Mimi’s Cafe

It was okay. It took our server about 15 – 20 minutes to even come to our table, and then another 20 for food to come out, which isn’t too long. I guess there was a mix up with my plate and it took another 10 minutes for them to bring it out with the wrong side. All of our food was just okay, wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever had though.

Such a BAD experience here this morning! Seated at 10am in a nearly EMPTY dining room. By 10.25 we hadn’t had put order taken… By 10.54 we still hadn’t received our food! We had an appointment to get to so we asked them to box it up instead… That took another FIFTEEN MINUTES! I’ve attached a photo to show how EMPTY the ENTIRE restaurant was, that’s not just our dining room that was the only area that had people… It was painfully obvious that they were training new people and I understand that BUT when you are training servers you have experienced ppl on hand to shadow and help them. One couple next to us were so stressed to get their Bill Cosby they were trying to catch a flight! Amazing thing is that aside from offering some complimentary muffins the manager was not bothered at all! AWFUL! I would give ZERO stars if possible!

I hadn’t eaten here in several years because my previous experiences were average to poor service and mediocre food. I went with my wife this last Friday and was very pleasantly surprised. My waitress Gaby was fantastic and the food was top notch. For a Friday I was surprised at how few people were there. When I saw how dead it was we almost left but decided to give it a shot. Not sure if they are trying to make a comeback or if we just caught them on a good night.

Honestly, the food was alright, (the carrot bread was really good, as was the French onion soup) but the service was INCREDIBLE! I have not had a better waitress in my history of eating out than Joyce tonight! You need to request her! She always kept our glasses full and her optimism was contagious. She was so enthusiastic, she has an amazing sense of humor, she makes great recommendations, and she was genuinely interested in getting to know us! I know this sounds over-​the-​top, but seriously folks, I’ve never met her before, but she treated us like we’ve been friends forever!

You would think you can’t go wrong with bacon and eggs but this place managed to mess it up. My breakfast did no appear to be freshly cooked but had been sitting around. I had to send doggy bacon back. Roasted potatoes were greasy and overly salty, some were a bit raw, but wrinkly like they had been around a while. They promoted muffins which were basically carrot cake in a muffin shape. Not worth the money, go elsewhere

I was seated fast and the hostesses/​waitresses were all friendly. Food was good and service was top-​notch.

The quality of food and service was unbeatable! I highly advise getting the lemon poppyseed pancakes!

This was Village Inn or Denny’s wrapped in a cute French-​themed package. Greasy breakfast foods are their specialty. If you order a lunch or dinner just be prepared for all-​night diner quality food and rubber French fries. I should have ordered the pancakes.

Family catching up at mimis.
Over all the service was excellent; the staff treated us like their own family. They made us feel welcome and cozy .:-) .
The food was good. The COFFEE was not good, it needs a little more COFFEE. :-)

First off, finding a restaurant open on Sunday in Provo is not easy, so I appreciate finding Mimi’s open. The food was excellent. I had the salmon, it was juicy and tender and done just right, the creamy sauce was delicious and complimented the potatoes very well. My friend had the turkey and dressing and said it was as good as any homemade she had ever had. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend Mimi’s for a nice dining experience with great food.

I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich with a side garden salad and my wife had the French Pot Roast. The sandwich had everything good in the world between two halves of a roll that I want to make sandwiches out of everyday. The ham was thick and juicy and awakened the ‘pig-​eater’ inside of me from his 5 minute nap. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and definitely belonged in my insides. Could have used more Dijon mustard though. The pot roast made me question my American citizenship. Cooked in red wine with tender meat, pearl onions and carrot coins over garlic mash… the French nailed it! We would have rated 5 stars if the service was better. Had a basket of bread with no bread plates nor silverware until the food came out, which was a little longer than we thought was reasonable with the number of empty tables there were. They also brought my wife’s side salad out after the entrees came. Must have been Opposite Day for our server.

This is called Mimi’s Café. This is not a café. It is a restaurant. The coffee was stale and cold. The wifi is broken. The employees were nice but this corporate establishment is true to form in its lack of attention to detail, quality and pride. It is a diluted version of what is called «food and beverage.» Furthermore, from what I gathered, the wifi has been non-​functional for a very long time. They clearly have no interest in fixing it. Take «café» off the name, stop pretending to have French class or quality and don’t advertise free wifi. It’s sad, the employees here were so nice. They probably have limited employment opportunities and are constrained to work in a bland, classless, lifeless façade of a restaurant.

Love their food even though it’s not enough to to fill you. I am only a 115lb female and I had to order more just to be full. Service is horrible. Don’t go in with expectations. I ask for a drink refill multiple times and yes I did get one well half of one when my meal was done. They were out of coffee which is why I only received half of one and was told it would be filled when a new pot was done brewing yeah that never happened, big surprise. We asked for ketchup and jam multiple times which was also received after our meal since we were hungry we just ate anyways.

Worst restaurant ever if you wanna sit there wait for three hours on a table the have the hostess be a rude to use because after an hour we stated asking for a table they will never get my business again the don’t even deserve a star.

This place is OK. But I always feel like it is full of people that are my grandparents age.

I love this place! It’s perfect for all of my business lunch and even dinner meetings. Quite atmosphere so you can hear who’s talking in your group, but still great jazzy soft music in the back ground.
The food is amazing and my kids even ask to go there too.
They have amazing little loaf’s of bread you can buy that make great little gifts.

I got the lemon poppyseed pancakes. I would rate them a ⁴⁄₁₀. Wasn’t a fan, but my friend liked his. This is my second time coming here. I really liked the turkey sandwich I got the first time. Their service is very fast and the food came out quickly. It was hot and cooked very well. I would rate this higher than Denny’s but the prices are a bit higher.

Very disappointed! I usually love Mimi’s but I will never come to this location again! Our server Matthew never refilled our drinks, we had to ask several times for our bread and he never came to check on us during our meal. We had to ask another waitress to refill our water and Our breakfast was so so.

Good bye Mimi’s Café, you were good while you lasted…
I have loved this place for 13+ years. My wife and I, while dating, would eat here and no matter the location it was always good with great service. I have since been to the one in Orem, UT twice and Mission Valley San Diego once in the past 4 months. This place is dying. The service at both was very slow and the food less than good.
Honestly, if I was from France and ate here in the US I would be highly offended and demand they stop trying to connect it with my homeland… such a slap in the face to France and the food created by that country.
The servers have been pretty good and very nice but the kitchen takes forever to serve the food which reflects poorly on the serving staff. Again, this have been the case upon my last three visits. I feel bad for the waiters because they are trying to cover for an inept kitchen. Perhaps they need some Gordon Ramsey kitchen ass kicking’. It’d make a good show seeing him literally tossing cobb salads and making muffins fly.
The food is served almost warm and the brie & turkey sandwich I ate was so dry, even with the chutney one it, that I thought grandma’s Thanksgiving meal came early. However with plenty of water and a plunger it went down. My son’s fries were cold and his burger was also almost warm. Even their tossed cobb salad, which has been a longtime staple for me is extremely wet and soggy where it use to be crisp and fresh.
The issue is not the people waiting on you, it’s the ones you don’t see cooking and preparing the food that has killed this place. I’m also suspect that it’s the corporation that is also cutting back on the quality of the ingredients. When the food goes, so does the restaurant.
au revoir, Mimi’s Café… I mean, Goodbye, as you probably don’t understand french anymore as you once did…

Last minute get together with mom and the siblings … in all — there were 10 of us show up for lunch. Staff were amazing. Quickly set up an area for us to sit where we could enjoy a great meal with great service, and let us linger for a while as it wasn’t TOO busy in the early afternoon. So nice to catch up with the family. Thanks Mimi’s for great food and service and making the day great! By the way — the Salmon was A W E S O M E!
