There is also something comforting about a place that makes you feel that same warm, confortable way.
That is Mim's. They have 2 locations- Syosset & Roslyn.
Over the years, it has developed a more contemporary vibe, but it still feels like "home" whenever I dine there.
As I lived on the North shore for the better part of 20 plus years, Mim's in Syosset became a mainstay in the neighborhood, and part of my two daughter's growing up years. It was the place where families went on Monday nights for " Lots of Pasta" (still do) where you can choose from dozens of different pasta with dozens of different sauces, (all you can eat) with a salad & garlic bread- how good is that? As teenagers, all the nightborhood girls would do their birthdays there, or when the kids returned home from summer camp, it was the first place they wanted to go for the famous Brownie sundae- an incredible fudgey chocolate brownie, topped with scoops of good vanilla ice cream, mounds of fresh whipped cream & and sprinkled with lots of M&M's- OMG!
Well, the menu still contains those good old standards as well as a variety of new and fantastic fresh dishes. An amazing array of pasta dishes- my favorite happens to be the rigatoni with mouth watering sliced skirt steak, portabello mushrooms and fresh spinach in a light creamy gorgonzola sauce- its heaven!
The thin crust pizzas are so good- especially the whole wheat pizza with grilled balsamic vegetables for only $11.00. There are many great salads and great sandwiches and burgers as well.
They have great steaks, including a cowboy rib eye and many fresh fish selections, and since almost everyone wants to eat healthier, in addition to their daily & nightly specials, they have a section of " simply grilled"- fish or meat, with a choice of 2 sides.
In addition to their many homemade desserts , (which still includes the brownie sundae thank goodness!) is the most amazing SMORES! These are not just a smore on a plate- this comes in a large lazy susan with lots of Hershey Bars, Graham crackers, marshmallows & a flame with skewers to roast & toast your marshmallows & place them on top of your square of chocolate & onto your graham cracker- YUM!!!
Rich, the owner, also has a new location in Bayville, Long Island with a similar menu to Mim's, but lots of other fun items as well.
Do go!!! You will feel so good!
