Mimi's Roast Beef & Seafood

I used to visit a Mimi's in Waltham years ago before they closed and was always a solid Roast beef sandwich with north shore type and real Roast beef. I was in Watertown and saw this Mimi's and assumed associated with prior one from Waltham. I saw menu and price for a super roast beef sandwich was 8.90.... Reasonable I ordered with cheese and was 9.70 with tax.Onion roll on point toasted. Roast beef was not North Shore real Roast beef.It was a ham type roast meat just like Arby's roast beef and salty . I don't like as I don't like Arby's roast beef for a Roast beef sandwich. Mayo, barbecue sauces, cheese all as expected. If you like Arby's then you will like this. I do like Arby's beef and cheddar sandwich if desperate... but never would ever considered this super beef like I eat at Nics roast beef in Northshore Beverly Ma. or other similar sandwiches. I wanted to like this place as prices reasonable, but ham cold sliced type meat of some sort won't do it for me. Not the Mimi's as was in Waltham used to be real deal. I won't be eating here again.

Yummmmmmm!!! How have we lived in Watertown this long and never tried Mimi's Roast Beef sandwiches!! Deeeeelicious!! Absolutely mouthwatering!!

I'm not from the north shore, but I've had my share of roast beef sandwiches while living and working north of the Charles. Mimi's has the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had for an amazing price. I get the super on the onion roll with onions, pickles, tomatoes, Mayo, cheese, and bbq sauce.My only complaint is that the onion roll is not available outside of the super beef sandwich.Oh and their onion rings are amazing. It's a thick batter big onion ring not like thin clam shack style onion rings.

This place is the ultimate hole in the wall! Don't be deterred from the outdated menu sign; the man behind the counter/kitchen is always making my sandwich just right during my lunch breaks! I call ahead and he has it ready in 5 minutes. I will say, the "junior" roast beef, although only $7, is really on worth $7. So get the "super roast beef" sandwich if you're hungry!! Fresh onion rings that aren't too battered or greasy. And yes, the minimum is $11. But keep in mind during covid times, restaurants are taking hits and if they have a card minimum it's bc they include the fees card machines charge the restaurant :)

Great little spot. Very clean and good prices. I ordered the chicken kabob dinner. It was delicious! Moist and flavorful, with shoestring french fries and a fresh salad with quality dressing and pita bread. Large portion. Definitely coming back.

Holy cow!! What a find!! Had to have roast beef before leaving Boston, this little place was a hole in the wall but on our way out. Fresh sliced Roast Beef premium. Was delicious and just what I wanted!!

It's Mimi's, what else is there to know?If you don't know about this place then... That's okay, because till today neither did I!!It's a tiny shop of a bygone, more civilized age and it's owner and food reflect that. An experience from back when fast food wasn't a coorporate, soulless experience and was handmade with quality and passion.When you walk in you're confronted by the owner, a nice man of around 70 who told me he's been working his shop for 37 years. Prices are great and look like food prices from pre-covid times (in a good way)!I got the fish sandwich on recommendation from the owner and he fried it right then and there. Fresh cooked everything. Crispy, fresh, juicy haddock with a slathering of tarter sauce and a good handful of lettuce between two hot soft buns. Delicious. The fries were also spectacular. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they tasted like an upgraded McDonald's french fries, and they actually tasted like potatoes indicating they were probably made in house. Not sure if they are but they definitely tasted it! Fries needed a bit of salt but in every regard they blew the competition out of the water.There was a small bench to sit in and it gave an antiquated, quaint vibe, but this is more of a take out food place. Worth it to drive her just for the fries alone. People complaining of parking are right, but you can honestly park across the street at the Dunkin's anyways. The only inconvenience is that there's an $11 dollar minimum for card, which, considering the food is so cheap, is hard to reach with just a sandwich (hint: get fries to reach this). So keep that in mind. I highly highly highly recommend Mimi's! This place is where it's at!

No frills joint with an extensive menu. I wanted to love this place but the three way roast beef was a huge letdown. This isn't north shore style roast beef sandwich. The meat was cool and had a ham like deli meat / Arby's texture and saltiness that should not have been there. The meat was cool and at times I questioned if they snuck fresh mozzarella in there due to the salty springy texture. Slices don't fall melt in the moth. Could have used more sauce and more Mayo. Bun wasn't traditional either (but was good) and the menu made it easy to accidentally order a sub or medium. I finished my sandwich but each bite left me more perturbed. A proper roast beef sandwich should be warm, bloody, messy meat, with lots of sauce and Mayo, ideally on a grilled bun. Frescos in Malden, Kipos in Wakefield, and Harrison's in Andover are what I'm measuring again but I've heard others do it even better (billys, modern butcher, etc). West of Boston is in dire need of proper roast beef place so hopefully they consider changing up their sandwich or just change the name and focus on subs.On a positive note, the meat was fresh and the portion size was reasonable for the price. I might go back for a sub but not for the roast beef.

1)Super Roast Beef Sandwich (on Onion Roll)2)Onion Rings (medium just-right batter), crisp delicious and does not fall a at bite 3)Fish & Chips (thin bendy fries)

I can't eat fried seafood too often, but when I do it is from Mimi's. We really enjoy it!
