The food is always consistently a step above a regular cafe or diner! Their malted waffles are the best you've ever tasted! The service is ok to average and the interior flooring, seating, ceiling, etc could use upgrading & updating also the parking to get in and out is twisted and crazy, but overall worth going. read more

I have turned a new leaf ! My husband and I have gone here multiple times and each time was an awful experience. Food was always late & server was always unhelpful. This time the food was right on time and was amazing. The server was prompt, helpful and made sure were were always taken care of. read more

Reasonable prices for entrees with a bit of French flair. Full bar available. Two steps up from a diner, but not quite a restaurant due to the booth seating. Service can be spotty. read more

I wanted to treat my daughter to lunch after shopping. I couldn't wait for a really good French dip. I'm still waiting. No flavor. Arby's was more like it. Won't be back. read more

The food here is phenomenal. We've been twice and everyone has been happy with their meals. Def worth checking out.

My Mom had gone there with friends of hers a few weeks ago. So we were out and she asked if I wanted to go for lunch! It was so good! We got the French onion soup, chicken parmigiana,and she got the bread pudding and I got the molten lava cake! I told the waitress it was my first time and the manager came out and gave us complimentary muffins! I will definitely go back! A plus, the restrooms were so clean! read more

Went to Mimi's for breakfast today and tried the breakfast tacos and they were just delicious! Kudos to the chef, and our server was amazing! They were slammed, he came in extra to help them out today and picked up extra tables and we never waited long for any of our meal! Well done! read more

Tammy was a sweetheart. She will definitely take care of you. She's keen to detail and very hospitable. Best service I've had food was great and the environment was very cozy. Ask for Tammy. read more

Went to charge the Tesla and was excited to see a Mimi's! Walked in put my order in and 40 minutes later still not received. The hostess was great she kept apologizing.. Not her fault. When I cancelled management came out to say sorry and let me know 2 big orders were ahead of me. Problem was the place was pretty empty!! Couldn't not imagine if there was actually people in this place..Very disappointed. read more

Had lunch here the other day. We chose this place because it was close to the Tesla charging station. We got a booth right away as we had missed the lunch crowd I guess. Our waitress was very friendly and quick to serve us. Hubby ordered the Brochette Trio appetizer for his meal and I ordered the cheeseburger on a brioche bun. My cheeseburger was very juicy and had a nice beefy flavor. The red onion was cut a bit too thick for my liking. The cheese was a nice cheddar slice and the brioche bun was tasty and fresh. My salad was a bit limp and dry if you can believe it. It consisted of spring mix, one cherry tomato cut into slices and two slices of cucumber and some croutons. The appetizer consisted of six skewers two of grilled chicken, two of shrimp, and two of ground beef topped with spicy peanut, teriyaki, and a red wine sauce. It was small even for an appetizer. It definitely was not enough food as a meal. The chicken skewers were a bit tough. Would not order that again. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Would like to go back and try something different next time we are in the area. read more

Service was terrible. We We've always come here for the past eight years. Service was beautiful. The waitress was pleasant. The ones that are here now not is it. A smile is a pleasant greeting. The food is not the same. It was our to go place, so sad and disappointed with their services now. read more

Just tried something new pasta with artichokes, tomatoes, and chicken. It was very good. Wanted to try something other than my usual favorites French pot roast or mushroom brie burger. read more

We had triple appetizers of 2 skewers of chicken, spinach dip,& cheese flat bread.it was good but I think it's overpriced! I had the meatloaf with mash potatoes & quinoa. It was delicious, only complaint is there was only 1 slice of meatloaf!my wife had the roast turkey dinner with spinach & stuffing,she loved it ! My son had French onion soup & ham & cheese on sour dough, forgot the name of sandwiche but he liked it a lot ! The desserts were delicious! We had creme brûlée & triple berry tart! Overall we had a nice time & the place is very nice ! Our server was great read more

Used to love this place. TOTAL CULTURE CHANGE. I was so excited to take my fiance to Mimi's. I'd had a couple business lunches here before and always brought her home a muffin or 2. I told her how someone new usually gets a muffin for free, NO MORE. But the bread basket usually has a couple different breads with little samples of the sweet bread or muffins, NO MORE (3 oven-roasted slices of baguette only). But the service is always very nice and attentive, NO MORE (I actually had to grab a manager to ask her to have someone bring me my check). But the food is always solid, NO MORE (the worst croquet monsieur I have ever had, it was basically a soggy sandwich with limp greasy fries). Really truly, I once loved this place and was so excited to share a Sunday brunch/lunch with my fiance here. Now I'll never return. I wouldn't reccomend this place to anyone. After so many good times here the way it has changed feels like a betrayal. read more

Stopped in Mimi's for lunch today and it was palatable. I've had breakfast at a few locations now and still underwhelming to me. Our server, Andrew, was pleasant and attentive. I ordered the Pick 3 Mix & Match, enjoying the French Onion Soup, Black & Blue Salad and Fresh fruit. The salad was good, but a tad overdressed and the fruit cup was fresh. The French Onion was the star of the plate. It was packed with savory, delicious onions swimming in the piquant broth and a very cheesy, well seasoned, crunchy crouton baked on top. Maybe next time I'll stop in for Supper and give it a go. read more

At one time, It was a great place to stop. It was you were greeted right away, wait staff were attentive and the bathroom was spotless and stocked. Cannot say that was the case today. Had to wave my arms to get the waiter's attention. Ladies room stall had zero toilet paper. So disappointed since this place was great at one tiMe. They were not busy since we stopped at 2pm read more

Very nice restaurant. We love going every time we go always a great experience. Food is always on point. Always a pleasant greeting. And service is with a smile. read more

Never disappointed with anything we have ever had to eat there. On your birthday they give the table a whole cake. Try their muffins read more

Great French onion soup,Great waitress,Fair prices. Great wait for food. Who could ask for more.

Citrus salmon lunch item was DELICIOUS! Kelly the server was the best! Great lunch. Love this place. Thank you

Mimi's Chopped Cobb Salad with Balsamic was fantastic! Delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

I have been to this restaurant several times. The food is reliably good. The quality of the ingredients is very good. Many of the dishes are basic and executed with care. I had a menu standard turkey plate. The potatoes au gratin were flavorful and actually cut and layered properly. The stuffing was moist and flavorful. The turkey was moist and the gravy didn't taste like it came from a packet. The vegetables were a little more cooked than I normally prefer. The place markets itself as a bakery. The bread and desserts were wonderful. read more

Served spoiled broccoli and celery on my veggie app. The broccoli was so bad everyone at my table could smell it. How can a restaurant employ people who thinks this is ok? This didn't just slip out of the kitchen. Management staff thanked me for bringing to their attention. Really? Do you ever stroll through YOUR kitchen and inspect what you are serving? I will never return! read more

Such a nice family breakfast place! All the staff was so welcoming and accommodating! We arrived drowsy and tired from camping and wanting delicious food and great A/C (both wishes granted) I asked for an iced latte and it was wonderfully refreshing but not watered down! It was borderline creamy and with a few (or 4) sugar packets added, it was consumed throughout my entire meal! I regret not ordering another for the road! My main dish was the bacon and egg sandwich with a afew modifications! Instead of bacon, I asked for sausage and instead of scrambled eggs, I asked for sunny side up. The sandwich was good, 8/10! Just needed a little more seasoning of each individual component and it would have been a 10/10! Pictured are the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and the Pain Perdu with mixed berries! Can't vouch for the Benny since I myself did not try but I had a bite of the Pain Perdu and it was DELICIOUS! Light but fruity and sweet but not too much! Couple it with a nice coffee and yum! Both other meals were eaten completely! And our server was so nice and sweet! I regret not remembering her name but her purple glasses matched her purple pen and she was serving our table directly left of the entrance, the booth by the window! Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will be back soon! read more

Very disappointed. The menu selection looks great but my meal was not. My eggs and sausage were undercooked and the prices, on the high side. I paid nearly $50 for breakfast for 2 people. I don't think I'll be back. read more

This spot has the best mimosas. I tried all 4 and the white peach was my favorite. The food was amazing and our waiter was super nice. Definitely coming back. read more

Stopped by for lunch today and Becky had the mushroom & brie burger with fries. Absolutely delicious! Dave loves the fact that they serve breakfast all day! read more

I used to love going to this place for breakfast and lunch , but lately their food has been terrible to say the least. i think they need to take a good look at the kitchen and menu. My wife orders a Crep for a light breakfast and on top of that crep is a Block of swiss cheese. safe to say We will be going to other restaurants like first watch for our breakfast or lunch. read more

VIDEO of breakfast at Mimi's: http://goo.gl/flxv This morning I went to Mimi's Cafe for the first time for breakfast. Very warm and appealing atmosphere. I ordered the Monterey Omelet (bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and avocado), which came with home fried potatoes, a fresh muffin and juice. The omelet was delicious (I hear breakfasts are always exceptional at Mimi's). Coffee was extra. The coffee was actually the worst coffee I've ever tasted and evidently I wasn't the first person to say that. I believe they were trying a new brand? The charge for the coffee was removed from my bill. Mimi's has a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, and serves liquor to boot. Service was fast and pleasant. Will be back for lunch or dinner! Here's a link to their website: http://www.mimiscafe.com/ read more

Came to Mimi's after trying another restaurant and it being packed. I'm happy I did because I had a decent dinner at a decent price! There was plenty of parking out front. It was not busy at all for a Saturday at 7pm and we were seated right away. They gave us a basket of bread and I ordered the NY strip steak with green beans and their spinach. The veggies were good and the steak cooked exactly how I liked it. We got her food quickly and left within the time the other restaurant said it would take to even be seated. read more

Decent spot for a family meal close to where the parental units live. We came here the other week for breakfast when I was visiting. More than enough on the menu to keep everyone happy. Fun decor with a New Orleans theme. I liked sitting in the "jazz room" over the other dining area that was more subdued. The place is has a comfortable vibe, clean, with decent service. Bar area up front by the lobby / waiting area. Outside patio seating too. Breakfast menu consisted of your standard omelets, crepes, quiche, pancakes, muffins, french toast, juice, coffee, and assorted bakery items. Reminds me of a chain restaurant menu or glorified diner. I had the Pumpkin Spiced Pancake Breakfast - pumpkin spiced pancakes topped with caramel cinnamon apples. Came with two eggs and choice of meat (bacon, of course), and juice. All for $8.99 so it's a really good deal. Tasted ok overall and the pancakes were really good. Still, it's like a Denny's kind of meal, which was fine by me as it was cheap too. Nothing great, nothing bad, just A-OK for a bite. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Corned beef hash benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Not my first time here! Mimi's is pretty popular in Ocala as a go to breakfast and lunch spot. It can get pretty crowded with lots of regulars dining frequently. I've never had a bad experience here but it's not my first choice. I brought my family here after my sister's graduation for brunch. Most ordered the chicken and waffles but I ordered the french toast. We all sampled the pineapple upside down muffin and let me just tell you, it's worth EVERY calorie!! It doesn't even taste like a muffin. It's served warm and tastes like the most perfect piece of pound cake you've ever had. Sheesh. My sister had to stop me from ordering more because I was super tempted to. My breakfast was solid, nothing spectacular. The other members of my party who got the chicken and waffles said the consistent of each did not pair well together like traditional chicken and waffles. Our service was great and efficient. Nothing more to say other than get those pineapple upside down muffins before they go away!! read more

We were really concerned when we walked in at 6:30 p.m., on a weekday and there was only one other table occupied! There wasn't even a soul at the bar!! Our meals made us glad we didn't turn and run, and by the time we left there were more folks coming in and it was starting to fill. The French Pot Roast was outstanding as was the daughter's roasted chicken and the wife's "Thanksgiving" turkey meal. The portion size was big enough that they didn't finish. The pre-meal bread basket was so-so. Our server is what dropped this rating one star. Initially very attentive, he became overwhelmed when he had us and two other tables to wait on. It didn't seem like any of us were overly demanding, but he was distracted enough that we waited nearly 15 minutes before he realized we hadn't left.....due to him not bringing back my credit card and bill for me to sign. read more

Went for first time years ago got terrible service but food was good so gave a second chance (who knows maybe male server had bad day then) but same crappy service today with 4 people ordering normal entrees but they forgot two orders of sides and waitress Lisa was kinda friendly but seemed a little overwhelmed and took forever to bring anything. Not like it was packed for lunch no wait time until at the table. Lunch for 4 took 2 hours and I don't plan on going back for a third strike! Chaulk it up to bad management! Good food but service needs much improvement! read more

On Sundays after church four of us try various restaurants. This Sunday we stopped at Mimi's Café. We were immediately seated in a large, comfy booth. Our server Tammy was attentive and efficient. Our friends Glen & Linda said they were satisfied with their meals. I had Corn Beef Hash Benedict that was very good. Tom opted for lunch...he ordered a mushroom/brie/burger...he was disappointed because there was so little brie on his burger that he thought they forgot to put it on. Also...the bread didn't hold up well. Tom said "It certainly wasn't worth $12" ($11.99) It certainly didn't look like the picture on the menu. read more

Nice place to eat casual brunch in Ocala if you in the Heathbrook shopping area. Been here many times it has a nice atmosphere and the food is very consistent. It's not completely American traditional and not completely french but a nice blend of the two. And on a nice day you can sit side outside too. read more

Started with a nice hazelnut cappuccino which arrived almost as instantly as I ordered it and tasted delicious! Moved on the the appetizer trio and received the entree right when I finished the appetizer but I guess the hostess (or the server) forgot to give us the silverware. Either way, service was quick, server was extremely friendly, and the place wasn't busy even during peak time. I had the grilled salmon which was quite dry and the green beans were underdone but the au gratin was one of the best I have had (recommended by the server). My friend had the French quarter burger which was flavorful and the most well-seasoned option between our orders. For dessert the crème brûlée is a MUST HAVE And the chocolate lava cake was divine. read more
