The old building has a nice atmosphere and was the peak experience of my visit here. My dining party was disturbed by the menu listing a $6 upcharge for sharing an entree which I've never seen that before and we don't ever share entrees but it just sounded ridiculous (I have since seen a handful of other restaurants doing this strange practice around this area). So your meal starts out with turnip greens (with pork so I don't eat that), cole slaw and hushpuppies. For our entrees my dining companion (my mom) got a hamburger steak with a sweet potato and I got the grilled salmon with a sweet potato. So... my grilled salmon was the most well done fish I've ever been served and it was literally crunchy on the outside and very dry on the inside which some might say it was burned. I've had more moist and delicious salmon jerkey than what I was served here. The sweet potato was the really good and the best part of my meal. My mom enjoyed her hamburger steak and sweet potato. We both just drank water and the price for our meals came out to $43.68 which included an odd $1.38 service fee before tip. We thought for the rather small serving size of the entrees the price was on the expensive side. Overall I have no plans of returning to this spot as the food was just meh... I did really like the historic building. It totally isn't fair to compare other places to New Orleans but that is my point of reference and I have to say this area is really a food desert compared to The Greater New Orleans area and Acadiana. So much of the food I've tried in these parts is just really bland and to my taste usually dissappointing.

We had our dog in an enclosed stroller, and they allowed us to bring her inside. The waitress was the sweetest and made our visit really enjoyable. She even brought our dog a bowl of water. I ordered the country fried steak, rice, and a side salad with raspberry vinaigrette. The country fried steak was delicious, cooked perfectly, and paired well with the rice. The rice came with brown gravy, which I wasn't informed about. I had wanted white gravy, so I mixed the brown in and added the white on top. After that, I couldn't taste the brown gravy at all. The salad was a generous size, and the dressing was delicious. I thought sitting at a commissary-style table might feel odd, but it was actually fine. I would definitely recommend eating here while visiting downtown Laurel.

There is plenty of parking because this location has a large parking lot out front. The restaurant has a large bar, lots of tvs playing sporting events, and long tables to sit at. It was extremely loud inside to where we had difficulty hearing one another chat at the table. I ordered the special that was on the sign out front - shrimp creole over rice with a side salad. My mother ordered a burger with onion rings. We thought the food was delicious. I thought the portions were plentiful for the price. The salad was very fresh and oh my god the shrimp creole was remarkable. There were games to bring to your table to play while waiting for the food. We enjoyed the tabletop ring toss game. This is definitely a good spot to watch a sporting game and have some drinks.

I ordered sushi, and the menu clearly stated that it came with a choice of soup or salad. When I placed my order over the phone, I specifically requested the salad, but it was not included with my order. On top of that, I was charged for yum yum sauce. While the extra charge itself isn't a huge issue, it was frustrating to be charged for something extra while not receiving an item that was supposed to be included with my meal. As a returning customer, I expected a little more attention to detail and appreciation for customer loyalty. Unfortunately, this experience makes me hesitant to return. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves its customer service.

We ate at Mimmo's two nights in a row while visiting family. The first evening was good -- we had…read morethe lasagna and pizza, and both were enjoyable enough that we decided to return the next night. Unfortunately, the second visit was a very different experience. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was extremely disappointing. The sauce wasn't bright or balanced as you'd expect from a piccata. Instead, it tasted heavy and starchy, almost like thickened chicken broth, with none of the lemony depth or richness the dish should have. It was not enjoyable. It was also my birthday, which made the experience more frustrating. I let our waitress know that the dish wasn't good, but nothing was done to address it. There was no effort to adjust, replace, or even meaningfully respond, which felt dismissive. Additionally, the night before we had been told that gnocchi could be prepared for us the following evening. When we returned, that was no longer the case, and again there didn't seem to be much acknowledgment of the change. The inconsistency between the two nights was surprising. The restaurant is clearly capable of decent food, but the lack of follow-through and service recovery made the second visit disappointing.

Finding Mimmo's in Laurel right now is like searching for lost treasure in a construction zone --…read morethe kind where the street looks like Act I of a tragic opera: "Ode to the Detour." You'll battle cones, dodge machinery, and question your life choices. But when you finally burst through the doors? Bravo! The interior hits you like a grand crescendo -- exposed brick walls, high ceilings, the kind of lighting that makes you feel instantly more attractive. It's pure Tuscan theater. The service deserves a standing ovation -- all charm, smiles, and perfectly timed entrances. But once the food arrived, the orchestra started to lose the rhythm. The garlic rolls, priced at a dramatic $14, made their entrance dripping in butter -- so much butter, in fact, that garlic seems to have drowned somewhere backstage. The rolls glistened like they were auditioning for La Buttera. Soft, rich, and tasty, yes... but garlic? MIA. It's like sending Pavarotti on stage and getting a kazoo solo instead. Then came the pizza, whose crust sang a lovely opening note -- smoky, beautifully charred edges -- but the center was still a little... doughy. A tragic reminder that even great tenors sometimes miss the high note. The lasagna should've been the grand finale -- the full-throated aria of the meal -- but instead, it came out more like the understudy: pleasant, but lacking passion. The meat was flavorful, but the rest felt uncomposed. A little more Parmesan bravado could've saved the day. If Yelp had half stars, I'd give Mimmo's a 3.5, because the atmosphere and service are pure opera -- dramatic, romantic, and memorable. But the food? Still rehearsing. Come for the ambiance, stay for the butter, and hope that next time, the kitchen hits all the right notes. Final act verdict: Mimmo's has the stage presence of a headliner -- now it just needs a little more flavor in its aria.
