This is the only place I want to eat breakfast when visiting Madison. I've been going here for years with my high school buddies. After a long Saturday night of partying and fun, we would wake up Sunday morning and head to Mickies.
A lot of times there's a line outside of the restaurant so get there as early as possible as it gets busy really fast The last time there was almost 15 people ahead of us and we still got a table in about 10 minutes, which is pretty good.
It's a small little diner and the menu is up against the back wall. Everything is fairly cheap, but not as cheap as the prices from the 1950s menu that they have displayed on the other wall.
The portions of the food is decent for what you're paying for. I love my omelets and I got the chili cheese omelet last time...so good!
