When my husband and I want to head out and grab dinner and a couple of beers, there's really only one choice on this side of town: Mellow Mushroom.
I love the food - salads are fresh, sandwiches are tasty and the pizza options are perfect. The fact that we can sub in vegetarian protein options without any hassle at all is a huge plus - it makes us feel really welcome. Every server we've met is always great about helping us choose a delicious pizza.
We really come for the beer, though - the beer and the advice. With so many different options, it's easy to get a little lost in the tap list. That's why I'm always glad to see Ryan working. Not only is he really knowledgeable about beer styles, he's always able to recommend anything from an IPA to a sour to a stout on nitro - whatever we're in the mood for. Best of all, he takes the time to talk to us about out options and has helped introduce us to new styles and breweries we might have missed out on.
So tasty food + great service + expansive tap list + spot on advice from Ryan = five stars in my book. And I just talked myself into where I'm going to dinner tomorrow!
