Food was very ordinary. Reminded me of convention food. Had to wait 25 minutes past reservation to be seated. Had to have waitress bring missing items from meal. Drinks from bar took 16 minutes due to short staff at the bar. Had to listen to waitress tell sad story about having to work on thanksgiving Overall way over price for poor meal

The quality of the food has always been excellent and this year was no different; however, I was was disappointed in the quantity of food served which was much less than the years before. The salad was so very small. The amount of sweet potatoes, dressing & green beans was also much smaller. The amount of turkey and mashed potatoes along with the pie. We're all a normal size serving. The overall meal was much less food than it has been in years before, plus it was a dollar more expensive than last year. Hopefully this will not be what we find again next year as we have been having our Thanksgiving lunch for approximately 12 to 15 years now.

We are repeat customers and are always pleased with the food and service. The burger with brie and mushrooms is my go to but there's so many choices. Chef John is always there to greet us. Definitely recommend trying it.

Mimi's in Murfreesboro, TN was EXCELLENT in every way. It was "hands down" the best food since I have moved to TN from CA - SOOOOOO good and reasonable in price. I had been praying to find food that was / is as good as some of my favorite restaurants in CA - although I am SO glad to have left many tyrannical government things in CA behind. Mimi's is a place I will return to again and again. The owner came out to talk to my friend and to me and talked with us quite awhile. It was obvious that he really cared about the customers liking their food and their experience.

I am writing to formally express my outrage regarding the way my family was treated at your Mimi’s Café location on Medical Center Parkway on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at approximately 7:00 PM.
My mother, teenage sister, and grandparents, including my grandfather who is a 100% disabled veteran and cannot walk well and uses a cane, arrived for dinner. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Saturday night at 7 PM. This should have been the first red flag. Out of respect for my grandfather’s disability, we asked the hostess if we could sit at a table closer to the entrance. She initially agreed, but then proceeded to lead them all the way to the back of the restaurant. When my mother politely reminded her about the request and asked again about a nearby table, the hostess abruptly said, “This section is closed.”
There were clearly other patrons sitting in that section, so the explanation made little sense. I understand that servers may be cut and sections closed, but in this situation the professional and compassionate choice would have been for the server to walk a few extra steps to accommodate a disabled veteran. Instead, my family was met with resistance and attitude.
The hostess, a short, heavy-set white woman with short hair, threw down the menus, scrunched up her face, and not jokingly but rudely and dismissively said to my mother, who is in her 50s, “Whatever bro.” My mother responded appropriately, telling her, “You are very disrespectful, young lady. This is not how you talk to customers.” The level of disrespect was so out of line that my family decided to walk out.
As they were leaving, the manager, a white woman with auburn-brown hair, followed them outside to see what had happened. At that point, a server who had been sitting at the bar listening in, a white woman older, possibly in her 40s, with black hair and glasses, came outside. She interjected, taunted, and harassed my mother in the parking lot, shouting, “You’re rude. You were the problem.” Only then did the manager tell her to go back inside. This sequence of events was not only unprofessional but humiliating for my family.
The manager briefly asked what had happened, but she did not seem interested or apologetic. She failed to address the mistreatment, made no effort to correct the situation, and offered no assurance that it would be handled. Her indifference was equally unacceptable.
This entire experience was humiliating and infuriating. The blatant disrespect shown to my disabled veteran grandfather and to my mother is something I will not overlook. To be clear, you are lucky I, the oldest daughter, was not present for this interaction.
The lack of action and accountability from the manager must be addressed and corrected. I strongly believe the two employees should be formally corrected if not terminated.
Do better.

We had a wonderful experience for brunch! Our food was delicious, fresh, and our server Maddy was the absolute best! We ordered the two-egg platter, breakfast burrito, and French toast. This is one of our favorite places to visit for breakfast or brunch. The lunch menu is also really good. We will always come back!

Mimi's has great muffins & other baked goods, but every time we go our main dishes are always bland & unsatisfying.

Everything went well, our server was awesome. One critique we made reservation but still had to wait to be seated until everyone got there. Was only waiting for 2 people. Also wings were not cooked all the way. Our server made our first time visit amazing. Will come back again. Thanks.
