I have eaten here a few times, the service is always slow. Now, they are always packed, but maybe they should staff more people, just a thought. The food is typical suburb fare. Some is really good, such as the muffins and other baked goods. However, I was very disappointed in my last visit. Having ordered a turkey club sandwich, I asked for it on a croissant. I figure if I am eating bacon, might as go all the way. The sandwich was fine, nothing to write home about. What pissed me off was the fact they changed me 2.50 for the croissant, with out telling me there would be an additional charge. Not that 2.50 is a big deal, it's the principal. My gf thought her soup was fine, she got a clam chowder, but it wasn't anything to write home about either. The food here again, is fine, just a little bland, not too exciting and on the pricey side for what it is. But, in all fairness, it is a chain... Also, we had to wait over 20 minutes for the server to come back so we could pay. I will eat here again, if going with a group, but not my top choice of Folsom eateries. read more

Nice relaxed ambiance, friendly and somewhat-slower-paced waitress (ok given that she was new), ok-ish food. I like that they have plates in a section called "just enough" section, which involves much smaller (but reasonable) portions for slightly lower prices. Had the special of the month, 3-courses for about $12 - french onion soup (pretty tasty), shrimp fettuccine (acceptable, decent amount of shrimp that was cooked just right), and a triple-chocolate brownie a la mode (pretty hard to screw that up). My friend had the grilled salmon and mashed potatoes, which were acceptable as well. Not bad. read more

Had lunch here for the first time today. Walked in around 12:30. There was no wait and we were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was prompt and friendly. He kept our drinks full and checked in on us regularly. "A+" for service. The food was ok. Nothing impressive but certainly not bad. I'd rate the food a solid "C". Would I come back? Probably but not often and not as my first choice. Certainly not enough to win any Yelp check in trophies. read more

I like Mimi's for an easy place with kids. First - they have the rubbermaid high chairs. I despise the wooden death trap chairs at nearly every restaurant under the sun. The manufacturer of those chairs should be forced to sit in one. They always bring out a snack for the kids at the beginning. So I love that they understand and cater to families. The food - is hit or miss. In general it's pretty good. Don't order seafood. Sometimes the turkey has a goofy taste... for me... it doesn't taste fresh. They have a great bread basket. Breakfast is always good. We've had good and bad wait service... it's a chain... what do you expect? read more

The food is good but the really interesting thing is to observe the people working there from the washed up waitresses to the bussers with the walkie-talkie ear peices(like they are secret service agents or something, lol). I must say that they do have fantastic muffins. The blueberry ones are to die for. The pot roast is really tasty. read more

The host (a blonde male) needs more training on how to be a host. Because when we entered the restaurant there was a couple already waiting to be seated. And the four of us waited and stood there waiting for someone (the host). We waited 2 minutes. The host finally came and he took the first couple to a booth. After seating the first couple the blonde male host instead decided to answer the phone instead of seating us first. Our waitress Amanda is fabulous. She smiled a lot and is nice and friendly. The food was delicious but quantity of food was not comparable to the price. The price was too much and not enough food. read more

Did not receive good service here and saw the manager acting completely unprofessional toward a party of 2 who was trying to be seated. There were lots of empty tables and he couldn't accommodate them. He basically told them to go to Lazy Dog. read more

OMG, save yourself some aggravation! Don't eat here if you're in any kind of a hurry. Our grandson, his girlfriend and us stopped in for lunch. Talk about ZERO SERVICE! It took 50 minutes for us to get served. On the rare times we saw anyone she was so rushed, you could barely ask for anything! Our grandson ordered a wedge salad, and instead got a spinach salad? Hubby ordered a waffle which of course was cold, wouldn't even melt the butter. I ordered the turkey cobb which was delicious. This place was completely unacceptable. Save your time and money, eat some place else! There are too many great restaurants in the area who appreciate your patronage and provide excellent service. read more

I do not know what has happened to Mimi's in Folsom. The food quality over the last couple of years has really deteriorated. We just tried again tonight and had a terrible meal. The food was cold and the quality was not good. I had meat loaf and could not eat it. The cold slaw had no taste. Over the last couple of years the quality has gone down and down. When they seen I had not hardly ate any of the food they never ask if there was a problem. We had already stated that the mashed potatoes were cold. But they did seem to care. It is really too bad that this restaurant has gone down. The buck always stops with management. Don't go to Mimi's in Folsom read more

Pleasantly quiet place with lots of room and fast happy service. Sad muffin is too soft not finished cooking. Ok, but too much sugar in the food? It always scares me when overweight people come in and sit close they need smaller portions on the menu. read more

Came here because I was craving breakfast..FAIL. Cold, waaaay undercooked food, French toast and eggs isn't rocket science. The cooks need to take more time making sure that the food they make is edible before leaving the kitchen. Next time we'll go to Karen's bakery in folsom. Chain restaurants are a joke. read more

Wish there was a negative star I could give to this restaurant. Horrible service!! When we walked in they said wait time would be 15-20 mins. So we grab a chair and wait for us to be called. 45 mins into the wait and seeing numerous groups of people being called, who walked in way after we were at the restaurant, hubby walks over to ask how much longer and they say "another 15-20mins". Seriously!!! Horrible service. Will never ever step into this place again. read more

Horrible service here today from Kerstin. She seemed like she was in such a hurry when the place wasn't even crowded. She got my sons order wrong and didn't even ask him if he wanted a refill on his OJ. We used to come here all the time but this will be our last. It's the second time in a row where the food was salty and the service was terrible. Two thumbs down for Mimi's. read more

Went There for Thanksgiving. We felt really rushed we ate two bites of our salad and our dinner came. We had to ask for bread and they use to give you that right away. The waiter was great. But dont think will go back next year . Sad use to be so great. read more

Having dinner with the family on Saturday night. We had a pleasant dinner, even though they overcooked my steak. The manager was nice enough to offer to comp my entree and gave us 4 pack of muffin to take home. I understand mistakes can happen, but my kids thought it was nice for the manager to come and apologize. I thought so too. Everything else was delicious. read more

My husband and I wanted to try something new were trying to think of new places when we passed Mimi's Cafe and thought we'd give it a shot. We had our 3 year old daughter with us so we were looking for someone family oriented. It was pretty slow and looked clean. We were seated right away and given menu's to look over. I had to flag down the waiter to take our drink order after 10 minutes, then again about 10 minutes later to place out food order. When I was placing our drink order, I told the waiter to get my daughter a water but she asked for an orange juice which he brought her (without asking me if it was OK) after I told him she wanted a water. Through out the whole meal we had to repeatedly ask for things like refills or condiments. I ordered the bacon chicken burger (WITHOUT avocado because I'm allergic) with french fries and my husband ordered the 5 cheese grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. We got the mac and cheese with veggies for my daughter. My husbands and daughters food was brought first and my plate came almost 10 minutes later. After looking through my food, I realized it had avocados and had to flag down the waiter again to have it fixed. About 15 minutes later (once my husband and now restless daughter were finished eating! ) My food finally came and it was flavorless/bland/ tasteless grilled chicken with chewy cartilage chunks in it. While I was trying to quickly finish my meal, the waiter was nice and conversing with our daughter and gave her crayons to keep her entertained. Then he decided to ask our daughter (without consulting me ONCE AGAIN!) what kind of dessert she wanted and placed the order without asking my husband or my permission. I was frustrated and about to complain but held my tongue. I figured I would make a complaint at the end of this whole experience. After sitting around for 15 minutes, my husband flagged the waiter down once again to ask for the check. When the check came I saw that the waiter didn't charge my daughter for her entree or dessert and thought we were about even. The waiter was a nice guy (when he was around...) but the food was nothing special and the waiting around is what took it from 2 stars to 1 star. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING THERE AGAIN! read more

Expand you're beer selection, annoying that there is 8 light wheat beers and not a single stronger IPA or something more hoppy.

What a great place! Vicki was our server and I've never received such outstanding service! The food was delicious second only to the great attention that Vicki gave us! This will be our new spot for sure! read more

One of the most dedicated Mimi's staff I've seen is Jessica P. She always has a smile and takes care of us each time. We loved the free bread and butter we even got a second one. How great. The best item I liked on the menu is the Parmesan crusted chicken spaghetti. Thank you Jessica. read more

Me and my mother recently came here for breakfast, and were greeted right away. We were sat down at our table and our waitress Iyanna came promptly greeted us and asked us for our drinks order. Once our drinks were ordered she took our food order and it came out really quick she was very attentive to our needs as well as all the other tables she was working! I've always enjoyed the food at Mimi's no complaints, it's even better when you have great service with it! Looking forward to going back for dinner!! read more

I rarely write a review, but this one really irritated me. We were sitting for approximately 11 minutes and was never approached by one of the staff to even at least offer drinks. It is not as busy and yet we were ignored by passing staff, started the morning with a beautiful smile but cut shortly after a poor service. Timeline-16 minutes after we were seated, drinks was offerred. I love mimi's cafe and treat our servers well but this one failed us. read more

Yummy! I really enjoyed this place! I came here with my Mom and Grandmother for a nice quiet lunch together. We all wanted to try the soups so I ordered the French onion as did my Mother, and my Grandmother tried the corn chowder which she said was delicious. The French onion soup was wonderful, full of flavor and so tasty. Next I got the Bouillabaisse, which is seafood heaven to say the least. Mom had beef pot roast which was tender and juicy, and my Grandmother tried the chicken pot pie. To drink we had sunrise mimosas, it was perfect! The service was excellent, I wish I could remember our servers name she was attentive, friendly and seemed on top of it. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is it did seem a bit outdated, but nothing I can't handle. I will be back! read more

My half roasted chicken was dry and not seasoned well enough, but on the other hand my wife's French pot roast was incredibly delicious. Everything else was great, service and atmosphere. So a bit of a mixed review, will definitely go back. read more

Great experience! Fast service and great atmosphere. We enjoyed everytime we visited this restaurant.

Very poor service, food barely warm. Took way too long for food. Won't go back. After waiting for 40 minutes, and as the rest of my party was being served I was told they were out of what I ordered so frustrating. Very poor service indeed. read more

Love love coming here! The staff is great and the food is always delicious! I've never had an issue and everyone is always kind. Best place for a Sunday morning brunch read more

Let me start off with the fact that I'm only giving this place three stars because of how small the menu is. It has a few in each category from Eggs Benedict, Brunch, Omelettes, and more traditional type dishes such as Pancakes, Waffles, and French Toast. They do, however, have a very nice selection from their bakery from muffins to pastries. The customer service was exceptional with our waitress always having a smile and laughing at my grandfather's silly jokes. The food was also good, cooked to perfection and served beautifully on the dish. Highly recommend Mimi's Cafe for breakfasts and or brunches! read more

I LOVE JESSICA! She is such a hard worker and great server! I highly recommend her as your server! I love love love mimis!

Mimi's always has amazing food. The service is always great and the wait time is never crazy. One server in particular is amazing. Robby has been one of the best servers I've seen. He came to check up on us frequently, but not too much where it got annoying. He always made sure we had what we needed. We found out he was still in training for becoming a server and we couldn't believe it! He just seemed like such a naturally good server! I hope he's finished up with training now! Overall great staff and food!! read more

I've been coming here for years, and have always loved the food and service here. Our server Sarah was very kind and helpful throughout our visit. Come here for great food and outstanding service! read more

We were disappointed. Before the pandemic, we came here often and enjoyed the food and service. The server was pleasant, but things appear to have gone down hill. The menu prices have been increased, and additional charges have been added. I had the quiche, which I have had before, but they no longer serve it with a muffin. It was a bit skimpy for $14.99. My spouse had bacon and eggs. The server asked how he preferred the potatoes. He opted for country potatoes vs hash browns. He was charged $12.99 plus $1.99 for added peppers and onions plus $1.99 for mushrooms. He was not informed about the extra charges, so the standard bacon and egg breakfast cost $17.00. To make matters worse, we waited too long for our food, as we watched other diners ordering after us, being served first. Someone from the kitchen finally brought our food, but my quiche was overcooked with the crust edges "crunchy" and falling apart. We will not return anytime soon. We also visit the Palm Desert location, but will be reluctant to try it again. Hopefully things will improve when we get well past this epidemic. read more

Thank you Mimi's for excellent service as always! You were kind, punctual, and timely. My food came out within 15 minutes and I was offered fresh cracked pepper which just added to the ambiance of the place. Corey was managing and made sure to come around and check on our table. He was engaged and I could tell he actually cared about his guests. 10/10 will be coming back! read more

Mimis had always been a favorite of mine, the muffins are amazing, the food is delicious and service is always great. Iv been to a few different mimis locations but the folsom location had been best experience. They always go above and beyond it seems. We have also met the managers and they are always so friendly greeting people at the front just making you feel at home almost. This place is deffinenlty worth stopping by. Even just to get a 2 pack of muffins to go. read more

Really good selection to choose from on the menu at very reasonable prices for what you get. Nice sized portions. You definitely don't leave hungry! The staff was warm, friendly and very attentive to anything we might need or want. I'll definitely be coming back and will tell my friend about this place! read more

Great Food! Awesome service! Check this place out when you're in town! Have you tried the muffins?! C'est magifique!

Great food! Great service! Manager Corey was charming and professional. This is my new go to eatery. Highly recommend.

No complaints on service environment or anything. Just some of the worst food I've ever eaten in a restaurant flavor wise.

Worst Thanksgiving meal ever. I am so disappointed. I worked today and ordered take out. Was looking forward to a simple warm Turkey dinner. It was reconstituted Turkey. Thin tasteless slices. I threw it in the garbage. Inedible! read more

Great service! Had an amazing lunch. The tuna melt was the bomb. Great iced tea for someone who is giving up soda. Tried French onion soup for the first time and it was amazingly good. Our waitress met our every need and was very friendly. read more

We've all done it... "I should have read the Yelp reviews before coming here!!!" Well....add one more from me. :-( We used to go here a decade ago when we lived in Folsom so we decided to have dinner here even though we know much can change over that much time.....and it has, not for the better. We arrive before 6pm, figuring the place to be slow enough to get good service. Sure enough there are only a handful of tables being used....even still it takes a good couple of minutes of us standing in the lobby by ourselves before someone came out to seat us. I literally told my wife "this is not a good sign already". We place our order and the salad comes out quickly. Good...and bad because the house salad is spinach with all those disgusting stems and some other "greens"....My rabbit would have been overjoyed, i was not. Now is when it really starts to go downhill. We waited....at least 20 mins for our food to come out. Literally everyone else in the room that had come in after us had been served while we waited.....and waited. To get to the point: Flatbread should be cooked...it should have some form of a crust on the bottom. Something to show that it was actually in an oven at some temperature above "room". This came out as if someone had microwaved it.....as limp and soft and disgusting as anything I've ever seen anyone try to pass off. Flatbread like this requires a very hot oven and only a few minutes of cooking. Clearly, this did was not their method of preparation. Perhaps the funniest part was that, after the extremely long wait, the waitress said "be careful, it's hot!". I suppose she could have been being sarcastic....but i can't see why. Perhaps this is her way of covering for the long wait, hoping we wouldn't notice that it was a long pile of uncooked dough with melted cheese on the top. We immediately sent it back and were absolutely not ready to wait another 20 mins to see what they could come up with. Last point: If I get a hamburger and choose the side salad instead of fries, you shouldn't serve the burger on a plate completely by itself...as if I was serving it to my kids. It just looks terrible. Maybe a little garnish....a pickle....something so it doesn't look like a sad meal served in a soup kitchen. Well....I hope my lesson learned can be a harbinger for others looking here to see if they should try it. 200 reviews and 2.5 stars....should mean "Hey look! BJs is right across the street!" read more
