To Owners, you should really consider covering the bright window so your first booth can be sat around 6!! We got the last booth avail and then saw 3 parties try to sit in the too much glare booth as they were warned by the hostess, and then upset that the only seating left was upstairs. The happy hour was good, I tried the house margarita, tinga taco, and an al pastor taco as well. I really didn't like how small the plate with the taco was, the tacos were almost falling off of the plate. I eat a lot of tacos at different restaurants and the entire experience was messed up because the 2 tacos were falling into each other on the really small plate. I liked the tinga taco but not the Al Pastor. Might come back for the atmosphere.

I went here for lunch recently and regret going. I chose an outside table because the weather was pleasant enough to justify it. The waitress seemed cheerful, but inexperienced. She took a while just to get my water and when she was taking my order she got distracted by a couple of her "friends" who were walking past the restaurant. She called out to them and started up a conversation with me just sitting there waiting for her to take my order. After five minutes of this nonsense, I decided I had enough. I firmly reminded her that I was a customer and since she was on the clock, I was to be her priority. Her friends walked away, giving me the evil eye. She rolled her eyes at me and proceeded to take my order. I ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza. After 40 minutes she came back with a vegetarian pizza. i calmly pointed out that she had gotten my order wrong and she disappeared for another 20 minutes. Another waitress came out and apologized for the bad service, asking me if I wanted to wait a little longer for my lunch. I said no and left the Mellow Mushroom. No sooner had I exited the door I was practically cornered by some homeless booze hound. He wanted spare change, reasoning that since I was "rich enough" to eat here, I should be able to be able to spare him a little money. The whole experience ruined any good impressions I had about Mill Avenue in general.

I am a HUGE fan of Pinky's. It's definitely one of my go-to lunch/low-key dinner places. The fried pickles are absolutely a must. I'd rather get them on the side of my burger than fries - they're that good. They're exactly the right ratio of salty pickle to crisp breading. You also have to try at least one thing "Ding Dong Style." I would never have thought of putting peanut butter and saracha on a sandwich, but as a combo, it can't be beat! The Ding Dong Chicken is one of my favorites. The wait staff is always fast, friendly and helpful, too, so it's a pleasure to grab a bite here.

Very basic diner. Decent coffee and service, but otherwise disappointing. Instead of going with the inexpensive artery clogging traditional diner breakfast, I paid $8 for "protein power pancakes" which looked great but seemed to have vinegar in the batter. A very sour and unpleasant taste, so they were inedible. I complained but was still charged the full price. I won't be returning.
