   We came to enjoy a Sunday Brunch and were surprised to find they no longer offered a full bar, only beer and an attempt at hard seltzer mimosas. The hard seltzer is no match for a champagne. I would go again for a true breakfast, but for early afternoon brunch or a dinner, I enjoy a glass of wine… so will go elsewhere.

   Pleasantly surprised this place. Last minute choice driving through Knoxville. It was super busy but the wait was minimal, the staff were excellent, and the food was tasty and came out piping hot. Definitely worth a try.

   Waited over an hour from our reservation time. Mimi's used to be a reasonable place to eat, the food was good and the prices were not bad. Our experience after the wait was dirty menus, sub par food, and terrible service. Would not go back.

   The food and service were fine but the wait was very long. We had reservations and didn’t get seated until 45 minutes after the reservations. Seems like they overbooked.

   All of our meals were mediocre at best. Service was really slow. The muffins are good and that’s probably the best thing about Mimi‘s.

   Our party of 9 on a busy Sunday was seated and served promptly and courteously. Everyone's order was accurate and the food was delicious. Highly recommend Mimi's, Turkey Creek

   I realize it was Christmas Eve but we made a reservation and we got set 25 minutes late, they were out of most of the food items. I got cold coffee. It was hard to get drink refills. Our total experience took over two hours. When the food did come out, it was awful. We were put in a back room with nobody else said it was cold with no music. The icing on the cake was when the server said “I want to kill myself” in front of my Family! Never again.

   We had reservations for Christmas Eve. We had to wait for a while to even be greeted and then when we were finally seated there was not enough help. There was not a hostess and the servers and kitchen help took quite a while to get our order or our food. We were told they were out of chicken strips for children but the chicken and waffles had dried up chicken strips on it. The food was just not good . The kids macaroni and cheese was dried up and that was after being told there was no chicken strips which was our orignal order . Our server was pleasant but unfortunately she was so busy we never received drink refills or follow up until we asked for the check. Other patrons walked out because they were never greeted to be put on the wait list. Unfortunately there was not enough help so the restaurant should not have taken reservations if they didn’t have the ability to provide service or quality food.

   The food was great! We were seated in the back dining area for my sons college graduation, which worked out perfectly for our larger group. Our server was very accomodating and even offered to take our group photos. The meeting planner created a unique menu for us and the prices were reasonable. When visiting the Knoxville area, Mi Mi's Cafe will now be a repeat stop for us.

    I went to Mimi’s for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The restaurant was nice and quiet, but cold (probably because it was only 9 am and it was chilly outside). But the service was excellent - Dawn was top notch. She recommended the crab cakes benedict which was very good! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!
