On a rainy Saturday night I stopped by this Mellow Mushroom in Ocala. There are some great things going here. There is a full bar, wine options, great craft beer and great service. The place stayed packed with folks still coming and going. There was a snafoo with our pizza, but the beer was great and we weren't too hungry, so not harm no foul. The pizza was fresh with great ingredients so there is that. Had a great time here and would return.

Philly cheesesteak calzone. Oh my goodness this was good.

Quite a nice place. I enjoyed watching the bartender mixing drinks. He has an eye for pouring and mixing drinks. I was impressed by his skills!! I didn't even order a drink and left him a tip just for watching. Then I ordered a Philly cheese steak calzone!! Oh my wow!! I suggest the creamy pesto sauce for dipping. That sauce is amazing!!!

Walking into Mellow Mushroom we were greeted by a sweet hostess who asked if we wanted to sit outside, inside at a table or at the bar. The outside seemed very comfortable but we decided to go in and eat at a table and relax comfortably. This was a party of three for lunch and we were eating light. The first thing that I took not of was the decor! It was so relaxed and I guess you can call it eclectic or Hippie-ish with its vibrant colors and very playful whimsical theme. Then we sat and ordered two medium pies to share and they were both wonderfully addicting to me. The pepperoni was typical of a pepperoni pizza a little thicker than New York style but delicious and the other we ordered was my favorite indeed. This was called Holy Shiitake"olive oil and garlic base, roasted shiitake, portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, mozzarella, aged white cheddar, fresh chives, garlic aioli, and black truffle oil. Soooo delicious honestly! Mellow Mushroom has so much to offer from pizzas of various kinds including build your own. They also have calzones, wings, salads, burgers & hoagies, plant based options and certified Gluten free pizza and brownie! Not to forget munchies if you don't prefer a meal ! If you haven't stopped picky eaters and are in need of variety I think we have the spot right here. If you haven't stopped by please do and enjoy a walk around the quaint fun little downtown Ocala it's a very nice place to be!

I came here for dinner while visiting my niece in Ocala. The place is super on brand and trippy. The menu has something for everyone. The pizza was okay. I found it too doughy even though I asked for it really crispy. It really didn't hit the spot for me but I will say the place was packed. I wouldn't go back though.

Holy Shiitake Pie

Ordered the holy shiitake pie which was phenomenal. Only drawback was that the sauce was overly sweet which did not mesh well in my opinion, but quite literally that was the only downside of this pie. The other pie was a butter chicken pie special and was so disgusting that with two people we could only finish one slice. The chicken tasted like the precooked meat you buy in a bag and honestly just talking about this pie makes me lose my appetite all over again. Will definitely be more cautious when ordering their specialty pies again

A very cool and popular spot here in Ocala! We have one close to our place in Central Florida, so the name rung a bell. We decided to eat here last minute because the game was on. Saturday night and it was crowded. Our wait, however, was less than 15 minutes when expected to be 45-hour. We sat at the bar, looking to get a drink but the bar tender only served ONE of our drinks until it was time to head to our table. We cashed out. Our server was really nice but service was slow. We shared a calzone and the wings. The calzone was nothing to talk about (other than how huge it was), but the wings were the star of the show. Mild heat, garlic parmesan -- and lots of it! Finally got to try their Moscow Mule and it was a bit on the sweeter side. I don't think we'd return to the chain unless it was in Ocala. The location is in a good spot downtown.

What a nice after school treat! We arrived about 3pm, were seated quickly and on the outdoor patio. The waitress came over very quickly & took our drink order. We then ordered our pizza. We got a large. The crust is yummy! Overall we had a great experience and would definitely return. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and there is a parking lot right across the way. Overall the place was clean and we had great food.

All dirty tables

There was about probably four tables full at the restaurant when we walked in. It took us about 15 minutes to get our pizza which is totally normal however, we did order an appetizer and never got it. Our waiter never acknowledged it until we were halfway done with our pizza and we just asked for it to be canceled. We were never checked up on. We had to wait at least 10 minutes for a box for our food. When we walked in, there was no clean tables. They cleaned off one table for us and the entire time we sat there all the tables around us remained dirty. Our food was great but the service here is absolutely TERRIBLE and that alone is enough to turn anyone away. The table next to us was also upset.

Booths and tables for all size parties

Glad to see Mellow Mushroom finally open! Such a fun atmosphere and a great place to eat! Because it is a new place, folks are flocking here and it can cause extended wait times for a table and food! Thank goodness for a full bar! We came on a Saturday afternoon before the dinner rush and were seated immediately. Our server Nathan got our drinks and took our order right away. The small Funky Q Chicken Pizza and the medium Great White Pizza came out about twenty minutes later. The food was good and enough to take home for leftovers! When we got up from the table the entrance was filled with people so it looked like they were gearing up for a busy night! It was nice to see so many people walking around town and the Mellow Mushroom is a great reason for people to come downtown!

Pacific Rim & Meatball something pizza

Fabulous service (especially the bartenders well we waited for a table) and the food was so yummy!!! Surprised to see the lower score as everything was delicious!!!

This location will do so well. If they keep up with the quality freshness and service that they launched with then this will be busy all the time. Fun atmosphere. Great location in DT Ocala. The bar area is wide open to the outside, the kitchen is visible to the restaurant, decor is always great and here is better. Food awesome. Choices lots. Pizza and crust is better than anticipated. I love the Cloud 9 wings. Baked not fried. Fall off the bone. So good. We will be regulars for EVER!!!

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes

(23 reviews)

Found this place by accident. Great service, nice Ambiance, more casual and you can sit outside…read more The Mushroom Swiss Burger was perfect!! The fries were freshly made and tasted great, and the sweet potato fries were delicious. Would definitely eat here again...

Planed to stop for a quick burger and saw several-- I passed some interesting shops with 4 or more…read morestars but tried Mooyah because I had a good burger from a MOOYAH in another state a few years ago. Here's how it went. I wanted to love my paleo burger .. but my burger was very dry. I had it lettuce wrapped which they were quite generous with- a ton of lettuce and two thin patties with blah blah blah , but it was dry and they put the mustard on the burger that I asked for on the side. Bacon was not flavorful.. Both types of French fries (sweet potato and regular) were good--just the right crisp on the outside and soft o the inside. (I always ask for extra crispy because I strongly abhor soggy fries. The other burger was a regular barbecue beef burger and the one patty was not a lot. It is hard to spend almost 40 bucks not including tip for two burgers and fries . When I do I want it to be delicious and not have to fill up on fries The place was clean... out of forks.. not very inviting or warm. So if you want to drop in an uninviting place to grab an expensive burger -dry and bland burger. This is your place. I'm a little grumpier than usual because raising the prices should not include lower standards . With top-- 15 percent because they hand you a cup and bring your burger out... and you bus your own table... it was over 40 with the tip. For two burgers and fries. Tired of overpaying for regular food.

I was in the area with a friend and his daughter. We visited Silver Springs and were ready for…read morelunch. His daughter said she wanted a burger and we found this spot. There are a few tables outside, right by the door. There are signs that make it clear they are non smoking tables. We decided to eat inside, were seated right away and our server came quickly. She told us what some of the popular burgers were and we made our selections based on that. I had the Jamaican burger cooked medium. This burger was cooked perfectly, had good flavor, was topped with a sweet and spicy jerk sauce. It was everything that I expected. My friend had the Brie burger and his daughter had the smash burger and they both said those burgers were very good as well. Our server was attentive to our needs throughout our meal. I would definitely go back again.

We showed up tonight to celebrate my birthday (today), my hubby's (Monday) and our daughter in…read morelaw's (this past Thursday). Couldn't think of a better place to eat, drink and be merry at! Tonight was "trivia night", which, while we didn't play, we did enjoy trying to guess the answers. Our grand daughter's face was a big "O" of amazement when realizing the upper tables were enjoying roasting their marshmallows at their table...when she was told they were making s'mores...she went nuts! She's so excited to get tableside s'mores! My wings were even better than they were last time since there was an addition of seasonings sprinkled on them along with the dill pickles, but unfortunately, our cheeseburger pizza suffered from not having enough mustard and ketchup base to it, the tomatoes were enormous chunks and so were red onions. It made it very difficult to eat without things falling all over your clothing since they were such huge chunks on top of the tiny pieces of pizza. My husband got the steak bomb sub, son got a pepperoni Stromboli, daughter in law got the Sharon's Brie burger, grand daughter the child's cheeseburger and fries. Our apps were the garlic knots, mild wings (10) and fried cheese curds with sriracha ranch dipping sauce. Everything was okay, except that it took forever for everything to come out, compared to our first visit. Even our s'mores seemed to take forever. The quickest part of the whole visit was the bill . The fella that waited on us the first time was on point. Not saying that the young lady waiting on us was rude or anything, but I think she was trying to do too many things at once and some things just fell by the wayside. Last visit we came in on a Saturday as well, but perhaps some people are just better at multitasking? I don't know. This time, our bill was over $200 with tip, but we still brought home food again. Not a lot compared to the last time, only 2 little pickle wings (I still can't get enough of those darn things!) and maybe 4 slices of pizza. My husband's loaded tots weren't to his liking, so there's something even for the dog tomorrow We may stay away for awhile and see if they manage to work out some kinks. If anything, the best rule is consistency. If the food preparation is not consistent every time you go to eat there, there's a problem. There should be NO deviation just because someone else is cooking it. All recipes should be the same. Twice we've ordered the same items and they've been different. I still recommend this place for great vibes, cocktails, food and the tableside s'mores. There's just nowhere else like it!

My wife and I decided to try out Ralph's Burger during the Home and Garden show at the WEC. Boy…read morewere we surprised to see this placed packed! In addition to the Home and Garden show, there were horse jumping competitions and apparently some tour groups with their yellow lanyards hanging on their necks. Needless to say, we waited in line a while and had to hunt for tables and chairs. Fortunately, my wife and I "divided and conquered" as she secured a table (which we happily shared with another couple after my wife wiped it off with a wet wipe) and I stood in line to place our orders. I ordered the Southwest Burger ($17) and my wife ordered the Patty Melt ($14.75). Both came with fries. We just had water. The wait was longer than we thought (the place was truly packed). My burger had good flavor but thought the burger patty was a bit overdone for my tastes. My wife liked her patty melt and thought it was full of flavor as well but would've preferred the marble rye to be grilled instead of toasted. All in all, despite the crowd which we thought may have affected their execution a bit, we thought of our experience a positive one. We might consider trying out their breakfast when we decide to head back out to WEC for a Sunday service in their quaint chapel. NOTE: I neglected to take pictures since the long wait left us famished.

Quite the rollercoaster experience at Ralph's Burgers! The emotional highs and lows were almost…read morelike a mini-drama in themselves. The Southwest Burger looked promising with its chipotle aioli and candied bacon, it was a gastro-enthusiast's masterpiece, but the service? Yikes. Many other interesting burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and cake concoctions were on the menu, but my decision was set in stone. The anticipation of that first bite of the burger was going to cure my animalistic hunger as we headed to the counter and met with the cashier, Denise. She literally sounded like a robot requesting the choice of hamburgers and toppings. Then rudely explained the credit card payment options. I thought to myself, am I on a hidden camera television show? Absolutely zero personality, which sadly just severely diminished my highly anticipated Ralph's Burgers experience. Wait there's more...Emotionally defeated, I made payment for the food and still left a $12.00 TIP for Denise to merely enter my order into the computer. We all self-serve at the fountain drink station and find comfortable refuge at a quaint table. About ten minutes later, Denise yells my name alerting me that our food order was ready and I instantly acknowledged. Oddly, she yells to me, "I Need Hands!!!", as she just stood motionless behind the counter holding two of our food trays. It felt like a walk of shame to take possession of our food. Took a few minutes to shake off our initial contact with Denise and finally dug into that beautiful long awaited burger. Holy smokes, the chipotle and candied bacon were integrated perfectly with the juicy cooked beef along with big golden onion rings as a perfect sidekick. The World Equestrian Center provides unparalleled service at their luxurious estate, which I have witnessed during my stay, thus, if aware, this type of unprofessionalism toward customers and guests would never be tolerated. This experience definitely makes for an interesting holiday memory! It's just a shame that something as simple as friendly service couldn't make it even more memorable.
