I could not gush enough about this place in one tiny google review. Poplar Bluff needed this. Between the gift shop and the restaurant, I love them both. We had Eggs Benny and the Breakfast Casserole. Both were scratch made, and delicious! This place had all the charm of a historic building in downtown small business (in fact half of it is the old 303 Package Store) with the whimsy of 2024. I LOVE all of the reclaimed doors, sink, toilet, hardware, wood, and metal. I am obsessed, so vintage yet also so clean and classy. I have only had breakfast and cannot wait to have dinner here.

The place is a jewel. I would never have known it was there except my friend and I are always looking for new places to eat. I loved the building. Perfect decor. The food did not disappoint. We got the Cuban sandwich with homemade fries and the starter was Brussels sprouts. Delicious

We ordered for the first time last week and this was the best lunch we’ve had from town in a while! Amazing burgers, sides, French dips, and lemonade! We will be returning!

Mimi’s Market & Royal Cafe is a true gem in our community. The food is delicious, made from fresh ingredients, and filled with that home-cooking flavor you just can’t find everywhere. The service is friendly and welcoming , you really feel like you’re dining with family. Whether you’re there for a hearty lunch, a special dinner, or just a sweet treat, Mimi’s always delivers. It’s a wonderful spot to gather with friends, celebrate a milestone, or simply enjoy a great meal. Highly recommended!

Okie, based on the number of food pics I have from here, you’ll see this definitely one of our family’s local favorites! The food is incredible, the people are so friendly and have basically become family to us! Nestled in downtown PB, you need to give them a try if you haven’t already!! Lots of unique treasures on the Market side, too!

Great place to stop in for lunch. Definitely give this place a 10! They have a very nice atmosphere and food and service was great. They even box up your leftovers for you. They have a boutique just on the other side to shop while waiting on your food . We definitely need more places like this in downtown Poplar Bluff.

Stunning. The food, the atmosphere, the staff. Super clean, lots to look at. Very spacious. Beautiful. Now, on to the food. I had the Ruben sandwich with the fries and those brussel sprouts that are quickly growing famous. Those brussel sprouts were so good. Better than my own ! The sandwich was so beautiful and delicate and perfectly toasted bread. The dressing didn't run down my arm , the sauerkraut wasn't falling off...it was an absolutely perfect sandwich. Whoever made that, in my opinion, actually cared about what they were making and serving. Going forward, Mimi's will be a definite stop in Poplar Bluff.

This was quite literally the cutest place I've been in the Bluff! We had the Reuben sandwich with fries and it was the best I've had in years, the bread was crispy and delicious and the meat was thin sliced and fall apart tender. Even the pickles were a step above most! The service was fast and friendly and the whole place smells and looks like a high end restaurant from the west coast 10/10 will be back!
