    Pretzel bites and beer cheese

    Food was very good. Our pizza was made incorrectly and before we could say anything they had already brought a new one out. Portion sizes were good, pretzel bites were delish!

    I ordered a medium Streakhouse pizza ($24) and it had steak, mushroom ,onions, peppers, and garlic aioli drizzle. It was made in about 15 minutes and was quite large(about the size of a large takeout pizza). The steak was quite mediocre. I liked the mushrooms and garlic aioli drizzle. Staff and service were ok. For a chain pizza restaurant it wasn't that bad, I've had better pizza here but that could've been the pizza I selected. Overall you'll get an above average pizza. Food(50%): 6.2 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.1/10

    Something is off here. We all remembered the mellow mushroom of our past that was worth driving out of your way for and was really top notch. This however was absolutely mid at its best. The service and our server were great and the drinks were good. However, the food left so much to be desired if you were still hungry with the fruit flies flying everywhere. They were landing on our food and were literally swatting the flies away. (pictured) The floors were greasy and slippery. The calzones were the best items of the night, as agreed upon by the group. The pizza had the same quality as dominos. It was absolutely lack luster in every way. I cannot recommend you waste your time visiting.

    I placed an online order and it was stated that my order would be ready an hour later. Long story short it was ready when I got there in 45 minutes. There needs to be a more streamlined way to tracking the orders. The pizza was just okay. Really chewy. I got thin crust and it was not crispy at all. I did take out so I can't really speak to how to the restaurant setting was but it looked clean and there were plenty of people in there. They have a nice bar area as well.

    It was my first time trying a Mellow Mushroom. I opted for the small Holy Shiitake and added chicken. The pizza didn't take too long to come out. A man dropped it off and walked away without bringing me a plate, which was a bit odd. The crust was crispy and the pizza was tasty, but I was a bit disappointed by the small amount of both mushrooms and chicken on my pizza. Sarah, my waitress, was fabulous!

    Plain cheese pizza. Very disappointed

    We ordered takeout, two large ( just cheese and a custom ). The custom was good but the cheese was disappointing, the cheese was dredged over the whole pizza and very difficult to eat.

    I'd only gone to the location in Carytown and other states, so i was glad we came here for my niece's birthday party. The staff was laid back and friendly, even lending a hand in organizing the table arrangements. Service was cool and everyone was able to do things easily. I always order a calzone, because usually they're amazing. There was a new one, like a cheesesteak, as the fillings (similar to what I ordered), so I tried it out...... bad idea. The steak itself is tough and flavorless, I ended up picking it all out and eating the calzone just with the veggies period It seems they put a lot of meat and not so much cheese because the seasoned ricotta and mozzarella were almost non existant!! Ugh. We tried the drink flights and the cocktails were tasty, but tasted Virgin. The saving grace was Nightingale key lime pie ice cream sando. It was delicious!

    We went to Mellow Mushroom to celebrate my grandson birthday. We had a party of 11 and were seated really quickly. The food was delicious. I had the meatsa pizza - 10/10. Definitely will be back.

    The outside and inside is beautiful

    I met a friend here for dinner. I grew up with mellow mushroom and was excited when this location came here! Delicious food and cocktails! I walked in and was greeted right away with a smile and got seated fast while waiting for my friend. My waiter was great and he recommended the Sunset in Paradise drink. I am always nervous about going to pizza places because some don't have non-dairy options and I LOVE that they do have that as an option. The Pizza was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! The cocktail was fantastic too!

    Holy Shiitake Pizza

    It hits the spot whenever I have a pizza craving. They're usually really busy so wait times can be long and service can be slow. I'm not a huge fan of pizza crust but I like theirs. It's doughy and perfect with a side of red sauce. I've tried 6 of their pizzas and you can't go wrong with any choice. It's easy to order online on their website. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    In Richmond for a little shopping and stopped by this spot for some delicious food and drink!! Sausage, Mushroom and Onion pizza and a Sausage Fest Calzone were all SO GOOD!! Super friendly bartender. We sat at bar to avoid a bit of a wait. Excellent bourbon selection including Buffalo Trace, Jefferson's Ocean and many others. Large tap selection, including local options. Big fans!! #yummo #deitzeatz

At first, I wasn't completely sold after looking at the menu as I didn't immediately see anything I wanted to eat as most tiki bars we have been to are more on the dive bar side so regular bar foods. So, the plan was to grab a couple drinks and find dinner somewhere else nearby. I am so glad my fiancé talked me into staying because this place absolutely knocked me off my feet. -I highly recommend the Nuclear Hawaiian and the Hello Kitty!!!! When we mentioned we weren't sure about the food, the bartenders jumped right in with recommendations and suggested the calamari and crab rangoon and they were spot on! When the food arrived, everything was perfectly cooked. The calamari was tender with a great texture, and the crab rangoon was crisp with amazing flavor. I went from I am not hungry to I could eat multiple plates of the same thing. We ended up staying for hours watching college football and mingling with some of the regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and we genuinely had such fun conversation with people around us. We even heard from several folks that this place really comes alive during karaoke nights. At one point an older heavyset lady who we later found out was one of the cooks came out to chat with people. She was checking in to make sure everyone liked their food and catching up with the regulars like family. it really showed how much the staff cares about the people that walk through the door. MPM Tiki Bar feels like a true local gem with great drinks, delicious food, and a staff that makes you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here multiple times a week. if your anywhere near this restaurant, dont skip this spot trust me!

I got the loaded potato with broccoli and cheese (you could add bacon for a little extra which I wish I had, since it would have elevated it) and a side salad. The food came out and it was very fresh and made to order. My husband took a bite of his sandwich and immediately dropped it. His eyes began to water and I said "what's wrong?" He just said "HOT". I thought he meant the chicken was hot. Oh no. Once he got his bearings together and could speak he said that was not honey bbq . He doesn't do spicy. He was sucking down water like no tomorrow. I had seen enough tik toks to know that was only intensifying it. . I told him to hold on and let's wait and ask for a milk. He told the waiter who said the staff in the back didn't speak English and may have gotten wrong and took it back right away (come to find out it was the spicy inferno sauce, not sure you don't need a waiver for that one lol). He brought out more water and a milk which did help. The manager did come and check on my husband. Which was very sweet. It was an honest mistake and definitely one to talk about.

This restaurant merits a 4 or 5 star rating on most dimensions. The reason for the 1-star review is the safety hazard that is the men's restroom. The floor leading to the rest rooms is always slippery. Everyone knows that and it is common in certain restaurants, I've noticed. However, this means the floors in the restrooms need to stay dry. Every single time I have gone into the men's room, I have nearly slipped and fell. Last night, I caught myself before falling and made a mental note to step carefully. But even trying my very best, I still nearly fell two more times before exiting the room. The reason I am finally writing a review about what I've observed on numerous visits is the fact that I observed an employee, who was working behind the bar, go into the bathroom. Surely, he was aware of the hazard. A trained employee (and a responsible one) would immediately go get a mop and clean that mess up. If not for safety, at least for public health. This guy didn't, and that was the final straw for me. I'll be back in a few weeks. If I see that the issue is finally resolved, I'll change this rating to a 4 or 5. Until then, this is basically the only way to potentially get someone's attention.

Looking at the outside, very beige and colonial, you would not expect to walk into the vibe-iest (made that up) spot in Midlothian. The bar is gorgeous - that's the first thing I noticed. The place just feels warm, like you know you're gonna have a good time. The bar is fully stocked - definitely rum heavy but they have everything. I had the honor of meeting the co-owners Greg and his wife - they were super friendly, welcoming and informative. They are also super proud of the space and thy should be. That was my impression within the first 5 minutes. I had not even sat down yet! I was there with friends and we opted to sit at the bar. The drink menu is well laid out and has a variety of options including food. Because I always trust my bartender I took the risk of getting the bartenders choice which really provides a curated experience - just tell them what you don't like and let them do their thing! You'll be amazed. I also have to rave about our bartender Julia! Drinks were amazing every time! To be fair... the whole staff was really impressive. Julia really went above and beyond finding me a charger for my phone... that's the only reason I don't have more pictures to share (I was on 4%). Julia really saved the day!
