    Florentine Benedict
    Diane C.

    Miguel our waiter was prompt in got our order in a hurry. I was so surprised my friend had eggs vegetable eggs Benedict. And I had classic eggs Benedict with potatoes that were so good. Everything was delicious and of course, our waiter make sure everything was perfect He kept on returning to fill our coffee cups I sure will be going back soon

    Beautiful interior
    Lai Z.

    We were there for early breakfast and found Mimi's Cafe beautiful setting. Settled in Kietzke Lane, the place itself is beautiful and i find their interior that of an impeccable taste. Maria was this calm lady that took our order. She was graceful and soft spoken, the kind you'd want as a host of your little party. She checked on us a lot just how a good hostess could be. Our food came about 15 minutes later and it was just as comforting we thought it would. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Pancakes. It was a normal pancake but soft and beautifully presented. I also had medium eggs and ham on the side. I truly enjoyed the experience. My husband had French toast. We had an enjoyable time on our usual slow Sunday morning. And i can't end this without mentioning Maria sending us a little token of appreciation. She gave us free muffins on our way out. I have been to different places as first visit but we never had a token except from this place. Much appreciation. We will visit you guys again soon!

    Get a Grand and split it.

    They have a really good menu with a three course dinner meal. The breakfast include an option for a toast or a muffin. Pick the muffin and ask for the seasonal muffin. At the time that I was there, the muffin was Dubai chocolate and it was delicious. Breakfast are so large that you should probably split them. Skip the eggs and go for the eggs only and get the super monstrous pancakes or waffles platter with the eggs, side, order of meat and hashbrowns. Only, for this amount of food, you split it with your café partner.

    Dubai pancakes and a Dubai muffin
    Jesus M.

    Came in here wanting to try out their seasonal Dubai desserts. They were so good and the portion of the pancakes was a lot that we had to split it up into thirds. The muffin was also very good too. Service was nice, we got greeted and sat down right away. Highly recommend these 2. Items since they're only a seasonal thing.

    This little Reno diner was exactly what I needed after an early start. I popped in for lunch, drawn by the promise of all-day breakfast and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The coffee was excellent--strong, hot, and definitely hit the spot. The team here couldn't have been friendlier, creating a genuinely warm atmosphere. They even sent me off with a free pumpkin muffin when they heard I was heading to the airport. Reasonable prices, solid diner fare, and that kind of kindness make this place a quality spot to drop into anytime you're in town.

    Huevos rancheros
    Bill S.

    When I go to a new restaurant for breakfast I usually order huevos rancheros. Although the picture it doesn't do it justice, this was the best huevos rancheros that I have ever had. The corn tortilla was crispy, the avocados which you can't see in the photo were plentiful, the eggs were perfect. At 10:00 on a Thursday morning the service was outstanding the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. I can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I went for brunch one day. It was delicious and service was great. It was very chill and clean inside.

    Creme Brulee

    I forgot to leave a tip after ordering some deserts for my family, but they deserved one AND a review. They have great presentation and customer service. I came to pick up when they were training how to finish my yummy delicious crème brûlée and it was a joy to watch, followed by great conversation. I hope everyone is doing as amazing as their deserts! Next time i'll be remembering my tip

    Same visit, but forgot an important point. They no longer have a Happy Hour. Found out when I asked for the happy hour menu so I could take a picture. Otherwise I enjoyed the NOLA themed ambience. Bon Appetite!

    Chicken wings, grilled shrimp and broccoli

    First time at Mimi's after a poor experience at another local breakfast place in Reno that I've been frequenting for the past 4 years. ( I won't mention the place...I have been loyal to them for years) I brought a $100.00 bill to pay for my meal and give a tip...I always tip great...I wanted to show the staff that I appreciate them, there must have been a change there and it wasn't good. ......so......I Thought I'd try Mimi's Cafe.....Boy! am I glad I did!! I have a new favorite! I was seated quickly, the waiter was super friendly and attended to my dietary restrictions. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere with upbeat music. Not gonna lie...I'm glad the other place drooped the service and quality ball....I found a calm and peaceful place to have a comforting meal with staff that genuinely care! This is my new go-to breakfast/lunch spot!! The waiter checked on me frequently, he to provided a perfect experience! The wings and shrimp were cooked to perfection and to my dietary needs. Sometimes a bad experience turns into an opportunity to do something different. I am so happy that I chose Mimi's!!!

    Mimi's cafe, although a chain is a great option for some good food. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Our server was Byron who was very attentive, professional and just altogether on top of the service he provided. Our food was good, prepared fresh and warm within a reasonable time. It is a little pricey but considering the quality of customer service that was provided it's fine. Will be back.

    Tomato Basil Bowl, Tempura Cauliflower Appetizer
    Lana O.

    I suggested Mimi's specifically for the FOS (French Onion Soup ) and was pleasantly surprised with the crunchy of the tempura. 5p on Saturday afternoon, and it was quiet enough to hear each other within our booth. Our server was a little but much and over-the-top; he tried super hard to be helpful and make small talk with us and just didn't seem natural.

    Shared an eggs Benedict
    Angela F.

    Great spot for breakfast. We stopped on the spur of the moment and wanted eggs benedict. However, as you get older, an order of eggs benedict is a lot of food. They were glad to split the order without an extra charge. Mimi's has a choice of breakfast to dinner options. I would not call it gourmet, but the food is pretty good. I've had their burgers and sandwich at other times .. no complaints. Their desserts look yummy, but we passed. The service is fast and friendly. And the prices are reasonable.

I liked the avocado spread as opposed to slices so much easier to eat. I would have liked the toast a little more toasted but the bread, avocado, egg and some cholula and it was tasty. I had a bite of hubbys sandwich. His sourdough bread was delicious, so was the ham and the cheese was the perfect melt. Nice place, we were in a side room with only about 5 or 6 tables.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience here from begin to end. The staff was kind and attentive, we had a waitress who sat us down and got us coffee and water, and after that it was uphill from there. We had three other servers stop to ask if we needed anything or wanted to give our order, and once we made up our mind the waiter who helped us did a fantastic job. No pen or notepad, he remembered our order with full detail and not one mess up. As we finished out appetizer, sides, and meal he continued to come by and take our plates, refill our water and my coffee. He was on point. By the end of the meal I paid the bill and gave him a cash tip and thanked him. He seemed happy and thanked us for stopping in and conversing with him. Highly recommend this place to anyone, oh, and the food was on point! Sweet, savory, delicious, and it made me wish there was a place like this back home!

The hostess and the wait staff were amazingly polite and friendly. At 7:30 pm on a Tuesday it was near empty and quiet. The steak sandwich was excellently done, perfectly to the request of medium. The onion rings were crisp and juicy. The potato and cheese soup was thick, creamy and just really brought the feeling of fall is coming with its flavors and warmth.

It's not trying to be trendy, more of a local hangout with a lot of character and a steady crowd of regulars. If you go on a weekend, expect a wait because it gets packed. Service was excellent. Even with the place being full, everything ran smoothly and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. It felt like they actually care about making sure you're taken care of, not rushing you in and out. Definitely a strong point of the experience. For food, we had the chicken fried steak and the French toast. The chicken fried steak was exactly what you want from a place like this, large portion, hearty, and satisfying. The French toast was a nice balance to that, a little lighter but still rich and comforting. Overall, it's solid, no nonsense comfort food that hits the spot. This is the kind of place you go when you want a real meal and a laid back atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Great value and service!

    Been waiting a long time to try this place. It did not disappoint. Yes these are ~$20 burgers but…read moreyou get what you pay for. Top quality meat and different meat & cheese choices. (Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them.

The fried chicken was easily a 10/10! Perfectly seasoned, crispy skin, and juicy, tender meat. The fried catfish was also amazing. Not overly oily, perfectly cooked, and honestly one of the best things we had. The baked beans were incredible too. So much flavor and nice and saucy. The ribs were a close second. Great flavor and they literally fell off the bone. A few sides missed the mark for me personally. The cornbread was super dry and looked and tasted almost like it had been dipped in the fryer. The rice and gravy was really under-seasoned and didn't have much flavor. And unfortunately, the mac and cheese was pretty underwhelming. It was very watery and lacked any flavor. But the lemon cake?! Moist, delicious, and the serving was HUGE. Definitely save room for dessert! Despite a few misses with the sides, I'd 100% come back for the fried chicken, catfish, ribs, baked beans, and that lemon cake.

You can wait to be seated or order takeout from the counter. The servers and staff were extremely friendly and treated you like a good friend they have known for years. Of course we started our meal with sweet teas. The tea was perfect and transported you directly to the south with every sip. As an appetizer we had the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were lightly battered, seasoned beautifully, and fried to perfection. The sauce that was served with them complemented them perfectly. For our mains, I had the shrimp basket with red beans and rice and my husband had the catfish plate with Mac-n-cheese and collard greens. I also ordered a side piece of fried catfish and a basket of fried okra. The catfish and the shrimp were both coated in the same light batter as the tomatoes. Like the fried green tomatoes, both the catfish on the platter and the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked beautifully. The tartar sauce was rich and rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness. The Mac-n-cheese was well seasoned and delicious, however the cheese sauce was thicker than what we prefer. The collard greens were perfection! My husband absolutely loves collard greens and is extremely picky on them yet he could not get enough of these! The red beans and rice were delicious. I would say that the balance and ratio was a bit off as the rice disappeared due to the amount of "sauce" from the dish making the bowl more of a soup. M&M seems like they can get pretty busy and can get backed up quickly both out front and in the kitchen. The servers were told at one point to wait to put in orders for a bit (it was about 20 min before they were told they could resume) and my piece of fish and my okra came out after we finished our meal (it was almost like the kitchen forgot about it-even though we asked about it 2 times). The okra was crispy and very lightly battered. We will definitely be returning, but will be making sure to give ourselves more time as this meal took us 2 hours from seating to getting the check.
