Great coffee, good food, and throwback atmosphere--old-school diner style. Plentiful portions. You won't find anything truly healthy here, though--it's all comfort food. Fantastic service. Limited seating and the line to sit gets super long on the weekends, so get there early. Cash only, but they...Read More

Can't go wrong eating breakfast here. Everything served was tasty, and have huge portions. We had the Scrambler, a single cornmeal pancake, and the French Toast. The French Toast is a pair of cinnamon rolls cut in half, and dipped as if slices of bread....Read More

It's been far too long since I've been to a "good ol' classic" kind of diner. Mickies crosses every box. Great staff, quick service, great prices, awesome diner food, and generous portion sizes. Honestly, saying "generous" is an understatement. The portion size for one scrambler...Read More

Food was very good. Order the scrambler with bacon, bellpeppers, onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños. Very delicious. Comes with toast. Also ordered a strawberry banana milkshake. Well worth it. The place is cash only. ATM up front, so readily available if you only have card.

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places in Madison so far! It’s a cute diner with a wide variety of food options. There was a 10-15min wait, but it was well worth it. I got the scrambler (includes yanks, eggs, toast, etc) and absolutely loved it....Read More
Dine inBrunch$10–20Atmosphere: 5They have quite a few vegetarian options and seem to be really willing to accommodate too. If you’re looking for a savory vegetarian breakfast (and eat eggs), I’d recommend the scrambler w/mushrooms & peppers substituted for meat and no gravy.Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree street parking

You can usually find free street parking on Monroe if you're okay walking a block or two to the restaurant. Failing that you can try your luck in the neighborhood immediately behind the restaurant.
