Description

As Midwesterners, we have--or should have--certain inalienable rights, primary among them the right to have real ice-cream malts and eggs grilled in butter 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Mickey's is just about the last place in town to recognize those constitutional guarantees: Burgers, malts, eggs all day, pancakes, Mulligan stew, sundaes, BLTs, and some darn good fries issue forth from the modest grills in a raging, corn-fed, red-white-and-blue river. Both locations are terrifically classy: The downtown one is set in an old-fashioned dining car that's been nationally praised (it's one of only two diners in the country on the National Register of Historic Places) and the other is a chrome-and-formica testament to Sputnik-age interior design (and could likewise sit in a museum).

    Remember the Mad, Mad Mexican, East Lake Street purveyor of remarkably thin enchiladas and other questionable Southwestern fare? Of course you do, because for years and years it was virtually the only middle-of-the-night alternative to Perkins,... More »

    With most diners, you eat at them because you're in the mood for comfort food, or because it's close by and you're hungry, or because you're hungover and need some greasy stomach-filler, or because it's 2 a.m. and your options are limited. Twin Citians might eat at Mickey's Dining Car for all those reasons, but mostly they eat there for the experience. The 70-year-old downtown St. Paul train car is not just a diner but an icon, a rite of passage, a throwback to simpler times. Luckily, it's... More »

    These days, the closest most people will get to eating in a train diner car is going to Mickey's Diner in the heart of downtown St. Paul. But even if this iconic diner isn't going anywhere, you should make the trip. The neon sign and promise of good, pretty cheap food attract a cross section of the Twin Cities population around the clock, and one of the place's biggest draws is the promise of breakfast anytime.

    These days, the closest most people will get to eating in a train diner car is going to Mickey's Diner in the heart of downtown St. Paul. But even if this iconic diner isn't going anywhere, you should make the trip. The neon sign and promise of good, pretty cheap food attract a cross section of the Twin Cities population around the clock, and one of the place's biggest draws is the promise of breakfast anytime. Local lore says that Mickey's, open 24 hours, has been serving up greasy-spoon fare nonstop since it opened in 1939. Mickey's is justly famous for its classic hash browns—gloriously greasy but not at all heavy, with some edges extra-crisp and the potatoes tender in the middle. Try them or the O'Brien potatoes for a perfect complement to the light and fluffy pancakes. And it's almost impossible to resist Mickey's famous mulligan stew, made from the same pre-WWII recipe as always. If all the stools at the counter are occupied, and the notoriously cramped booths are full, try Mickey's quieter second location on West Seventh Street; it's less intimate than the original but has its own '50s-era charm—and the food is just as good.
