Visited only once before in 2023 with the UTA Drumline and istg that one visit changed me. Been thinking about MM since and finally came back today to be reminded of how amazing this place is! While it was a bit pricy and the wait for my pizza did take a little bit: the food quality & decor made it all worth it. Friendly staff, gorgeous decor, and the music that played was all stuff I have on my own playlist. 10/10 will be back someday

5 Stars — Outstanding Service from Kimberly! We made an impromptu visit to Mellow Mushroom for a lunch/staff meeting, and what could have been a logistical challenge turned into a seamless, enjoyable experience — thanks entirely to Kimberly. I arrived ahead of my team and spoke with Kimberly to see if any pre-seating arrangements could be made for our group of six. From the moment I explained our situation, Kimberly was attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful. She asked all the right questions about our needs and wasted no time getting us settled into a back seating area that gave us the privacy and space we needed to conduct our meeting comfortably. Her warm, accommodating nature set the tone for our entire visit. It's rare to encounter that level of thoughtfulness and initiative — especially on an unplanned stop — and it made a real difference for our team. Kimberly is a true asset to this location. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. Thank you, Kimberly — you went above and beyond, and it did not go unnoticed!

It's modern with a 60s physcodelic atmosphere. The service is great very polite very helpful. Limited mixed drinks menu but great selection, and the bartender knows how to make drink. The pizza crust is good the pizzas we got in whole are good and I didn't have any issue with the price I paid. Not perfect. But is a good pizza good vibe

We’ve been separate locations and enjoy their pizza immensely. Their crust is divine. We sat outside and most of the chairs were covered with bird poop, kind of a downer. The pizza takes a while, but we’re used to that. And it’s worth the wait. We had the pretzels with the beer, cheese, queso, and a couple of drinks.our waitress was good but kind of slow.

It was decent. It's been a few years since we've been to a Mellow Mushroom and this Friday night was our first Texas Mellow Mushroom. We ordered draft beers, a small Greek salad and a small Holy Shitake Pizza plus Sausage Our server, Cara was pleasant and helpful. She took our drink orders right away. The beers were cold and tasty. I while later, we ordered our food. - Small Greek Salad: it was just okay. Not special - Holy Shitake Pizza plus Sausage: I really like it. My wife thought the bottom crust at the outer edge was a bit burnt on 2 of the 4 slices. It was darker for sure but I was good with it. All in all, a good meal with good service. I’d eat here again.

I absolutely loved everything I tried here! Their cheese pizza is so gooey, fresh, and flavorful — the crust is perfectly baked and the cheese is top quality. The vegetable calzone was loaded with fresh veggies and melty cheese, and it came out piping hot and crispy on the outside. The soft pretzels are a must-try — warm, soft, and served with a super tasty dipping sauce. And the veggie pizza was amazing, packed with a variety of fresh vegetables and that signature Mellow Mushroom crust that never disappoints. The atmosphere was fun and chill, perfect for families or hanging out with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back again — everything was sooo good!

We had an amazing waiter Jake. He was patient with us even though we got there about 20 minutes before closing. He was awesome in suggesting what we should choose. The strawberry lemon limeade was delicious and so was the brownie. The wings were wonderful and the pizza was good. I liked that we could get half and half on the wings and pizza. Cloud 9 and hot sauce wings were mine and my friends favorite part of the meal. Nice atmosphere and the coupon I got on my receipt was a nice plus. Definitely a repeat place for me!

We love Mellow Mushroom. Our 2 in Houston closed a couple of years ago and whenever we are in a town that has one we always stop by. We started with Parmesan pretzels and for our main had a hamburger and Funky ‘Q Chicken. Everything was a good as we remembered and the staff was very friendly and did a great job. Thanks!
