Took my family (6 total) to the Layton, UT location for dinner the other night. We had never been there and I wanted to try something new. How I wish I hadn't.

We went fairly early in the evening so seating wasn't a problem, we got right in. After 10 minutes we were able to place our food orders. Drinks were brought out for the kids (10, 6, 3) and our 3 water arrived (Me, wife, and 12 year old son). We waited patiently for our food, as patiently as hungry kids can wait. I mean I only had to hear "I'm hungry like 3 times" in the 35 minutes it took our food to come out so, it was almost good.

Kids meals are nothing spectacular, but is fare that kids like to eat: Mini corn-dogs, chicken fingers, and pizzatillas (which my 10 year old liked).

The regular food was less than stellar. My orange roughy came out slightly over cooked and completely unseasoned and the vegetables were ok. My wife's steak was not impressive in any manner and was also not seasoned. My 12 year-old son ordered chicken cordon bleu which he enjoyed, but then again he is 12 and has no palate to distiguish good food from poor food...he only knows that he is eating and his belly is being filled. I didn't taste his so I can't comment.

I will say that the food seemed very expensive for what we got. Our bill with tip was $70. Our normal bill at comparable restaurants is $40-$50 (and we get sodas!!)

I for one will NOT be visiting Mimi's cafe again. There are places with far better food, prices, and service that deserve my money.

i WENT TO MIMI'S IN GREENSBORO/THE SHOPPES AT FRIENDLY UPON A FRIEND'S RECOMMENDATION. I WAS WITH A PARTY OF 8 AND WE'D HAD RESERVATIONS. IT TOOK US 45 MINUTES TO BE SEATED! OUR FOOD CAME OUT COLD AND OVERLY SALTY. THE MOST DISTURBING OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE MANAGER, A SHORT CHUBBY FELLOW, ASKED US IF EVERYTHING WAS OK. WE TOLD HIM WHAT ALL HAD HAPPENED AND HE WAS CURT AND RUDE TO US, INSINUATING IT WAS OUR OWN FAULTS! I'VE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN TO AS TERSELY AS THIS LITTLE MAN SPOKE TO ME! WHEN I ASKED THE WAITRESS WHO WAS OVER HIM, SHE REPLIED NO ONE AS HE WAS MANAGING OWNER! IT'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THE MAN WANTS TO SABETAGE HIS ENTIRE LIVELIHOOD BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY IT APPEARED.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMENT MIMI'S AT THE SHOPPES AT FRIENDLY TO ANYONE....UNLESS THEY WANT TO BE INSULTED!

Very nice restaurant and great selections. I was not sorry to try their healthy menus and be on a diet. though it was bought by the company that runs Bob Evans, they are still keeping its original format of service and great taste together. I would like to go there again.

This is the best resturant I have ever been to. I now go at least once a week. The service is top notch and the food is even better. And the price is not bad at all.

One of the better places to go if you're going out to eat on a major holiday. Make reservations though. I've had the Easter, Thanksgiving and Mother' Day meals there. The food is fresh and the service is good, even on the holidays.

Wow surprised to see this on the list. My dad took me here, first Sunday after church in Texas, and I thought it was a beautiful restaurant, great staff, the food was really good. So was the coffee, which isn't always dependable in most other places! A bit crowded but like I said it was after church, in Texas. A common site. Most restaurants are crowded at that hour.

The food is great and not expensive. It is a very good value for the money. Service is not very consistent but the food is. Also the menu is very varied good for family dining with a nice atmosphere

We go have breakfast from time to time at the one on Whittier Bl. in Whittier. I've never left disatisfied.

We were at the Chesterfield, Missouri location. Our server was Mary. She was personable and, although very busy, took great care of us. The food was terrific and Mary made our experience a very happy one. We will definitely go back!

I loved my low-cal fish plate with a side of sliced tomatoes (which was one of my choices). I was amazed by how many slices there were on my plate! And the fresh steamed broccoli was tender and beautiful. The fish was deliciously mild and cooked just right. I really enjoyed my first meal at this charming restaurant where the wait staff was eager and happy.

I've only been to the Elk Grove, CA location. The food there is just OK, but my veggies have always been undercooked. After already visiting that location several times, I learned of people finding suprises in their food (if you know what I mean).

Good - plus they have a healthy options menu

Charming quaint little place, food is great and served with warm fresh bread, can't beat that!
