Mellow Mushroom Brier Creek

After visiting several Mellow Mushroom locations, I have to say this one is pretty muted. The restaurant is clean and service was good. The food was not on par with other locations(Durham, Boone) but was not awful just ok. The other locations are very colorful and decorated and made the Brier Creek location look like a regular restaurant.

3/1/26 @3:00PM I use to frequent this location often before we moved out of the country. This is the first time I have been back since we returned to US. I decided to bring my grand children here for lunch with family. 1. When we walked in, no one greeted us. There was no Host at front desk. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, even though the restaurant was relatively empty. 2. When the Host did seat us. He was apologetic for the delay. However, he then proceeded to seat us at a dirty table. I asked him to wipe the table & chairs down. He did but I had to do it again myself. 3. Our WAITRESS WAS AMAZING!!!!! I wish I could remember her name. But she was a light skinned young lady with curly hair, neck/shoulder length and glasses. 4. Our food came out promptly & hot. 5. However, my 4

Amazing service and atmosphere. My friend from out of town absolutely loved it. I love thin crust but it wasn’t too thin. My friend loves her crust fluffier side so it was exactly what she was looking for.

Order food for pickup and they gave me a cheese pizza instead of a pepperoni. No big deal, I wait for the fixed pizza. I finally get home and start eating only to find there’s paper cooked into the dough on the bottom of the pizza crust. I fed it to my kids. What kind of quality control?!

The food was great! We had some delicious pizza and a good calzone. The restaurant is clean and tidy. However the service left much to be desired. I ordered a lemonade and waited about 40 minutes for it. The restaurant was also fairly empty as it was a Monday night, so not sure what the hold up was for a single drink. In the meantime, the waitress didn’t come to our table so I wasn’t even able to ask for a water. Just a little disappointing that the waitstaff didn’t have the awareness to see a guest that didn’t have a drink for a long time. Overall the experience was good, but based on the slow service and the waitstaff who don’t make sure you at least have a water, I wouldn’t come back to this particular location.
