I usually really like Mimi's Cafe and have eaten in several of them in different areas but this one is exceptionally bad and has been the last couple of times we went in there. We only went this time because I had a coupon for buy one meal get one free meal with the catch of ordering 2 beverages. We were in about 8:30pm on a Friday night and it looked like they had just been hit by a blizzard, dirty tables everywhere the servers apologizing for the kitchen being backed up and people in the bar very upset by the service being super slow and no bartender to be found. We sat down pretty quick but waited over 45 minutes for 2 salads which had way too much dressing on them and old lettuce and 2 soups which were super slow to come out. Everyone seated around us had the same experience. That was the last time we will be going there. If you are in the area, go to Applebee's next door or keep driving not worth the stop.

Predictable menu. Good food most the time. Breakfast is best meal served.

Got served late Saturday night (after 8:00). Food took long and was bland at best. Ordered cole slaw with meal and it tasted like warm sauerkraut. No one at the table enjoyed their meal. Paid over $60.00 for 4 meals much better served at a Denny's. Got to look at dirty plates stacked up at most other empty tables as we ate. Never again.

I thought chain restaurants were pretty consistent in quality. Not sure if this was the exception or the rule for the Mimi chain. The young staff was enthusiastic and helpful. But there are quality questions in the product they serve. The green salad I was served had an overly salty balsamic dressing with the added bonus of a 5 inch long black hair. The chicken breast was rubbery and impossible to cut even with the large steak knife they provided. The piece I did manage to tear off and spit out was gristle. The chocolate dessert was so sweet it hurt. The one good thing was the bread basket. But, still can’t understand the concept of providing carrot cake or date nut cake to go with salad or soup instead of a nice crusty French bread. Some of the food issues are corporate formulas. But the kitchen staff’s lack of quality control made it much worse.
