Came here for dinner on a weekday. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, gracious, and homey atmosphere! The place has a coat rack outside of the Women's restroom. The place was a little busy the whole time we were there, so I highly recommend making a reservation. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. I had Zucchini Linguine, which was tasty, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Plus, complimentary bread and butter is gluten free, dairy free and soy free as well. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Roslyn Heights, Long Island. read more

Just ok we had not been to Mim's in a long time used to go much more often. Must be new ownership the atmosphere is just not the same. They used to serve a very good humus with a fresh soft bread now we received hard burnt bread and hard butter. The waiter had no reaction when we pointed it out to him. Other than that service was fine and our meatloaf was good. Some items from the old menu that we enjoyed like the Cuban sandwich were not longer available. Would not refuse to go back but will definitely move down on the list of favorites. read more

Been going to Mims for years. I was not aware it was sold. Tonight with our friends we arrived for our 7:00 reservation. Seated right away. Place was almost completely empty. Even for summer in July considering people are away it was very weird for a Friday night. Waiter was delightful and food was good except for my husbands Cobb salad it was very meh. Unfortunately they changed the menu and what I previously loved was gone. They also added kitchy titles to each dish- was really ridiculous. I hope people will not stop coming to Mims. I previously liked the food and service but going to an empty restaurant is a an unpleasant strange atmosphere. Also bring back the old menu. read more

Place is rundown, service is slow and food and drinks were terrible. Not usually someone who writes a review but this place was so disappointing I was left no choice. Tuna was inedible, steak was tiny and overpriced and my old fashioned was nit an old fashioned. Even the valet crawled out of his car dressed in rags and handed me my key to get the car myself. If my calculations are correct this place has 3 months to live before its shutdown. Should have took a hint when I walked in and the place was empty read more

This one is a keeper, whenever I'm visiting. Amazing gluten free and vegan options! Great ambiance. read more

This review is more like 3 and 1/2 stars and not three. This was our first time coming here. Reading the reviews, I thought I was going to be highly impressed. After dining here I was left underwhelmed, unfortunately. Came here early for our reservation on a Saturday evening. We had to wait a bit to be seated, but that was expected. It was super busy! The restaurant is very sleek and gives fancy vibes, but it isn't fancy. They had cocktail specials for the day. I ordered one of the ones that had gin in it. The waitress came back and said they couldn't make that cocktail because they were out of that gin. Why they couldn't make it with another gin is beyond me because it wasn't a special gin, but I digress. I instead got the $17 Strawberry Gin Smash which had ZERO strawberry in it. So weird and confusing. For my entree I had the Angel Hair and Chicken. It was just meh. Nothing to write home about. Dessert was a bit better. Had the Banana Betty Parfait. It was good, but nothing that wowed me. That was the whole concensus of the night. Just okay. Nothing spectacular. At the beginning of our meal, I asked for a separate check and she obliged. She brought out 1 check at the end. Annoying. Probably won't be coming out of my way to come back here. read more

Service was slow . Took 50 minutes to get appetizer. Food was ok but cold. Do not valet park your car. We came out of the restaurant and the valet attendant sat in a car and looked at us with a blank stare. We asked for our car and he opened the key storage and basically pointed to all the keys and said which is yours. We took key and he did not even get the car for us. He proceeded to do the same you about 5 other people. Anyone could have taken any car. I called immediately and the person who answered the phone tried to make all kinds of excuses for the valet attendant. Was a shocker to us! Not good customer service! read more

We had dined here about a month ago as we were in the Port Washington area and decided to come here on a whim for dinner. Walking in, it does appear to be what the place was described, which is a cozy restauarant with a pub like feel. Lots of ample seating both by the bar area and larger tables in the back. I ordered the steak sandwich cooked to medium rare along with sweet potatoes. I do like the presentation and it being on a ciabatta bread but wish the steak were sliced thinner...very minor complaint really. My son got the meatloaf which came with broccoli and roasted potatoes. He felt the roasted potatoes were a bit one note and found the overall entree to be just okay. My wife got the cedar plan roasted salmon with brussel sprouts. Her one major complaint was that the brussel sprouts came out so charred and really mushy as it if was over cooked. All in all, we had high expectation but the food overall felt like 3 stars. However, our waitress that evening was amazing and often checked on this. read more

Nice restaurant. Prices a little high I think for lunch , but food was good, service was excellent. Soda was $4.75 and no refills. Cappuccino was $6.50 for a very small cup . They put a small bread basket on the table with butter and humus. They have nice divided areas for smaller groups , and separate area for private parties as well. read more

I eat at Mims every Thursday night with my canasta group. The waiter we had last night named Mateo was the most fabulous waiter ever. He was very attentive to our needs, all the delicious food came out HOT and I highly recommend going to Mims and asking for Mateo to be your waiter read more

This use to be a great restaurant with great value. They completely changed the menu and prices are much much higher. Definitely not worth the price point. I will not return because of the new prices, I can eat at much better places... read more

The pasta was good but it was a bit more on the dry side for me, if it had a bit more sauce it would've been perfect. I got it with chicken but it tasted like frozen chicken just cooked. The texture wasn't the best. And the mashed potatoes were a bit bland for me, probably wouldn't order that again. It was busy on Easter, pretty packed so it made the service kind of mid. Our server gave us our check and probably took another 30 mins to check up on us again to take the payment. But overall, the ambiance was nice. read more

Mim's Restaurant - Rigatoni Ala Vodka with Side-Mashed Potatoes - American Near Me - Roslyn Heights, New York

Used to be one of my favorites. Never disappointed. New owners, unfortunately, are subpar. Service was disjointed and slow. When sat our "freshly" set table's glasses were dirty - one had lipstick marks, another food stuck to the rim. I ordered the Bleu Flame which is pasta, skirt steak, spinach and mushrooms. Was brought out what I can only describe as an attempt at a wedge salad. Now I had to wait another 15m for my ordered dish to come out while rest of my party's food was served - all of which was "meh", at best. When what I actually ordered came out, the slab of "meat" they tried to pass off as skirt steak was inedible. It was some disgustingly fatty cut of meat, about 75% grizzle. Needless to say, sent it back and went and got a slice of pizza. Rest of party each ate less than to half of their meals. STAYBAWAY. also not worth prices they've jacked the menu u. read more

Hi Brian, I appreciate you responding, but I need to be clear--this isn't based on one visit. I grew up in Roslyn and have been coming to that location long before Mim's, and continued when you took it over. I've been a loyal customer for years, which is why this feedback comes from repeated, recent experiences--not a single off night. The decline has been consistent. The atmosphere has changed significantly, the bar has been empty on multiple visits, and the level of service and overall energy are nowhere near what they once were. As for the food, I did bring it to the bartender's attention and even gave him a piece of the steak to try. He acknowledged it and mentioned putting it back on the grill, but at that point it would have overcooked. The steak had also been pre-sliced before it came out, which likely contributed to it being cold. The potatoes were cold as well. What's most disappointing, though, is your response. Dismissing this as a one-off and saying you'll focus on the guests who are there today comes across as if losing longtime customers isn't a concern. That's a mistake. It's not just me--you haven't just lost one customer, you've lost me and several of my friends who used to come in regularly. I'm not interested in going back and forth. I'm telling you directly, as someone who supported this place for years, that the experience has changed for the worse--and responses like this only reinforce that. I do hope you take that seriously. Best, Robin read more

So just had dinner at Mims, worst experience I have ever had. The food was terrible, ordered calamari and it was very oily and soggy, for mains we ordered a medium skirt steak that was grossly over cooked along with the roasted potatoes that were even more over cooked then the steak, also ordered the Brie flatbread which looked like a piece of pita microwaved with some Brie cheese and cranberries. Tasted as bad as it looked. For drinks I got a watered down Manhattan and I will bet actual money that the $18 glass of wine which they said was Bonanza Cabernet, would not pass the test for being the actual product. When the flatbread was sent back the " manager" didn't seem to care in the least and just sat at the bar watching the baseball game. Needless to say to I will never go back to this restaurant and advise everyone else to stay away. read more

Our server, Matteo, was an incredibly hard worker and we really liked him. The problem was that he was completely overwhelmed by seemingly having to run the entire front end by himself, despite there apparently being other servers on shift. He was bartending and waiting on at least 3 or 4 VERY large parties that all came in around the same time, but he was also having to take all of the other tables. When we asked the manager what was up he was dismissive. Food was ok, but unfortunately this place doesn't seem to have any kind of system down read more

Second year coming here for Passover special dinner and again we were highly impressed! Not only was the food phenomenal, but great portion sizes and great price for a Passover-style meal. Seder plate included upon request, haggadah included upon request. Basket of matzo instead of bread for the table. Our server Angelo was so nice, helpful, patient and attentive. 3 people so we each ordered different items. First course - matzo ball soup (the broth was SO GOOD!), potato pancakes, chicken liver pate. Main course - lamb shank, salmon, brisket. The proteins were perfect (I sampled each!) and the sides that came with them were all good as well. We were full for dessert so only had a taste of the sorbet and the coconut flan, took the chocolate mousse home. There is also a matzo smores option as dessert for 2 ppl to share. We each ordered cappuccinos. Note that Passover reservations fill up quick so we had to take an early reservation. Next year we'll try reserving further in advance! read more

I had a horrible dining experience Saturday twice we sent back food and twice it was way undercooked it was nowhere near well done the hamburger. and the meatloaf tasted better back in the service. The only saving grace is that the people that worked there are very charming and pleasant. The menu has changed drastically with some very odd phrases and the food was very subpar. I've always given this place. Excellent reviews this time very disappointed. I know places have an off night, but this is way off. Everybody deserves a second chance.. read more

Wow. Mim's seriously delivers. Great food, service and ambiance. Don't hesitate, just come.

Had a nice dinner at Mim's. It is a very large restaurant with multiple sections and a very nice vibe. Even though very busy the staff was very friendly and helpful. The appetizers were very good, including the tuna tar tar and shrimp dumplings. The main courses were ok, but not the best and is the thing that would possibly hold me back from going again. Chicken parm was ok, not a lot of flavor. And the pot pie, that I was looking forward to, was just ok. It was huge, but the filling was a bit thin and lacked a strong flavor. read more

Party of 2, waited 45 minutes and both orders came out wrong. Waited another half hour for the correct order, which was mediocre. Heard under new management for 6-9 months now. Used to be great and now terrible, can't last long like this on old reputation. read more

Stopped by Mim's for some food and drinks. Espresso martinis were on point! Food was solid, especially crispy chili shrimp.

Decent drinks and music, nice enough bartender with good service, fairly basic restaurant and ambiance, but idk about that pretzel. It's unique, for sure, but just not for me. I like a nice soft doughy pretzel, and this was fairly hard and tasted like simple bread. I was looking forward to that . Chicken wings were pretty dry as well. read more

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Mim's the night before our wedding a couple of weeks ago. The side dining room that they have was perfect for our group of about 35 but could hold even more. Jimmy was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with, both in the planning of the event as well as overseeing everything the night of. The service was excellent, the food and drinks were outstanding, and all of our guests had an amazing time. read more

Ok I do not know what happened to the Mims I went to last year. IT went from 5 stars to 2. They deleted the signature pretzel with brie cheese and fig jam. Drinks are way too overpriced $17 for a drink is crazy. The food is nothing to rave about in fact I had a stomach ache after I left. I will not be going back I'm sorry memes I Loved you at one point but now you're on the naughty list read more

We made a reservation Friday night. 3 couples and a quiet meal together. When we arrived we were told there was a 20% charge for parties over 5. And This was not a gratuity it was a charge for a party over 5. No reason why. They waves the fee because we were not informed when we made the reservation. But that is just ridiculous. It's like a Trump tariff. read more

Great grub and friendly service. Right off the highway with valet parking. Appetizers are light and "snacky."

Visited this restaurant for dinner with the family. They have a really good prix fix menu for dinner on weekdays. $40 for three course meal and a glass of wine. We throughly enjoyed every dish we received. My only knock was that the service was quite slow. The restaurant was empty on a Wednesday so I assumed, we'd get faster service. A few times, I noticed us looking for the waiter because we were either done with our meal and wanted dessert or we were ready for the bill. Just seemed a bit too long for such a slow night. Other than that, it was a great restaurant. read more

went here 7pm new years eve. Party of 3 . Discovered the menu had changed since we were last here with nothing we really wanted. We waited 20 mins for a waiter to take our order. Drinks never came but food did . My daughter got the steak, which she said tasted like a burger and we took home for the dog. I ordered a burger. $28 for a burger leads me to think this restaurant is a dead man walking. I wonder what it will reopen as. Maybe a sushi place or fancy mexican will be good. read more

Service is dead slow, seated for half an hour and our waiter was nowhere to be found, even after making numerous requests that we were ready to order. If you have kids and wanting to try this place out, on a holiday or weekend, don't. read more

Update. If you order before 6:00 PM some days during the week, you can get their early bird special, a three-course meal for just under $40. So I started with meatballs, had the double-thick pork chop (with Brussel sprouts and white beans), and ended with the apple crumb pie (topped with ice cream and whipped cream). It was a huge meal, all delicious. I didn't expect much from the Brussel sprouts and beans, but the chef made it work with a nice au jus sauce ... and the pork was soft and tasty despite being thick and cooked well done. They also put out some fresh bread and humus dip for the table. read more

I am not one to write Yelp reviews but felt like I had to here. My friend and I used to come here for the great food, reasonable prices and a good time. Now they changed the menu with different names and the price of the wine is astronomical. I am sorry but a glass of red wine at $19 is absurd. This is not Manhattan, it is Long island. The food is good but not worth the prices and service felt like we were being rushed. I expect more for the prices. read more

For those times when you're looking for yummy comfort food rather than a highfalutin culinary challenge, head over to Mim's Restaurant. Mim's had been on my list for years, so after "Covid Interruptus" I was in the area and finally stopped by for lunch. Glad I did! Cocktails were very good although I would have liked some fresh fruit in my sangria. Marinated skirt steak was tender and flavorful, a generous helping. My chicken pot pie was fantastic, a warm creamy mix of chicken and veggies nestled in a flaky homemade crust draped over the edge of the bowl. I barely finished it, but still soldiered on with a slice of oreo mousse pie for dessert. It wasn't creamy as I had expected from mousse, but the pie's dense chocolatey goodness and fresh whipped cream topping was well worth the calorie splurge. Service was prompt and friendly. Mim's does get crowded so reservations are recommended. They offer discounted specials on certain days (BBQ chicken/ribs on Tuesdays, Steak on Thursdays) so check out their website/FB to see what's on offer. They have valet parking (sigh) - the norm in these busy parts nowadays. read more

Unfortunately this place FELL OFF. It is under new management in 2026 and the vibe and quality of food are not the same. The old manager brought a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Now the lights are bright, the food is bad and the management is cold. My family and friends have been going for years and we told everyone not to waste their time on overpriced mediocre food and atmosphere. It's sad it used to be a great pub and fun delicious place. read more

More like 4.5 stars. We had a wonderful birthday dinner here on a Friday night. Was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food came out. The decor was nice but nothing too fancy. I did notice that it's fairly large with each section having it's own vibe. It was also kind of dark where we were sitting (in the back). We started with these appetizers and they were great for the group: crispy chili pop shrimp, the sweet Italian pizza and the kung pao cauliflower. All the entrees were well received: chopped cobb salad (was standard), grilled steak sandwich (very large and generous with the steak), grilled skirt steak (nice size), BBQ baby back ribs, rigatoni & blackened skirt steak (delicious), and lemon sole oreganata (surprisingly a good size portion with the pasta). The service could have been better to be honest and our table was wobbly, which was annoying. read more

Cozy neighborhood restaurant, valet available. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Pretty busy for a Tuesday night, made a last minute reservation on open table and was seated right away. For appetizers we tried the French onion soup, chili shrimp (similar to bang bang shrimp), & Buffalo spring rolls. All were delicious, perfect portion size. Entrees- I had the short rib ravioli special which is topped with skirt steak, large portion, very good! Served with a creamy sauce & mushrooms. My friend had the rigatoni with skirt steak, also and large portion, not as saucy as my dish. The steak was cooked perfectly but not spicy as described for being blackened. We were too full to even look at the dessert menu, next time! Definitely a place I would frequent. read more

Came in for fathers day and Ive got to say the wait time was a bit much. We got sat on a timely basis by the bartender Mateo who also got us our drinks and took our order, however the food did take longer than expected to come out. Despite this, the food was exactly what we ordered and was definitely worth the wait. We were tended to by not just one but what seemed to be like both waitstaff on shift which made up for the wait time since they kept us in the loop pretty consistently. Josh and Mateo for sure made this a memorable fathers day. There were multiple large parties and Im glad to say that despite seeing people constantly being seated, we were not cast aside to be dealt with on a later date. The owner Brian also made an effort to check in with our table and assure us the same way the staff did which we greatly appreciated. Today felt like just as much a fathers day as it did a family night out. Through and through, I will likely be returning with my family perhaps on a less busy day to test the timing of it and to hopefully get our hands on their incredible Lobster once again. read more
