| - I saw this place on the TV show College Eats and told myself the next time I was in Madison, I was going there to try their legendary Scrambler. Recently I was in Madison for my Granddaughter's State Gymnastics Meet so I took the family to Mickies for breakfast.
I was surprised at how small the place was, but we were there early and we got seated immediately. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel more like a guest than a customer.
They do not have menus at the table, it is on the back wall which made it a little difficult to read from our table since we were at the back of the restaurant, but with the waitress's help everyone quickly got their orders in. The food was delivered quickly and it was hot.
Needless to say I ordered the Scrambler which is, I guess to be, about two whole pounds of eggs, potatoes, sausage, melted cheese and gravy. I added bell peppers, onions mushrooms and jalapenos. With the other ingredients they offer you could probably make this into a three pound creation. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Since I couldn't finish it, I had it for breakfast for the next two days and it was almost as good when reheated.
My wife had the whole wheat pancakes, which were the size of the plate and about 1/2 inch thick. The bacon was crisp, just the way she likes it. Probably because of the size of the pancakes, they serve the syrups in juice pictures.
The rest of the family enjoyed their meal as well.
When in Madison, this is one place that is a must stop if you want a good breakfast of natural food well cooked and served in a very friendly environment.
