Mimi’s Drive Inn

Stopped here on our way through Fulton. Great breakfast! My dad loves soup so ordered their soup of the day on the side, which was cream of chicken… its was one of the best we’ve ever had! The service was also good. Our waitress, Ann, was super nice and very good. Definitely will stop again on our next time through.

We are from Washington State and we eat here sometimes while visiting relatives. The food is always very good and the prices very reasonable. I decided to write a review today because of the amazing service. Our waitress, Kelli, was super sweet from the beginning, but about ten minutes into breakfast, my six-​year-​old send my Diet Pepsi sailing onto the floor. Kelli saw how embarrassed she was, and immediately began consoling her. She even let my daughter go with her to get a new drink for me. The young man who cleaned up was all smiles and graciousness, as well. About five minutes later, my little girl did the exact same thing again! She was so embarrassed that she was crying, but again Kelli and the same man cleaned up and said all the right things… I can’t tell you how much we appreciated this!

Very good local diner. I had plain breakfast, including eggs, bacon, sausage patties, a bagel and cream cheese, etc. all was prepared well. There was a short wait but not bad. It was worth the wait. My table of 4 all ordered various items and not one person was disappointed. My only regret was that I didn’t same room for one of their homemade desserts. They looked delicious!!!
Service was courteous and very prompt. They kept my coffee cup hot and full, one of my pet peeves.
All in all. Very pleasant dining experience. I would recommend it to anyone. You just don’t find old-​fashioned diners like this very often anymore.
Finally, my only negative would be a little broader selection of choices for breakfast.

Standard diner fare, decent breakfast options and always pretty packed. This place is visited by locals and is set far enough away from Oswego State that you don’t really get an influx of college kids. There is often a wait especially if you have a large party, but the servers mean business and tend to flip tables pretty quickly. The waitresses don’t take time to catch up and see how your day is going, they want to know what you want to eat so they can ring it in and move on to the next table. Their coffee is good. Typical breakfast options, build your own omelette, come with big portion of home fries and toast. Their pancakes are big and fluffy. The best thing about this place is that it is dirt freakin cheap. Seriously, pancakes are around $ 3 unless you want bacon then it’s around $ 5, eggs with bacon and toast is about $ 4, bagel with cream cheese is $ 1.50, I mean these prices are unbeatable really. They have a bunch of sandwich options for under $ 5 and they also offer a kids menu. Take out available too.

Yuck! Breakfast home-​fries with garlic, lots of garlic. So gross. The omelet, which was not listed on the menu was pretty bad as well. browned on the outside. There are so many tables crammed into this restaurant that it was like eating breakfast on a crowded NYC subway. The waitress was nice, the star is for her.

Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Very family friendly. Great food! We go there at least once or twice a week. My favorite meal is the chopped chicken blt salad. Yum, Yum!

This place has been open since 1970. Good family style restaurant. Great breakfast. Bring thpe whole family. They make great omelettes, they’re not on the menu so you have to ask for them. The waitresses are really nice.

Very homey atmosphere. I liked their coffee cups which have the illustration of their staff. Wait staff were very friendly. It seems local people love to get together in this diner.

Mimi’s is a cozy diner with friendly staff. What’s great about Mimi’s is their breakfast; which is served all day. The lunch and dinner items are good but I think breakfast is the star. Just a heads up they do make omelets even though they aren’t listed on the menu. It’s usually busy but there’s ample parking and seating. Even when it’s busy the food still arrives to the table quickly.

First impression is the poor and slow service. By poor I mean the service staff was unhelpful about menu items and even the soup of the day. Not knowing the ingredients or failing to have tried the «Mimi’s famous chili». Not entirely disappointed in the restaurant as the food was fine and the waitress was attentive. 3-​stars is an average raring for an average establishment.

Great place. The ladies that work there are wonderful. They are all so polite and friendly. They make everyone feel like they ACTUALLY APPRECIATE your business, which is very rare nowadays. The local customers are a good crowd too. You never fell like you’re out of place there. It’s just a terrific atmosphere. As if that wasn’t enough, the homemade cinnamon raisin bread french toast is the greatest thing in the world. Hot, melted, gooey cinnamon and real maple syrup. Magnificent. If you are ever in the Fulton/​Oswego area Mimi’s is a must. Awesome place.

I’ve only been to this spot once and was terrified to go inside. It looks old! However, I quickly learned that is what makes this place special. They have great, local service and excellent breakfast for a value I hadn’t seen in years. Regardless of what you order on the breakfast menu it’s good, cheap and you can bet you won’t be hungry when you leave! Thanks for providing that I shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Great spot!

Classic diner with classic diner food. Menu is probably a but bigger than your average diner though. Personally this is THE breakfast spot for me. Definitely worth the stop. Freindly staff and very good prices.

Mimi’s Drive Inn is a cozy little diner in Fulton, NY.
I think the place seems to get a lot of traffic on Sundays for brunch. I went this past Sunday and enjoyed their breakfast special. We were a group of 5 and were seated within minutes despite the place being packed. The breakfast special was extremely affordable and the staff was friendly and attentive. It wasn’t the best diner food I’ve had, but it was pretty up there.

This restaurant was homey and wonderful. Belgian waffle with home fries were delicious. The service was excellent. This is a local place that not too many people know about. A great restaurant to go to!
The only bad thing was that you seat yourself, which can get weird when you thinlk the table is clean and can sit and it’s not.

Good diner. Reasonably priced menu. Good portion. I tried the liver & onions and wasn’t what I expected so they replaced me with my second choice of Hot Roast Beef. That was terrific. I will go back if I’m in the area again.

Oh man… Not only is the food amazing, but the price is too! You cannot beat Mimi’s!

Great place for breakfast, especially when your hung over lol. Staff was friendly as well.

I miss this diner, I have gone here multiple times and the food is damn good each time I’ve gone here.
the servers are always busy and have a lot of tables to take care of, they turn tables pretty quick. sometimes the servers really suck and take forever to get you what you want or come back to you, but there are ones that are actually really amazing and damn good at their job.
its pretty cheap as well, very good prices for good size amount of food.

This is one of Fulton’s best and oldest diners. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive and the food, while basic, is good and plentiful.
My most recent visit had two minor glitches: fake butter and congealed gravy on the fries. Other than that, Mimi’s didn’t disappoint.
You are allowed to seat yourself when it’s not busy. That’s part of the charm: you can place yourself as close to or far from any other party you want!
