As a mother on Mother's Day just wanting to enjoy some delicious food... I definitely wasn't let down by the food... but as a walk in customer... Not knowing they did reservations.. I was very upset by the 2 hour wait.. As I put my name on the list. I asked how long the wait would be she said like an hour.. I understood since reservations were made... but it seemed as tho they were only letting reserved parties sit.. Anyone who came walking in was told the wait would only be an hour wait... Which was not the truth. Maybe next time for a holiday just say you're only serving reserved parties because myself, my mother, and grandmother spent our whole morning just waiting to eat. Although the food was nice... we will not be eating there next year. I had to go remind the host that we waited for over 2 hours.. She asked, "are you a walk in?" I said "yes" and as she was only going off the reservation list she looked over and grabbed the walk in paper that was turned over and it was obvious that walk ins were not a priority. It was jammed packed in there so I will give the place a decent rating due to the food and it being a holiday.. but next time please don't lie to those who are walking in.. specially mamas on Mother's Day. read more

First, I have to say Mimi's hasn't changed a bit in the best way possible. This is a staple in Modesto and still lives up to its name after all these years. It is hands down the best place for a delicious breakfast. The menu has a wide variety of options. The service is absolutely amazing. Susie is the BEST there! She was so sweet, accommodating, positive, and just a gem all around. I will be returning for the awesome breakfast and super service this place has to offer. read more

Great food and we love their muffins! We always eat at Mimi's and our server Suzy was so friendly that we had a better experience. Suzy made us feel very welcome and appreciated as a customer. read more

Great service. , expensive food. We tried to like our food but didn't. We got hard overcooked eggs, toast was approx three dollars extra everything cost extra and poorly cooked.. To be fair ,the muffins were fresh and warm. read more

Ordered Bacon/ham potatoes and eggs. Ham - fatty thin sliced deli ham Potatoes- flavorless dry potatoes - as if they were sitting under a heat lamp for hours Eggs undercooked Stale toast Coffee and water 2 breakfast meals. $48.00 plus Muffins good Server good - 10.00 tip because it's not the servers fault for how food was cooked. Would not recommend Mimi's Cafe. 58.00 for breakfast - ridiculous read more

Our go to restaurant for breakfast, we have had our Christmas breakfast here for several years in a row and they have always accommodated our large group with split tabs.

Today was a great day at Mimi's. Tracy was our waitress and she was all about taking care of the customer. The food came out fast. The drinks we ordered from the bar were super good! Going out to eat these days is expensive but it's nice when you do go out to eat and enjoy the positive and delightful service that one can bring to the table. Tracy cares about her customers for sure. Thanks you! read more

I just had the driest corned beef and eggs delivered. I've had this delivered before, and past orders had big, juicy portions. Sadly, there was about 1/4 of the usual portion, mostly small potatoes mixed with shreds of dry beef. With a side of bigger potatoes. The eggs were also overcooked, no beautiful egg yolk oozed out when I poked it. There's usually love in Mimi's food, but this was just sad. It was supposed to be a treat after a hard week. : ( read more

I went to have an early lunch today with my friend. We ordered avocado toast. The bread was hard as a rock. The waitress never checked back with us how our food was. It was awful We won't be back read more

I met friends there for a last minute lunch Sunday. Our server was super friendly and professional, accommodating our group of six. Everyone was happy with the food and experience. I hadn't been there in years, as I live out of the area. So I wonder...what happened to all the decor that used to hang in the main dining room? It's all gone. What happened to the great bread baskets they used to serve? when did that stop? I loved those. Last, I hope management sees this...The sound system is a big minus for the experience. It sounds like bad reception from an A.M. radio, with a tinny quality. Everyone complained about that. Seems easy enough to fix. Thanks! read more

Have been going to Mimi's forever - always great food, cute ambiance and seasonal decor. The staff is always a joy to talk to and are always quick and accommodating. Special thank you to Tracy, who has taken care of us our past few visits -Tay read more

We just recently moved to this town and been to many places around for breakfast but this place has toped off by far. My husband and I had a great visit our server Cindy was just the most helpful and nice, gave us great service with great recommendations. We will be coming back to try more of the muffins soon! read more

I've been here at this particular store several times. It was a very relaxing home style place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. This time there was a big change. The music was loud and almost party atmosphere, the pictures and wall decor was gone and now just plain tan walls. This is not the same mimi's we are use too. If this is the new mimi's, I'm done read more

great customer service and the food was delicious! great quality food!! and the setting is beautiful and relaxing, enjoyed drinking coffee and eating my yummy muffin read more

The food here is great ...our waitress Jessica knows her job well and very professional...the service Is top notch However if you want bread and butter you have to ask for it ... it's a new policy because we just ate there in March ... it is no longer offered ... not the wait staffs fault ... just corporate greed read more

Second time in about 6 months we've been here and I'd say this is a so-so restaurant. They told us up front the menu items that weren't available that day, and that happened the last time too. Maybe they need a new kitchen manager. My dinner was entirely forgettable, though my son's mac & cheese looked good. There are better places to eat for sure. read more

I really like the cafe but disappointed that there not serving shell fish anymore. Wonderful place to eat otherwise.

After ordering, the waitress returned to our table and told me that they were out of the chicken pot pie I'd ordered so I substituted a cheeseburger. It was good and so were the fries but nothing special. The others at our table enjoyed their meals, including our 3 year old grandson who had a waffle and scrambled egg. It's a nice restaurant with good service, a little expensive but I guess that's the new normal. read more

Good breakfast and great service. Thank you Suzie! I'll be back soon read more

Excellent service! Food always great! I've been coming here for over a decade and it's always great.

This is a 5 star review based on the EXCELLENT service we had today for my surprise birthday party. We were a party of 30+ and all I can say is this is the perfect venue for a intimate gathering. The ambience was perfect, the service was perfect, fast, efficient and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that we were happy. The food was good and hot for such a large party, but what stood out the most was the amazing service by Jaime and Susan. Thanks to these 2 servers my 50th was even more special. They went out of their way to make sure this birthday girl was happy, thanks again to you both and to Mimi's for having great staff. read more

I had a French dip with gluten free bread, the bread was not toasted but hard, the roast beef was flavorless and very dry. The au jus and fries were lukewarm, the bill was $/4 for a meal that was not appetizing. My friend had to ask for her soup to be warmed up, the service was good but we will not return to Mimi's, it has gone downhill tremendously read more

Amazing food and very clean and hospitality highly recommended I got the chicken pot pie and it was amazing

Great food especially right after church. Very down to earth service and got us seating really quick. Mimi pancake sampler definitely worth a try! read more

Very great service!! The food was delicious and Tara gave us great service definitely recommend

Lately we have been enjoying a Saturday morning breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. The food and the service are both great. Our regular server Tara is the best! read more

Mimi's Cafe is my favorite breakfast spot! Food is fantastic! Love the Eggs Benedict and omelets. Great service from Tara! Thank you Mimi's.

The muffins are probably the only thing I have to say good about this place. The Chefs eggs are more inadequate than the ones the waitresses produced over 30 years ago. Go to Perkos, it's more consistent. read more

The food was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs. Mimi's never disappoints.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews....we went for breakfast and had a great experience. Food was great, Mia, our server, was very attentive and took good care of us. No complaints here. Will be back! read more

Great place to take the family. Hands down best croissant breakfast sandwich. Our hostess was fenomenal.

Our breakfast was very tasty, came out quickly. The service is top notch. Music was a bit loud for me but that wouldn't stop me from returning. I love a clean place, this one was immaculate. read more

Great Service, great food Always one of our favorite places to go. Love their muffins!

This place is great, and it's ridiculous that it doesn't have 5 stars on here. I've been there a few times and each has been above satisfactory. Most recently, I went alone about middle of the day, and it was really slow. The food was great and the prices were just, but the service was perfect. The hostess was very polite, and at no point did I have to ask for my drink to be filled or have a plate taken. Granted it was slow, but when hosts do the little things right even when it's not busy, you can bet on their good performance at any time. These people care and are good at what they do: make good food and cultivate a good experience. I can't wait to go back. read more
