Editorial Review for Mimi's Cafe – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Decorated like a French country bistro with jazzy New Orleans overtones, Mimi's Café was named after a lost love of Arthur Simms, who started the restaurant in 1978 in Anaheim, Calif., with his family. The ambience could only be upstaged by the menu filled with traditional American favorites. Breakfast includes omelets, waffles, muffins and fresh-squeezed juices, while lunch and dinner feature comfort-food classics like pot pie and pot roast, deli-style sandwiches, burgers, pastas, steaks and salads.

Ok atmosphere but lackluster food. Pastas are bland. Onion soup is pretty good. Bread is old in the evening. I'd rather go to Marie Callendar's. Inconsistent food. Some nights turkey is moist, other nights it's dry.

This place is just plain adorable...very homey, it makes you feel warm the second you walk in. The food is pretty standard American, but their muffins are fantastic, and often come with the meal, which I found quite unique. The service is lovely, but my favorite part of the restaurant is the scenery, like a quaint Italian village. Bon apetit!
