I visited right before a large concert at the nearby stadium and it was PACKED! Despite the huge crowd, our service was great. The order was timely and consistent with other times I've visited. Always great food and a great draft selection.Well done!

I visited on Saturday April 27th. We traveled 30 mins and then rode the train to make an adventure of it. My son has bronchitis so I brought his nebulizer just in case he had a flare up bc he needs a treatment every 2-3 hours when this happens. (Thank God I did) There was a concert in town but the place was not busy at all. I ordered spinach dip for myself and a medium pizza for me and my son. The dip came out within 10 minutes and was great, however the pizza took forever. We waited for 45 minutes and I eventually I asked them to just box it up. While waiting, I had to pull out my son’s nebulizer to give him a breathing treatment because he was coughing so bad and we had been there longer than I expected. The manager Josh did come by after 35 mins of waiting and asked me if I wanted a discount. When I got my bill, I received 20% off of my bill which translated to a little over $5 which is laughable. Mind you, at this time, my son still hasn’t eaten. I brought snacks so I was able to give him an orange from my bag because he was starving. We got the pizza to go and we ended up eating it at the train stop.

Food was great and the vibes were definitely good. The server was nice and treated us with good service however we are in the year 2024 and this place does not accept google pay, apple pay or tap to pay in general, even the food truck venders out in the streets accept this payment type why cant this modern restaurant? and there was no sign saying this so we had to call someone to the rescue with a physical card.

They need staff badly which made my experience not so enjoyable…. The food was good although it took so long to get our order. When we arrived they were not packed at all only had one side of the restaurant open for dine in due to only having 2 servers. Told us it would be at least a hour wait for a party of 3, (my fiancé and our daughter) …. Probably waited about 50mins to be seated due to my fiancé really wanting to have lunch there we stayed. The servers had maybe 3 tables a leach including my family but was very much noticeably under distress. The server was very short and wasn’t showing interest in being at work but took our order probably 20 /25 mins after being seated ??♀️? which was terrible because my toddler was ready to eat after such a long wait……… I don’t recommend purchasing the kids pizza from this place! It was a waste of money as my daughter didn’t even touch it. I don’t blame her because it was literally a piece of soggy bread soaked in tomato sauce with 3 pepperonis melted in a hand full of cheese. Couldn’t even pull it apart to eat without the (“pizza”) turning into a big mess of slob ?….. I didn’t complain because they were overwhelmed with the few customers they did have and still paid for it. My daughter ended up eating with us and the extra large house special was pretty good besides the raw tomatoes, (if you order this make sure to ask for the tomatoes to be put on before it comes out the oven or ELES the juice from the tomatoes will Soak the pizza slices before you can finish the 1st slice. I was so astonished by the atmosphere that I looked to see if they were at least hiring since they were overwhelmed with the handful of customers they had. Indeed they were and the advertising was for 6.75$ hour plus tips which is bogus….. I don’t blame the workers for their lack of attentiveness because this place is over priced 32$ for one pizza and that’s not including the drinks….. other words saying this company makes enough revenue to take of the workers who keep the place going….. this establishment is privately owned so they aren’t overseeing the works of what’s happening in the restaurant which makes customers have a less positive experience….. if I eat here again it would definitely be Togo orders only. Lastly I tipped the waiter 35$ even though she wasn’t on her job or checking on us or even communicating more than the bare minimum…. As she took her tip my daughter said (“thank you , Bye bye “) and the waiter just looked at her rolled her eyes and walked off smh ??♀️ my daughter kept saying it as she must’ve thought the lady didn’t hear her …. I had to tell her it’s okay she is having a bad day let’s go …… continued to pack up and tidy up the table as i always do it (“it’s a habit”) and proceeded to leave …. And I saw our waiter outside sitting at the patio smoking a cigarette looking stressed…. Smh she must have been ready for us to leave so she could get a smoke in but at least she could have responded to my daughter said bye asked if we needed anything as we were leaving or something or maybe I’m overthinking it….. we’ll I just hope that they get more workers and pay what they are worth , at least minimum wage and that this place gets management that will ensure the place is up and running sufficiently to ensure other guest don’t have a unpleasant experience.

The hostess was nice, but she was also our server, so the service wasn't anything special, it was obvious no one else was currently there to serve. Even though the restaurant was pretty empty it still took a long while to get our food.The food was worth the wait though.Parking: For an outsider, it's a bit difficult to figure parking out. Street parking is way more affordable than the garages. Not many open spaces though, I had to park a block and a half away.

HelloFirst time in CharlotteOur family enjoyed Mellow Mushroom , @ the Bar and take outVery enjoyable.The BAR associate was great.
them cooks and servers be on sporadic nonsense w the quality of service. You'll get good food eventually though! Just be careful. They like taking complaints to heart too (from my experience). Just go somewhere else ?

Our first time visiting Mellow Mushroom was amazing! The owner Josh and server Ari were super nice! We ordered the brick oven pizzas. I ordered the Mighty Meat and he had the Kosmic Kara and it was by far the best pizza I've ever had!!! Highly recommended!

Fun place to go before a soccer match. Found 2 seats at the bar. Had a hard cider and a vegan pizza. Love the non-dairy cheese option! My partner had wings and a coke. Service was amazing. The women working behind the bar were killing it. My only negative feedback is that you get about 1/2 a mushroom when you order a portobello mushroom pizza. They are skimpy in the ingredients that they upcharge for. We will go again.

Big, roomy, friendly, and tasty! There are not enough good things to say about this place. The staff were all so friendly and fun. The food was wonderful! Even the other patrons sitting at the bar were friendly. What a blast!
The leadership here is pretty amazing. I just went in to pick up a doordash and the staff was very happy and upbeat and everyone that I can in contact with while waiting greeted me and made sure I was taken care of.
