Lipstick on cup. Cutlery looked dirty. Rubbery chicken. Uncooked baked potato. Ambiance is old school (nice way for saying it's not renovated) A great place for older people who just want to chill and are nostalgic about this chain. The carrot muffin is pretty good though. read more

Great food and service. Not too crowded on a Thursday morning. Portion is enough to take home to go. Would come again.

Wonderful service! Loved our breakfast and the relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back

The service and food were great here!! We will definitely be coming back. Susie was a great server and ver attentive! Overall a great breakfast experience here! read more

Service was incredible and the food never disappoint! Our waitress was extremely nice and kept checking in on us!

We love Mimi's, but we usually go for breakfast, and there is nothing with a small portion size. I am diabetic and usually get eggs, bacon and sausage, but here, I still have to pay for the potatoes, toast or muffin which I cannot eat. Other places serve me just what I ask for and we can have breakfast for around $30. At Mimi's, it's hard to get out for under $50, and I just end up taking a lot of food home that ends up in the trash. read more

I have to say I am extremely disappointed with my luncheon experience at this location. For the most part of my past visits, they have been positive with the exception of the Sunday's visit (05/29/2022). Our server, Jessica, really didn't give a crap about her work. We barely saw her throughout the lunch hour, she considers "fries" that came with my sandwich as garnish and when I asked her if I was able to substitute my fries for something else, she said she didn't know if it was possible. She said "I don't know. I just work here and take orders". Her own words. I have always thought this kind of response from something from a movie. The only time Jessica was quick on her feet was when we asked for our check. Not even a minute when she returned with the check. It was obvious she was ready to get rid of us. I gave three stars only because the food has always been consistent with quality and temperature. Price: $$ Quality: A +++ Service: F - Will we return? Mostly due to their awesome buttermilk spice muffins and French onion soup. read more

I love the friendly service and the muffins! Specially around this season the pumpkin muffin is so good and I don't even like pumpkin. The food always taste so good and the service is very fast, they're on point with all of your refills. I love it. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Malted Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

Decided to order breakfast instead of making it today for the family to be delivered. Big mistake. Packaging was horrible. The bag was too big and the containers slid off and was sitting side ways will all the food inside now mixed. I order Corned beef & hash, I added onions & peppers (more onion and peppers than potatoes). Ordered sourdough toast, got sourdough bread not toasted. Over medium egg more like over hard. My wife ordered French toast, not very good either, lacked flavor. Turkey sausage was dry. Mother in law had pancakes she said they were good. Will not order breakfast Togo again. read more

Still my favorite! Don't get to this side of time much since moving to Oakdale. We made the trip just for Mimi's and boy was it worth it. Great food, great service and friendly staff! Before retiring as an elementary school principal I brought 6 principal's award students once a month. The staff, including the manager, always made my very low income kids feel so special and never charged. read more

Susie our waitress was awesome! Very sweet. Making sure we had everything we needed! Loved our lemon muffins too

The staff is always wonderful but last night I went there [granted I don't live in Modesto] ordered the roasted chicken and the chicken was old and awful, actually it made me sick after. It even smelled old, the taste was awful. why would the cook serve that? I won't be going back for now I'm really upset. Old smelly chicken come on. read more

There food is delicious and there muffins are amazing. I would highly recommend this place

Awesome service and food. Great st Patricks day drinks, very affordable. we didn't wait long to be seated.

Very Delicious Breakfast ! Fast and Great Service. Such nice people and everyone had a smile.

Wonderful service! Friendly staff, timely service. Food was delicious, I had the lemon poppyseed waffles & loved them!

Excellent food and service. Our waitress, Suzie, was incredibly attentive and sweet! The Cesar salad was made to perfection. The tomato basil soup was thick and zesty. The atmosphere was cute and quaint. We will definitely want to come back. read more

Our service was excellent always enjoyable here come here often with my kids. We enjoy atmosphere the service and food.

I had not been to a Mimis Cafe in over a decade. The waitress was very friendly & prompt. The food was amazing! I will definitely be going back. Thank you for an amazing Sunday brunch. read more

Excellent service, and very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Ambiance was calm.

I've eaten at Mimi's in Fresno and it was amazing. Modesto Mimi's was horrid. The staff were nice and attentive but that didn't make up for the horrible food. I'm not sure if they were training a new cook but I've never...just never. The waitress asked if we wanted they take the inedible food on our plates home and we both said "no" in unison. The au gratin potatoes casserole goop was so horrible that I had to force myself to swallow and really wanted to spit it out into my napkin; it tasted like it had gone bad. The green beans were overcooked and had something added to them that made them taste...I can't even describe it. The salmon was not cooked all the way. The calamari appetizer we ordered was still raw on the inside. I apologized to my partner about 50 times for asking to eat here. The best part of the meal was the molten lava cake and ice cream desert. Probably the best part because the waitress made it and not the cook. I won't be going back here again and now it makes sense why there were no cars in the parking lot on a Sunday evening. My partner cannot cook and even he could have done better than what we were served. read more

No dairy substitutions as far as milks go so I always have to end up ordering black coffee. - place has a chill but fancy environment especially outside. - very clean areas - outdoor eating/ patio available - prices are a little higher than the average restaurant I'm the area read more

Mimi's Cafe - Black coffee and a small orange juice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

I always have a great dining experience whenever I come here. The food is consistently good and the service has always been warm and friendly. For breakfast, I usually get their waffle. I'm pretty particular about the way my waffle is (sounds silly I know) and Mimi's always makes it perfect! read more

Don't get the pancakes unless you like heavy dense undercooked ones. They were only cooked on the outside edges. But the eggs bacon and blueberry muffin was good. The iced mocha coffee was decadently served in a tall flute type glass. It was delicious. By the way we got there shortly after they opened and they weren't real busy yet so no excuse for the bad pancakes. read more

Had lunch today with my 88 year old mom, at Modesto location. Soooo disappointed! Won't be back. We both ordered albacore tuna and cheese melts. They were awful , not albacore tuna at all. And not good. Served with some fries and soup. Corn chowder was ok. Waitress offered to take food back but we said no. I used to go to Mimi's in Dublin and loved it. So we gave this one a try. Next time Applebee's !! read more

Don't make advance reservations at this location, they will not honor it if they are busy, we waited 45 mins after our reservation and left, they ruined my mother's Mother's Day as she is with a walker and couldn't stand out in the heat any longer., they didn't even offer water to those waiting outside. In disbelief none of the many other patrons waiting for a table didn't offer their seat to her. Shame, just a terrible experience all around, but made the best of the rest of this special day for her once we left. As a note, I called 2 weeks in advance as I knew it would be very busy during Mothers Day and my family was driving from all over, some hours just to spend the day with my mom. read more

Service and Atmosphere 10/10 The restaurant and restrooms and very clean Nadia is the best, she is very attentive fast and friendly every time I come in! I recommend anyone in the area to stop by for great food and exceptional service you won't find many places! read more

My son's & I came into MiMi's today everyone was so friendly! Our waitress Natalie was such a doll & so professional. I was glad to see they are abiding by all Covid precautions. We will definitely be back. read more

Enjoyed an amazing lunch with my daughter at Mimi's Cafe Today! We had amazing service. Our waitress was the best! And the food was so delicious. We will definitely back soon. read more

My party of two came here on a busy Friday morning. We were sat and waited about 5 minutes for service. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my friend ordered a soup and sandwich. It took about 15 mins to get our water and 20 to get our food. It wasn't bad service given how busy it was. The food was okay. It wasn't bad or delicious. I would probably skip for a breakfast place as it is basic and overpriced in my opinion. read more

I ordered the crab cakes and they were tasteless and I couldn't even taste the crab. I will not order the again. My guest ordered the turkey dinner after asking if the turkey was real or from a pressed roast. The waitress asked before it was ordered and said she was told the turkey was real--you could tell it was pressed from the slices and taste. The service was good, however. read more

I'm so sad that Mimi's restaurant is no longer a go to restaurant. The restaurant is old and dated; the staff no longer wears uniforms to look cohesive; and the food ... don't get me started and the worst part ... they don't give out carrot raisin bread!!! read more

I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet, but I've been coming here for years, although not as much lately. You can never go wrong with cinnamon roll french toast, and I love the corn beef hash as a substitute for the other proteins offered. As good as the food is, the service is even better. I mean how many restaurants still have managers or folks running the front of the house, still checking in with each table to ensure the service is good? read more

Slow service and possibly the worst food we've had in the area. Chicken was dry, omelet was mediocre, over all everything was subpar. We will not be return costumers. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here and the decor is showing signs of wear (I.e. there was a tear in the booth seat, unfortunate). I was greeted immediately by a friendly employee. The restaurant wasn't busy at 10:30 a.m.; however, the service was slow and the food unremarkable. It'll be a truly long time (if ever) before I consider eating here again. read more

Mimi's is always a great experience. Daisy was our server. She had a great personality and made us feel welcomed.

Food was good. Ordered Pain Perdue and the Orange Marmalade was delish! Not overpoweringly sweet, just right and the french toast was toasty enough. I will say though it is very pricey. Ordered a vanilla latte which was almost $6. And it was way too sweet. We also ordered breakfast crepes which had a very creamy and tasty sauce over it. Place is a little on the older side. Waitress and host were very friendly. read more

Literally leaving this review In my car after my meal before I leave the restaurant just because the service was THAT bad. Whoever the Hispanic server chick which short brown hair needs to choose a new job. We get it. You don't like your job. You seem to be mad at life too. Maybe do yourself a favor and work somewhere where it's NOT in customer service?? The bartender (white lady with blonde hair) has a thing against POC. Ignored me, ignored others of color but right when people that looked like her came in she was overly friendly, bringing them baskets of bread, drinks (we never got anything) then just coming to ask what we want from the menu. No friendliness cause we don't match your skin tone? Yea. Mimi's is declining because of their staff. read more

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
