Jerk chicken wings
Christopher E.

Great service! Great food!! The Peace street Mellow Mushroom has been one of my wife and I go to spots for food for over 10 years. We mostly order takeout from Mellow Mushroom these days, the food is always delicious and the takeouts are seamless. My order is usually the Jerk Chicken Wings My wife likes the Funky Q and The Works pizza. *The salads are awesome too.

My son saw the photos of Mellow Mushroom and he had to check out this cool spot! The food was affordable and delicious, huge servings! I love that the kids menu was on a coloeinf page but with a variety of fun things for my son to do. I brought my siblings and husband with me and we have a wide variety of taste and diet restrictions but we were all able to find something we could each enjoy. Only slight downside was the waitress didn't seem comfortable when my sister started to ask more in depth questions regarding ingredients and no sense of urgency when it came to taking our orders or checking in on us. All of that aside the food was delicious, the atmopshere was psychedelic and artistic, and we had an amazing time!

Garlic Parmesan wings and hot buffalo
Jackie M.

Found this really dope pizza spot while visiting. The atmosphere was great and the hostess were nice and helpful. We got a couple of items of their menu and it did not disappoint! Pepperoni pizza had ricotta cheese with a dash of hot honey, garlic Parmesan wings are spot on with taste I like the creamy sauce added to them. The pizza crust might have been wheat. Overall this pizza spot has good vibes and great food definitely worth checking out. Giant mushrooms everywhere reminded me beyond wonderland

Holy Shiitake Pacific Rim
Emmaleigh G.

I recommend getting two smaller pizzas if you want to leave out certain items on only half the pizza. It was rather difficult trying to get the correct pizza with doing half and half. The manager was great by giving us a discount after 2 attempts! They also tried to give the sauce and onions on the side to remedy the holy shiitake side; however, it was still not as delicious as it normally is with it all cooked in. This won't stop us from going back, but it will definitely prompt us to order differently next time! The patio was a great spot to relax with the nice weather.

Ordered two pizzas to go and boy were they delicious. Didn't actually go inside the establishment but looks like a nice place from the outside. The lady on the phone who I placed my order with was knowledgeable and helpful and my pizza was ready when she said it would be. No complaints there. Only thing I wish I would have done was get a dipping sauce for the crust. The crust is great but can be a little bland if the toppings don't go all the way to the edge. Will definitely return!

Such a vibe this place is! If you go during peak hours, you'll definitely have to wait. Servers are friendly. Ordered the Great White, Holy Shiitake and a Veg out GF and Vegan pizza. They were all delicious, cheesy, surprisingly even the GF and Vegan. The borders were too thick, look at the Holy Shiitake, I mean i would have like the borders to be thinner so that I could get more toppings. I am someone who doesn't eat the outer crust at all. Some areas felt quite doughy and raw, see picture. I loved the overall taste, I am craving for it while I write this review, so yes the pizzas were really good, therefore the 4 stars. But there is scope for improvement!

Garlic pretzel bites with cheddar beer dip and cocktails
Natasha D.

The service was great. We had a lovely waitress and the ambiance was nice and relaxed. The food was just average. The pretzel bites were dense but the cheddar dip was good. The pizza felt stodgy and heavy. The choice of toppings was good. The pizza was not as good as I had expected.

Kosmic Karma
Madeline L.

Stopped by here on Saturday around 2pm for lunch after finding out MoJoe's had a 35min wait. Was happy to not have to wait for a table! The food was decent - special shoutouts for the pizzas, as they were definitely the best items. Kosmic Karma was great, I definitely recommend for pesto lovers! Merry Prankster was also great, I really enjoyed the herb aoili drizzle on there! I'll say the ritz burger was not good.. the meat was extremely dry and lacked flavor. I'd stay away from the burgers here. The wings were fine, nothing special.

I have been visiting this Mellow for probably 20 years. They have so many tasty items on the menu. Before I was gluten free I loved the soft pretzel appetizer. Their salads are fabulous. I love the enlightened spinach salad and the Greek salad. Their dressings are really flavorful as well. On this particular Friday night we were seated immediately outside on the deck and the weather was perfect. It's such a fun spot on the corner of Peace and Glenwood. We asked to be seated in our favorite server's section. Eden is positive and energetic and always gets our order right. She quickly brought us our drinks and put in our food order. If you are gluten free, Mellow has good GF pizzas. I always order the Kosmic Karma -- such a great mix of flavors. And, because I'm a sauceaholic I asked for extra pizza sauce on the side. Everything came out just as I ordered. Son ordered a Cobb salad with no dressing. I guess it's yummy enough to eat without dressing!? Son had gluten free brownie for dessert which he said was delicious. Always look forward to visiting Mellow. This was another great experience.

Wise Man tropical shirts (sour) very refreshing!

Parkside Restaurant - Short Rib Melt

My husband and I came here for brunch when we were first visiting Raleigh house-hunting. We decided…read moreto revisit for Mother's Day brunch this year. We showed up early with our 1.5 year old daughter and they were able to seat us immediately. The area felt spacious, although that could be due to the fact that it wasn't super packed inside. I ordered the short rib benedict, my husband got the chicken & waffle sandwich, and we ordered my daughter a side of the mac & cheese. What a delicious meal! The short rib was tender and flavorful, and sat on top of a biscuit (what's not to love here?!) - horseradish hollandaise was the perfect touch as the horseradish pairs nicely with the beef. The chicken & waffle sandwich was the best guilty pleasure! Waffle crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, chicken breaded and fried with a nice crunch, and a nice hot honey syrup to go alongside -- wish this had a little more heat. To our surprise, the mac & cheese side was a highlight too! It's hard to get a good mac n cheese, but this had such a rich, white cheese, slight funk flavor - delicious. Brunch at Parkside is delicious. Looking forward to trying dinner here soon.

The menu is massive which made it hard to decide, but our waitress was so kind and walked us through all of the popular options. I wound up ordering the short rib melt with mac and cheese. The short rib itself was really good. It had nice flavor and was cooked well. I do wish the melt would have had some kind of sauce or au jus element to it to give it some moisture because it was slightly on the dry side. The mac and cheese was unfortunately gritty, so I would skip that next time and try a different side. The drinks here are great. They had Mango Cart on tap which is one of my all time favorite beers. The cocktail selection is well priced, and I also got the gin fizz, which I loved. Not sure that Parkside will be a regular visit because the food was okay, but the vibes and drinks were great. Definitely worth a try if you've never been.

Another stop on my Raleigh barbecue tour, Sam Jones BBQ was well worth the visit…read more I stopped in solo and grabbed a seat at the counter, starting with a Bulleit Bourbon before settling in for dinner. I ordered the Jones Family Original BBQ Tray, which comes with slaw, their slow-smoked whole-hog pork, Skylight Inn-style cornbread, and mac and cheese. The pork was the star of the show. Smoky, tender, and full of flavor, with those delicious crispy edges you expect from properly cooked whole-hog barbecue. You can really taste the Carolina oak and hickory smoke, and the vinegar-forward Eastern North Carolina style gives the pork a nice tang without overpowering it. The cornbread was excellent and the mac and cheese was a comforting side that paired nicely with the pork. I also appreciated being able to sit at the counter and watch the place in action--it has a relaxed, unfussy barbecue-joint atmosphere that fits the food perfectly. And I enjoyed my conversation with the bartender. Sam Jones has definitely earned its reputation for Eastern North Carolina whole-hog barbecue. Another strong stop on my Raleigh barbecue tour, and one I'd happily return to.

Came in with a party of 8 on a Friday at 11 when they opened. For meats, we ordered pulled pork,…read morebrisket, and ribs. I don't love pulled pork because it tends to be dry, and it was no different in this case. The brisket was also a bit dry but the house sauce helped. I ended up dousing most of my food in it. The ribs were the best meat out of the three. It was tender and flavorful. For sides, we had slaw, mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad, loaded baked potato, and a green salad. My favorite was definitely the slaw. I love a good slaw with BBQ meats. My least favorite was the mac and cheese, which was dry and basic. Everything else was fine. I'm glad we got to try so many sides, and got to check this spot out. But I think next time in Raleigh, I'd like to try some other BBQ places I haven't tried yet.
