on a Friday night (they don’t close until 10pm) and the place was packed.
Chef on the line looked at us and shook his head the second we were inside the door.
Hostess was not friendly. Didn’t say hello, didn’t say a word just grabbed the menus and started walking… Ok, so do we follow you? Are you checking to see if it’s clean? Are you annoyed and walking away– which is it? (5÷29÷15)
We had been traveling all day and we just wanted to eat and this was one of the closest places to our hotel.
Fiancé’s pizza was burned so badly on one side you couldn’t bite through the crust… you couldn’t even cut through the crust with a serrated knife.
Polar opposite experience from the Mellow Mushroom experience we had in Gatlinburg, TN.

Great beer selection The pizza is one of a kind. Order some appetizers go can’t go wrong. Stopped by here on overnight for business. Brent was my bartender. Great guy, he loves his job and he makes you feel welcome. I ordered a few brews, hummus, and the mellowterranean pizza. You won’t be disappointed in the food or service!

I love this place! Discovered it in Conyers. Went to Milledgeville one about a year ago. Usually the chain restaurants vary from location to location as far as quality is concerned. Not here. I’ve been just as pleased with each one. Consistent quality food with a big menu, including «bad» food as well as numerous healthier, such as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-​free selections available – all delicious with really fresh ingredients and great service! Lunch today was wonderful. We will be back as it is so close to home.

Delicious Gluten Free Pizza.
Kids had sausage and pepperoni.
My wife and I shared a vegan pie.
Pesto, spinach, mushroom with daiya fake cheese. Very tasty! I highly recommend this place.

Loved this place! Not very many places you can order a non dairy daiya cheese pizza with all kinds of veggies. Great relaxed atmosphere. Service was outstanding.

The servers are super nice, the food is consistently good and served fresh and hot. Good menu selection– they have lots of vegetarian and gluten free choices too. Hubby loves their calzones, which can get a bit pricey but are so huge they could feed a small country (or just my husband). Their pizzas are yummy, their sandwiches (a half is plenty big!) are what I usually get (tempeh or tofu ftw!) They are kid friendly which is a plus. My friends and I come here probably at least once a month and are never disappointed.

Visited on 4^th of July weekend.
Let me start by saying that I’ve been to many Mellow Mushroom locations before, in and out of my own state. There’s a baseline that the chain has established.
Place looked busy from the outside, but was less than half full when we walked in.
We were seated fairly quickly. Ordered in a reasonable amount of time.
Our waitress hit the basics, but was not outstanding. The kitchen was loud and obnoxious (open kitchen… not sure if this is a new setup in the more recent builds or not).
We waited a good amount of time for our food to show up, but our drinks stayed full.
I ordered a Portobello Reuben, which arrived hot, but sloppily assembled. It was good to fine, and all the flavors were in place.
My brother and sister-​in-​law ordered some calzones. Aside from being a tad on the greasy side, crustwise, very solid and full of ingredients and cheese. Appetizing, even.
Where they really screwed up was my wife’s shrimp po-​boy.
Holy Cow. I’ve never seen shrimp overcooked so badly. There’s underdone, done, rubbery… and then there were these shrimp.
You could say they were rubbery, if the rubber we’re talking about exists in a superball.
So hard, so unyielding. So bad. They were covered with Cajun seasoning so thick that the one or two she managed to give a chance disgusted her. She tried eating the bread, but the sandwich was a lost cause.
Maybe it was the holiday weekend, maybe it was the kitchen staff, but our experience here was not a good one.
Why not ask for a refund? I wasn’t sure I’d want to meet the manager of this place.
It had a significantly rougher vibe than any other restaurant we visited in Macon over the holiday weekend, and they don’t have to worry about us rejoining them the next time we come through.
This was enough to almost put my wife off Mellow Mushroom as a chain.

After a week of chasing storms, eating at tiny diners, my team needed a good meal. One of us had been to a Mellow Mushroom before and recommended it. Seeing a free app for checking in and the deep draft beer selection sold it for me.
As I was curious about the brews from local Georgia breweries (which I’ll review separately) our server gave me samples before I ordered. The cheese bread was delicious and if a less squeamish eater among us wasn’t there we’d have tried the version with the the three olive tapenade.
When our Magical Mystery Tour arrived it blew my socks off. The jalapenos gave a nice amount of heat to the earthy mushrooms and pesto. The crust was hearty, chewy, and had a beautiful texture. I haven’t had feta on a pizza, but it’s going to be a more common ingredient in the future! Someone needs to bring a Mellow Mushroom to Michigan. Hello, Ann Arbor?
