    I came here with my fiancé yesterday while in town and had a lovely experience! Our server, Joshua, was super friendly and attentive to our table. The ambiance is fun, colorful, and family friendly (and also great for a date night!). Located in the heart of downtown Owensboro, Mellow Mushroom is perfect for a dinner date and then a walk over at Smothers riverfront park! We ordered two medium pizzas from their 50th anniversary menu and were delighted with them! We ordered the Maui Wowie (without ham) and the Super Pepp - both were delicious! The medium pizzas were plenty big for two people and we ended up with leftovers which is great! Overall, a very pleasant experience!

    Good pizza, excellent salads, plenty of liquid refreshments. Nice relaxed atmosphere and overall good vibe. Plenty of people of all ages in the restaurant.

    The food was delicious! The service was really slow they were quite busy but the food took a longgg time to come out. The avocado hoagie came very last and I had already ate the soup and bruschetta and I was kinda full. It totally looked like they just threw it together but it was still good. The bruschetta was good but the bread wasnt homemade. The mushroom soup was delicious and the pineapple drink wasnt what I was expecting but was good nonetheless. The spot is really cute. Just the service that was slow.

    "OBJECTS MAY APPEAR LARGER..." Really disappointed in this location. We are in Owensboro for sports tournament weekend. It's not the first time I've eaten here, but it is my first experience with online ordering, carry out and appetizers. I have 4 adults and two kids to feed. We order 2 large pizzas, pretzel bites and cloud nine wings. Pizzas were good. I've never had a pizza from a Mellow Mushroom that has deviated from their standards. The appetizers are something else. First of all, "Pretzels" are in no way pretzels. It's pizza dough breadstick bites tossed with a bit of oil and parmesan. The picture from online ordering indicates about 30 bites and a big cup of cheese. Instead I receive a paltry 14 irregular nubs of greasy bread and a 4oz cup of sauce filled about 2/3rds full. I asked the lady at the pick up counter about it, showed her what I ordered online yah know...what I expected to receive. She says it's 4 oz of bread, "that's what you get." I let her know that the picture is misleading, I'm trying to feed 6 people here. And she just shrugged. I get it all to the hotel and the wings look pretty unappetizing, but at least the count is about right! TLDR: skip the appetizers and order two sides of beer cheese for the pizza crusts.

    I'm going for it! 5 STARS!!! All good things come to those who wait! Honestly, it's fresh pizza, give them some time to make it perfect (me saying that to my impatient 8 year old who has a huge appetite) I'm on prep as usual, however, that lean/cut phase doesn't happen until January 2nd so I have to wiggle in some pizza before then. Okay, so delicious! Fresh! Not to much sauce, heavy on those onions which I absolutely love! I'm not a huge crust eater but it was difficult to stop the temptation of filling up on the crust. We did a split pizza, Drew had pepperoni and ham, I had roasted tomatoes, spinach, ham, bacon, and onions! Was not busy today (came during the work day). Great experience! The employees were helpful and not overbearing.

The master of sandwiches who took my order recommended the smokehouse grilled cheese. It was a perfect suggestion It had beautiful texture, the perfect balance of meats to cheese to bread, and sauce.

I actually took my time to enjoy this in little bites rather than scarfing it down. They were also kind enough to let me sample a slice of their bread which was really good. They have a variety of flavored butters and a good amount of loaves, cookies, and things that looked good. The vibe of this place is pretty cool. It is clean and the music is chill, and I super appreciate that they take good care of the restrooms. I've already lined up my next meal here. It'll be a tomato bisque soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. But of course you knew this. You were probably going to order the same and I dont blame ya. It'll be fantastic. I already know!

The bread was simply bread as far as I know. No fancy names in French or Italian. Nothing baked in and crusted in cheese or tomato or special herbs. I don't even know if a fancier bread is an option. But it was a dang good sandwich. The ingredients taste fresh. I even thought to myself how nice the iceberg lettuce tasted. It was crisp with a sweetness to it. The tuna was nice and the provolone I added was cool. Nothing stood out as the star of the show. It all just came together to be a fantastic sandwich. Plus I ordered a giant size and essentially got 2 sandwiches. The employees were awesome and helpful in guiding me towards the ultimate JJ experience.

If you use your phone, you are required to wash and sanitize your hands after each use of your phone and before handling any food. They do not do this at this location. I hadn't been to this location before and stopped in on December 30, 2025. It was about 7:20 pm and every place else nearby was pretty busy, if not packed. In this Jimmy John's, only three workers behind the counter were in the building. They were all entranced in each of their cell phones... I was sitting in the parking lot about to make a bad decision. As I open my door, a guy walks up the side walk, toward the Jimmy John's entrance. I follow him in. We both stand there for EIGHT MINUTES before any of the employees even look up from their phones. Finally, they take his order. A girl puts down her cell phone right on the counter where they make sandwiches and starts making his sandwiches, with her bare hands, no gloves -- which are required. During the process of making his sandwiches, she puts the sandwiches down several times to respond to texts on her cell phone. I just couldn't believe it. I had just ordered my sandwich and was about to swipe my credit card. I was just about in shock from the blatant disregard for food safety and obeying the law, etc... I told the cashier to forget it and then I said, all of you need to review the safe food handling requirements. She just had a blank look on her face as if she was clueless. I said, you have to wash your hands after using your phone, using the restroom, and each time you leave & return to the prep area. She said, "we do not". I then said, you can't be handling your phones while making customer's food either. She just looked lost. And then I left.

I doubt they are house made meatballs, but this sandwich is loaded with sauce and cheese and was cooked to perfection. The sauce was sweet with a touch of pepper. I'm sure this sauce makes the pizzas delicious. I came into the store and order take out, there was a constant flow of pick-ups and door dash order, but my order was ready in under 10min.
