Mickies Dairy Bar

One of those iconic places you have to try to stop at while in Madison. The restaurant opened in the late 1940s and the original menu and price list is still on the wall. They are known for their huge portion sizes so come hungry. One pancake was enough for my wife. My son could only finish half a skillet. The coffee cake looks like it was made in a lasagna pan! Try the French toast. Made from battered cinnamon rolls. delicious! Be prepared to wait in line. Service is pretty quick so patience will pay off.

Mickies is a classic. Dinner with very generous portions. Love the choices for breakfast. Hard to go wrong do eat a cinnamon roll but the Coffee cake particularly blueberry very good. Bring cash although ATM available and remember it's worth the wait

Stopped by on a Thursday morning for breakfast. Very classic 50s diner atmosphere. It felt like home even thought it was my first visit. The food portions are huge and fair on price. Highly recommend!!!

Always amazing...but this time...there was NO line! We got nearby street parking and that was also a plus. As there was no line, and we were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive the waiter started a conversation with us and we were able to share how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication to create the magic that happens on a weekend morning at Mickies Dairy Bar;)

Notorious classic, greasy spoon diner across Camp Randall Stadium. Always busy, always friendly and the food is always good. The fried pork chop plate is delicious and is wonderfully seasoned. The pancakes are thick and wholesome. A destination eatery when visiting Madison. Cash only.
