The casual-dining Mimi’s Café chain has introduced new fall menu offerings with two- and three-course fixed-price options, an expanded catering program, and a new all-inclusive meals for kids.

Eight new fixed-price offerings at lunch and dinner are available at Mimi’s 145 units through Oct. 20.
 
At lunch, the items are priced at a recommended $9.99 and include a choice of starter, entrée and beverage. Entrée choices include a Thai peanut chicken wrap; BBQ Chicken Flatbread; an A1 BBQ Bacon Burger; and Citrus Broiled Shrimp and Asparagus.

At dinner, a starter, entrée and “petite treat” are priced at a recommended $12.99. New entrée options include Basil Pesto Shrimp Skewers; Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl; Roasted Chicken and Asparagus Ravioli; and Soy Glazed Salmon and Asparagus.
 
Mimi’s also is adding to catering options with more to-go selections for breakfast — many of which are now available in five- and 10-serving options along with plates, utensils and condiments. New breakfast catering items include flatbread wraps, ham-and-cheddar croissants, and ciabatta breakfast sandwiches.

In addition, coupons are available online at www.MimisCafe.com offering a buy one breakfast entrée, get another one free.

For kids ages 12 and under, Mimi’s is offering three new all-inclusive meals — two mini cheeseburgers; cheese or pepperoni flatbread pizzas; or grilled chicken and vegetables. Available at lunch and dinner, most are priced under $5 and include an entrée and side dish, a drink and an Oreo Dirt Cup dessert.

Based in Irvine, Calif., the Mimi’s chain is owned by Columbus, Ohio-based Bob Evans Farms Inc.
