First of all, let me preface this by saying that the food at the Mellow Mushroom is EXCELLENT. I ordered a calzone, and it was unbelievably tasty. However, it could easily be split between a few people. It was HUGE! We also ordered the pretzels as an appetizer, and while we were expecting small ones, 3 large ones were brought out. They didn't taste much like pretzels (more like bagels), but they were hot and fresh. We tried the Esperanza dressing, which was like a garlic Italian, and it was different, but had a good taste. The food is exellent and there are SO many choices, it was difficult to choose.
However, the service was a bit spotty. Our appetizer came out after our main course, and our server seemed very forgetful. We were there a bit after the lunch rush on a weekend, so there shouldn't have been any reason for it. She was very, very nice though.
I'd come back, though I was very disappointed to learn it was a chain. On the upside, the food is very good, considering it is a chain.
