Brother was underwhelmed by his Cuban sandwich, sister-in-law thought the texture of the shrimp in the bisque was a bit squishy, though she liked the flavor. My problem is with bragging about your house burger grind but not allowing it to be cooked less than medium-well. It's like putting a governor on a Ferrari. Slightly harried service because they were busy but she was a trooper.

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.

It has extremely high ceilings and so spacious. There is even a fountain right in the center. We sat in a very large booth. I had a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc to start. Let's get to the food. We split a large caesar salad and a supreme pizza. The salad was well dressed with scrumptious croutons. I wish we had more. The pizza had plenty of toppings and they were able to accommodate by only putting olives on half of the pizza. The crust had a good crispiness to it and tasted fresh. We ate the whole thing. To finish off the meal, we got 2 cannolis. While the cream was good, the shell could have had more crunch. Almost as if the cannoli was piped ahead of time and not right before serving. Overall we had a great meal here.

Evidently there was a cover charge to go in and see a band that was playing in the back. I have run bars, music venues for many years part of venturing onto my other occupation. Let me just throw my two cents out there... First off we were too young ladies trying to get a night cat before hitting the bed. It's not like there's a lot going on in Laurel Mississippi at 9:30 at night on a Saturday night. We went in and saw where the band was gonna be playing in a really nice outdoor seating area . The band had not started playing yet. We were just going to go take a quick look. Honestly, I'll be really wanted was a nightcap. Had I been running this facility? I would have put the covered charge desk at the other end of the bar where the exit to go to the outdoor seating area was. I think they're losing a lot of business from people who really don't have time or care to see the band. It makes sense to me. They have a great little bar that's not being utilized unless you're going to the outdoor seating area to watch the band. May want to rethink this O

I had also ordered tea with lemon and when I glanced at my receipt I noticed it listed "extra lemon" with a price of almost $2.00 plus an added thin dill spear which I did not order at a cost of almost $2.00. The food was good but if I go back I'll have to remember to specify no dill spear or lemon and pocket the almost $4.00 rip off additional items.

We were in town for a little day getaway and had our dog with us so we decided to have lunch at…read moreBird Dog Café because they have outdoor seating. There was some kind of street fair going on, so we parked in the back and walked in from the back door. It was a little confusing, but we four a very sweet server who showed us where to sit. I think her name was Lincoln and she was very sweet. The outdoor area was a little messy, but no big deal. The food was okay. I had a French burger that was a little flat tasting. My husband had the French dip. Again, it was just okay. Cocktails were pretty good. Based on that alone I probably wouldn't go back, but we were limited on choices due to having our dog with us. Here's where it took a turn. We went to our car and there was a very nasty note telling us, "The next time you park here you will be towed." It directed us to go inside to get someone to move their car which was blocking us in. We didn't see any other parking lot and there weren't any no parking signs. I went inside and found our waitress who gave the note to a woman sitting at the bar with papers spread out in front of her. I assume she was the manager or owner. She didn't say a word and sent the waitress to move her car. All of the sudden our sweet server wasn't so sweet. Come to find out, the parking lot entrance was on the side where the street fair was and we couldn't see it. I think that is a pretty nasty way to treat customers. I don't recommend this place at all.

I immediately went to my manager to let her know and she bursted out in LAUGHTER saying "this happens all the time matter of fact there's been maggots, roaches, snakes, fruit flies, and etc. in this kitchen." She did absolutely nothing about it except remove them from the machine. To me this was a slap in the face cause I had family and friends coming to this EXPENSIVE restaurant to eat and drink. It's also policy that employees were completely prohibited from bringing outside food so if we wanted to eat we were MADE to buy food from there unless you snuck your own food in. People are also blowing vape and weed pen smoke all over your food because they didn't care. I used to be made fun of by employees for changing out the table cleaning solution frequently because "it's not that big of a deal no one cares." Also if you know someone that works at Applebees and yall are enemies THEY WILL MESS WITH YOUR FOOD. A group of employees laughed and gossiped about how someone they didn't like came in so they told the cooks to over season their food and spit in it. It's been months since I've quit and driving by seeing a full parking lot of people eating contaminated food makes me sick. I'm not trying to cause drama or make them go out of business but I am not going to allow my friends and family to spend over $60 on a nasty meal.

I was at least expecting the boneless wings so the kids wouldn't have to starve until their meals came. They ordered pizza and a burger. When the food finally came. The lettuce was wilted and severely bruised. Can I not get fresh lettuce for a salad? The pizza had lots of cheese on one side. And hardly any on the other. The server was nice but inattentive. I had to flag her down for straws, get my own napkins, and ask for a spoon for the side of applesauce. This was on a Wednesday around 2:30 pm. There were only 3 tables in the section. This wasn't a good experience, and I won't waste money with them again.
