I probably will still visit Mimi's Cafe occasionally when friends & I can't decide on where to go, but there are other better places out there for breakfast/diner food. Shame on you Mimi's!...

Whenever I go to Target I usually stop in at Mimi's. For a chain restaurant, with a laughable interior design, it serves a great turkey burger and fries. The corn chowder also is surprisingly tasty....

This place has a great atmosphere: its very warm and homey. The food is served in a very casual and motherly style, and is not bad at all. Service is friendly and attentive even in the rough hours.
