Mellow Mushroom Beaumont — Restaurant in Beaumont

The place was clean, and had a cool overall theme. Fifties pictures and murals covered the wall, and artistically aesthetic furniture and sculptures adorned the lobby and entrance. Creative playing card pictures indicated the men's and women's restrooms. An outdoor patio had lots of seating room, and boasted two gigantic ceiling fans for summer, and overhead heaters for winter.

Entree and ingredient selections were broader than the typical "bare bones" pizza place (including garlic peppadew and Poblano peppers, and spinach) which impressed me. I didn't think highly of the "Holy Shiitake" offering listed on their menu, however, as I would not want to explain that to my granddaughter. My veggie pizza was tasty and did not take too very long to arrive.

I have not eaten in a place this cold and unfriendly, though, since my childhood days, where I grew up five minutes away from a village where the Ku Klux Klan often marched through. I passed by two female employees standing in front of the kitchen, and smiled as I greeted them. Both looked at me and immediately snatched away their eye contact in the same direction, ignoring my greeting.

My waitress, Gwen, though soft-spoken, and friendly-sounding, was stand-offish, her smile quickly and consistently melting away the second she turned to walk away from me. Though she brought my drink and plate right away, she only disappeared and returned when she saw me scanning the room to see where she was.

Matt Bloodsworth, the man who likes to be called "Captian," was the only one who extended the courtesy that a customer should experience. His friendly conversation with everyone (including me) showed me that he, unlike the others, regarded everyone's presence as important as their money. After posting this review, I drive back just to find him, and give HIM a tip.

When Gwen returned to ask if I was thinking of any dessert, I looked her I the eye and told her that I had changed my mind. Not only was I saying I no longer wanted dessert; I was also saying I had changed my mind about the amount I was about to tip her, about ever eating at this place again, and about ever recommending this place to anyone who wants to be treated...

Beaumont Mellowmushroom: We placed an online order at 5:50 and arrived about 5 minutes before 6:30 which was the time the receipt said the food would be ready. We called a couple times and finally got an answer the 3rd time to inform the restaurant of our arrival and was told there was no order for James Smith and they put us on hold to check. After 10 minutes we hung up and walked into the Togo door. Was greeted by a semi- attitude women who asked what we wanted. We explained the situation and all she could tell us that it was busy, which yes we could see but she would tell us if they received the order or not. She said she would bring it out, but we sat in the car for another 30 minutes and walked back in at 7:05. When we went back in the same lady came up with an attitude, and said that she had our wings (which we didn’t order) we told her and she kept saying our order name and that we had wings. Then she said they still haven’t found our order. I told her I had the receipt showing the order and that the money had already been taken out of my account. After telling her a couple times we did not order wings I asked for a manager and said she “they are busy”. When we had her actually go look for the order she miraculously found the order they didn’t have, relatively quick. I understand they were having an event. I get it places get busy but I’m not sure how the event made my order hard to find or her say we didn’t order. I didn’t catch her name but she had a green shirt glasses and brown hair...

20AUG25: Greet and seat immediately. Irisa was my affable, accomplished server and expert menu guide.

Selected Greek salad (li’l) and the newish/specialty pizza, Super Pepp.

salad is complex and complete. two types of peppers, greens galore, kalamata olives, more and more additions then topped an abundant sprinkle of Feta cheese, a drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette was a good complement. Salad is well made which was a rich, savory delight.

SuperPepp pizza (10in) was a surprising taste challenge. on a crispy crust was rich red sauce, mozzarella, smokey pepperoni, tangy-tingly pepper bits, several little mounds of seasoned, creamy ricotta cheese with a generous swirl of hot honey. Man, this is some special, monumental output of a crazy mad scientist’s flavor experiment. As the cliche states, ‘a delight in every bite.’

Great meal, great service, 5 stars =Peace=

Service (Melissa) was spot on. Knowledgeable and helpful. Greek Salad was mammoth, beyond my ability to consume. Italian hoagie was similarly ample in over all size, being rather over-stuffed. The sandwich bread was toasted and arrived warm from the oven. Surprisingly, the flavor was not distinctive, nor expressive. I ate the whole thing, and am willing to to return to sample other...
