Mellow Mushroom Richmond – Carytown - The Story

The restaurant is housed in an old Plan 9 Records location. The exterior of the building is painted with a CalArts style mural featuring numerals, clocks, and hourglasses. Large windows and a wood awning add a contemporary look. The interior features starburst light fixtures, a rainbow of dining tables, and exposed brick. A collage of old technology — including records, record players, film reels, 8 tracks, remotes, CDs, and stereos — hangs on one wall. Another wall has a colorful montage of pyramids, Big Ben, an hourglass, and a clock. A wavy, architectural ceiling treatment runs across the length of the dining room, enhancing the modern design.

Customer Reviews

This place is amazing! The staff is super friendly and funny, and the food was amazing! Decided to try their California club sandwich and man, it was just so good. The service was a little slow but the food definitely made up for it. Not to mention their pretzel bites haha, those were a perfect appetizer. The music taste in here is also just another great part of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

You must try the Mushroom soup! The pizza was excellent and a small one looks really small but definitely filling. My daughter had the pizza burger and she said it was amazing but wasn't able to finish it. We had 3 small specialty pizzas, pizza burger, Mushroom soup, cheese bread appetizer, 3 sprites and 2 beers for $95. Really good service as well. Update: We have been here about 4 more times since this initial review and still absolutely love it.
