Mimi’s Cafe

I can’t say anything of the in-​house service as I’ve only ever gotten take-​out from here, but based on that aspect of Mimi’s, I’d have to say the food is always promptly made, the prices are reasonable, and everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious and generously portioned. The clam chowder is superb, and that’s coming from a Rhode Island native.

I’m giving this a 5 because our server was attentive, polite and very friendly to my family. The kitchen always seems so behind but as long as my food comes out HOT and correct I usually don’t fuss.
Friendly people all around :-)

Decent, servers are nice and quick for the most part. Don’t ask for details on menu items because a few of them won’t know. I got the breakfast there once and found plastic in my pancakes, but other than that there a nice little French style restaurant. They give you loads of food for the price. If you have but alert use though, I suggest you tell them right away because they give you bread with nuts in it as an appetizer. Overall, if you’re in the mood for something hardy, I would go here for dinner.

I absolutely love this Café!!! My two favorite people are Stacey and Daniel. Their service is impeccable and they always know exactly what I’m going to order. They make me feel like family when I’m there. For those of you who love salads, Mimis mediteranian is the best!!! I have always loved the atmosphere here as well! If you’re looking for good food, service and comfortable atmosphere, Mimis is the place to go

It was a nice evening and they have an outdoor patio, so I did not mind sitting outside until everyone outside started to get attacked by pigeons. I didn’t even notice the bird poop that was on some of the tables until this attack started to happen. At that point, I decided to get a seat inside the restaurant along with the few others that sat outside. Everyone was surprised that the staff didn’t even go out to clean the tables outside, the food out there just kept attracting birds and some were even attacking each other.
I’ve ordered take out several times from here and didn’t disappoint, but after this (the first time) it might be the last time I do eat there.

My husband and I ate went there for breakfast. We got their Buttermilk pancakes with eggs and sausage and a cup of not so tasty coffee. We couldn’t even eat the pancakes, they were so thick and doughy. We couldn’t eat them. The waitress did give us some complimentary croissants which were very delicious. The restaurant is nice and the service was descent, we will probably give it another try.

Just love this place. The food is always on point. Our favorite server is, Danielle. She knows what A+ service is!

Today was Easter. Sounded like a good day t have a ham dinner. Their brunch seemed a good value and we’ve eaten here many times. They may be trying to stay ahead of the crowd, but our food came out lukewarm and did not remain hot. The salads were warm and limpy. Too bad. Everything tastes good but when something is supposed to be cold… or hot… it’s disappointing when it’s not. Not our favorite visit to Mimi’s. Maybe next time.

After reading the mixed reviews I will admit to some apprehension about coming here for breakfast. I was even more concerned because we arrived later than usual and I expected the parking lot to be full or waiting, starving people. Maybe because of our timing, or in spite of it, just a few minutes passed before we got seated. The décor appeared to be a stab at New Orleans. But although it sort of missed that mark, it is a well decorated place with a high ceiling that provide more national park lodge ambiance than Bourbon Street. Still, the surroundings were pleasant and quaint enough to provide some variety. Our server, Stacey was friendly and pleasant and took our order promptly. She was attentive, and in addition to taking our order asked us if we had been there before. We told her our «snowbirds searching for the best breakfast restaurant» story which she took time to listen to even though the place was full and she was busy. She brought coffee, juice, fruit and my wife’s croissant quickly so we had a reason to be there without waiting aimlessly for the rest of the stuff to arrive.
For as busy as they were, the main meal was served promptly. I had the Mushroom, Bacon & Brie omelet which was very good, superior to most omelets that I would consider good. My wife had the Quiche Florentine which she really really enjoyed. In short the food was excellent.
As we were getting ready to pay up and leave John, who must be one of the managers, brought us a box with two huge muffins in recognition of our first time experience with them and an inducement to return. All and all it was a pleasant and satisfying experience.
So why not 5 stars? The silverware had water spots and they really should use some Finish or equivalent in their dishwasher. I really hated to subtract the star, but for the water spotting we’re not quite at «as good as it gets.»

can’t say enough about this mimi’s. staff & food excellent. french onion soup to die for too. had pot roast tonite and no need for a knife.
wife had skewered shrimp & salmon. 2 great meals. yea mimi’s

This place is bad. So bad. I ordered a turkey club sandwich and not only did my waitress take forever to get to my table but the food tasted very dry like it was sitting out. The fries I got were also so cold and disgusting. Our waiter was nice but It took her forever to come and ask what we wanted to order and pick up our check. This place in general has horrible food and service.

I came here with my family and was pleasantly surprised with the fish&chips. We also had the French onion soup which is always awesome. The food is always pretty close to home cooking as your gonna get. Jessica our server was great, not much of a happy birthday singer BUT great service thanks Jessica and Mimi’s for a great experience

$ 4.99 KID MEALS won me over. Im a family of four with two kids so finding a place that gives my kids something to eat for cheap is great! You have many options to choose from. A good place for breakfast, lunch and Dinner dates with the Hubby. cheap wines and more. I wish i had one closer

I’ve eaten here numerous times, and it’s never been as bad as it was today. My dad and I came in for breakfast and we were sat immediately. Our server was very polite and quick.
The problems started when the food came. The fruit was dried out and hard, like it had been sitting on the counter after it was cut for several hours. My oatmeal was still in the shape of the pan it had been over cooked in and was dry. Then my dads omelette was extremely small, flat, and over cooked. We mentioned the fruit to the waiter and he replied that the fruit was cut like that. No… fruit doesn’t come out solid like plastic.
So I asked for the manager and told him our complaints. We were trying to be polite about it as possible. He said he would see what happened and walked away. He never came back to speak with us again.
We finally tracked down the waiter to ask for the check and he told us the check had been taken care of. Very nice of them, but the manager nor the waiter told us anything until after we asked where the check was. The manager didn’t offer an apology, check back in, or offer to fix the meal brought out.
Then I had to break a ten to leave a tip for the waiter, and I couldn’t find the waiter again. I went to the front and the hostess told me she couldn’t help me and to ask someone else.
So after all was said and done, we got change from another waitress on the other side. I left a tip for his service, and we left. The hostess didn’t offer any kind of farewell when we were leaving, she had a bit of an attitude.
This place has been getting worse for awhile now. It used to be a great place to eat, but not anymore. Especially after today, I won’t be visiting them again. Which is a shame because my family has been eating there for years.

Tried the smoked salmon egg Benedict. Wasn’t very impressed as the hollandaise sauce tasted very chalky. Needless to say, I ate it all as I was starving and the side of roasted potatoes were delicious! The house coffee was just ok. The menu was extensive with a variety of different items which can appeal to anyone. The service was also very fast and attentive. I would give it another go and stick to more common American items like French toast or sandwiches.

Alright. Originally we were gonna go to B-​Dubs across the way, but we decided… why not? Let’s give MiMis a try.
First off. The dark ambient lighting. Really dim. Kinda gave off the vibe.
I ordered the Half whole chicken. Presentation was nothing like the picture. But none the less, looked good. Chicken, very tender. Light skin, and very very light flavor. I don’t I’ve ever had to add salt and pepper from the table to any plate I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant.
Plus side. The fries were pretty dam good though.
The other plate we ordered was the steak. Actually, very well cooked, it wasn’t half bad. (⁷⁄₁₀)
BUT. We did find a piece of plastic wrapper on the fries. So that really was a turn off.
Other then that, we should have went to b-​dubs instead.

What happened!?! This place has good food and service at every location except this one. My poor waitress was «friendly», however, another waitress was sweeping around our table. This is rude because sweeping causes dust to fly in the air and if your eating you are inhaling and eating flying dirt and germs.
The sweeping waitress lingered around our table pretending to sweep, but it was a front. Soon as my boyfriend mentioned what he was ordering, this nosey sweeping worker chimed in and gave her two cents. Not only did I want her to leave with her dirty broom, but now she is really being over-​bearingly rude. This wasn’t her table and soon afterwards, she announced that she cleaned her space and was leaving — Thank goodness!!!
The original waitress returned and brought our food. We ordered tea and she never offered refills. Toward the end of the meal we needed a to-​go container and she was slow to bring it, and was more focused on the tip. When she saw the 20% tip, she sort of gave a look of disappointment.
Never will I return. My boyfriend remembered bringing his mom there, many years ago. I always remembered it as a dump. Bad attitudes and snobby wait staff. Too bad because before all the competition came to that area, they had the opportunity to leave an excellent reputation. THIS IS A RESTAURANT WITH JUST THE NAME. EATER BEWARE!!!

We immediately noticed that the staff seemed really unhappy. The greeter was not friendly. The waitress was extremely efficient but also not smiley. It makes you feel as though you are imposing on the staff by coming. Of course we never know what is happening in people’s lives, but I am not naming any names, so no one is getting hurt.
After being patrons since 1999 we have come to expect much better. We were told we would have to wait 20 – 25 minutes for the pot pie– ok. But you changed your authentic chicken pot pie, made of pie dough and real pieces of chicken to a bowl full of goo, pre fabricated pieces of chicken with flaky frozen biscuit dough on top which immediately became soggy. This was what I waited 25 minutes for? It was not even edible. It appears you have gone down hill.
Also, we were sat right by the kitchen and it was so loud you could barely hear people at your table at times. An employee was standing on the booth next to us washing windows. This is something that should be done after hours.
It was just unpleasant, all of it :(Not coming back.

Place was clean, and we’ll maintained. We were approached and seated quickly.
Our server was nice. She kept drinks topped off and even brought our food to the table pretty quickly. Only drawback was the adult plates and silverware. We needed to swap out dirty silverware upon arrival to table. Our red potatoes were old and dry. My toast was burnt. My husband’s English muffin was also burnt. And my salt came with a side of bacon it was so salty. The food was subpar at best.
A little baffled because last time I was here the food was awesome. And for a Monday when many are at work I would have expected exceptional food.

Still 3 ½ stars.
Went to Mimi’s Café again for a breakfast date with the wifey. I am still surprised how packed this place is in the morning. Lucked out and asked if we could see the lunch menu as well. Fortunately, a number of lunch items on their menu are available at breakfast (things like pot roast are not). Not feeling too breakfast-​y, the wifey and I opted for something off the lunch menu.
Mimi’s lunch menu has many options — from salads, to hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, and entrees. Many of them looked yummy. We both chose from the sandwich and burger section.
Wifey had the Bacon Avocado Sourdough Burger — grilled garlic-​Parmesan sourdough with avocado, Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, and 1000 Island dressing. She chose a side of Mimi’s House Salad with vinaigrette. She liked it a lot! Burger was a nice size patty and cooked just right with some pink in the middle, avocado and veggies were fresh, and the bacon and grilled sourdough gave the burger nice texture crunch. Overall very tasty.
I had the French Dip (ooh la la) — sliced roast beef on a toasty baguette with horseradish cream and a side of au jus. I could have added bell peppers, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella for an extra fee but decided not to because I really wanted to taste the beef. For my side I chose French fries. Verdict? Not bad! Good French Dip indeed but I’ve had it better in other places. The baguette was a bit dry, but nothing some extra (extra) horseradish cream couldn’t solve. Slather that baby up! The meat was tender and sliced just right on the thinner side for a better bite, great flavor when dipped into the au jus. Just wish the meat portion was larger! I probably should have added at least some mozzarella cheese as well since that would have added some unctuousness to the sandwich. But a very good effort on a French Dip.
Mimi’s Café is not a bad option for a nice breakfast or lunch. It’s cozy and very inviting. The prices are a bit more on the high side for an entrée, but it’s worth going every once in a while for some French influenced cuisine.
