I think my first visit to Mickies' was in 1992. Was the founder of Yelp even born yet?! We didn't have much of a wait on UW Spring Break Saturday morning. And Monroe Street was torn up for construction, so it was a task just getting there, perhaps keeping away the less than hearty trekkers.
Some might call Mickies a greasy spoon, except for it's impeccably clean! It's a classic diner, and breakfast is their specialty. Go for breakfast and amuse yourself- it's worth the wait.
- Banana Nut pancakes- a huge order and very yummy
- Corned Beef Hash scrambler- my dining partner loved her dish!
- Coffee was nice and bold, and refilled often by our server and others
Service is great, and breakfast was affordable, and afforded me two meals. I'll have to come back just for a milkshake.
What a Madison institution, thanks for not changing a bit, Mickies Dairy Bar!
