I had been meaning to try Mickies for a while now but the weekend crowds - visible as a line out the door - have kept me away. Now that I made it, I see what the magic is - cheap, straightforward diner meal with all the comfort of someplace unique and local and a solid cup of dark coffee. Your food isn't going to be that much different than a Denny's but the vibe and service make it much more enjoyable. Loved the build-your-own omelette and the old school mannerisms of our server. If you've been watching too much Twin Peaks and have to get your diner fix, only 3 spots in town will cut it - the Curve, Willalbys, or right here at Mickie's Dairy Bar.
Unless you truly love crowds, save your trip for a weekday.
