| - This has long been a favorite for me, and is now so for my son as well. Standing order if a buttermilk pancake, bacon, fruit, and OJ for him and it's the perfect size breakfast for a growing boy. Standing order for me is a cornmeal pancake, patty sausage, yanks with onions and jalapenos, and an iced tea. I usually have some left overs, which is fine because it's such an affordable place. It's an old place with TONS of character (some of which is not great...tiny bathroom...). We always try to sit at the counter, but frequently the restaurant is PACKED and you may not have a choice of where to sit. As long as you party isn't too large and the line isn't too long it's probably worth waiting, but good luck on game day.
When I was working on campus I used to pop in here for lunch about once a week or so and it was always great for lunch as well. Soups were delicious, hearty, and warming on those cold winter days; highly recommended.
Really I've enjoyed most everything I've had at Mickies and never been there with anyone that felt differently. The one exception may be the french toast, which was VERY eggy.
It's a 'greasy spoon' in all the right ways. Definitely worth a look!
