| - I first saw Mellow Mushroom when I was in Atlanta on business recently, and I was intrigued. I didn't get a chance to go then, so when I saw that they had arrived in Tempe, and the Groupon came out, I was excited to give it a try.
On the recommendation of some friends who have eaten there, we organized an outing. I was really excited by the menu; lost of interesting sounding vegetarian options. The beer selection is impressive (try the orange blossom-yum!).
The stuffed portabello appetizer was disappointing. The pizzas were okay; I liked the Magical Mystery Tour better than the Gourmet White for sure, but neither was super amazing.
The service was okay; there were a few mishaps, people being given the wrong beer, check splitting was a little too complicated even with advance notice, but nothing awful.
The atmosphere is decent; I imagine the original one was super fun and quirky, but replicating that in a chain almost never works.
I will probably go back to try some of the things that sounded good that I didn't get to try last time; but it is a bit pricey, probably overpriced for the quality.
