“Since I rounded up my review of Johnny's on 18th St from 3.5 to 4 stars last year, I'll be fair and round up this review from 4.6 to 5 stars. Mimi's is definitely better than Johnny's. The dough is more flavorful than the Bisquick biscuit mix style they have at Johnny's. And I can identify what is on my pizza. That was a stretch of the imagination over there. This is definitely New York style pizza. It has the soggy mushy crust in the center, and the dough becomes a little drier and more chewy as it radiates out to a crispy edge. Thin crust. I've learned to take a small bite at the pointy end of my slice and a small bite at the round edge and chew these together to get a better balanced chew. Then I work my way towards the center of the slice. I traveled for over 25 years in my job, so I've had pizza all across America, some were NY style (although I never had it in NYC, just in other parts of that state). I walked in and ordered this a little after 3pm on Saturday, Oct 21, 2023. I had errands to run, so I requested a 4:30 pick-up time. That was fine with Colby since he had 3 customers ahead of me. I ordered the 16 inch pizza with Italian sausage, bell pepper, and onion. Total was $27.60. I put down $30 cash. Got $2 change. They DID NOT HAVE any coin change except for pennies. 😐 🤔 🤨 🤦♂️ So I said we would settle up when I returned. I came back at 4:35, and Colby saw me drive up and brought the pizza out to me, which I appreciated. I had some loose change in my car, plus some in my pocket, so we went inside and I traded $2 in coin for 2 $1 bills from him. Then I got my 40 cents change. As for the pizza it was good overall, did not get sick, but I never tasted any oregano or basil on it. To me, those 2 herbs make it Italian. I stopped in about 2 months ago soon after they opened to check on ingredients to be sure I could eat there (I have digestive problems with soy (common vegetable oil) and additives such as MSG (Accent) flavor enhancer and sodium phosphate). We were good - olive oil and didn't sprinkle Accent on it like Newk's does. And the young woman cashier assured me they used oregano and basil because she had worked at other pizza joints where they did not know what those were. Yet I didn't taste any herbs and didn't see any herb flakes. I ate some cold the next morning for breakfast and still didn't taste any. I eat a low salt diet, so I found this pizza to be a bit salty. I chose not to get pepperoni for this reason, but either the dough or the mozzarella cheese was saltier than I prefer. And the Italian sausage was also salty, plus I prefer more anise in it, like the brand I buy for home. It did have bell pepper and red onion on it, but I would have preferred more, a bit skimpy in my opinion. Overall, I liked this pizza. Turns out the 16 inch pizza was actually 18 inches, so more than I expected. It IS better than Johnny's. But I still prefer the artisan style pizza I like to get at Billy's Pizza in Vicksburg, Frank's Pizza in Shreveport, and that pizza I got at some brewhouse on US Route 2 along the New Hampshire / Maine border in February 2004 when there was snow on the ground.”

“Arons has enjoyed a stellar reputation for generations in Monroe. My earliest memories were going to get the best burger in town. Dad liked the fact that they put an entire thick slice of onion on the hamburger. Now they are my hospice pharmacy and I know I'm in good hands.”

“First time going to the newly opened restaurant here in Monroe. Was very pleased with the staff directing us as how to fix our food. Very friendly and informative. The salad fixings looked very good and plenty to choose from. I had a baked potato and some broccoli cheddar soup and it was good too. Looking forward to my next trip there and so far would recommend this place..if you find this information helpful please give me a like 👍”

“3/11/23: Stopped by to pick up dinner. We ordered chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. The lady at the counter was very nice and friendly, and addressed her regulars by name. The dining area appeared to be closed. There was a buffet bar going, but I believe that they only do take out orders. Our fried rice was good and hot, and the egg drop soup was delicious. Doesn't look that great from the inside, but the food and service was great!”

“My second time here. The food quality is good, but portion size is not. The prices are high for what you get for some entrees. The picture I have posted is a 20-dollar ½ and ½ fish and shrimp. The other picture is their appetizer crawfish boulettes. Again, the quality is good, but the portion size is below average. Additionally, I am glad to see they are one of the few restaurants around the area that have posted they charge a credit card usage fee. I think it was 3.5% on top of your local tax. Just as a reminder to those reading this, if a restaurant does not post this outside to the extent, it is very clear you are being charged and how much, you are not responsible for the charge per the law, and you should report them to the Better Business Bureau. Again, I enjoyed the food here, but I would have to opt for their specials during the week. Thank you for reading my post.”

“The chicken pesto with fusilli was hot and delicious and the portion size of the small (16oz) was enough to feed 2 people, in my opinion. I decided to try the cheesecake as well. It was very good and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The service was quick and the staff was extremely friendly.”

“Just want to say I love the aesthetic of the restaurant. The clean design makes it feel modern and high class. The open design allows for fantastic quality. This has the best chips and salsa in town, hands down. Balanced heat and savory. Please get the seafood fajitas cause wow. Crab meat on a fajita is genuinely delicious. Server was great and attentive. We will be returning here mostly as this is one of the better Mexican restaurants in town. On par with El Paso. Keep up the fantastic work.”

“Daq’s is in my eyes, a hidden gem. I love this place for many reasons. The first one being their ALWAYS delicious and juicy chicken. If you’re looking for some great chicken wings/tenders this is the place to be. They have a good selection of beer and liquor and usually a super chill crowd. The girls are nice and attentive but don’t expect overly nice staff (I don’t really mind I’m just there for the food and drinks). There is a very nice gentleman most of the time so that’s nice. Their sauces and appetizers are to die for! 100000% recommend this spot if you want to eat in a casual environment!”
