Toms River: We heard some ugly rumors that Mellow Mushroom was closing for good. We called the manager and he informed us the restaurant is closed for tonight due to running out of food. He expects a delivery truck tomorrow and they will be reopened with proper staff and product on hand. Rest assured they are NOT going out of business!
Laura Michelle
Place sucks. Sat there for 30 mins never even got our drinks. So we left. Never going there again even if the meal is free
Lester?
Ronald Smith if it happened
yea and they weren’t not even busy.
Jordyn Osmond
Amanda Fitzgerald
Where did you hear they are closing down for good
Michael Mchale
Where does it say FOR GOOD?
“Shut Down Effective Immediately” made it sound like they’re out of business! Could of just said “Closing Early For The Night”
Could have would have should have. They were, in fact, shutting down immediately at the time of posting.
running out of food? That manager should be fired lol that is embarrassing. food delivery trucks usually only come monday through friday.
Paul Butow should? Who is anyone to say? Shit happens
1st time there 90 minutes for a pizza, 2nd time 1 hour for a phone ordered pie…Haven’t been there since they opened
I wrote they are closing down effective immediately
Michael Mchale and u know this how
Michael Mchale it’s NOT exciting news unless they’re closing down for good, why’d you bother posting it? Or at least say “Due to a shortage of food they’re closing for the night”, simply put…Restaurants do close early for many reasons…
Thomas McMurray we got words from a GrubHub driver who specifically stated that the manager informed him they are no longer able to sell food at this location a specific reason was not cited
Michael Mchale
Someone messaged us claiming to be a Grub Hub driver.
What was his initials
Didn’t think so
Michael Mchale
Jack
Jack Bakers is closing now!!!!!
White Castle is closed on 37 tonight, what is going on?
Greg Bleeker yup but yet the page admins decide what is exciting news. Not plebeians
Chris Kuhn
It’s really closed?
OK now, who is posting the Fake News? Drivers name is Anthony!
Michael Mchale could of just meant because they did run out of food. Maybe grub hub driver didn’t interpret it right or just maybe the manager didn’t make it clear!!!
Chris Kuhn sorry no great loss there!!!
Jamie Dattoli
Who cares
Matthew Still-well why post
Matthew Still-well the people that went there to eat you idiot
wow such name calling… all because they ran out of food.
Scott A Barnes why reply
Running out of food? Wth. Went there once not impressed
Alyse problem solved
wonderful
Alyssa Marie
Julio Rojas running out of food ?
Lol bs story
Something about that doesn’t seem right. Well managed restaurants don’t just run out of food. ?
Wow that’s pretty bad. Went there and had horrible service but the bar was good though.
Victoria Rinaldi
Mike Zió never even heard of the place
Elaine Sframeli Clarke
How does a chain restaurant run out of food…almost sounds like board of health issue
Tom Ernst shit happens
Run out of food?
Kay Sey ???♀️
Robert Muller… this sounds odd??
Shannon Christensen
??♂️
Robert Muller they had amazing pizza. The entertainment wasn’t too bad either
Shannon Christensen
?
Denise DeBenedetto Winstead… weird they ran out of food??
Shannon Christensen sounds like they’re having some management issues
We were there Tuesday and they ran out of milk and apple juice, despite it being “Kids Eat Free” night. Seems like a trend.
Evan Schlisserman on top of that it took about half an hour for drinks and over an hour for pizza. It was odd as the restaurant was dead ??♀️
Christy Yachinski
They also advertise a pizza that has red potatoes on it, yet when ordered you’re told they dont do that anymore, they put tater tots on instead ?
Cassie Wands Napoleon Dynamite wouldn’t mind that
Cassie Wands small thing to contest though
Either board of health problems or someone don’t know how to order or the manager that does the ordering trying to cut cost so they get more money in their bonus. The kitchen manager used to do that b.s. at Friday’s in Tom’s River
Jeff Parker sounds to me like whoever is overseeing the ordering doesn’t know what the hell their doing.
Sounds to familiar like another establishment I know. People need to learn how a business is ran before they become a manager of one and or even an owner. SMH.
I worked in a few restaurants and sometimes it is the managers fault for not ordering enough food. Also I have encountered where the truck broke down and couldn’t make the delivery. It could be a few different scenarios. But on my visits the few staff people were friendly, kitchen a little slow but I was enjoying the company I was with so I didn’t mind!!
Heard they have an issue with paying their vendors so yeah, they will run out of food since they aren’t paying the people that supply their food.
Jennifer Martinez poorly ran businesses don’t last long. They’ll probably be closed up soon.
Jennifer Martinez badly run even the one in Fort Lauderdale closed. Now that’s bad!
Whether we dine in or take out, they always manage to extensively fuck it up. Not surprised they “ran out of food” lmao
They should close for good. They’re terrible and overpriced.
Lisa Clayton how are they terrible?
Scott A Barnes the pizza is awful.
Anthony Belluardo the reason i ask is way too many think they have golden palates or are food critics. Or in this case, pizza experts. Mainly curious
Scott A Barnes I’m an Italian man from New Jersey, my opinion on pizza is always valid!
Anthony Belluardo well it’s true Hoboken, Lodi, Brooklyn n one teeny hole in the wall in Hell’s Kitchen has the best pie.. love the answer though lol
Scott A Barnes I guess it is what you order, I never had a problem!!
Anthony Belluardo everyone’s taste is different! What you like maybe others don’t!! I always say that is why they make different flavor ice cream. Don’t like you can always go somewhere else
I was there at 8 pm…all was normal
Hi everyone this is Lester, the service manager at Mellow Mushroom Toms River. We apologize sincerely to our guest for closing early this evening. There was a slight issue with our food distribution company which prohibited us from delivering tha quality dining experience with the meals you know we are capable of preparing. We will be back to normal business tomorrow October 27, 2019
Lester Ward
Thanks- I love your place and would be sad to see it go!
Ocean County Scanner News Thanks for getting back to us! We are busy prepping up all the fresh, delicious food for tomorrow!
??
Ocean County Scanner News let us know the status tomorrow.
Lester Ward don’t worry about it or those fake critics on here with fake golden palates.
I was there tonight. They were out of cheddar cheese and meatballs when we tried to order. What we did order was good. They messed up the kids order and brought another one out which was nice. The server was an idiot. He asked me if I wanted another beer and I said yes and then took my half full one away, messed up food order, he was attentive but lacked skills to talk to people. The food was good. The wings barely had any sauce on them but I guess I know why now but was still good
Derek Andrew thank you won’t go there again
When the manager picked up the phone, did you ask him if corporate still allows him to have his job for letting “food run out” LOL on a Saturday night?
Hahaha, right ! ? Why would you even be stupid enough to tell somebody that ???? I would be too embarrassed to say that I was the manager and my restaurant ran outa food, he or she doesn’t sound to bright.
I like them. They’re different, the bar has a lot of games, and they have a very irreverent take on pizza. If I’m not mistaken, they’re the only one in the state (you see a lot more in the southeast, especially Georgia & Florida), so I hope they stick around.
Michael De Fortuna I believe there’s one in Myrtle Beach
kari, yes there is
Hmmm, not buying this one
This is weird lol
How do u run out of food calling bullshit
Linda Vizzacchero Arellano more like they didn’t pay the vendor and we’ll… No money.. No food..
I mean seriously what business has to close because of lack of supplies especially on a weekend with Football season?
Laura Rojas-Huffman exactly
My son has a restaurant and that never happens ever something isn’t right
They closing
Kenny Drumm for the night. Oof.
?
I once went to a Denny’s in San Jose, California that ran out of milk. They had to send one of their workers out to the grocery store to get some so they could finish making my cousins pancakes, amongst other patrons food ??♀️
Who cares? Nobody goes there
Meg Licata I live across from them, though I’ve never been in there, their parking lots are filled up every night, with a few cars left over night I’m guessing with drunk people who did the smart thing and got a ride, orrr a female who left her car there and went to get some ???♂️??♂️??♂️
We go there. They serve healthy options and have an allergen menu for my daughter.
Dump is over priced
Went there once and I wasn’t impressed at all. Doesn’t add up that a restaurant runs out of food on a weekend and closes for the day.
Marion Pasqualetto-Saglembeni we weren’t impressed either ?♀️
Wow ?
Coming Soon!!! Another Vacant Building ?♀️…..to be continued..?
You know why they run out of food? Its because they are practically bankrupt. They have no money to pay for booze or food or even their employees. I even had $4 checks bounce. lmao.
Costed me 100 bucks to take my daughter there for her sweet 16 and seriously she wasn’t impressed. She is a serious pizza lover but she said she wouldn’t eat there again. I’ll stick to my family owned pizza place that we use!
The last time I was there with friends our food never made it to us. We found it cold on the bar, then trying to get a drink from the bartender and he walked away and never came back! And now they’re running out of food? If they aren’t closing down today, I don’t think they have long to go.
That place sucks
Shari Erlenmeyer
Never been But running out of food really
How does a restaurant run out of unless the didn’t pay the suppler. That’s like wawa closing for the night cause they ran out of coffee
True ….sounds to me like they will be closed shortly either way.You only run out of food if you can’t afford to pay your supplier is exactly right. I’ve been in the restaurant business a very long time. I was going to go for a job there not long ago I’m really glad that I chose not to I heard really bad things about them. I wouldn’t spend a dime there.
We have been to 2 locations in Tennessee and they were awesome. I was so excited they were coming close to home. We went once and it was so underwhelming I’ve never been back.
Pizza by a national franchise’s recipe… or mom-and-pop artisan-crafted pizza… ?
Domino’s vs. Denino’s… ? Well, 512 successful local pizzerias can’t be wrong!
We were there last night about 6:30. Friends ordered the loaded potato pizza and a little while later came back and said they didn’t have potatoes. Before we ordered our waiter told us they were out of meatballs. I had a plain cheese pizza and it wasn’t good. How the hell do you screw up plain pizza. We will never go back.
A successful restaurant never runs out of food. Was there 1x not impressed.
Love the mushroom!
That place fucking suuuuucks
Place is a shit hole. Something better should take its place
Service was awful..server never came back to table. Food sucks. You only run out of food when you dont pay your purveyor. Yuck
Lol yeah ok how do u run out of food its done
Went there once our waiter was fucked up on dope and fucked up our order beyond belief. Food was pretty good though
Jay Mack
Tried it once. It was gross and didn’t see what the hype was about.
Michele Lea
It’s been for sale for a while. It’s not long before it’s full-time closing
Bill Thomas really how much ?
Melissa Mordecai
Madyson Takas ?
Michelle Griggs we aren’t going out business. We just closed early last night.
Madyson Takas I figured as much!
They “ran out of food” ???? I’m sorry but what kind of restaurant runs out of food?
Not a fan!
Yes , we went there when they first opened and the waitress was horrible! No plates or anything! I figured it was just her but I see people still complaining
New manager is trying his best to get it going properly.
Too bad, that place is horrible!
Most restaurants go to Costco or restaurant depot if they run out. Sounds like ingredients they could have purchased. Closing on a Saturday night is insane. Lost all the bar business too. Very strange
How does a restaurant run out of food? Sounds like they are behind on bills ?♂️
They should close for good their food is awful
