Had lunch today at this Mimi's location. It has been a few years since dining at a Mimi's Cafe. This experience was both good and bad. The good first: my food was really good. I had the Soup and sandwich combo (French onion cup of soup and Turkey Royale half sandwich). My wife had a Waffle and it was just "ok". Service was friendly too. However, the place looks like it has never been updated in many years. Dirty, stained carpet in the dining room, the bathroom doors show stains from hundreds of hands pushing them open, old very used tables and chairs. Maybe this is a "Cash Cow" just waiting to die off. My review would be more stars if only evaluating the French onion soup. read more

This place has nice decor and friendly service. In fact, the service is the only reason why it gets 3 stars. Overall disappointing - simply meh. My opinion on what we ordered: Corn chowder - really good Cesar salad - simply don't do it. no Cesar dressing - came with some kind of vinaigrette Half roast chicken - good Chicken Parmesan - ok read more

Wow! It's been a few years... there are so many dine out options and with this location being pi of my city, it tend's not to be on our radar. Today is my birthday and if all the places I could've gone, I chose here. We were seated right away and Christine, our server, came over after attending to 2 other tables. I appreciate the recommendations of "what's good" when asked and selected the CHICKEN & QUINOA MEDITERRANEAN Salad without olives. (Pulled roasted chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, onions, olives, teta cheese and quinoa blend on romaine lettuce tossed in red wine shallot vinaigrette.) I never noticed the "cafe decor" at the top. Cute. The restroom is clean and kept well. Thank you Christine for the good service and putting care into my birthday Mixed Berry Muffin Sundae. This was a good choice for a relaxing lunch! I started out with 4 stars because the interior is "old" and could use a remodel. However, the food, service and Christine earned 5 stars. read more

I usually take pictures of my meal but this one was not worth sharing. I come for brunch but this time I came for lunch. Had the liver & onions, broccoli with mashed potatoes. DO NOT order! Liver was the ONLY meal that was lukewarm the rest was COLD. As if they got the veggies and mashed potatoes out of the fridge and slapped on the plate. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I will start my apologizing for not having pictures. Met my parents for lunch. Went at noon and were seated right away. The 2 hostesses were very friendly but it was all downhill from there. Meal #1 was a bowl of corn chowder and a cookie butter muffin. My mom seemed to like it because she scarfed it down with no complaints. Meal #2 was a French dip with a cup of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was fair but the soup was very salty and had an odd texture. Meal #3 was the Turkey club with Parmesan sourdough substituted for regular bread. The best thing for this meal was the French fries and the bread. The rest of the sandwich had no flavor. And lastly meal #4 which was a tuna melt with cup of soup. I got the same tomato soup and it was horrible like my dad's. When they passed the plate in front of me I should've known better. The tuna looked and smelled odd but I'm pretty brave so I gave it a shot. Big mistake! Weirdest freaking tuna I've ever had. I will describe it like dry tuna(or cat food) straight out of an old can that's been in the back of the pantry for years. I ended up scraping most of it off and eating the bread. I don't usually like to send items back although I really should have. The French fries were good. My husband had to get up to find our waitress for drink refills. For the fairly easy items we chose it took a while to get our food. Not sure we'll ever go back unless it's possibly for breakfast or to run in for a muffin. It was not good. read more

Great service to begin with! What a cute setting, it was nice and quiet inside. We stopped in for a bite to eat over lunch, which was unplanned. The food was delicious and we decided to split the three course pot roast meal and had Caesar salad, along with bread pudding for dessert . Food was served quickly and was nice and hot and delicious. So was the bread pudding. Our server was pleasant and gave some really good suggestions for dessert. Quick,, hot, and delicious with friendly service to sum everything up . We will definitely be back! read more

This place has really improved! The service was good, the food was amazing and the place is lighter than it used to be. The tables and chairs are a little worn and could be improved on, but other than that, my husband and I had a good time! The tomato basil soup left me for wanting more--it was so good! read more

Dined: 11.3.24: Enjoyed a nice relaxing Sat brunch. Discussed some serious topics and enjoyed our lovely brunch. Server was attentive even as we stayed for a while. We all had the Santa Fe Omelet and all 4 of us enjoyed theirs. The place is super cute like a French bistro. The extensive menu had pictures which I love. Lol. The expresso martini was yummy! See you SOON!! read more

We went to Mimi's café for Thanksgiving 2025. I want to say it was my first time going here and the service was great. Our reservation being a holiday wasn't bad. We reserved an open table a month prior the food was absolutely spot on AMAZING !! They gave us so much food we took food home. I will go back. I will recommend them. The staff was awesome. 10/10 read more

Love Mimi's food and everyone is always nice, but yesterday we had the best waitress. Myra was fast, efficient, and attentive. We never had to ask for a drink refill or condiment. Even still, she took the time to joke with us. She made our brunch so special. Thank you, Myra. As we said when we were leaving, we'll always look to see if you're working and ask to be seated in your area. read more

The only thing I would ever order there is maybe a muffin. The food was awful. It took 25 minutes to cook an omelette. The server was very good. Maybe she could have cooked the food. It needs a good cleaning too. Very disappointed, Mimi's used to be an excellent breakfast restaurant. read more

Top notch ambiance and service. I love the cute French cafe vibes. The brick walls, the pictures on the wall are so very esthetically appealing. Our server was very friendly and helpful, very quick to respond and offered us with whatever we needed, had a great smile as well. The food was okay. The complimentary bread was very nice, and the price is pretty good for the portion. I ordered a blue crab and shrimp pasta, and it was really soupy. I wish it had more creamy consistency rather than watery. My fiancé ordered the 3 course meal and that was more than enough for him as well. When we do come here next, I'd just try something else and see :) read more

Love the staff and food is amazing would definitely recommend and bring the family got to try the muffins

My husband and I love going to Mimi's for the delicious food and exceptional customer service. Our waitress named Pamela is always so welcoming. As soon as she sees us, her face lights up and she says a genuine hello. We dont have to order because she already knows what we like. She always asks about my mother and family because we'll she has now become part of our family too. Thank you so much Pamela for making our Saturday breakfasts at Mimi's memorable and something to look forward too. Elsie Lee read more

Great atmosphere and large menu with their own twist on how food is made. Sometimes its nice to experience a different style and taste. Its always busy but a nice place to bring a friend. read more

Food was average. I ordered the salmon dish and it was honestly nothing too memorable. The salmon was cooked fine but I would've preffered a little bit more food for what I paid for and wish there was more flavor to the rice. The only thing that I felt had flavor were the vegetables, but I would've expected more for the main thing which was the salmon. Service was really nice though and my party was able to be seated quick enough. Ambiance is also cool too, high ceilings and probably better for families or bigger groups to catch up. Disappointed by the food though. read more

I ordered a steak and egg breakfast via Uber Eats. Extra large portion. I saved half of the sandwich for the next day.

As I stated in my April, 2025 review, the waitress suggested that I bring my own gluten-free bread and they would toast it. Yesterday I went to Mimi's with 1 slice of gluten-free white bread and asked them to toast it. The waitress said it was not allowed and had the manager come to my table and said it was against the Health Dept. for me to bring my own bread and have them toast it. The manager was not very nice even tho' my breakfast mate said I couldn't eat their bread. Did they lie or are they totally say things to sound like they cared in April. I am hunting for a gluten-free breakfast place with empathy and customer service. read more

The service was excellent. The meal was delicious and I appreciated the generous portion. Great value for the price. read more

Love Mimi's Cafe so much! Their breakfast never disappoints and their iced coffees are amazing!

Ohhh this was not a pleasure experience after long break, old restaurant, needs remodeling, outdated furniture, food is not good, over salted soup, over sugared tiramisu, service is nice, well.. there are so many restaurants to choose from.. bye bye Mimi's read more

We made reservations for the first time on Thanksgiving. Mimi's started taking reservations quite awhile back and we made ours around 6 to 8 weeks ago. Not sure what to expect we arrived today about 15 mins early. They took our name and had us seated in less than 5 mins. Debbie was our server and she is amazing. So attentive,kind, quick. She was so welcoming and found out later working a 12 hour shift like all employees today at Mimi's, Wow! The food was exceptional which we always expect at and today was no different. So delicious and obviously homemade. Perfect. We have always loved how it feels at Mimi's. The decor is like a small French bistro and it's always so cute and clean and fun. We would forgo Thanksgiving and the meal if it wasn't for Mom and how much she enjoys it. So it was very pleasant to go somewhere that we felt well cared for and attended too. Of course we didn't eat turkey with our meal but Mom did and loved it and had plenty for leftovers. The meal included dessert but forgot to take a pic prior to eating i. Thank you Mimi's and Debbie for making our day perfect and care free. read more

I honestly feel like a fool. If I can reach I would kick myself in the butt. We just had lunch at Mimi's, 2 ice teas, 2 onion soups and 2 salads. $69, with tip $83. FOR SOUP AND SALAD . The soup was good the Cobb salad was sad. The ice tea was good. The bread was tasteless. It sadness me to give such a bad review, that's not my nature read more

I was very disappointed in the environment. It looked run down and nothing like the Mimis I remember from years ago. It used to be a special place to take Mom or Grandma for lunch. I used to enjoy nice lunches with my girlfriends. now its just another restaurant. Too bad!! read more

I've been going to this location regularly for a while now. The food/drinks are always great! The service is fast and Pamela is always so attentive. Great place to have a nice brunch! read more

Food just mediocre. Service terrible. Air conditioning poor. Decor old and depressing.

Very nice restaurant, with a rustic french theme. The pesto omelet was tasty, and a warm croissant accompanied with it perfectly. Coffee is of flaforful, dark roast, fitting the theme. Very friendly service. read more

I went here for brunch on 12/27/2024 at about 10:15 AM. Food was good, service was good. Problem: As my wife & I were getting up to leave, I cockroach walked right onto and sat right in the middle of the table. As I was in a hurry to leave I did not have time to speak to the manager. I alerted the waitress and the busser, then left. I have been trying to call to speak to a manager. I have called every 20 min for past 2 hours, no one is answering the phone. I am calling as I am writing this post, no answer. So I am writing a review in the hopes that someone will pay attention. I love Mimi's muffins but unfortunately that will be the last time I get them. read more

Was very disappointed in the dining room to the right of front door. The carpeting is very old and extremely worn and dirty and not acceptable for an eating establishment. Mimi's used to be a nice place to eat. Such a shame. Food was okay but close to $50 for breakfast is ridiculous. Server was friendly. Would give her 3 stars. read more

So looking for a breakfast place this morning and we decided to give Mimi's Cafe a shot since the wait was only 10-15 minutes. We were seated and provided menus, but it took another 15 minutes for the waitress to make it over to take our order. And another 29 minutes for the food to arrive after that. I do not blame the server, I'm guessing she was overloaded and that they were short handed. The meals were "ok" and on par with what I would expect from IHOP. So overall not a great experience for the amount of time waiting. read more

Stopped into Mimi's at Arrowhead for a late lunch today. For a Saturday afternoon, the place was shockingly empty. Nonetheless, service was unexpectedly slow. Whilst awaiting our meal my husband happened to glance up at the ceiling fan overhead. The dust called on the leading edge of the blades was dark and thick. A Quick look at the other fans and chandeliers proved the same unkempt conditions. I'm sure finding someone to do this kind of work and do it well isn't easy. That's when management has to step up to the plate and do it his or her self. Pick up a duster manager ... and get busy. read more

If you like Quiche Lorraine for breakfast, then Mimi's Cafe is the place for you, where the food and flavors are always consistent and the prices are reasonable. Service wait time seems to be the only variable, but it always comes with a welcoming smile. In my recent visit, I ordered the egg white a vegie omelet with fruit instead of potatoes. I've yet to try their lunch and dinner menu items, but they offer a full assortment of entree selections certain to please most palettes. I will say this: their muffins are "the bomb"! read more

Poor management organization for Mother's Day 2025! We had made reservations for 11:45 and waited for over an hour then finally snagged a seat at the bar which was open seating. It was standing room only in the front. All of the hostesses were teenagers and didn't know how to handle the crowd. They had double booked they said. Yet still we were allowing Door Dash food to go out when patrons were standing to get in with reservations. It was an insane discombobulated disaster. Where was the manager?!?!?' read more

Never again choosing this place for Mother's Day and to-go mind you because last year I tried to eat-in with a reservation and that was a disaster. The food is just OK. The service is a zero. Kelly, Christina and the general manager Jesse are rude. With their attitude, they set the ambience to be ghetto. When picking up my order, I saw them being rude to people in person and also rude to people over the phone. One of them slammed the phone down. They make you feel like you are intruding, ruining their day and how dare we choose this place as it's so busy. It's Mother's Day how many Mother's Day do you think there is in the world? There needs to be training and all the way up to the general manager. Would not recommend read more

Went to Mimi's today. The entire experience was terrible. The restaurant is run down, the service was not very good and all of dishes we ordered were marginal at best. read more

We reserved our party of 11 for 2:30. We did not get our water We asked for for at least 30 to 45 minutes. Our food did not come until around 4:15, almost two hours sitting at a table is unacceptable. It was not busy but the service was extremely slow. They put an 18% gratuity that was not earned or deserved. I paid 374.00 and won't be back anytime soon. The server seemed lost half the time and was completely missing g in action 90% of the time. Horrible. If I could give negative stars, I would read more

For $18 you get 3 small deli thin slices. Also I ordered a carrot raisin loaf and they gave me a muffin. To go order. read more
