Saturday late night and no one was really there, I'd more like Not Busy. Waitress was prompt, friendly & on it with her job, seeing that she was the only one waiting on all the tables in the restaurant. This place has a so many things on the menu & that just means, it's a little something for everybody & whatever it is you get, you won't be disappointed. I'm glad this place re opened because for a minute, they were closed & not going to re open. This is a place to go, if you're undecided on what to eat, but you will be satisfied. Parking is super small & gets tight, so if it gets busy, you'll have to park elsewhere but, if you are in the area & your craving something, stop by this place & check it out.

We used to go here years ago and then it closed down. Went again recently while I was waiting for my husband to get some medical testing done right next door. Just got some french fries and a drink and I did some work on my computer for about 2 hours. Food and service were great. They let me work for a couple hours with a minimum purchase. Will definitely go back again.

This Mini Gourmet restaurant used to be one of my favorites when I was younger. Then they closed down for about 5 years and after their long hiatus they are back in business and I'm so glad. Stopped in yesterday for some breakfast and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. It was clean, well lit, great service , and the food was excellent. The portions were big and the prices were reasonable. My wife had the Joe's omelette and I had the waffle combo. Needless to say I finished everything on my plate. If you want a place that has great breakfast,lunch and dinner then the Mini gourmet fits the bill. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

The chicken fried steak is excellent here. The gravy truly makes the dish. If you've ever ordered chicken fried steak and felt underwhelmed, give theirs a try. I would also recommend the french dip. The sandwich and the au jus felt a bit greasy, but you won't really care at 2 am. Easily my favorite late night diner in the area.

Hey there Party People, I have always been a person that loves a good hole in the wall Dinner. The Mini Gourmet fits the bill to a tea but with a modern clean interior. The waitress treated you like you were family. She gave great suggestions and was very honest about the menu...much appreciated. Hubby got the homemade chili to start. He really liked it. It had the perfect ratio of meat to bean, which is very difficult to hit, according to hubby. It had great flavor as well. For the main meal Hubby had the French Dip. The meat was pretty lean and not dried out so the flavor was there. The au jus sauce was on point. Over all Hubby gave the 4 out of 5 I got the Philly Cheese Steak with light peppers. The Roll it came on was super soft and delicious it held up to the juices and didn't get soggy, always a plus. The meat had some small fatty bits but over all was excellent super tasty. Putting this place on the map of good old fashion comfort food. Will definitely make this in the rotation of places to eat. They do have a large vegetarian and pho menu as well. Be kind to one another

It's been decades since the last time I came here! This place has been around since the 80's. We were at the farmers market in Campbell in the morning and on the way home stopped here for lunch. The place looked nicely remodeled, and the hostess and servers were all really friendly and smiling! We were sat right away, and I ordered the open faced Turkey sandwich which according to the menu had home cooked turkey. It came with mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetables and a cup of soup. The soup was shrimp corn chowder and came beautifully presented on a plate with a pack of oyster crackers. The soup was very delicious and homemade tasting and I loved it! The main meal came and it was very obvious that the turkey was uber thin sliced deli turkey. It was very disappointing.... the bread was regular white bread, the mashed potatoes were good as was the gravy and a nice portion of mixed vegetables. My husband and daughter enjoyed their breakfast. I would definitely come back and try some more things!

Mini Gourmet at 599 South Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95128 Willow Glen is back after being closed for 5 years. It's the same owner but due to Covid, a fire, and renovations, it's been a long road to recovery. For now, they are open for breakfast and lunch only. My wife and I have eaten here twice so far, for lunch and breakfast, and both times the food was really good, especially the BBQ beef brisquit. The steamed broccoli really hit the spot along with the home made potato salad and cole slaw The breakfast visit we ordered the pancake combo with their home fried potatoes and french toast. Everything tasted home made, especially the salsa and pico de gallo. The restaurant is super clean and has undergone new paint and bar chairs. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. The chef is happy to do any modifications to your order. It is definitely a family place with plenty of parking. I took several pictures to show how nice the interior and exterior is. (See Attached). I also want to mention their in house bakery. The key lime pie is my wife's favorite. Yes, they have cinnamon rolls. This is a must try place!
