There's mom & pop shops, and then there's Mim’s Kitchen . Saw this place before but didn't stop until today. This place is the definition of a "Hidden Gem" A true home cooked meal in the middle of nowhere. The best meal I have ever had while traveling. Worth every penny. Better than any meal you would have at a chain restaurant. We will definitely be back for sure!
What a gem. I live for finding a place like this when I am traveling. We had driven down from the Green Bank Observatory into Marlinton on a Saturday evening. It's off the beaten path — but don't let that deter you. It's feels like a cabin in the mountains inside, and the food was just wonderful. Mim herself serves the dishes, which when we came, included meat loaf, roast beef and a chicken dish. She cooks it ALL herself! Then, you get your choice of salads, sides and an optional dessert! It tasted like a home-cooked meal I've not had in a long time! Everyone was very friendly inside, and I also appreciated that Mim's seemed like such a community spot. Friends meeting, everyone knew each other — it's hard to find that kind of vibe in New Jersey! It's worth the trip out of your way for a great, homestyle meal!
We’ve been to several restaurants in our life from fast food to high end fine dining - but Mim’s kitchen was one of the best restaurants we’ve ever experienced. The hospitality combined with this great food is just perfect. This place is a hidden gem nestled deep in the woods. We loved it and we will be back!
The food was tasty, and we expected a unique experience. Because of other reviews about the timing, we arrived for dinner (!) at 4:30 pm, and we finally got through the long wait in the line of about 20 people in front of us, and were seated at 5:30. I have never had such slow service in a cafeteria-style restaurant. By the time we finished dinner, the restaurant was "sold out." Our dinner was good, but honestly, not worth the wait.
Mim’s Kitchen was phenomenal! It is a super cute place that use to be a church, all tucked away, a gem. Service was excellent, food was delicious, all home cooked and fresh; hit the spot. Dessert was amazing as well! Mim and her team were very friendly. Great place!
My very first visit this past Friday and I loved everything about it! Literally the best home cooked meal!!! It’s a buffet style and you pick which main entree you want along with 3 sides. The desserts were absolutely delicious! All the dressings were homemade. You have to experience Mim’s for yourself!!! I will definitely be returning when I’m back in the area visiting. (Coke products are served.)
Absolutely 100% incredible meal. Our food was so fresh you can really taste it. From the salad to the main course to the dessert I was in foodie heaven. The dining area was gorgeous as well, so much love was put into every aspect of this dining experience. The owner/chef even took the time to chat with us when it came time to clear our table. I only wish I had room to try each type of cheesecake after eating my "to die for" strawberry shortcake.
My husband and I are out of towners and just so happened to stumble upon this local gem of a spot! We stopped here for lunch before heading out to fly fish. The food was wonderful, the place was cute, chic cabin, and the service was super friendly! People were wearing masks and distancing while standing in line which was great. I had the roast beef and my husband had the country ham. As a southern, I know me some roast beef since I grew up with having it every Sunday. Believe me when I say that Mim's roast beef tasted just like my dad's. And the country ham was just as good! Highly recommend this spot.
