Mima Mae's Family Restaurant

This is a greasy spoon. The service was substandard. My order was never correct. Wait til they get bugs worked outbefore trying it.

I found out about this place from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a>. Part of their menu was listed on there and once I saw the prices, I knew I'd want to check it out. I purchased 2 of the 10.00 gift certificates and was sad to find out that the restaurant doesn't actually accept them. This however, was bad on restaurant.com's part. I don't hold this against them.

When entering the building, there was a sign up that said they don't accept credit/debit cards. Thank goodness there was a gas station right next door with an ATM, because it was about 25 minutes out of our way and I would have been upset if I didn't get to eat there.

Those two things aside, the experience was great. We were in the mood for breakfast food, which they serve all day long. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert, all at really cheap prices. Their breakfast items range from $3.00 - $7.00 or so. They have one meal which is the one for around $7.00 ($6.95 I think) which includes 3 eggs, 2 pork chops, fried potatoes, and biscuits and gravy. Most meals are less than $5.00, which is very cheap considering the amount of food they give you. Their lunch items are also around 5.00, and their dinner options are $9.00 or less.

My meal was only $4.00 for 2 eggs, my choice of meat (which I chose sausage links and it came with 4), fried potatoes, and toast. My husband chose the same thing with 3 eggs, which would have been $4.95 but he also chose goetta for his mean which was an extra $1.50 so it came to 6.45. They gave him a large piece of goetta too so the extra $1.50 wasn't bad. There is also an option to get steak for an extra $2.00.

After we finished our breakfast, I couldn't help myself... and indulged in a piece of homemade peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. It was really good. Our grand total was only $12.19! Amazing! I would have paid double that easy at a lot of other restaurants.

Their menu also had a lot of different things that I would like to try. Everything looked good. They had a lot of specialty country style items also like chicken and dumplings, friend green tomatoes, and fried apples and biscuits.

Other than that their service was good. The waitress was really friendly. They have 5 booths (all of which were filled) another 6 or so tables, and a bar with stools and a TV to watch. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. It may just be because it's out in the country so there's not that many options super close by, but I also think it's because the food is really good, and the prices are incredible. If I live around there, I would definitely be a regular. All I can say is I wish it were closer! Being that it isn't that close I won't go very often, but anytime I'm out that way I'll make it a point to stop by!
