My family had the worst experience on Mothers Day. They waited more than 2hours to be seated but they were ok with that being that they always enjoy breakfast/brunch/lunch. After being seated the server took 15 mins to meet and greet and take the order only to be told they are doing supper !!! We're talking about 11:30 am and there is a fixed pricing of 28$ per plate . The supper menu consisted of only dinner items nothing was posted at the door stating that was all that was available to the clients. , now who would want this. The server mentions that they have limited food available, are we in jail that we have rations now. The server was very rude not to mention. When ask for the manager she then says "whatever I say to you the manager will say the same". We have supported this establishment for years and to be treated as such was a total embarrassment only because we took new family members along to enjoy what they offer. I get it that it's a busy day but that's no way to treat anyone especially when our family visits almost every week. It's a total shame and disgust. The staff needs training and an attitude readjustment!! The manager never addressed the matter because they were too busy. You didn't loose just one customer, you lost 5 house hold of people. read more

I've been going for over 25 years to Mimi's, I love the original back in the day recipes. I wish they would bring them all back. But none the less the food is always delicious. Highly recommend the corn chowder soup, the Santa Fe omlette, & the muffins. Hoping they also bring back the upside down pineapple muffin for good. read more

I can't understand why this place has three stars the food was great the service was even better

I like this place but service is slow every time. And is not busy. Food is good enough to come back. Eggs beneath are great. They need to do better on their hospitality and service. read more

We were out celebrating our 46th year wedding anniversary. We had planned to have dinner at the Olive Garden restaurant in the Rialto Renaissance Center, but after reading several negative reviews regarding poor service and disregard for their customers, we chose to go to Mimi's Bistro on Sierra Lakes Parkway in Fontana. We have always been very pleased with the quality of their food and service.Jackie, the hostess, was cordial and quickly seated us. Hanna was our waitress and she was very attentive to our dining experience. She quickly took our order and returned throughout our meal to ask if anything else was needed. Thank you Jackie and Hanna for providing such good service and being so professional. Our dinners had generous servings and were well prepared. Food presentations were also very professional. We will be returning soon. My family has owed seven restaurants, so service and customer satisfaction has always been important to us. read more

I don't get how this place is still open! Every time I come in I have to wait but there's only half the restaurant open. I've only been here three times but it seems odd to be that they are never busy. Service always seems friendly. I haven't had any bad experience with that. Cafe mochas are delish, bloody Mary's not so much! Their mimimosa is good too. Their food not so good. I love the corn chowder at the MiMi's in Rancho and this one tasted old and like something funky was added to it. My mistake for eating it because it was sort of a yellow brown instead of yellow. Also, the grilled cheese was soggy and didn't have that normal crisp Parmesan crust on it. I wouldn't turn down all MimI's, just this one! read more

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Avianna & Brandon) From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Avianna -- who sat us at our favorite booth. Brandon (from whom we have had the pleasure of receiving service in the past) was our server again, and did a fantastic job (in spite of the fact that they were extremely busy). At one point, when Brandon was helping some other guests, I asked Avianna (the kind, friendly, and professional hostess who had seated us) if she could get something for us -- and she cheerfully accommodated my request (even though it was not really her job -- I really appreciated it). Not only that -- but while Brandon was calculating our "bill," -- I again asked Avianna if she would be able to go get a couple of Muffins for us (my Mother REALLY Loves Mimi's Muffins) -- and she again, cheerfully complied. Between Brandon (who provided excellent service) and Avianna (who provided excellent support) we had a truly fabulous dining experience. I would highly recommend this Mimi's location to anyone who wants great food, and even better service. read more

I'm actually pretty pissed...I ordered the beef hash eggs Benedict ...HORRIBLE....IT HAD LIKE 3 THIN SHREDDED beef slivers. Was extremely disappointing. 30 bucks on To Go breakfast I'm livid. This place is pricey they could afford to give copius amounts of meat I'm sure. Won't be going back. The only reason I give it 2 stars is the pineapple upside muffin was amazing. Stick to baking cause the food you serve is skimpy and flavorless. read more

The cashier taking orders helped someone that walked in after me. When I asked why he did it he said "hes picking up a to go order" I said that does not matter, first come first serve, let me talk to the manager. I told the manager what happened & he just stood their looking at me not saying anything then finally he said "I will talk to him at the end of his shift". My thought was..why wait till then, this needs to be addressed immediately. He said can I offer u complimentary muffins, I said ok, he said how many, I said as many as u can, he gave me 2. I purposely didn't say a amount just to see how many he would give me. Totally unacceptable plus I went on the corporate site to say what happens & no one ever replied. read more

This place has really fell off in many years . The waitress and hostess , greeters are extremely rude . I know it's a labor shortage .. however the atmosphere here is unpleasant with the people they gave working here . Food is not prepared like it used to be .. it's just seemed to be thrown together . It's like some expensive hospital food now . It's terrible . The food that you do get besides being just thrown together it maybe not cooked well enough . It's really sad that this place has went down so bad . They need a whole entire new staff and new cooks . This is my review from several times trying to give them another chance . It's a joke and disappointing read more

Waited long enough and still no one to seat us. Left the place. Ridiculous. No wonder this place is slow. read more

Inattentive service. 10 minute wait for a table when the restaurant was only half full. Service never put flatware on the table and then only brought half as much as was needed. We had to remind a different server to bring our ordered Corn Chowder, then they brought cup vs the ordered bowl. The only reason this review get two stars verses one star is the primary server made a (weak) attempt at resolving the situation. I will never return. read more

Came to have breakfast on a Monday morning. Sat at the bar and waited on a server to come assist me. She helped the table next to me but never even asked if I needed water or anything. Walked past me multiple times. Once I got up and walked past the host he insisted I had a good day. Rather sarcastic or not, it was inappropriate when I clearly asked him where was my server moments ago. Not one to post bad reviews but this experience was beyond annoying. read more

This place gave me and my 20 year old diarrhea. They served us runny scrambled eggs. I went shopping after we ate. And I had to leave in a emergency because I was sweating and having abdominal pain and back pain. I thought I was having contractions. I am also 26 weeks so I'm not sure if I caught salmonella. I haven't been here in years and definitely won't come back. read more

Hello Mimi's . I want to take this time to give an amazing review. This morning I was here and had a great breakfast. The food was amazing, I had egg, turkey sausage and yummy potato's sooooo good!!! The coffee was amazing. Now let's talk about my server. Her name is Vivian and she was amazing. She was extremely polite and extremely friendly. Vivian deserves a Five Star review. She was on top of everything, and always had a smile on her face. She is very polite and a very happy employee. We will definitely be back and hopefully have Vivian again. Thank you Vivian for being amazing! read more

Mimi's Cafe was my family's go to for Sunday breakfast for years. About 2 years ago we noticed a decline in service and food quality. We stopped coming for about a year now. We tried to give it another shot today and big mistake! Without exaggeration it took 30 minutes to get drinks and almost 2 HOURS to get our food. The waitress was nice and apologetic , assuring we would get a discount. Well we got $4 off, definitely didn't make up for the inconvenience of dealing with 3 hungry kids for 2 hours. Never again. read more

We marked Naked wings with sauce in the side on our order. When we went to pick up they added the sauce on the wings and when the hostess asked for the manager all she said was "oh, let me take this back its going to take a while". This the the 2nd time this has happened. The food is not bad but dont do take out when you keep getting the orders wrong and cant do it properly. Not going to dine in anymore either due to my experience. read more

No matter which Mimi's I go to- I feel like I'm being snubbed. Which is too bad because I really like their menu. As usual, food was great and service, well... read more

Good service and pretty decent food. The waiter was attentive and efficient. The email club makes it a great value. read more

I'm usually I'm not the type to review places but my experience here was great! My server, Lynnette was friendly and very attentive. I ordered the Croquet Moncier, a strong cheese taste but I was surprised on how good it was. Overall a nice spot to just enjoy your meal! read more

Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff all have great attitudes. Excellent service!!

Did I just walk into a senior living facility? There are so many old' timers that come here because of their awesome discounts and coupons (which i use). They might as well change every parking spot to handicapped, tv's to black and white, and butterscotch candy as a desert item. Every server is hispanic...which means hard working people that will always bring you soda refills. ALSO, their thanksgiving deals are amazing for take out/catering. read more

Such a disappointment! Service was deplorable. Six servers were loudly chatting in an area off the dining room while we were waiting for someone to acknowledge our existence. Loud waitress went into kitchen and told staff to go on to Yelp and give Mimis excellent ratings. This is my first review on Yelp, I felt that I needed to provide a true assessment of the restaurant before the staff's fake ones. read more

I was there last night with my family. I usually have lunch there a couple of times a week. The service is usually great during the busy lunch crowd. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Friday night dinner service. It was not busy at all, yet it took us (along with three other families) about ten minutes to be helped by the hostess. We finally got seated and waited another 10-15 minutes before our server made it to our table. Another 10-15 minutes to get us our tea and water. At that point she said she would give us more time to look over the menu. I told her we were ready to order and that just made things worse. She was rushed and eager to leave our table. We could not finish our sentence before running off. We were missing place settings, she spilled some of the hot water from the tea so we needed napkins to clean it up because she did not offer to do so, we needed straws for our water, spoons for our soup, honey for the tea. We look like idiots having to ask for everything piece by piece because she would run away. Finally, a manager came to check on us and I explained what was going on. She gave us the obligatory apology and said she would ask her to slow down. At the end, my sister's soup turned cold waiting for a spoon, the tea got cold waiting for the honey, and the fries got cold and greasy waiting for ketchup that we never got. What's worse is that she was totally condescending to us after her manager spoke to her. She talked to us very slowly in a very sarcastic and disrespectful manner. It was the most bizarre dinner service. read more

Never come back here again they both my breakfast I had the cinnamon roll breakfast they were cold and hard as a rock my potatoes were also cold and soggy their waitress was nice and friendly read more

Mimi's is just ok. I'm not a huge fan of the food, but I can find at least one thing on the menu that I can enjoy. This place is great for families and it seems like everyone can find something on the menu that they can eat. Whenever I go to Mimi's, I order the crispy artichoke dippers and the Mediterranean pasta. The crispy artichoke dippers are actually pretty good. The pasta is a little better than ok. The ambiance here is nice. Very family-friendly. The service was friendly here too. Parking was easy--they have a huge lot. Would I come back here willingly--no. However if my family wants to go, sure, I'll tolerate it. read more

This place is my Regal Begal. I only sit at the bar for Happy Hour. Elena is a great bartender. What I like most about this place is that the staff seems to genuinely like one another. I feel like I am a part of some social group when I come there. Now that Mimis has a small plate menu with most of the fare starting at $3.00, who wouldn't want to come? House wines for 5 bucks from 4-7, yes please. read more

I don't recommend this place. The guy was rubbing his JOHNSON through the apron and then made penis designs with the bread sticks and raisin bread. Only god knows what was going on in the back. Then the steak was over salted and so was the mashed potatos which serving was smaller than my fist. I was going to contact the dept. of Health but this is better. Nice café gone bad with the employee who was serv read more

Its such a nice old school restaurant. The waitress was really nice. The only complaint is their food is not up to par. Ordered a medium well burger but the burger was completely raw and the fries were undercooked. My brother ordered an omelette and it was flavorless and his potatoes tasted raw and as if the potatoes were too old. Would not eat here again. The food was not that great for the price that I paid. read more

I just got back from Mimi's Cafe. I took my parents here because it had just opened a few weeks ago.. and it's Valentine's Day weekend.. so I thought I'd be a good daughter and take them out. The server we had was very friendly and hard working. She couldn't get to us right away, but she would constantly let us know that she'd be with us. We didn't feel neglected at all. My dad ordered some fish dish. He like it. But he was seated across from me that I didn't pay attention to what he had exactly. He ate it all, so I'm assuming he liked it. Mom had the ribs. Instead of fries, she asked for vegetables and they easily obliged. She enjoyed the ribs. She said they were meaty and flavorful, even though the bbq sauce wasn't too smokey. She says it could have been a little better if it was. She enjoyed it and said she'd get it again some other time. I had the pot roast. Yum. Tender meat, and good brown sauce. I'd get it again. I also had a cafe mocha.. and that was good too. But I'm happy with any type of coffee drink.. I am by no means a coffee snob! We ended the night getting the classic dessert ensemble.. or whatever it's called.. it came with an apple crisp, breadpudding, and a brownie sundae.. soooo yummy. It's definitely a place I'll go back to. Recommmended.. yum! read more

This place sucks. 3rd time here and finally had to share one of three very similar experiences. If you're looking to take an hour and 15 minutes to get a hamburger and a salad with only four other tables occupied then this is the place for you. It was a struggle to get order taken, get check and even get check back for credit card signature. Service is extremely slow. Manager is extremely inattentive and would never acknowledge my eye contact or vocal "excuse me". Food was good but we won't be back. read more

I went for breakfast for the first time here today. I had an avocado BLT omelette. It was good and their potatoes were good. It's ok food. Nothing to rave or complain about. Just your standard breakfast food. However, their service was eh. Our first waitress was real nice. An older lady, can't remember her name but she had to go on break so she handed us over to Megan for all our needs. My mom and I really needed to refill our overpriced generic tea but Megan (who I had no idea who she was) was nowhere to be seen. Countless waitresses passed by us, I'm sure one of them had to be Megan. But alas my I've cubes started melting without any tea in them. I even put my glass on the edge of the table as an obvious sign. I saw one waitress glance at it, I know she did! I think that was Megan. But nope. Nobody came by. Our waitress came back after half an hour and I told her that nobody came by and she was sincerely apologetic and have us a free muffin. That was nice. It's not just about getting my dumb tea refilled but if you're gonna work in the service industry, then know what you're getting into. Passing by a table you're supposed to be servicing and just glancing doesn't just look bad on you, it looks bad on the whole team and restaurant. Megan, you represent Mimi's cafe here. I'm not an important person and I don't feel self entitled but I've worked in public service and retail so it really irks me when I experience bad customer service. However, I wish I could remember the name of our real waitress. She was a nice lady. Damn me for only remembering ghost Megan. read more

Great service was disappointed no french pot roast or any pot roast available but overall it was a good meal. Funny thing is this place always is out of something when i order it..... read more

Came in for a quick drink after work. There was hardly anyone there around that time. The bar was also empty, but helped me get my drinks a lot faster. Brandon is a great bartender and kept them coming. I will def be dropping by again. read more

Save Your Money! Earlier this year after a change of new ownership we noticed that quality has been sacrificed to save a dime. Apparently someone at corporate made a decision to change vendors and what was once our favorite place for soup has become the last place we would go for good soup. I can't speak about any other change to the rest of the food because we have not returned since our last visit 6 months ago. I am curious to know if my wife and I are the only ones out there that have really enjoyed all of Mimi's Cafe soups in the past? Ex-once a week customers. read more

After a long day of house painting, a friend and I stopped in for an afternoon meal on the way home yesterday (9/24/17). The food was great (I had the Roasted Chicken Croque Monsieur), and the service was exceptional. Our waitress, Hannah, was amazing and took excellent care of us. She had a wonderful personality, served us quickly and with a smile, and even played tic-tac-toe and hangman with us for fun. Great experience and meal. Thank you Hannah! :) read more

I'm a fan of the Chicken Pot Pie at Mimi's Cafe! It's a good size Pot Pie, and the crust is flaky, the chicken, the cream sauce & the rest of the pie is delish!! I also like having breakfast at Mimi's....they've got the bomb omelettes & my favorite....French Toast Breakfast! Service at this spot is great, and they're quick getting the dishes out right away. What got me coming back is definitely the Chicken Pot Pie....it's the biz!!! read more
