Mickies is an institution, hence it gets 5 star reviews from devotees and two star reviews from people who stumble in by accident. A couple important points: 1. Portions are large to huge. If you order a Scrambler you will get enough food for a pro football lineman. 2. Coffee cake, often ignored by newbies, is great. 3. Actual coffee... More

First time visitor based on previous reviews. Had only a 5 minute wait on a Saturday (non-game) morning. Atmosphere was crowded but fun to sit at counter. Food was mediocre at best. Had to reorder because my daughter didn't even like the chocolate chip pancakes! Just didn't understand why everyone is excited about this place.

Mickie's Dairy Bar is a classic right-of-passage to all students and families who visit the beautiful city of Madison. Home to several homestyle favorites like Pancakes, French toast, and their delicious Cinnamon Rolls, along with their signature Scramblers! You get a LOAD of food for a great price! You're gonna have to get there early on weekends though, because this... More

Order the reuben omelet, you won't be disappointed. One of the best breakfasts I have had. Great little hole in the wall a short distance from UW campus, highly recommended. Great food, friendly service.

I went to grad school in Madison 20 years ago and Mickie's was a favorite for breakfast.... IF you could get in. Visited again this weekend and nothing has changed. The pancakes are still huge (and a little doughy), the coffee is nonstop and the service is friendly.

Yummy pancakes! Great value for money and the server was all smiles even though the place was packed and she had difficulty just getting to her tables.

wonderful little hole in the wall next to Camp Randall Stadium. Great pancakes. Very good service. We only visited for breakfast. (You've seen this place on football pregame shows).

You seat yourselves in this diner. The menu is located at the back wall of the restaurant. The portions are very generous and the prices are decent. We ordered the blueberry pancakes and the scrambler with corned beef. Both were yummy but not exceptional. I couldn't finish my pancakes (there were 2 and very big and thick) so I would... More

No hostess, so if you are going here on a weekend morning or game day, don't go starving because you will probably have to wait a while. But it's soooo worth it. The pancakes are always good and the scramblers are unique and delicious as well. Staff is always very polite and friendly. Also very worth the cost, two giant... More
