Mini Gourmet

While I’ve frequented Mini Gourmet for decades from grabbing breakfast late night to lunch or dinner at the counter, and my grandparents were regulars since way back in the day, today was our first time back after their remodel and reopening. Plenty of parking, clean dining room, affordable menu options, friendly and prompt service, and besides the beautiful remodel, it reminded me of old times. San Jose cafe hospitality at its finest. Glad to add them back into our rotation for breakfast spots…and looking forward to my next lunch or dinner there too.

Short Review: Lovely small family owned diner. Beautifully remodeled and decorated. They serve a large variety of American classics like eggs Benedict, omelettes, steak, and burgers. They have a good selection of soft drinks, fruit juices, wine, margaritas, as well as domestic and imported beers. Lovely place with fair pricing is what you’ll get when you come here. They accept card and cash for anybody who may be curious. Long review: Immediately upon entering, I was greeted by the waitress. Very lovely staff I was seated immediately and given the menu. The order for my drink was taken, and I was given a few minutes to look at the menu to see what I would like. They had a huge selection of different types of food, mostly American dishes. They also offered a small selection of classic Vietnamese soup dishes. They also have a small dessert menu, which include items like pie cake, and ice cream. The restaurant was very clean and well organized. The area was spacious and not cluttered. Within 10 to 15 minutes of ordering my food was ready, piping hot, and fresh. The portion sizes are huge, so the price point is very fair. They are not overpriced, which is great because a lot of places are over pricing these days. Highly recommend 10 / 10. Constructive Suggestion: The omelette was absolutely delicious. My only suggestion would be to lighten up on the salt, just a little. Other than that everything was mouthwateringly delicious.

Great little restaurant! Bigger on the inside than on the outside! Friendly service, fresh food.

A quiet Sunday afternoon. Had a delicious breakfast and server. A little pricey but people hook you up when you treat your waiters like humans, Karens.

Updated review: (four-ish stars) Based on the owner's response, (and the fact that they are now open in the evening) we went back and gave it one more chance. This time the food was pretty good - they did char the onions on my sausage/pepper/onion omelet, and one round of toast went missing, but overall everything was hot & edible. The coffee was good. They are still having staffing issues - there was only one guy valiantly serving the entire restaurant on a Friday night. We were warned when we came in, but it was even slower than predicted. Original review: (two stars) My happiness at seeing an old favorite restaurant re-open after a long closure didn't last long - the country potatoes were COLD and GREASY (the cardinal sin of breakfast fare). We had the Joe's Scramble and the 3-Meat Scramble, both of those were decently prepared but small portions. Toast was dry, coffee was on the bitter side. Service was bare-minimum and distracted - they kept trying to give regular coffee to someone drinking decaf. The overall tab was the same as our other regular breakfast places, but we got about half as much food (which wasn't as good), so I don't think we'll be back (unless they bring back the late night hours & menu).

Stopped in for a quick breakfast while I was working in San Jose. It was great! Service was awesome food was very good and I liked the atmosphere. Chicken fried steak and gravy was excellent! I always have to have a pancake too, it didn't disappoint. I always order my hash browns extra crispy and most places dont make it happen this place nailed it! I Definitely will stop back in again next time I'm in town.

Newly renovated restaurant. Great service and nice food. I want to visit again.

First of all thank you for being open at 1:30 in the am on Saturday nite/Sunday a.m. posted hours are 3 am.. me and my guys like to have fun and well we did. The mini gourmet pushed out traditionally good food. Check this out, I enjoyed a generous portion of Chilequiles and my two friends had the same thing Steak And eggs. But not just steak and eggs, they each chose the $3 upgrade to Wagyu beef and eggs ( Wagyu beef is highly revered for its vast fat deposits, commonly referred to as marbling. When examining Wagyu beef, it will appear rich in large fatty streaks throughout every cut.) good was the definitely mu h better than any other 230 a.m. option and more. Enjoyed the service immensely.was. Was nice, Blondie. She had a pleasant, fun, bit quirky, nice disposition. And was good at her job and enjoyed our dumb attempts of humor. I.in fact she invited us to come back hang another time. This experience was definitely worth it And way beats most of the Support local business! The tragic thing is we were a table of 3 which equalled or exceeded combined customers other than us. So support local LETS GO!!!!l come on late night crowd let's fill this place up or go back to mid nite greasy supposed huagover curing tacos from Jacks! Instead reasonably authentic diner food and enviroment and a
