For those who do want the weekend brunch thing but do not want to endure the wait, call ahead and get takeout. I'd say sacrificing the dining experience in this regard is well worth the good food.
Now Mickie's is straight up no fuss breakfast food, and that is a philosophy that champions well. On a given day, I am by no means a "fancy" breakfast food person, so I welcome Mickie's philosophy with open arms. The essential Mickie's item that is a must try is of course their scrambler, which is a heaping omelette on top of a heaping pile of the most fluffy, buttermilk potatoes (yanks) you will ever eat. Oh, and it comes with a mountain of gravy and toast as well. The scrambler is definitely a multi-meal endeavor, and for $7-8, it is definitely worth the price. Pancakes are also a good choice, but keep in mind these aren't the traditional stack you would get at an i-Hop. These are gargantuan in diameter and are more dense than what you would normally expect. For $6, this is again a multi-meal endeavor. You can get tired of it quick though, so I personally recommend the more savory items.
Now there will be customers who see the food here as too generic and too simple, but keep in mind that it is not execute simple things easily, especially when it comes to food, so take these criticisms with a grain of salt, and realize that after all is said and done, Mickie's is one of the best places in town.
