Great meal great service. I'll be back!........................................................ ............

Maddie is so sweet and nice!!!!!!! everyone is so welcoming and kind. always have a great time here.

A group of us got together for breakfast this morning, and it was great. I had the Brioche French Toast Le Grande and it was very good. It was stuffed with an orange and cream cheese marmalade and topped with berries, and came with eggs and choice of sausage or bacon. The French toast was so moist and delicious. What a great stop for breakfast and coffee. read more

Went here for dinner with my husband one night, mainly because we were looking for a chicken pot pie. The parking lot was not full at all and there were only 3 parties inside the restaurant. The waiting area looked a bit cluttered and unorganized. We go seated quickly. I ordered the brioche burger and my husband ordered the chicken pot pie with a house salad. We also got bread and butter - we had to ask for it. Then food was just average - nothing special about it. I want to try their 3 course dinner for $31.99 in the future. I also want to try desserts from their dessert fridge. read more

I ordered the seasonal boneless braised short ribs since I have been thinking about that dish but not many places have it. So I was very excited to see their ad for this seasonal menu item. Inside was quite empty but the customer service was fantastic. The waitress/hostess was so nice! Inside was nicely decorated. Very home style vibes. The food has been inconsistent every time I've come for the short ribs. Once they didn't have it but told me they did and had me wait for about 30 minutes after they took my order. A different time they gave me something completely different. Not sure what cut of meat it was but it was not tender at all & it was so tough I couldn't even cut through it with my knife. Besides the protein, the mashed potatoes and the veggie sides were great. Food = bad, but for the most part service = decent read more

Came for an early dinner on the road to home and we were promptly seated and drink order taken. Service was attentive the whole time, food was as expected and all was great! The wings were a bit pricey and the same cost as the meal . I ordered a honey bran muffin to go, and they are smaller than I remember. So many Mimi's have closed that it was nice to see one still here. It was good, but nothing really great or special. I would probably pick a different place next time I'm in the area. read more

Once again, we had a wonderful brunch date here. Their muffins are a must try! I enjoyed their chilaquiles, while my husband ordered an omelette. We can't wait to visit this restaurant again. 5/5 stars for food, ambiance, and great service read more

This Mimi's Cafe has been open since I was in high school. That's like over 20 years ago. I only went there once when it first opened and for some reason, I told my life let's go to Mini's Cafe. I got the pot pie which had a good amount of chicken. I do prefer more sauce in it. My wife got the burger which was decent. The food doesn't wow me, but it feels kind of homey. Like that feeling when Marie Callendars was still around. Are waitress was nice and attentive. I give it 3 stars, because it doesn't wow me, but it is a solid restaurant. read more

Came here with a group of 10 friends for breakfast; greeted and seated within minutes. All of us, except for 3, got coffee which was piping hot and fresh. Popular plates ordered were the Salmon Benedict, Chicken and waffles and the chorizo breakfast omelette. Everyone enjoyed their plates; I thought my omelette was ok. The chorizo was ground too fine and overcooked; I wish there was more of a chew to it, or at least have them diced. Waitress was attentive with refilling water and coffee. Overall a good breakfast for the group; just wish mine was "raveable" (it was a new item to the menu too). read more

It's been a long time since we've eaten at Mimi's Cafe. We were here celebrating my brother in law's birthday. I was surprised the parking lot seemed empty. Well, to be fair, the parking lot to all the businesses in this side of the shopping center looks like a ghost town. Ample parking for sure. We were a group of ten for Sunday dinner. I ordered the French Quarter Burger without the bun with a side house salad. It was delicious! I was told the Bacon Bleu Cheese & Walnut salad was good. The Asian Chicken Salad was another hit. I was told the Jambalaya was delicious! The French Pot Roast was amazing. The Mushroom & Brie Melt was good. The Turkey Royale and the Five-Way Grilled Cheese were good. The warm bread and butter was devoured by our group FAST! The different muffins were also a hit. Especially the upside down pineapple muffins. Overall, we enjoyed our outing. A shared family meal is always a blessing. Our waitress worked hard bringing the meals and refilling the drinks. She checked in on us often. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The price point was very competitive. read more

Wait for food was 1 hr for brunch on mother's day and most of the food was cold. The manager only comped 2 of the breakfast meals. Service was terrible. Hope this mini's follows the other ones and closes down read more

It's been a while since I've been here. There muffins come out pipping hot. When I cut into it, I saw steam coming out. You can't get it better than that! Mimi still have the best muffin in town! The green goddess salad with salmon was delicious. It's a good place to meet up and share a few dishes and just catch up with family and friends. read more

Great service from Alex. As a server myself I always appreciate the good ones. His positive attitude is contagious and I saw him very kindly dealing with a large group who split the check into a million tabs and had the nerve to rush him by standing at the table while waiting for him to run all their cards. He remained gracious and calm despite the stressful situation and immediately attended to us providing efficient service and hot/fresh food. We love the ambiance and variety of yummy options! read more

Great service. Great food!! I ordered a veggie egg whites omelette. Many other times, the food was delicious too!! They do not disappoint!! Next time I'll try the salmon benedict or chicken & waffles. read more

It's not what it used to be. There was hardly any customers and the service took a long time, not enough help! The carrot muffin was terrible, I remember having pieces of carrots and raisins Haven't been here in years and I will not be coming back! read more

My review is solely on their holiday menu and service. We always seem to visit for the holidays, but be sure to make a reservation! Even with a reservation, you're bound to wait. Our waits averaged from 30-40 minutes, WITH a reservation. Imagine if you don't. Whomever are the staff seating people should figure out a new strategy. Their holiday menu is pretty small, but if they offer brunch it helps with your selection. The lunch menu has big portions. We enjoyed their steak and shrimp pasta. Although we like their brunch menu better. Our server was so sweet! I wish I got her name because she deserves some recognition for being able to handle so many people during that time period, while being super nice and calm. Thank you to our server for making our time pleasant! read more

We met friends at Mimi's for brunch and it was delightful. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We all ordered the cheese & bacon omelet with avocado. I really enjoyed the fresh blueberry muffin too. The only issue was that it took 60 minutes to get the food placed in front of us. We were getting low blood sugar by then! read more

We came for Mother's Day, and while I usually give restaurants grace on busy holidays, this experience was disappointing. The lobby was messy and covered in leaves, which wasn't a great first impression. It took about 20 minutes just to get water and place our order, and another 35-40 minutes to receive our food. I ordered the quiche and potatoes, but unfortunately, the food didn't taste fresh. What really threw me off was watching a server shake vegetables out of plastic microwaveable packaging directly onto a plate--something I've never seen in a dine-in restaurant. Throughout the meal, no one came by to refill our waters or check in on us, and after we finished eating, we waited over 20 minutes just to get the check. The only highlight was the muffins--they were genuinely delicious and the best part of the meal. read more

Today, we went to Mimi's for dinner and it was not good. They had a special menu, because it was Mother's Day, but nothing on the menu was very appetizing and they charged $36 per person. One of our meals was the chicken and it wasn't fully cooked, the gravy on the pot roast was not tasty, and the food was not hot. We returned the chicken and got the turkey and it was not good. The service wasn't great either. The waitress appeared to get a little irritated when my mom couldn't make a decision(my mom has dementia). Our empty plates were piled on the table and we had to make room for our entrees. To top it off the manager came to the table to tell us that all of the chicken is pink and it had been cooking for hours. This will not be my Mother's Day restaurant in the future. One family came in looked at the menu and left...they were smart. read more

Decided to order to-go breakfast. I ordered a two-egg cornbeef hash breakfast with carrot muffin on the side. Not my typical breakfast order but I felt like some cornbeef hash. Least to say, I was disappointed. My "plate" container was very skimpy that I thought I didnt even receive any corn beef hash. I moved potatoes around and found maybe a spoon full of corn beef hash. A bit frustrating because I usually like breakfast here when I dine-in. For the price I pay $19.22, I expect my to-go meals to be the exact same as if I were to sit in the restaurant. If you're going to give me half the entree, charge me half the price. But of course, that will never be the case. Not sure if I'd order breakfast to-go again. We'll see. On a positive note, my order was ready and on-time. The service was slow in acknowledging me but was friendly. So my suggestion, Mimi's, I think you need to re-evaluate how you send out your orders to-go since more restaurants will be opening up in EG in the near future, you will have to compete for patrons. Something to think about. read more

Is been a long time since I've been to Mimi's so we decided to give it a try for breakfast. We were welcomed and sat promptly. It was pretty empty when we arrived. The inside reminded me of a cottage. Service was pretty good and pleasant in the beginning with the ordering of our drinks and food but didn't remain the same. My coffee was cold and I couldn't find her to ask for a hot coffee... when our food arrived, they added hot coffee to my cold coffee. They don't offer flavored creamer. I did enjoy the blueberry muffin that came prior to my food. It was a warm and fluffy muffin. My omelette was pretty good as well as the potatoes. We weren't rushed which was nice and our server was nice. read more

Visited Mimi's today for a muffin sundae. The staff was very nice. They explained the seasonal menu and took my order right away. My order was to go. The staff was very attentive asking if there was anything else I needed with my typical order. The Sunday looked great and tasted great. I would definitely order again. read more

It took about 50 minutes for my wife and I to get our food and when we finally got it, it was not fresh. It seemed like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Our food was just warm- not hot as if it was just done being cooked. My wife ordered some crepes and I ordered the crab cakes eggs benedict. My crab cakes were not good because they messed up on the eggs, so it was disappointing. I will not get the eggs benedict again. At the end of it all, the waiter Robert dropped silverware into my wife's pumpkin latte, which splashed all on the table and on her. He gave us a muffin for compensation, so that was nice. read more

Chose to visit Mimi's today for breakfast since we were off work and hadn't been in so long. I know Mimi's changed some time ago after the company was apparently sold? Many locations closed and I'd kept hearing the quality dropped off among other things. The service today was great! The food was ok but definitely wasn't what I remember. The character of the interior is also gone. Used to have a New Orleans/French Quarter feel to it. Instead, the music was like a top 40 station. There's a makeshift wall with a lattice along the top that looks so bad. The building even used to be a nice gold-ish color but it's been a pasty stale white for a long time and it's kind of indicative of what things have become. Another loss is no more muffins while you wait for your order. I hope someday the old Mimis could return. read more

This restaurant is consistent within the chain and therefore reliable to provide good service and good food. My salad was very fresh and tasty. My guest had the fish and chips but preferred a small salad to French fries - the fries substitution surprisingly was an additional fee but I paid it. The fish pieces looked small. The waiter seemed a little overwhelmed during the lunch hour as my water glass was empty for a while before I could request a refill, and without asking about dessert he gave us our bill. I requested a dessert menu (which was slim) and after dessert received a separate bill (usually the tab is usually reworked). These minor issues wouldn't stop me from returning. read more

Nice subtle sit down restaurant, I got the Florentine eggs Benedict with a side of basil pesto, the egg was nice, fluffy and yolky, the potatoes give it a nice complement as the meal doesn't give the impression of a heavy meal, more of a simple meal.

This place was nice, with friendly staff and good food. Good customer service skills and booths were a decent size for us two to sit. And they have lots of space for parking. The restaurant was a little older but clean. We had a flight of mimosas with an extra champagne bottle on the side. It's the right way to drink. They are really small bottles so it balances out. The food was really good. No complaints. I had the smoked salmon Benedict. The waitress was attentive and didn't wait too long between tables to check on us and see if we needed anything. Overall good experience. read more
