If I could give this place zero stars I would. The wife and I have a special place in our heart for this company and how far it has fallen. We originally opened the metrocenter location and meet there as servers, fell in love and have been married for 20 years. When u first walk in, they have a orange sign asking if ypu could pay cash but still accept card, not a good start. Then we literally waited 20 minutes for service to which we got none. We walked out and told the manager our concerns and he frankly could care less and sent us on our way. This place is breaking down, is dingy, tables on their last leg, carpet was horrible and the bathrooms had pee on the floor in multiple places, just an overall dirty place. This place has 6 months tops and they are gone, don't bother going. read more

Since covid this place has gone down hill. I came with my family for a Sunday brunch. There were only 4 of us. A family of 3 walking in behind us and a family of 2 behind them. We were told it will be a little wait while they sat the other 2 parties immediately ahead of us. read more

Our server Jesse was phenomenal! Fast and efficient and very friendly. Hadn't been to this place in a little while but will definitely be back next time I want breakfast! read more

A hidden gem! My partner and I recently had a great experience at Mimi's Cafe. The food came out timely and our server (Taylor) was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Me on Mother's Day - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The last time I ate at a Mimi's cafe was probably somewhere around 1998. Yup, it's been awhile. When I went to visit some good friends in Arizona, I had the pleasure of eating breakfast here. After walking in, I instantly forgot how charming it is with the mini chandelier lights and homey feel. It almost felt like a restaurant you would see in the New Orleans section of Disneyland. Here's what I ordered: Potato Cake Eggs Benedict: Hickory-smoked bacon, spinach, tomatoes, poached eggs and Hollandaise. With fresh-cut fruit-- This was just delicious. Eggs were cooked exactly how I like them- poke them and all the yolk comes dripping out. The potato cake was almost like a hash brown and was seasoned nicely. The bacon, spinach and tomatoes were yummy too. Lemon Poppyseed Muffin: Piping hot and fresh out of the oven, I loved how I could taste the tanginess of the lemon and feel the tiny crunch of poppy seeds as I took a few bites. I think I'll definitely have to go to my own local Mimi's just for the muffins alone. read more

Went here yesterday and ordered the French onion soup that I remembered as being delicious. Well that's clearly a memory of the past. It comes to my table with the most pathetic four tiny slices of a stale baguette...dried out was a great touch ...but it gets worse. They torched to cheese to make it look like it was broiled and it was burnt. You could taste the burnt taste throughout the soup. When I told my waitress, she basically said ok, I'll let them know but didn't remove the grossness from my check. I won't be back. There's no need. Cutting corners on soup is pathetic. Bye Mimi's. read more

I really love Mimi's café. Anyone you go to the Decour is very similar and the food is always consistent. For the fall they have an absolutely delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin. I also like that they have a full coffee bar and make fresh espressos and cappuccinos not just plain drip coffee. They employ a very friendly staff. You are greeted when you come in and the servers are fast and attentive. I definitely recommend Mimi's for a decent meal, at a decent price, and good service read more

Very nice and homey atmosphere, let alone, great food. Wait staff and managers tremendous. Great family restaurant! Highly recommend! read more

Originally I wanted to go to another restaurant but my husband said he's heard great things about Mimi's, so we took a chance unfortunately I can't say it was the best decision. Upon arrival no one was up front so we weren't sure if we should seat ourselves or wait. The server finally appeared and seated us we ordered and although the place looks nice their food is FAAAAAAAR from that. I ordered chicken and waffles. We both did actually with a side of potato's. We had our coffee in the mean time while we waited (coffee was the only my thing that was good). Our ordered arrived and my waffles were burned not only could we smell the food burning in the back but the actual audacity to serve what was burned was baffling. I cut into it and the waffle broke apart instantly. My husband looked at his potatoes they were also burned and very over salted but you could taste the bitterness once something has been burnt no seasoning will save it... I asked the server if she could take it back and explained it was burned she agreed and had a second plate sent. My question is how does a "Great restaurant" fuck up waffles not one but twice. The second plate the waffles were still raw in the middle and the chicken has a weird taste . We didn't bother eating. I asked for the check and the server looked at the plate still full with all the food asked "did you not like it?" I explained what the issue was and although the food was not good the server said ok don't worry about it and took the food luckily we didn't pay for this disaster of a meal so I'll give them 3 stars for customer service. The waitress was nice she wasn't rude at all very professional. read more

Enjoyed Cobb salad that was delicious but for $15 I'd prefer some mixed greens versus iceberg lettuce. Damien was professional and friendly. We enjoyed a sweet bday dessert. Thank you for being so kind to us in a crazy world. Kindness is small & free. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews but in this case I feel compelled to comment on the extremely bad food we had for breakfast last week. The water had a funny smell, the fried potatoes were very spicy, the quiche was in a crust that was soggy, as were the eggs. The place looked very run down and tired. We used to frequent Mimi's in Illinois years ago and always had good food. We were surprised to see that they were still open here. I believe they are all closed in Illinois. We will never go back. $48.75 for a worse than mediocre breakfast . . . never again. read more

My in-laws came here for breakfast, they will not return. All the food items they had were discussing. The potatoes had a bad taste. The cranberry juice was way to watery, it tasted like colored water. read more

I really really want to give this a higher rating however, over the past two years this Mimi's location has had some serious issues in terms of customer, service and food quality. Came for a late lunch today. The host who seated us was also our waiter and we noticed that he was also bussing the tables. I realize it's difficult to find people however, this gentleman was seriously over burdened. we found the food this time to be mediocre at best. Ordered quiche Lorraine, which was basically an egg custard because it had no ham or bacon in it. A table mate ordered the Tuscan chicken with pasta, and the plate was barely warm. Mimi's used to be my go to place for breakfast lunch or dinner. So sad to see this go downhill. read more

Loved our visit to an old standby that took us by surprise. Great food. Great service. KJ did a great job being friendly, guiding our menu choices with humor and insight. Loved the almost non-existent wait time, and did I mention the food was great!? Two thumbs up! read more

The food was bland and not very appealing. We were the first customers of the day and yet they did not have breakfast potatoes. It didn't seem like the vegetables they used in the omelette was fresh and the corn beef hash was not hash at all, it was large chunks of corn beef with onions. The best thing about this place was the location. The service was really good but the food was not. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Mimi's Cafe, & our server, KJ, was excellent. He was very friendly, and service was very quick.

Have eaten at this Mimi's many times over the years. Had breakfast there yesterday with an out of town visiting Great Niece prior to taking her to the airport. Big surprise. Bigger Disappointment. Entire establishment needs a remodel. Drab, dark, run hard and put to bed wet! Wood table tops badly in need of replacing or refinishing. Food: unremarkable and visually unappealing. What ever happened to GARNISH? Throwing marginally edible eggs Benedict on a plate with a side plop of luke warm to cold country potatoes is unacceptable. A simple sprig of parsley would add some presentation appeal but would not add to the quality of what was being served! What Happened, Mimi? Also, whatever happening to buttering toast before it's brought to the table? We asked for the toast to be buttered straight out of the toaster...instead it was brought cold, unbuttered with packaged butter hard as a rock. Mmmmmm? Best part of the experience? Enrique our server. Attentive, knowledgeable and smiling! Will not be back any time soon! read more

I had a great experience at this Mimi's. Our server, Mayra was amazing. She was very kind and did everything she could to make our experience great. The food was great and service was even better. Would return read more

Couldn't be a nicer wait staff and friendlier service. Atmosphere is a great casual place and very relaxed. Service is a 5 Food is 3.5 Atmosphere is a 4 People are super friendly, everyone is working hard, and the menu has something for everyone. Fun place, enjoyed it thoroughly read more

Good three and half stars. Average cooporate style restaurant. Ho hum! Food isn't bad, and really nothing outstanding either. Wasn't busy for Sunday brunch, which is why we came here. The server was very nice and attentive. Looking kind outdated on the inside but that's their theme. Overall an average experience. read more

Ended up at Mimi's after a nice hike again... those darn coupons that are too good to pass on : ) Kendra was our server again and it was overall a good experience. I will start claiming that booth as our 'regular table'. Daughter and I had the surf and turf (with some sort of Greek salad -really good- and corn on the cob), hubby had the NY strip with frites. We also had the spinach/artichoke dip appetizer. Even with the coupon for a free entree it ended up being a hefty bill (send me more!). Also I had filled out the survey for a free birthday crepe/cake and it was really good.... we may even be back : P read more

Special thanks to Steve at this location. He went above & beyond the call of duty last night by allowing me to obtain a box of the delicious Mimi's muffins, for my sick wife, after they had closed for business for the night. Muffins may not be medicine, but, they certainly made her feel better. Many thanks/most appreciated Steve!!!! Kevin 0. read more

KJ was a fantastic waiter. He gave recommendations for the best items on the menu. I took his suggestion and substituted the plain turkey with blackened Cajun chicken and it was delicious! He gave excellent attentive service and was very pleasant. I will certainly be coming back to this Mimis in the very near future! Thank you KJ for your service. read more

We had a wonderful experience at the Desert Ridge Mimi's on Jan. 15, 2024. We needed a convenient rendezvous spot for our friends and family to meet after my father's burial ceremony at the National Cemetery. About a month prior, I contacted the manager, Steven Benham, and asked if they could accommodate our group of around 20 people for brunch on that day. Steven said, "Absolutely we can, and we have a big, private room for your party, and it will be ready for you." I was very grateful for his hospitality, and this was the perfect solution for my family's need that day. No deposit was required, and they were ready for us as promised. Our server, Myra, was fantastic, friendly and efficient, easily and swiftly taking care of our party of 16, all at a huge table for 20. The quality of the food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed the generous portions, as well as the boundless variety of choices available on the menu. I can't thank all of your staff enough for your kindness and for spreading some good cheer upon our family on an otherwise solemn and difficult occasion. read more

It was just after 11 on a Sunday when every other restaurant had a wait with those having brunch, but at Mimi's we walked right in and were seated right away. I will say the service was very attentive and friendly which is why they got 4 stars. The food was just ok. I ordered the ham and Swiss crepe and was really looking forward to it when they came out 5 minutes after taking my order to tell me they had no potatoes. This was not a problem as I didn't even realize the crepes came with a side. They swapped out the potatoes for fresh fruit and I thought we were all set. Five minutes later someone else came out to say they were now out of crepes. I saw other people getting pancakes so I was surprised to hear they no longer had the ingredients to make crepes and I didn't understand why it took so long to figure this out but I moved on and ordered a Turkey club. The sandwich was ok but the fries definitely could have been crisper. My husband enjoyed his salad, although he said he it was nothing special but the warm blueberry muffin was yummy. The service is what made our experience so positive. Our server was friendly and attentive and quick to bring refills which is always appreciated on this heat. read more

The food was absolutely amazing once again. I had great service. We got seated quickly and served with only a short wait. This place is quiet and not busy at all. Its peaceful inside and the decor is very cute. I got peach iced tea and it was great this time and my last. I got a sandwich trio with the tomato soup and a grilled cheese. The soup is thick and creamy and perfect for dipping their AMAZING grilled cheese into. The ranch is wonderful and the fries are really good. My mom got the Tuscan Chicken and enjoyed it. I've never had a bad experience here, the food is always great, as is the service, and I like how chill this little slice of heaven is. I very highly recommend! :)) read more

Thank you for a terrific Thanksgiving Feast. Everything was perfect! Turkey was moist and sides savory.

Excellent product and value. I enjoyed my cobb salad... Really fresh a flavorful ! This is one of our regulars!

Good food, terrible service! We almost never leave a review but the service was so bad we felt obligated. The restaurant wasn't too busy and they seemed to have plenty of employees, but they were always hanging out at the wait station. We ordered omelettes and muffins and were then ignored. No muffins arrived until we asked a THIRD TIME. I gave up on water refills and finally grabbed a pitcher myself. We got our muffins after our meals and the manager offered to discount the bill. We paid in full but will not go back. We weren't looking for a discount... we were looking for a decent service level. read more

The breakfast was excellent and fairly priced. The staff was the best. Will go back for certain.

Pretty good but not great. Like an upscale Dennys. Breakfast may not be a solid basis to judge so this report is limited to breakfast

If you have a sensitive nose, DO NOT go here. It has a very rancid smell when you walk into the lobby and the bathroom. The dining area was not too bad smell wise. The food was mediocre, not bad. Service was relatively slow. read more

Six years ago I was a regular patron of Mimi's, where I could always count on great French Onion soup and a crusty delicious French Dip Sandwich. I should have kept my memories and not returned because the quality of the food is NOT what it used to be. Another great restaurant chain crippled by COVID and unable to get back to where they were, I suppose. As others have noted here, it was VERY understaffed. Although this one man host and waiter was very polite and tried hard to please, the food quality has gone way downhill. The French Dip Sandwich was simply disgusting. Tasted like horsemeat and the bread was totally soft. French Onion Soup was very salty and did not have the cheese melted over the bowl in the classic way. Worse was the Tomato Basil Soup which tasted like I was eating spaghetti sauce outof a jar! quelle dommage! read more

We were in the area and we wanted to try something new so my husband, kids and my self stopped in to Miami's. Everyone was so nice and keep coming back to our table. Our waiter was a bit busy with another bug table do Jesse came to us too help out and he was just so great and friendly. He was talking to the kids as we were waiting for their food to give them a distraction. All of the choices everyone picked came out really nice. Would love to come back. read more

I love bringing my family to this location all the way from Chandler. The drive is worth it due to the incredible staff.
