We showed up around 1 PM the day after Christmas and boy did we wait. I sat there wondering why we were waiting so long; why didn't I just make us sandwhiches? Sigh.
Anyways, once we got seated, I was pretty happy with my egg white, broccoli and ham omelet. Of course, my attempt to eat healthy was thwarted by the delicious bread basket they put on the table (although the pumpkin bread was a bit dry/tasteless). But the pumpkin muffin was delicious.
The coffee is so-so. Did the job but I had to add a lot of cream/sugar to make it drink-able.
The asian chicken salad was really good and the dressing is quite addictive.
If it wasn't for the wait, I think I would have enjoyed the restaurant a bit more. -

Having nowhere to go for Thanksgiving this year, I left my house that evening on route to Denny's. Instead of taking the freeway, I took T.O. Blvd hoping I would find something open before I got to Denny's. Luckily a wrong turn lead me to Mimi's which I was relieved to find open for Thanksgiving dinner.
On Thanksgiving they only had one thing on the menu, the thanksgiving feast. The menu doesn't allow you much in terms of selection only letting you pick soup or salad and choice of dessert. When I ordered I was a bit weary of the $15 price tag, I came to realize that you received a large amount of food. My meal came with a garden salad, mashed potatoes, whipped sweet potatoes, turkey breast, stuffing, and steamed vegetables. Additionally, I was also served a slice of pumpkin pie and 2 slices of a pumpkin spice cake (delicious) before my meal. I left absolutely stuffed (that is what Thanksgiving is about after all, right?) While I can't speak on their normal, daily menu, I was more than pleased with Mimi's for Thanksgiving.
The Good: Open Thanksgiving, Excellent Value and portions, and tasty food (some of the best whipped sweet potatoes I have ever had)
Needs Improvement: The service was meh, my waitress was barely around. Also, the restroom was in horrible condition. There were paper towels everywhere and toilet paper all over the stalls, I have seen better restrooms in gas stations! -

I love Mimi's....it is just a great comfy place with tons of options!!! Everything I order at Mimi's is so yummy! I adore the French onion soup, always order it (unless I'm there for breakfast) If you crave a burger get the San Francisco burger...it comes on amazing Sourdough bread. The pastas, salads, etc are all great! Enjoy!!!

Seems like Mimi's used to be really good but the last few times I have been there the caliber of the food is about the level of a Coco's or Denny's. The muffins and bread are still good but the meals and soups don't seem to be the same quality I remember from years past. Too bad, was one of my fav places but not anymore.

The Tomato Basil soup was really good and had a nice full flavor. It serves as a great dipping vessel for their rolls. I jade the turkey pesto sandwich and the turkey was amazing. I would east the may all by itself. In fact I can't wait to taste the turkey dinner now. I don't like how the kids hamburgers are just two of those little sliders and a huge pile of fries.
Overall the food was very good HOWEVER our waitress was sooooooo slow. It took her a total of 30 minutes to do the bring the check and charge my card routine. I have to hold a place accountable for the wait staff so overall the visit was a 2 star visit but the food was a 4.5 star review. -

A++ for the food, C- for the service... Every time I have gone to Mimi's Cafe, it has taken FOREVER to be seated and place an order! Maybe it's just the particular location of this one, but there seems to be an overwhelmingly abundance of retirees sitting, having their coffee and muffins; no one seems to be in any kind of hurry.
I love the food, which is why I continue coming here. I've had the turkey salad sandwich, pot roast, pork chops, burgers... everything I've tried is delicious (when it finally arrives at your table). They are known for their muffins! We always order some to go! -

Service. Service. Service.
What I truly don't understand is why waiters or waitresses see a younger couple and more times often that not, give them limited or garbage service. We can still TIP! But of course people would rather assume now a days. Fine! You tip will be affected haha!
So here we go.
Walking into the restaurant, with 1 couple in front of us. They were seated immediately by a younger gentleman, an once it was our turn to be seated, we were told to wait for a table, by the manager. Figures. It's being young with tattoos. They have to open up the back tables, right? Don't worry MiMi's, I'll tell it all.
Yup. So we were sat in the back, under what seemed to be the brightest light in the whole restaurant. My girlfriend couldn't even read her menu due to the reflection from the light. I fixed that problem myself and switched with her.
It seemed like our waitress was playing the disappearing game. She was also harder to flag down than a NYC taxi! Get some waitresses that can SEE MiMis. I'll give another reason later.
We finally got our order in, once we finally caught her, and I got the chicken artichoke pasta and my GF got soup and a muffin. She's smart. I wasn't.
The ONLY thing I asked for was the chef to cut the slab of chicken they plop onto the pasta, because who just throws a chicken breast that's an inch and a half thick down, an hopes the person has a chainsaw. MiMis does. (another example of a blind waitress, CAN'T YOU SEE THE CHICKEN HASN'T BEEN CUT? Go watch the goddam food channel. You NEVER bring a dish out if it's not catered to how the person wants it. You would have been chopped, fired, voted off, canceled in 2 seconds. And I understand it's not Rocco's Dinner Party, but I'm still paying 14 bucks for a plate I pasta, which is the 2nd cheapest meal to make next to rice.)
I managed to cut the chicken, and actually didn't really eat it because it was way too thick. My girlfriends soup was good, but that's kinda hard to mess up. The muffins are always recommended. Seems like MiMis should be a bakery. by the end if our meal, we were ready to go. But that was the worst part. Getting the check and paying for 2 people took 20 minutes. The restaurant was surely emptying out by the time we left, so I knew we were there for a while.
All in all, I won't come back to here again.
I used to like it but for the prices you charge and the service that is offered, I rather eat at jack in the freakin box 1 block up the street. They actually change the order if you request it. Hah!
Try harder MiMis.
Was gonna do 3/5, but after proof reading this, it angered me.

Very nice location, server was very polite, but somewhat slow to keep up with all the tables he had. The food was great, the avocado BLT omlette is very rich and fluffy, and the flavours work very well together. Red skin potatoes were a bit too stiff for my taste but were very well seasoned.
The muffins? Oh my God! So moist and flavourfull! Honey oats are my favorites from now on, and frankly - I came in hungry and one of those babies was enough to get me half full. Definitely recommended! -

Went on Saturday night.......... Had the fish and chips (sub brown rice for "chips") Pleasantly surprised they are using Haddock for the fish - EXCELLENT! Halibut is getting so expensive - this is a good flacky, white fish with mellow flavor and aroma - if you are from the East Coast you know about haddock! The service was excellent, quick, and efficient - the coleslaw could've been a little more inventive - pretty standard stuff - needed more flavor. The ice tea was fresh, and ice cold (need bigger glasses - save a waiters legs) - we'll be back!

I tried all the little breakfast places that I could dig up in the area and finally, I gave in and tried Mimi's. It is a bit kitschy, decorated kind of French and New Orleans like, but the breakfast here is pretty solid. The breakfast potatoes here are very good.
I had pumpkin pancakes, omelettes and quiche here. The food is pretty darn delicious, although the muffins they give you are ridiculously big and really way too much food with a breakfast entrée. The service is fine, although the hosts could be a bit more warm and friendly sometimes, but so far in Thousand Oaks, this is the best breakfast I've found.Listed in: Start Your Morning in Ventura…

OK, I'm warning y'all I'm starting with a rant here. I signed up online for their email list and received a coupon for a Buy-1-Get-1-Free breakfast. So we first went for breakfast 2 weeks ago. When we arrived, we were added to the waiting list, even though we were the only 2 people in there waiting to be seated. I guess this is to give the appearance of busy-ness. While we were milling about a single man walks in and the hostess seats him at a table. Then she comes back and says she can seat us at a table now.
The EXACT SAME THING happened to us again this morning! The same hostess added us to the list, we sat down to wait, and a single man came in the door and she took and sat him immediately. I was fuming! I called her on it and she made some lame excuse... Yeah, right.
Today, we had another B1G1Free coupon, thankfully!, because breakfast today was not that good. The potatoes (my favorite part of a Mimi's breakfast) were charcoal coals. :( The waitress didn't even ask us how everything was because she could tell by our avoidance of the tater coals that she wasn't going to like our answer.
I had a shrimp omelet with salsa verde that had good flavor and Honey had ham and eggs that he said were good. But it wasn't anything to write home about. Without the coupons, I'd avoid this place. -

I love Mimi's.
I rarely am disappointed with the service or the food, and when I am, the management usually tries to make it right. I had no cause for complaint during this visit.
I was greeted as I entered the restaurant, and the host led us to a booth. I asked to be moved to a table, and with little fuss was seated near the wait station. I didn't mind this at all.
Before we were able to order our drinks, the bread basket appeared as if by magic. Wonderful carrot raisin bread and hard rolls are always welcome.
I tried the Chicken Cordon-Bleu, and was happy I did. The portion size was about right, and although the preparation was non-traditional (cheese and ham placed between two hot breaded chicken tenders), the flavor was excellent. As is my habit, I ordered the French Onion soup to come out early. Although the timing was a bit off (I tend to dawdle over the soup), the rest of the service was what I expect from Mimi's.
If you are stuck for a place to eat, and you are near this Mimi's, try it. Just leave the attitude at home. -

Went for breakfast last week... Always have great food. Can never complain about that.
As a former server myself, we had the BEST server I have had out in a long time. For one reason only: my friend had ordered egg whites only with her breakfast.... The server came to us and made sure that the egg whites were cooked well enough for her otherwise she was going to take it back... NEVER has anyone ever asked us that anywhere... thats a GOOD server... we were so happy. -

I only got the apple cobbler so that's what this review is primarily based on.
When my friend and I arrived there were tons of workers walking around but no one to seat us. Where was this person? Who knows. He finally slowly walked up to the desk and we were seated. The rest of the staff wasn't very fast either. Our waitress never came by to refill my friend's drink, never asked us how our food was, and took forever to give us our check.
The only redeeming quality was the apple cobbler (which I accidentally called apple crumble and the waitress gave me a look and said in a sour tone: "You mean the apple cobbler?". I said yes). But when the cobbler came out it was great. The apples still had a bite to them (I hate mushy apples) and the ice cream with it was just perfect. I would have liked a bit more cinnamon but otherwise it was plentiful and yummmm.
All in all, nothing spectacular about this place (even the cobbler that I had because I've had good cobbler/crumble at other places with better service and my friend said her food was fine). If they pick up the service, I might be willing to come back. -

I had been to Mimi's probably 7-8 years ago for lunch and thought it was fine, so knowing they had wine, we decided to try it for dinner after a movie. Big mistake.
First thing I noticed walking in at around 8p on a Saturday was that it looked dirty. Nothing fresh or clean about the place. Second was the clientele. Now, I have no issue with places that the senior citizens go. I am usually out with my 85 yo mom and we go lots of places that are popular with seniors. But when I walk into a place and the ONLY customers are people who look like this could be their last meal and giant families with high chairs, I have a big problem.
After several minutes a young man comes to seat us. The place was not full at all, but he sat us at a table right by the coffee/water station. That would be because all the empty tables were still un-bussed from previous diners. We sat for at least 5 minutes and not one of the filthy tables near us was cleaned. And even though all the servers and busboys had to walk RIGHT BY US (because we were sitting practically in the water station), not one person looked at us or acknowledged us in any way. No "I'll be right with you," no, "Can I start you with some drinks?" no water, NOTHING. Adding to that was the dirty menus that looked like they hadn't been wiped in months and the overall Dennys feel of the place, we walked out. The young man who had just seated us 5 minutes earlier held the door for us as we walked out and never made any inquiry as to why we were leaving. Guess no one cared.
Senior citizens of Thousand Oaks, you can do much, much better. This place is Dennys with Freixenet. Skip it. -

OMG. Went here as part of our roadtrip, and haven't stopped thinking about it yet. I dunno wassup with the low reviews but that's y'all opinions lol; I friggin love this place! Tell me why the portions are soooo filling for such a good price; I went for breakfast, they have THE BEST pancakes hands down for a chain-restaurant; better than Denny's!!! LOL!
I think I ordered an omelette as well with some potatoes; everything was just good. It is usually packed in there though; it's sort of like In-N-Out; Mimi's Cafe isn't blown-up like Denny's, but a hell of alot of people know about it enough to keep it packed and busy.
I haven't been to any other locations yet, I'm thinking bout going to one in the Bay Area; I just hope it's just as good as Thousand Oaks. -

Came here with my gf and her brother.
I like the atmosphere and the decor.
As for the food, my belgian waffle was good as was the honey bran muffin. Both arrived warm and fluffy.
Gf had the caprese omelette and she said it was very good.
Her brother had the breakfast burrito. Now that is a meal!
Our juices were too sweet as is common with concentrates.
Server was ok. Definately would be back but will try something different next time.
Maybe the crab cakes benedict. -

If you have the time to sit here, and wait for your food then do it for the atmosphere, and good food. Other wise take it to go! they tend to lag, and this place gets packed!
Breakfast: 4 star
Eggs over hard came out just like I like them firm, and not greasy. The ham was grilled with just the right amount of char on it, and the red skin potato's are pretty good!(haven't had the hash...don't think I want to)
Lunch: 4 star
Albacore salad Sandwich, and fries on sourdough. It had just the right amount of tuna to mayo ratio(not too dry not to wet) It even had celery in it which is a big plus for a tuna eater like me.
Bakery:3.5
I've only had the opportunity to try there blue berry muffin which I had moist top, but the bottom was a little dry for me. It also had the right amount blue berry's
If you're a meat lover like I once was then get the Fresh Quarter! Its a burger on grilled garlic parmesan sourdough with Avocado, bacon, double Swiss cheese, and 1000 island(my mouth is watering)...Keep in mind I haven't had meat in over 6 months, and I haven't had this burger in over 4 years, but yes it was that memorable to me, and unfortunately I wont be having it any time soon. So have some for me!
Most meals run about $9-$12. The Breakfast does include juice, and chose of muffin, or toast. The amount of food you get is a notch above Denny's, but you can't compare the two when it comes to the over all quality of food.
take out usually takes 15mins. Dinning in will cost you a good 30mins -

Overall rating: OK-. Is that why you go out to eat? Is just ok good enough? If the answer is yes, that this is your place. You'll get lots of bread, plain entrees, and less than stellar service. Oh, there might be another reason why you go out to eat. You want to be stuffed. Jackpot! You will be stuffed on the muffins and bread that is the only redeeming factor of this place.

I can't figure out why anybody likes this place. Its like a crappy IHOP from a hellish Disneyland ride. The one thing that is decent is their french onion soup. the only reason i go here is because my boss enjoys this place which i do not.

My last visit to Mimi's was for a large dinner put on by a local financial advisor: Glen Bindelglass with Edward Jones. The presentation was very informative, but I digress.
It was amazing to me how one person was able to serve a group of 30 essentially by herself, and do such a good job. I was equally impressed that when I ordered the asparagus ravioli minus the chicken, it was so good and the marinara sauce was just right. My mouth is watering just writing about it.
Mimi's always has such great bread, and their fruit bread (like banana bread but with nuts and fruit in it) was my desert. The salad was fresh, and the deserts others were having looked really wonderful. Portions were larger than I should have eaten, and I definitely felt guilty for eating every bite, but what can I say, it was yummy! -

I love Mimi's, now there's a place I recommend. The atmosphere, the ambiance, the service, the food, everything is super--I think. And it hasn't got the prices of whatever -it's priced well and worth every penny that you spend there.
Their date-nut muffins are served with every meal, and those are wonderful, well enough that you go the bakery and you buy some to take home.
The people who work there are very, very nice and put up with my husband and I splitting our meal, ordering hot water with lemon and needing extra Sweet N Low all the time.
But the most interesting things about Mimi's isn't the food or the staff or the muffins, it's the decor. Yes, the whole place is cute, but the cutest thing is that in the men's bathroom there's a very interesting painting of a black man--are you allowed to say that?--in a bathtub smoking a cigar, and being so relaxed and feeling that the world is his oyster. I haven't seen it, but I've heard all about it. Well, okay, I did see it--but just from the doorway for a second. Anyway, my husband LOVES it, and if I could I would buy a copy of that painting and hang it in my living room to make him happy. It wouldn't bother me that he found it in a bathroom. Some wonderful stuff comes out of bathrooms!
So if you know what painting I'm talking about, and know where we can get a copy, please send me a note. Until then, we'll enjoy it in our memories, as we have moved away from Ventura County, and although I know it is a chain, this was OUR Mimi's. -

it's kind of a hit and miss. NEVER go here if you are on a time constraint. It's more for a leisurely meal, mostly due to the slow pace of the staff. You will wait for a little/long while for someone to seat you, as most of the time I have been there, no one is standing at the host stand (unless it's a weekend, busier I guess) and you will probably see 3 or 4 staff members look at you with "this is not part of my job" written on their face.
I have lived in the area all my life and used go to mimi's ALL the time. Although I have never been impressed by their food (but their muffins are INSANELY GOOD, ESP Carrot & Raisin mmmm!) it's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about.
The food can be rich and I would catagorize it as "comfort food". I wouldn't necessarily go here if you were looking for a healthy meal, (they do have health-concious entree's, but good luck not being swayed by the other items on the menu)
I would just watch out for who is serving you. There is one waitress/hostess that is super-frazzled (i've had her a few times, so it's not really "maybe she's having a bad day" excuse) and pretty much acts like you are giving her the most difficult requests she has ever heard.
Overall, I think this place is alright, not my totalyl favorite place in the world. What I do like is it's location and that you can order online! -

I have to review this place simply because I worked here, and therefor it holds a special place in my heart.
Perhaps when you live in Thousand Oaks this is one of your only choices for a reasonably priced meal for the whole family. Though my family never bothered coming here and for good reason.
There are two things that I can say I truly miss from this place, and they are the only two things worth ordering. I mean let's be honest...those 3 egg omelets (if they are even made out of real egg) are disgusting and the place just smells bad. Anyhow, the spinach artichoke dip, and the chocolate pecan pie are hands down the only reason to visit Mimi's.
Oh, and if you're a family who lugs your 3 demon children over and allow them to throw food all over the floor, you're supposed to tip extra not less. Just because your waitress is friendly and says your kid is sweet doesn't mean your presence is tip enough. Seriously, patrons of this place should be ashamed of themselves...on more levels than one. -

I was in CA for about two weeks on business and Mimi's cafe was pretty close to where I was working. My co-workers and I must've gone to this restaurant about 3x a week. The waitresses and staff here are SO SWEET! We all seemed to have all these odd requests regarding our orders and the waitresses always told us that our requests were 'never a problem'!
The food here is great, too! My personal fav was the 1/2 salad, 1/2 soup deal. Just the right amount of food. Oh, and I def suggest getting one of their muffins! ;) -

If you're planning to have breakfast here on Sundays, try coming a little earlier before the crowd gets out from churches. -

I love Mimi's. I think the food is worth the price... not super cheap, but definitely affordable and worth it. I love the diverse options on the menu.. and I love the bread basket that comes out to each table (mmm carrot loaf).
Now they have a super $12.99 three-course deal for dinner. You can get soup/salad/mini appetizer + entree (i LOVE the butternut squash ravioli. The same thing would cost an icky $18+ at a fancy schmancy italian place) + dessert.
Yum. Service can be slow, but the staff is generally friendly. -

New Orleans/Cajun vibe...though as my brother kindly suggests, Mimi's Cafe needs an update to what the present New Orleans, Louisiana looks like. Ouch.
That aside, service is typically prompt and friendly. The servers help each other out.
The food is very reasonably priced, you really get your money's worth. With most things on the menu, you can also get/subsitute a side of salad, soup, fries, mashed potatoes, or /and fruit. This is all apart from the endless refills some drink (ie lemonade) and from the yummy bread they start you off with.
It's not the most glamorous of places, but it's certainly cozy and dependable. Friendly, family-oriented atmosphere- great for small or large groups. -

Mimi's is always a good place to take the family (extended family as well) for the good, comfort food. No matter if it is the french dip with coleslaw for an early dinner, eggs benedict or oatmeal for breakfast, something can be found for everyone. However, since they took of my favorite item (Thai chicken lettuce wraps) I can honestly say I no longer have a favorite item on the menu... The service is great and when they do take too long or something goes wrong, management steps up to fill in or take responsibility (Thanks Lisa!!!) Would have been more stars, but corporate seems to keep tinkering with the dinner menu and portion sizes, so I have stopped looking for favorite items and just expect that I will have to order something different than my last entree. Hey corporate, bring back the Thai Lettuce Wrap and I will reevaluate!
