    Turkey Dinner
    Philip L.

    I've been a long time patron of Mimi's going back over 20 years. Their menu has gone through various changes over the years but I'm glad to see they have resisted the over-modernization that many chains have become subject to. Most of their meals are classics done right, the old fashioned way, as they should be. The Moreno Valley location specifically has great service and is always quiet and clean. When it comes to the food, they certainly deliver with great sit down dining delivered quickly and at a good value. Although they don't give the carrot bread in the free bread basket anymore, the sourdough and real butter is still exceptional. I typically don't give 5 stars to chain restaurants but it has been so difficult to find sit-down restaurants with high quality with good value now days, I had to grade on a curve.

    I forgot I took pictures the last time we were there, I guess I can't add them without putting some words here. Somewhat of a flaw for Yelp The salmon Benedict was delicious He ate all of his pot pie We enjoyed it a lot

    Jambalaya over Rice (No Shrimp)

    Located on the corner of Day St. and Campus Pkwy. with plenty of parking. We've enjoyed Mimi's for many years now and continue having a good experience at this location. The restaurant is clean and organized with a full-sized bar and an outside seating set-up (although I've never seen customers dining outside). On this past visit, I tried their 'Jambalaya' served over rice. It was really tasty and fresh. We added 'Six Carrot Raisin Nut Madeleines' to our bread basket which was a great idea. Their menu consists of 'Burgers, Sandwiches, Salads, Steaks, Salmon, Chicken Pot-Pie, Pasta, Soups, All-Day Breakfast, and more'. Prices are fair and portions are generous. Service was great. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Shout out to our server, 'Maria' who was super attentive and made sure we had a positive dinner experience. We will continue to choose this Mimi's based on their good service.

    Went for a bridal shower in a private seating area with very cozy atmosphere. The server was very friendly and attentive. The menu had a lot of options. Very nice place and service.

    The salmon was perfectly cooked not dry! The salad was fresh! Our server was very nice and I love the walls and pictures! I am glad it's only 10 minutes away from home!

    MOTHER'S DAY 5/11/25, like the other 3-5 recent reviews this past week stated, it was that bad. 5 stars (& knock on wood I did not get sick as I just had gallbladder removed) the food meet our expectations, the drinks were good & that's only the positive. The server was ok, it wasn't his fault Mimi's Moreno Valley overbooked everyone at the same time- 11:15 am and the front & inside up to the counter where you check in was a complete ClusterF%#@! Everyone with reservations were told they had a 30 minute + wait. What was the point of reservations if you aren't seated at least within 5 minutes of arrival time. It was Mother's Day, we all agree it's going to be crazy crowded everywhere but our entire time spent up to waiting for our check was close to 5 hours; 30 min wait time to we got called to get seated; got a server asking us what we wanted to drink & bread appetizer within 20 minutes being seated; 30 minutes he finally came with drinks & didn't take our order; came back 45-50 minutes after we finished drinks & bread & finally took our orders; an hour & a 1/2 later is when we finally got our food & ordered more drinks - 30 min when they finally arrived & last, 30 min till we got check, boxed up deserts & waited for another box for my daughters food. I honestly if it wasn't for my daughters, would've left seeing the long line of people, flowing to outside area mainly because I'm still disabled dealing with knee still giving out but I didn't want to do that to them, they seemed really happy to do this for me and I would do it again but not this restaurant ever again. I love Mimi's but never go on the holidays especially Mother's Day. Mimi's Cafe franchises DO BETTER! And I'm not interested in calling your corporate number to complain, you already sucked our energy out on Mother's Day.

If you know, then you know. I have had the good fortune of dining at some of the finest steakhouses in the area as I have very generous friends who are REALLY nice to me. I say that not to impress you, but to impress upon you I know a little something about finer dining. Steer n Stein doesn't offer all the steakhouses options of those places, but does come close at much more affordable prices. But, this is not why you should come here. Jordon. Jordon is why you should frequent this location every chance you get. As I alluded to, I have had meals at some of the better steakhouses in the area and have never had a finer server than Jordon. His service was a masterclass in hospitality. He was informative,patient,charming and intuitive to our every need. We invited some guests whose demands could and have taxed the most accomplished server/host and Jordon handled it like a champ. Go for Jordon and all he brings to your dining experience,and stay for the great food. Thanks Jordon, we will definitely be back......a lot.

The first time was amazing, but this time there were a couple of issues with the food. My Wagyu ribeye was ordered medium-rare but came out rare, and the crème brûlée wasn't cooked properly either.

I'm still giving them 4 stars because the staff were super friendly, attentive, and genuinely tried to make things right. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully the kitchen has addressed the issue with the undercooked meat.

Worst dining/service experience. A server there name Nick took over our table to cover breaks and ultimately became our server the rest of the evening. When he took over he went down the list of items we had ordered, which for a party of 3 adults was 3 beers total and avocado egg-rolls, then when the second round of drinks was ordered he asked who was driving home. I was drinking water only and quickly told him that I was driving. He served the table and some food was also ordered. Two more adults joined our table at that point and they ordered drinks and food. When we asked for that order he mentioned that the cameras were watching us and what we order. A while goes by and we went to order one last round of only 2 drinks and he made a face at us and said ok he was going to place our order. My husband got up to use the restroom and the serve waited for him outside of the restroom and asked him if we had been drinking before we got there. When my husband returned he told us what happened and we flagged him over and asked where our remaining order was because it's been a while and he remained quiet. My husband then asked if he had a problem serving us and he said yes he could no longer serve us because of the amount of food to drinks was not allowing him to and it's a policy to cover himself as a server and for the company. We spoke to the manager and we reviewed that we understand the ratio for drinks to food and what they use as a guideline for serving/safety, but for a server to follow some one and question them away from their table on top of asking us previously about drinks/driver is wildly inappropriate, demeaning, and just disrespectful on all levels. No one in our party was disruptive, confrontational, rude, loud or sloppy. We were having dinner and drinks while we had fun conversations and this interaction really made me uncomfortable and creeped out. Never going to back to this establishment.
