Yellow Mushroom Restaurant & Bridgeman’s Soda Fntn

Good local pizza joint, with other items for the non pizza lovers. Thin crust pie, cut in squares. Pizza was really good, place was clean, and the service was friendly. I’m sure we’ll be back when we’re in the area!

This is the best pizza place in Waseca! My mom used to waitress here back when she was in high school, so I grew up on this pizza. Great, flavorful, thin crust pizza. You order at the front counter now and self-​serve beverages, so don’t expect a waitress. But the food is amazing, so I don’t mind getting my own drink! Highly recommend! I moved to Blaine, but visit this place whenever I’m in the area!

After hearing good review after good review from my family, coworkers, friends, and locals we finally got around to trying this place… and I was so sorely disappointed.
We walked in Friday evening knowing that it might be busy and weren’t greeted at all. A kid wearing a tie-​dye t-​shirt slowly made his way over to us after looking at us what seemed like three times. We weren’t sure what we wanted so we decided to grab a menu and take a seat at a table. After taking a peek we all knew what we wanted and walked back to the counter and placed our order to jokes about how we all ordered water but the soda and water cups are the same «ha-​ha.»
My fiancé and I both got gyro’s with the tzatziki on the side, the little sis got breadsticks with marinara for dipping. We drew on place mats, talked, played on our phones… waited while listening to the terrible drone of the music they had playing. After about a half hour a rather young looking girl made an entire round of the dining room asking each table (but ours) if they had ordered breadsticks. After failing to convince each table to take them she finally noticed us and walked over to see if we had indeed ordered them. After saying yes, she then thrust them across the table to my sister and asked if we wanted our chicken now.
Umm. what?
We explained that we had ordered the gyros she ran back in the kitchen and grabbed the gyros that had obviously been sitting under a warming lamp while they tried to figure out who had ordered what amongst the four tables that were seated. Apparently there is a lost art here of assigning orders to tables that every restaurant but this one has figured out.
I’m not one to complain too terribly much about food at a restaurant that isn’t «fine» dining, but to give me my food without plating it and checking the ticket is… pretty poor. There was no sauce, at all.
I sat for a few minutes waiting to see if anyone was going to see if we were enjoying our food and when it became painfully obvious that they weren’t I walked up to the counter and asked loudly if I could have the sauce that we BOTH ordered and did not receive. The woman running the kitchen (who had been seated at a table eating and talking when we walked in) said that she «was so busy she forgot» and didn’t apologize at all.
At the end of the very lackluster meal that contained no service at all I had to once again go to the counter to ask for a to-​go container in which the same woman told me to retrieve it myself from the stack just in the kitchen.
This place is so not worth it. The food wasn’t very good, the service was TERRIBLE, and for the price… we should have just gone to Barney’s Drive In.

Lot of co-​workers like it. I tried it once. Nothing famous. Regular pizza pie to me. Has weird hours and no web site.

Love the pizza! The only complaint I have is they are a bit skimpy with the toppings, but overall it has a great taste and is really good!

Great, flavorful, unique thin crust pizza. The BBQ wings are sweet and slightly spicy with a hint of vinegar. Perfect. Blue cheese is good too. Nice atmosphere. Just right. Didn’t try any ice cream, but they are also a Bridgeman’s.

This has got to be one of the better pizza places i have been too. They have amazing thin crust and this is a must visit place.

I LOVE Yellow Mushroom! Whenever I come back to Minnesota I go out of my way to eat here! Love the fireplace, LOVE the pizza!!! the broasted chicken is excellent too! Great memories of my free birthday pizza and sundae from when I was a kid… now I am bringing my kids, too.

We ran over to Yellow Mushroom for a quick lunch because it is close to the office that I was visiting. Reminds me alot of St. Louis style pizza with different cheese. The service was very friendly (as with all the people I have met in Mn). My only complaint is the crust was a little on the soft side.

I used to waitress here back in high school, and although the building has been updated as well as staff, the pizza’s still great!
If you like thin crust that’s substantial and crispy on the bottom with lots of gooey cheese and ample toppings, this is for you!
The cheeseburger pizza and house special are fantastic, and if you go on the right day you can get a great deal.
After 8 p.m., 8-​inch pizzas with one topping are cheap.
Yellow Mushroom Thursday — buy one get one free medium and large pizzas!
But pizza isn’t all they have.
They also do home-​made friend chicken and mexican dishes…
Oh, and how could I forget… Bridgeman’s Icecream! The Raspberry Fudge Torte is my personal favorite, but they also have classics like bubblegum, butter pecan, chocolate chip, cookies and cream, etc.
If you’re brave, order the Lalapalooza. Eat all 8 scoops and get a free button!
Why only 4 stars?
Because I’ve had a few friends say the pizza is too «greasy.»
I just tell them to man up!
