There are few places in Madison that match Mickey's Dairy Bar for breakfast. The place is historically marvelous. It's like stepping back in time. You can enjoy classic diner decor. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. It's hard to go wrong with any of the classic breakfast and lunch items on the menu. My recommendation goes out to the SCRAMBLER - a behemoth mountain of fried potato, egg, cheese, meat and veggies smothered in Gravy. You'll also enjoy their pancake (singular) that overshadows the plate. A single pancake is a meal. Huge portions of coffee cake and cinnamon rolls are also available. On weekends -- and when there are Badger home games -- be prepared to wait for a table. It's a small restaurant. It's worth the wait, tho!
