    The al fresco dining area is amazing - covered tables flanked by a cool playspace for kids accented with colorful art - VERY cool!

    This was the first time we dined in at Mellow Mushroom - we usually order pick-up. It was a GREAT experience, starting with Dwayne, our server who was chill and laser-focused. He was wicked busy ("in the weeds" was the term we used back when I was waiting tables) and we marveled at his attention with each table, and the speed with which the drinks and apps came. The menu lists the Spicy Mango Maragarita, but I'm not a mango fan and asked if I could get a non-mango spicy 'rita - Dwayne assured me that I could get ANY margarita spicy - a great relief and a very tasty spicy drink! The bone-in chicken wings were perfectly seasoned and the side of sweet Thai chili jived perfectly wth the spicy margarita - and Dwayne's spirted presentation was fun! (see pic). The tailored Mighty Meaty pizza (pesto base baked crisply w/ black olives, garlic, topped w/ diced raw onions - the pic can only try to capture the deliciousness visually - ya gotta try this combination y'all! Menu shots are in the pics - but don't skip the AMBIANCE pics- this place is a family fun haven! It accommodates cozy booths like we had, tables surrounding a giant painted mushroom, private party rooms and AL FRESCO dining with a generous safe play space for the kiddos! Mellow Mushroom is the total family fun night venue - check it out for yourself1

    Steak & Cheese Hoagie with tots

    Went for family dinner with two toddlers to this location and of course they loved the vibrant colors and whimsical decorations. Our server was Nate and not sure if he was nervous or just new. He did not get our order correct even after he repeated it back to us we made some corrections and it still did not come out correctly. We ordered the mac and cheese with apples for the kids , half order of the steak and cheese hoagie for me and a half half pizza for my husband. I was told that I could not substitute a side salad for the tater tots that came with my meal. That was the first time hearing that maybe new rules or just this location. Nate tried his best and we really appreciated him. I gave a 3 star because we all had stomach aches not even 20 minutes from leaving the establishment and the only common thing we all had was some of the mighty meat /funky q pizza. Probably will be a while before going back to this location.

    Pizza has not been my staple food item for quite some time however, the pizza and the fresh ingredients that are used here make for a great dinner. The staff are always helpful and friendly and this facility is immaculately clean very good price point noise level is average and speed of service is usually pretty good

    I had a small thin and crispy pepperoni pizza for take out. I arrived before the ready time given on the app and it was ready early. Yes! Although I was in take out mode, I had time to check out the dining area. To me, it has a sort of San Francisco 1960's hippie vibe. Love it. Five minutes later I was back home enjoying a very good pizza. Great sauce and they sprinkled it with parmigiana cheese. I really enjoyed the pizza and I like this chain. It good to go.

    Good - surprised by so many negative reviews Great stone baked pizza - recomend you give a try Dining in this Location was flawless, we walked in, ordered and it was warm and on our table by 8-6 ish minutes decent hygiene and Great staff, my server was great, the atmosphere was good and interesting interior. Mellow mushroom was a bit on the costly side but overall it was an AVERAGE GOOD PIZZA, i asked if they could do half mighty meaty & half pepperoni crust was good and THEY DO NOT cheap out on the meat whatsoever.

    To celebrate the start to our weekend we dropped in for a late dinner tonight while in the area. This place has more mushrooms than Super Mario. An adorable patio to dine outside and plenty of dining room. This restaurant is adorable and a hippie's paradise. It's super psychedelic and zen. The menu is huge and there is something for everyone to enjoy. Our waiter was Sunshine and she was awesome. We decided on the Pretzel bites with beer cheese for a app. You must try it ! We couldn't stop eating. For entrees my daughter had the Small Buffalo chicken pizza and I had the small house pie. Small is a understatement! The serving sizes are humongous ! You'll have plenty to eat the next day Best pizza I've had since relocating to Raleigh from New York ! I also had a bourbon, whisky peach purée flavored cocktail with egg cream !!!!!! Really great cocktail. This place is great for every occasion. Having a full bar is a plus also !!!!

    After my last visit I was weary to return. But after speaking with the manager here, I decided to give it another try. I know right now everywhere is short staffed.... Tonight we went for pizza. And had a much better experience. The wings were absolutely 1000% better. We got a cheese Pizza, The house special, and then another one that I'm not sure of the name. I think it's the wild Havana? Everything this time was so good. Our waitress you could tell was stressed. We observed that she had checking and saving a lot of tables. At least seven or eight. Avoid over Jaxies but we still felt attendant to and like they cared about us. I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of change that I saw! Definitely try this place out. We love the pizza dough. The wild Havana is hands-down my favorite pizza from now on.

    First visit. Ordered online & picked up curbside. Ordered 2 pizza & cheese bread special, and I was not impressed...AT ALL. The pizza sauce was salty on both pizzas & the cheese bread was DRYYYYYYY!! I needed that salty side of tomato sauce just to get that 1 bite down. My friend raves about this place from going to a different one. I was better off going to Dominoes or something. At least the cheese bread wouldn't have almost choked me to death. The service was ok & the online ordering was easy. I may try it again if someone else pays for it again. I am definitely not spending my money on this. Bad first impression for pizza. The chocolate chip cookie, on the other hand, was yummy.

    Good pizza, but not enough toppings. Pretzel bites 8/10. Dead cockroach on floor.Pizza a little doughy.

It was served well done. When asked "how is everything" by the bartender/server as he rushed by I replied "it's okay" and he didn't break stride before moving on to the next table. - a different server came by after awhile and asked if we needed to go boxes. I declined and said the beef was overcooked. The server walked away. - a third person came over and said "I heard you were not satisfied with your meal". I explained that it was not served as advertised. He then asked "what would you like me to do about this"? I find this an odd question - no apology for the beef being over cooked, no offer to comp the item, he never introduced himself. - I chose not to answer the question. He then came back with the bill and let us know that he comped the over cooked sandwich (which included one side on the menu) but "only charged you for the side" Yes, my review is overly detailed and may come across as whiny. However, our party of four honestly felt like the staff didn't care if we were there or not. They also forgot my dining companion's grilled chicken on her grilled chicken Caesar. I honestly hope they improve and become part of the neighborhood but our family will not return. Ps - I really like pickled onions and didn't see anything on the menu served with pickled onions.

The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

My salmon was cooked perfectly and the pasta and sauce was delicious. I did add a little salt but I don't like olives so since I gave them to another person in my party if they had been in my pasta that probably would have cured the salt issue. It was still amazing! The garlic bread that came with it was grilled just not buttered enough so I asked for extra. The wings I got one of were good and sauced and had a crispy exterior and juicy inside. I didn't taste the build your own pizza but he ate it all so that says it was good. I did taste a slice of the Stanley and it was good. The buffalo I could handle and I don't care for spicy but it wasn't too much for me. I would say it could have been cooked just a little longer. Still delicious and flavorful!! The garlic dots!!! I would make a trip just for those. Crispy exterior and soft cooked dough on the his inside and their garlic butter made with fresh garlic and the sauce!! Amazing!!! Definitely a keeper! Also got a slice of cheesecake to go! Yum!
