The waitress was extremely rude from beginning to end. It seemed like she had a bad day or just didn't like our presence. When we had to return our chicken wings because they were still raw, she just stared at the wings like she didn't agree with us. Never an apology. We left and never will return to this place again. read more

I have not eaten here in awhile so I was pleasantly surprised that my women's group was meeting here. There was 23 ladies in our group so we were in the back room. We had one waiter and she was wonderful but she was not wearing a name badge so I could not list her name here. She was fast and efficient and this restaurant is lucky to have her. She did everything herself except cook the food. I was amazed. And kudos to the cooks who got the food out in a timely manner. The only reason I am giving this cafe 3 stars is because the food was not that great. My eggs were over-cooked, I got the wrong muffin but that was okay except it was totally dry. I love getting muffins when I come here and that was the main reason I decided I was going back again. I do understand the bran and carrot look a lot alike but mine was also much smaller than the other one's that were served. Mine barely was above the paper cup while others in my group got really big muffins. I looked around and saw some nice plates come out like the crepes, I think I will be back for those. I was surprised the small meal I got was running the same price as the fancy meals and there was no comparison. Also, I did not like the taste of the coffee as it had a burnt taste so I switched to decaf but it was not any better. I'll be back and try another day. But over-all I was very impressed with the good service well worth the 25% tip. It seemed most in our group were pleased so next time I get a meal dry and over-cooked, I will send it back. read more

First time - enjoyed what we ordered but we both had difference of opinions on choices we made. Wait staff David recommended White Peach Mimosa - very good ! so I decided to try the flight and believe White Peach is the best! We also tried their $28-3 course menu- corn chowder ok, Pot Roast I thought a bit sweet - ok. Lave cake ok - really did like their tart Key lime cheesecake. ' I felt like some menu items similar to Chili's but many more options. Will come back and try again z David provided good service ! read more

I come here almost every Sunday, and sometimes we even come here twice a week! I enjoy having their avocado omelet. Today, I tried the avocado toast! I love Maria and Miguel, they are some of the best waiting people around! I love this place! read more

Mimi's Cafe - Outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came in yesterday around 2:30ish I believe and we got seated pretty quickly and also got a cup of water and soda pretty quickly as well. Me and my husband have never been to a Mimi's before so this day was our first . Let me tell you it took what felt like forever to get our food, we where getting a little impatient but we started to notice our waiter bouncing back and forth to each side of the restaurant.plus we notice that the hostess was helping as well. A few people did walk out and where not happy and I understand why it was a really long wait . But as we finally got our food our waiter thanked us for being patient and staying and not leaving. He explained the reason they where taking so long is because he was the only waiter on shift and 2 other waiters called out. The food was ok nothing crazy but the only reason I am giving this place a 5 star is because of the staff that day especially our waiter. He handled his situation well . We will definitely be back after that . read more

Really like Mimi's - Had exact same meal 4 months earlier. Very disappointed in my meal today. Meatloaf was dry, tasted like it was 3 days old. Au Gratin potatoes as well were dry. Little to no garlic in the Garlic spinach. Likely won't return. Shame, this used to be a very consistent and quality eating establishment. read more

Great brunch today to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We were told half an hour wait but it was only actually about 15. Plenty of seating to wait. Service great from hostess to wait staff. Orders and food were timely and came hot all about the same time. I got my favorite eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. $5 mimosas on the weekend was great addition to my meal. Everyone was happy and full, no complaints! read more

Breakfast was bland and everything was dry and overcooked. I'll never go back here for anything anytime. Don't recommend.

Our family comes to Mimi's almost every weekend. Not only because they accommodate large groups well, but there is something for everyone, and the staff is always spectacular, kind, and makes you feel at home. They truly have almost everything you could want to eat. They're special for their muffins. The honey bran is my fav! The perfect sweetness. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Honey bran muffin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Went here on a Saturday afternoon although the dining room was full we were still seated very quickly the wait was only about 2 minutes, showed up as they were transferring from between breakfast and lunch so the entire menu wasn't available. My friend ordered bacon and egss and ordered a side of sauage. It looked delicious and they give you a lot of food. I ordered the half chicken with spinach and broccoli, the spinach was the star of this dish very tasty sautéed with garlic and well seasoned I felt myself wanting more. The broccoli was good as well the chicken was moist and the skin crispy unfortunately it could use a bit more seasoning as I felt it was a bit bland but nothing that a little salt and pepper couldn't fix. Overall the service is good and speedy and the food is good enough to warrant another try, the smoked salmon benedict caught my eye and I'll try that on my next visit. read more

Dang! I see a lot of bad reviews for Mimi's and that's makes me sad because they have really good food! I've eaten them consistently for so many years now! Another thing I love about Mimi's is they add to their menu each season! they'll have limited edition seasonal meals they have seasonal ingredients only and are really good! I LOVE Mimi's with all my heart! But I do have to say that they don't always get it right, they're not perfectly flawless but if you go in person and tell them your complaint they'll do you right! either a refund or fix the issue if they can and I love that customer service from them! All in all Mimi's has always done right by me and they hardly ever let me down with their food! And that's because I ordered them delivery and couldn't get their good customer service to fix my problem. But I believe if you go to a restaurant and order a meal, hate it, don't say anything, suffer through the entire meal, pay, leave, and then write an angry review afterwards I strongly believe something is wrong with you as human being that is at a far more core and fundamental level. In conclusion, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, nice old style decor, great costumer service, and almost ALWAYS incredibly delicious food! And I love eating both their breakfast, and lunch/dinner menus! I don't often write reviews but seeing as how One of my favorite places is getting trashed to the point of 3.5 stars I felt obligated to speak up in its defense. So thank you readers, thank you Mimi's, qnd if I have one complaint bring back the dang chicken, veggies, and mashed potatoes meal! It was stupid delicious and a personal dinner favorite when I felt I needed more vegetables in my life but wanted them to be tasty! Sincerely, Shane .J read more

First and foremost, our server was amazing :) I'm sorry I forgot her name, but she was super nice and helpful and very pleasant. She told my kid a joke at the end of the meal and we laughed harder than my kid! Love the feel of the place, chickens an pig statues : ) restroom was clean and stocked, and loved the doors. Definitely a great place to bring the kids, family friendly and the servers were very nice. read more

Besides Two Chicks, Mimi's Cafe is the place for breakfast parties. They have a whole list of items on their menu and at the first time, you might feel lost. But, all of those are very delicious, guaranteed. They are super fast - I do not know how, but food will be on your table within 15-20 min after the order. They have lunch and dinner options. However, I feel like going to this restaurant during breakfast. read more

We loved this Mimi's Cafe location! We had a limited time for breakfast before going to the convention center for a tournament. Our server, Wallace, was ALL-STAR AMAZING! He was so courteous and patient with our larger party, and he somehow anticipated our needs even before we had to ask for stuff. Our food came out quickly, hot and delicious. And when we asked for our coffee to be a bit stronger, he was able to provide! Thank you Wallace! Our experience was so wonderful that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since coming home 3 days ago. Can't wait for another trip to Reno so we can go back to Mimi's Cafe! read more

Slow start to a great night. Server was very good!! Food was plentiful, hot and delicious. Will definitely recommend thius restaurant to my ladies groups. read more

This review is in regards to their catering service. I ordered on Wednesday a 20 person tray of French pot roast for a gathering I had on Sunday. It was a super easy process ordering in their website. I called the morning of to confirm my order would be ready on time and the guy who answered knew exactly what my order was. He confirmed my pick up window and mentioned my order was already discussed with their chef in their morning meeting. I appreciated the reassurance. When I picked up, Amir, the restaurant manager, came out and helped pack up my order. He already had a bag of dining and serving utensils, and plates ready to go. He placed our tray in an easy to carry bag which also came with a tray of freshly cut baguettes. (We have ordered this same exact tray one time before, which my husband picked up, and was not given the bread and utensils) It was definitely a much better experience this time around. Our group really enjoyed the food. It was served hot, on a bed of mashed potatoes. The beef was very tender and the sauce had lots of flavor! We will happily order from their catering menu again. Easy and wonderful service! read more

Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. So I did and they did not disappoint one bit! The wait was not bad at all. We waited probably around 5 minutes before we got seated. On the way to our seat, couldn't help but admire the New Orleans decorations and vibe this part of the restaurant had. Love it! As we sat down, couldn't resist ordering a very refreshing Mimosa with my Eggs Benedict. Which I say was very scrumptious and tasty! Enjoyed it very much till the very last bite! Also had the pleasure of trying out their Cinnamon Roll French Toast. One word, delicious!! I can not wait to go back and eat at Mimi's Cafe again! It was beyond everything i expected and more! Great service, amazing food and culture. Thank you. read more

I love Mimi's Café. They are super attentive to my allergies. Anytime I visit this restaurant. They always carefully ask me what I need and make sure when they deliver my food that it has the appropriate care that it needs. The food is always amazing. I don't know if you can actually go wrong here. The breakfast is my favorite part ever I love that. They haven't changed the interior at all. The design in the ambience of the entire place is awesome. The price point is also pretty good for most of my allergy foods which is something I appreciate a lot. read more

Worst service ever!!!! The server was so rude from the getgo so I moved to another section and requested the manager twice! And he never bothered to to go see me!! I received an email from another person apologizing for the experience and when I emailed back to explaining what happened, never heard from them again!! They don't take complaints seriously! That's very shameful!!!! read more

Visited this restaurant on a busy weekend so the wait time was 20 minutes. They called our table a little before 20 minutes while a lot of people were beginning to leave around 11 am. We realized that at 11 is when the lunch menu begins. It seems to me like more of a breakfast restaurant environment feel. Our server was attentive and asked for our drinks as soon as we sat down. The menu was quite large with breakfast and lunch options available. Ordered an omelette with a blueberry muffin. The muffins are said to be baked fresh daily and served with a small side of whipped butter. Our food took a while to be brought out and they forgot the avocado add on to two of the dishes. The portions I thought were quite small, especially the side of potatoes. The blueberry muffin with side of butter was the best part of the dining experience. The muffins come out warm from the kitchen. I probably will not come back for some breakfast here again as the service needs to get better and the food was okay. read more

We don't frequent chains a lot but Mimi 's is one of my favorite ones. Love the French theme from the decor to menu selections, the interior is French country and menu has a French influence with crepes, quiches and my favorite-French onion soup. I had a bowl of the French onion and my husband had the tomato basil. Be sure to ask for the basket of bread to accompany-so good! My husband also ordered the seasonal chicken crepes-full of roasted chicken, mushrooms, fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes and topped with a delicious Mornay sauce. Everything was really good. The triple berry mimosa I had was delicious and service was great! I love their muffins here and bought 2 buttermilk spice ones for later. read more

One of my favorite go to's for breakfast, all their food is good quality & would recommend them, the only thing I don't like is the expensive up charge to just add onions & green peppers to hash browns, I think it's $2.50-$3.00 add on! read more

This is a chain restaurant with a local hometown feel. I was invited for lunch and was going to order from the breakfast or lunch menu. A few people around me had the soup and salad combination which looked flavorful with ample servings. I have the grilled citrus salmon and strawberry spinach salad. The salmon was grilled perfectly! The salad was ample and very flavorful. The dinner menu was varied and tee we also ably priced. I will plan on making another trip to Mimi's! read more

Years ago this was a favorite weekend breakfast spot for the family. Can't remember why we stopped coming? I remember loving the bread basket. Anyway, I stopped by today for lunch, and had the nicest server Becky. I ordered the mimosa trio..yum yum, they are all my favorite flavors! And the chicken sandwich with fries. Becky was nice to suggest ranch for the fries. Portion was good m, and price was good as well. read more

I honestly pleasantly really like Mimi's cafe for the few times I have been here. Although, I probably prefer coming here for breakfast foods more than their lunch or dinner service , but still worth stopping by if you have not yet. First off, I just want to say it is worth checking for coupons for Mimi's Cafe because they have a buy one get one free entree coupon that they often give out in your email. You do have to order two drinks to use the coupon but again still worth it because your check usually ends up being around $25. When I came for breakfast , it was pretty early so not a lot of people were at the restaurant and we were able to get seated right away. For breakfast, I really love getting eggs Benedict and was surprised to find out they have a Corned Beef Benedict. Which worked out in my favor because I was honestly craving both type of breakfasts. I will have to say, their breakfast potatoes were amazingly delicious. I ended up eating all of mine and all of my mom's because it was that good. The Corned Beef Benedict was really good also and def an order again dish whenever I come back for breakfast. Lunch on the other hand I would say is not my favorite, but maybe I do need to explore more of their menu to see what dishes I like. I ended up getting their "French" version of jambalaya with rice, but to be honest was not that pleased as the chicken in the dish was a little burnt and hard to eat and I just felt like I was eating tomato based sauce with a lot of celery and rice. I want to say I enjoyed my Cafe Latte with the vanilla flavoring more than I did my own dish. BUT again, I still really like Mimi's despite of my experience with my lunch. I recommend Mimi's if you guys have never been or want to go somewhere that is different from iHOP , Pegs, or Squeeze In for breakfast. I also recommend trying one of their coffee's if you can , you won't be disappointed if you are a coffee fan! Overall, I told my fiancé I would have to bring him because of how much I liked this place and I am telling you all that you should go as well! read more

Looks like it's been a couple of years since I've updated my review of Mimi's. Sunday's dinner visit was a comedy of errors. I had received an email from the Mimi's chain that noted on Sunday's you can get "AYCE" crepes for $9.99. I had my heart set on crepes and that was the only reason for visiting Mimi's on Sunday. Too bad, so sad, that offering was over for the holidays. Boo hoo for me, now what do I do? We had ordered appetizers which our server forgot to note so no appetizers. I ordered chicken and waffles to figure out what all the hype was on this uncommon pairing. What I got was chicken nuggets and waffles and to me, it was not an appetizing dish. I'm giving Mimi's 3 stars because the grilled cheese that my son ordered looked pretty good, and the server did give us a box of muffins because she forgot our appetizer order. Mimi's does have a good breakfast. Chalking it up to the stars and moon not being aligned this particular time read more

The food and the service was exceptionally good; the booths are a little snug though, especially for our five-person party. The price tag was pretty reasonable and even though the restaurant was short staffed, the wait was only ten minutes.

Let's start by saying our server Nicki and the cooks killed it and were amazing! This review is for the piss poor management that understaffed the place tonight. Veterans Day was a great turn out here and feel without any staff to help, who were there did the best they could. Seriously, the managers need to figure out how to read a calendar and figure out how to schedule better. A bunch of folks were getting very upset, and told Nicki we were ok and understood her situation. Before going here make sure you have the time, and remember not to take it out on staff. Food was amazing, and would eat there again for sure. Management, get it together. read more

First time stopping by MiMi's Cafe and all went well. I went for brunch with a friend and we had a blast. We had a short wait time to be seated which was great because I hate waiting. The lobby area is very nice. The restaurant was kinda busy but our server took very good care of us and moved with a sense of urgency once we were seated at our table. The mimosa's are $5-$6 bucks which was great for me as I love a good mimosa deal. The food was tasty and filling. Y'all the blueberry muffin, needs an award all by itself. Overall, my visit to Mimi's Cafe was great! Will be returning to try other items. read more

Took my grandson this morning for breakfast before my eye appointment. The waitress we had was wonderful. She was so nice and great customer service. I asked about egg type and she did not seem annoyed and even said she understood and offered a suggestion. I hate getting eggs over easy and the white still not cooked. The eggs were perfect. Wished bacon was crispier than it was but was still good. Grandsons pancakes didn't come with bacon so he said to me. Nani. You have 4 pieces of bacon, i asked him if he wanted one. Yes, he a did. He had 3 pieces. read more

I don't know what I expected but when I walked in I was expecting it to be more full for all the cars outside. After waiting maybe 3 minutes we were sat which I feel is great time. Then we weren't greeted for about 10 minutes and all in all it was about 40 minutes between when we sat down and when we got our food. Once we got the food honestly it was disappointing. I thought it would be amazing because I've had Mimi's catered at my job before. However if I hadn't added on peppers and onions to my meal it would have been bland and unimpressive. The pancake we had in exchange for toast tasted off. I wish I could describe it better but it just didn't taste right like something had gone bad almost. The crepes were good. Which brings me to concludes that only baked goods, quiche, and crepes are good. I wouldn't know if I liked anything else because honestly I don't plan on going back. read more

1) older clientele so maybe uncomfortable for younger crowds. 2) shared parking lot so be aware of the poor drivers 3) fast service, and decent portions. 4) priced higher then your average dive diner. Guess what? This is NOT a dive diner. 5) their website does NOT show prices. What's up with that? 6) was there for lunch and noise level was slightly above average 7) table or bar service. Looked like they had a full bar too. Got their half sandwich and cup of onion soup. It was decent. I miss a properly made onion soup. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Often forget how good the food is at Mimi's. Started with the artichoke spinach dip: smokin hot, cheesy good. Ordered the Croque Monsieur, which is smoked ham, swiss cheese served warm on toasted sourdough topped with mornay sauce and melted parmesan cheese! I never order ham sandwiches, and yet, I have no regrets in ordering this one; it is amazing! Also ordered a cup of french onion soup,to dip the sandwich in the broth here and there only made it better. My wife ordered the Rustic Chicken Pasta and it was legit. Grilled chicken covered with garlic, mushrooms and a sauce; with a side of pasta, hot bread, so good (I snuck a taste). I noticed they had a breakfast menu which featured a salmon omelette, which I forgot about. Affordable, not crowded, good service, great food. read more

I have become fond of Mimi's. I have to admit that I was not a huge fan when they opened. The decor and atmosphere is quaint and cozy. The food is consistently good. There are several new menu items that look great. Warning: there are some old favorites that are gone. (Chicken Pot Pie and Tuna Melt for example) The service is on point. The prices are just okay. Beverages are $3.29 each. I get the marketing strategy, but is is disgusting to spend more for a mediocre cup of coffee than Starbucks charges. Water please. read more
