Mickey's Diner

We were in MN for some sporting events and decided to stop in. The breakfast was good. Kind of reminded me of our Waffle Houses in the South except this is in an actual dining car. There's a free parking lot specifically for Mickey's customers. Amen for that! We walked in at 9 with open seating. It filled up just after that. Emily did a great job getting everyone situated and ordered! I was thoroughly impressed by Mohammed's hash brown flipping skills! The food was good, albeit a little greasy. The open kitchen was kept decently clean, my coffee was always filled, and the food was cooked exactly to order. The portions are hefty and the prices are appropriate. It was cool to visit this historical landmark. I didn't even know Mickey's was famous as a filming location and I worked in the cities for a year.

Excited we were finally able to stop into this landmark! Its cute and a fun experience. Food was ok. We will probably try something different if we go back. The cook was really friendly and made the experience better! The pancakes were great! We also ordered an omelet and ham and cheese sandwich. The kids loved sitting at the counter. Definitely stop in if you haven't been here yet!

Can't believe the place is still open, honestly. And very sadly, because it used to be a great spot before it got sold. Went with my child to get a shake and a breakfast, the place was so filty and ridiculously expensive that we just left without ordering. I'm attaching photos to show the level of dirt and the menu prices. They charge $20 for a triple (only 1/4 lb) burger and for chicken and waffles! Had to rub my eyes when saw it.. then saw the $7 for a fake latte (from a machine that makes super cheap imitation beverages- also pictured). The finest restaurants in Minnesota don't charge more than $6 for a latte. How did they come up with those prices? That dirty shake machine was just sitting there I could tell it was old dirt, no one had just used it, or the eggs that were just sitting out (we were there for about 10 minutes before we left). Weird weird experience.

A must when in St. Paul. A wonderful dining experience in a converted train cab. The staff are very friendly and the service quick. The food is very good. If you sit at the counter, you're literally right next to the flat top. Both breakfast and lunch are very good having been here multiple times while visiting. It can be hard to find a seat as it dies get busy. There is ample parking in a lot right next to it.

We found this place just randomly, by searching restaurants around our hotel, and i have to say it was an amazing experience. My 11 year old son has never seen a traditional diner. Well this thing was a beauty. I had to explain what that thing in the wall was (coin operated jukebox). Super cool vibe. We had double stack pancakes, Cluck N Chuck Burger and Mickeys Sputnik Burger. We weren't even that hungry but we devoured our food withing 10-15 mins. Burger patty's we're tender, delicious and super juicy. I always say the messier the burger the better it is. This was one of the best damn burgers I've ever had. Must visit if youre in St.Paul, MN.

I've walked past here a banch of time's, but never stopped in. Today I was CRAVING a party melt and this place completely satisfied that craving. So often, the bread to beef ratio at restaurants is so out of wack with their party melts, but it was perfection here. The patty was well seasoned and the onions and cheese were perfect. The staff was great and the place was unique as well. I will be back!!

Fun local place to hit up, have breakfast and talk with strangers. Seating is quite limited so make sure to come in quite early or you will be waiting... Food portions are quite hearty too. The ambience is the best thing about it!

Atmosphere: 5/5 The diner is built from an old train car and has a very cool retro interior. It's clean and well maintained but looks like it's been exactly the same since it opened which is very fun. They also had great music playing. Furniture: 4/5 They had booths but it seems most of the seating is at the counter on diner style bar stools which are affixed to the floor. They're plenty comfortable but I found them to be a little slick and they also don't spin very well but it wasn't a problem. Dishware: 4/5 No complaints. Everything was just fine. Food: 5/5 Portion sizes are very generous and the food was delicious. There were two of us and after the meals, drinks, and tip, the total was about $40 which was very reasonable for the amount of food we got. Staff: 5/5 No complaints at all! Staff was great. They checked on us just enough and got us our food fairly quickly considering how busy they were. (I use the Restaurant Rubric™ for all my reviews which is why it's formatted this way)

if you go Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and have Ahmed as your cook and Shanta as your server, it will be enjoyable time out. The fries were cooked in hot enough oil so they weren't greasy the burger. They didn't have chicken to go with the he offered me chicken wings, which was fine and wonderful wonderful chicken. The dipping sauce was outstanding made by Ahmed. Shanta left our food checked back right away kept all of our drinks refilled and made sure we got dessert with the best attitude you can find. I can't say enough about these two having been a waiter for many years in my younger days. My wife and I went there once before and my pancakes were overdone and our fries and burger. We're both so greasy that we were both sick when we got home. We thought we gave it a second try and we are glad we did. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Mickey's diner in Saint Paul with Shanta and Ahmed. You won't regret it.

Mickey's Diner is a classic! It's been located in this spot since 1960. Mickey's is an original retro diner beloved by everyone in the Twin Cities area. It's open 24/7 with ample parking. There are booths and tables to sit at. On weekends it can get very busy. The staff is amazing and friendly. The moment we entered we were welcomed. Mickey's definitely has a family vibe for everyone to enjoy. We ordered a Veggie Omelette and the Earth's Special (hashbrowns, cheese, onions, tomatoes). The portions are huge and price point is very good considering price inflation everywhere in dining. We recommend everyone to try Mickey' Diner. There is a huge menu for everyone to find something that makes them happy. Enjoy!

What can I say? A true St Paul classic. I used to work in downtown St Paul and Mickey's was definitely a place to go. Honestly I haven't been to this iconic place in years but I have fond memories. You can sit cheek to cheek with other customers while you watch the cooks perform their tasks and maneuver their way from griddle to counter and back or sit away from the counter and get more traditional service. Either way it's pretty crowded and depending upon day and time you could see quite a line ahead of you. Grub is hearty (arguably not heart healthy but whatever) pretty straightforward diner fare. And is a decent value as I recall. Coffee is darn good. Its fun to reminisce but now I'm inspired to try a more recent experience. Parking can get a bit dicey. Friendly people. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but you have to try it at least once if you're in the vicinity.

You don't come to Mickey's Diner for a culinary revelation--you come for the experience. The food? It's classic diner food: eggs, pancakes, burgers, and hash browns that are perfectly average and exactly what you expect. Nothing fancy, nothing groundbreaking. But that's not the point. The real magic is in everything that happens around the food. The neon-lit railcar exterior, the sizzle from the flat-top grill, the clatter of dishes, the banter between regulars and staff--it's like stepping into a living postcard from the 1940s. (It used to be 24/7 but not anymore) but there's always a story unfolding at the counter. You'll see night owls, tourists, cops grabbing coffee, and maybe someone philosophizing over a plate of toast. Also, there have been known to be some movies filmed there, and some stars stop in. It's gritty, nostalgic, and weirdly comforting. Mickey's is less about what's on the plate and more about the vibe that comes with it. If you're looking for a slice of St. Paul character, this is it. Just don't expect gourmet--expect charm.

I love breakfast food and the fact that I can get it here any time of day, and it's fresh huge helpings for a great price, amazing! Plus it's fun to watch the magic happen right in front of your eyes if you sit at the bar, simply great service. The story of where the car came from is icing on the cake! Can't wait to go back. Enjoy!

How could you not. This place is the original classic. Breakfast is the specialty, the americas favorite has it all with eggs any meat, hash browns and of course toast. The bread is very fresh. Expect to wait in line during normal times like 10am for breakfast, space is limited. Also the movie jingle all the way with Arnold was filmed here. The best!

Had never been here but always heard it was great. Finally got the opportunity to go with some friends for a birthday. We all walked in and sat down. Got our orders in quickly and they cooked it up. I got a omelet and a pancake. Omelet was OK, they burned my bacon, but the pancake was perfection. Love the look from the outside and the feel of a old school diner on the inside. Staff was friendly and took care of our big group easily. Will definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

Good service. A sweet older woman was our waitress. Very attentive and kind. The place is small and a little cramped but the local folks are kind and friendly. The food is HORRIBLE. I ordered an omelette which was so sub par. Did not come with toast or potatoes. The place is a halal diner now (ya know, Minnesota) and that makes the "bacon" and sausage turkey instead of pork. Both are dry and chewy. It was expensive. 80 bucks for 3 adults and a toddler. All had eggs. I definitely would not recommend. If you go, you'll surely agree.

I'm so happy the iconic Mickey's dinner in downtown St Paul was able to open back up. This place is a part of history. I love the old converted train car! Breakfast is served all day and is really great portion sized for the price! I was made a specialty coffee drink at our visit and it was coffee shop quality. The staff is very friendly even when they are really busy! The seating is minimal and my favorite place to sit is right at the counter! They do not take reservations and the parking is only able to hold a handful of patrons.

Mickey's diner does not disappoint if you are looking for a classic diner vibe. It was very easy getting a spot at the booth and food came out pretty quick. I got the chilly with my grilled cheese but it was very cold. The staff heated it up in the microwave and it was good to go.

Diners should have real beacon and sausage. Thus place had all turkey options. Not the same place it was in the past from the past. Very disappointed in the changes. The bathrooms are horrible and getting to them you risk your life due to stairs. We will not be back.

Went here for a breakfast on our way home. Ambiance gets 5*, you are truly stepping back into time. After that, it is just Ok. I will say that this place makes Waffle House look like a hospital as far as cleanliness. This place needs a serious deep cleaning. As for the food, the beef bacon was very good. No pork in this establishment. Everything else was just solidly executed breakfast food.

Seems like an institution that's been. Inform history. Quaint little diner, with a diner type breakfast menu. Out of a few items but still overall a worthwhile visit for a couple of out of towners.

Went here today (7/30/25) Love Mickey's Diner in St Paul! I had Mickey's Sputnik burger! My friend had blueberry pancakes! Great service! Love the ambiance of the diner!

Let me see first of all that I think the waitress Tristan is awesome. I'm sure I spelled her name wrong. Lol. And even the gruff cook, probable owner, was great to me last time because I didn't have enough money for my bill and he covered for me. But I have to admit that every time I go here, I am literally in the bathroom for days afterwards. This last time, I had to take 3 days off of work! Yes it was super intense. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke but now I'm kind of thinking that it's got to be something in the food. I don't think I can risk going back here. I almost went to the hospital because I was so weak after this last experience. I wish them every success but maybe they need to clean the fryer out more often?

Good to come back here after so many years. The service was efficient and friendly. The space was worn and cramped but not messy. I ordered the One eyed jack and it came out quickly. I wish there was a bit more meat than a slice of ham but overall it wasn't pretty good. I loved the hashbrowns! The food was tasty and little greasy, exactly like you'd expect from a diner.

What a super cool spot! It's your Classic dinner. The spot was super cool, the staff was great and the food was exactly what you want ur dinner experience to be. My 12 year old said it was the best breakfast he has ever had. We are a hockey family and knowing scenes from Mighty Ducks were filmed here was super cool. If ur not going to Mickeys you are missing out on a super cool experience.

Mickey's Diner was (past tense) an institution and the best late night diner in St Paul. Mickey's used to be open 24/7, 7-days a week, 365 days a year forever until Covid or more appropriately The State of Minnesota shut them down for Covid. Now finally reopened! I truly had high hopes, but the family diner sold. Mickey's is reopened but without bacon, without ham, without sausage. I mean without REAL bacon, REAL ham and REAL sausage. No pork products at all. Sad day in the U.S.A. Imitation bacon, imitation sausage. No pork products. Imitation beef bacon & imitation turkey bacon. This is not the Icon that was the original Mickey's Diner. It is fake like it's bacon. It's not even open 24/7? The original Icon Mickey's never closed until Minnesota closed it down and now it looks like it's lost forever.

Awful, awful, awful.....and to add insult to injury, a grilled cheese with bacon sandwich was $13.99!!!!! The cheese was not melted, the bread was soggy, and the bacon was burnt. I have been to plenty of diners in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and this was the worst.

REPOSTED Located in downtown St. Paul on the corner of Saint Peter and seventh, this is Americana at its finest! Open for 70 years straight without a break until the pandemic, the diner has just (unofficially) reopened and is serving limited hours. Iconic to have entertained dozens of celebrities who make it a destination when they're in the area. Featured on Food Network, Alton Brown's feasting on asphalt and man versus his food to name. A few, this diner has appeared in multiple culinary magazines. Breakfast served all day long, plenty of comfort food available , not a stop for folks that are trying to stay on a diet! The diner has four tables and a rail car long counter, so be prepared to wait for a seat if you show up at peak hours! Even if you're lucky enough to grab a seat pretty quickly, this is not a place for those that are in a hurry! Comfort food takes plenty of time, so be patient. Prices are what you would expect these days, plenty of caffeinated beverages, no alcohol at this location. Parking in the area is limited to meter street parking or parking garages. Art Deco style is definitely a throwback and definitely fits all categories that covers Zagat, best Hole in the Wall, and a favorite of the Twin Cities, to name a few. Diner is standard comfort food fare. Check it out and inhale some history

The flash of the past train car dining! Fresh coffee great service and the famous Ibrien hash browns.? Easily a line out the doors for breakfast and a casual place to eat. Minimal parking invert so get there early.?

If you're going for basic American breakfast and a nostalgic diner car experience this is your place. Anything outside of that I don't recommend.

Terrible. Wait outside in the cold and they never open. Go elsewhere, since Mickeys os closed.

Classic, legendary establishment. Pancakes were good. Place was small, but you could tell that from the the outside. Service was wonderful.

The food, quaint setting in a converted rail car, and the staff all combine to make a great and unique old-fashioned dining experience.

Love their "Blueberry Pancake " breakfast .. So glad they are BACK & Open as I missed this ..PAT W

T bacon, T sausage, T ham, figure it out!!! No pork, dirty place!! Can't believe anyone would recommend

Mickey's is back open again with a soft opening. It hasn't changed much at all. The place was busy and the food was great .

ITS TURBO TIME!!!! I love this place. I came here for a late dinner around 6pm and it was my 1st time. It wasn't packed at all due to the holidays which was great. Plenty of free parking so I loved it. The food was incredible. I got a simple hamburger, fries and soda and all of it was delicious! The staff were professional and friendly. The atmosphere and decor of this old diner was incredible. I felt like I traveled back to the 1930s. FYI Mickey's Diner was featured in the movie, JINGLE ALL THE WAY. I highly recommend this place!!!

Historic diner with lunch counter style seating in a rail car. Amazing and friendly staff who were attentive and efficient and fun. I ordered the homemade fries, a great burger and I got to try Biscoff cookie shake that was not on the menu. All were delicious.

Absolutely delicious! Staff are great! Service is awesome! I will be back now that everything is reopened!! I might come when they are open at night! I'll be back

Classic American diner--a true time capsule. I enjoyed my triple burger and fries! Great vibe!

4-Stars for this Minnesota-tourist! So I LOVE retro, nostalgic things... I've seen Mickey's on a few Food Network shows & the Mighty Ducks movies so stopping by was a must for my visit to St. Paul! It was about a 20 minute drive from Downtown Minneapolis. It has its own small parking lot and it across the street from both the Minnesota Children's Museum and Juvenile Hall (no, I'm not joking!)! So going in I think you have to be prepared for the following: 1) You might have a parking problem if that small lot is full 2) The diner is TINY inside- there's the counter with about 15-20 stools and about 4 small tables! Like one reviewer had mentioned before me, if you have a wheelchair or a large party this Mickey's location probably won't work for you. 3) Unless you get super luck and come at an off-time, you'll probably have a wait. 4) Don't come expecting amazing, delicious food- you're here for the ambiance, nostalgia, & experience! That said, I had a great time here! I grabbed a stool at the counter and had fun reading about Mickey's history in the menu. Service is sassy & it's fun to people watch! I ended up ordering a bowl of mulligan stew & an Arnold Palmer. The most amazing meal I've ever had? Of course not! But it was a great bowl of classic American diner fare on a chilly afternoon! So nostalgic- it was like eating mom's home cooking. Everyone else seemed to be ordering breakfast or burgers. The best part of this whole meal was getting to step back in time and experience this little retro diner! You definitely don't run into many places like this anymore & this one was truly a gem for anyone who appreciates history/depression-era shtick! There are a few souvenirs you can take home with you- super heavy $7 coffee mugs or postcards. SO glad I took the time to visit~ would definitely come back if I'm ever in Minnesota again!

Food: This place is FAMOUS for its classic, delicious diner food. However when I finally tried this place a few weeks ago, I was slightly disappointed. I ordered the steak (medium) + eggs and the meat game out well done and pretty tough. My boyfriend got the chili omelette which was pretty flavorless. He's been here plenty times with raging success, so it's possible we were here on an off day, although it was Sunday. Venue: For the rare few who don't know already, it's a first come first serve diner car that only accepts cash. There's a small parking lot too.

N O S T A L G I A L I V E S H E R E Wow, hasn't changed since the last time I was here in 1967. True story. But I didn't dine and dash this time :-) Teenagers, jeez! The menu proudly boasts that the eggs are prepared in BUTTER!! So my scrambled eggs were wonderful, and the buttermilk pancakes were so eggy they were yellow. The bacon was cooked to order, and I can't complain, decent quality bacon. The individual tabletop jukeboxes had all old songs on them, not sure if they work. The booths and pretty much everything else were well worn, but that fact only added to the ambience. Our blonde waitress was unflappable no matter what anyone sent her way. There seemed to be a couple cooks, and a busboy. This is a well oiled (buttered) working machine. This was an experience, not a gastronomical delight. Expect the people watching to be the BEST part. Sit back, enjoy the meal, savor all the nuances, and check this place off your list. TOO SCARED TO USE THE RESTROOM

Stopped at Mickey's one morning for breakfast with my foodie buddy before our meeting. The location we were going was providing breakfast but with Mickey's so close we opted for the better breakfast. I'd been to Mickeys a few times over the years but the last time was at least 10 years ago. Wow, its been that long. I've always ordered breakfast and always ordered the same thing. I keep saying that I should try lunch or dinner sometime but I do enjoy their breakfast and haven't got up the courage to dry something different yet. I always get their Denver omelette with O'brien Potatoes. The omelette's at Mickey's are huge. Easily enough for a couple of meals. They are also fluffy and light. I've had a lot of omelettes in my day and the omelette here at Mickey's is one of the biggest and fluffiest. I also love their O'brien potatoes with real potatoes. This is all served with some toast. This is big breakfast. Mickey's is definitely a St Paul institution. Nothing like eating in a diner with all that history. They are open 24 hours not I just need to try lunch or dinner sometime. But I do enjoy that breakfast.

My friend and I wanted to try this place out since we've seen it on tv, in music videos, and know tons of celebrities have also sat in the very same seats we did! We were also craving diner food/breakfast so this seemed like the perfect spot. The car is great - aesthetically pleasing both on the outside and inside. There isn't a ton of seating, but that's all part of the experience (I think). I ordered the all-favorite breakfast-type deal with sausage patties and they were delicious. I usually go with bacon, but that day I was feeling saucy! The eggs were so buttery and fluffy and the hash browns were typical "diner" hash browns. Unfortunately, I could only eat maybe half of the hash browns they gave me since all the outer portions were charred/burnt. But the complete star of the plate were the two slices of raisin bread slathered in butter. These two slices made everything worth it: the wait, the burnt hash browns, and the small dining car. I would order the raisin bread time and time again. Yum. Overall, I'm glad I get to say I've been to Mickey's Diner. However, I don't know that it was better than other diner food I've had. I'll be back for that raisin bread though!

After almost 5 years of living in the Cities, I finally got around to trying out Mickey's Diner and I have to say that it will probably be my last. It's my best guess that the regulars and nostalgia keep this place going. The size of the interior didn't throw me--I expected small--but the garbage all over the floor sure did. So. Much. Trash. It made it hard to enjoy eating when it just felt gross in there--but eat we did. I got America's Favorite All-Day Meal with scrambled eggs, bacon, wheat toast, and hashbrowns. I also got a chocolate shake because that's clearly what you get to go with breakfast. The food was good--nothing spectacular, the service was good, but the lack of sanitation going on in that dining car will deter me from going back.

First time here. Got there right at shift exchange so we had to wait 15 mins but enjoyed the atmosphere. Staff very friendly and joked with us and very attentive during our wait. Our party of 3 ordered and food was prepared in front of us and came fast. Waiter Keith was fun and kept a nice conversation with us all as we enjoyed the meals. Was in town for a hockey game from Omaha to see our Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Wild and surely will be back to eat here.

Overall disappointed in the quality of the whole meal. Food wasn't cooked through all the way and the salad was sitting in water.

Racists. I went there for lunch with a friend once. Pre-pandemic. I didn't end up eating the food I was served. Here's why. My friend and I had been working on a fire damaged home. I am a bearded white male. I was somewhat dirty from working on a burnt home. Before they would take my order, I was repeatedly questioned about 'where I'm from'. I said Minneapolis. They said "No! Like what country are you from man! Jesus!" This was said with a loud voice. Like maybe I didn't understand english.........anyway it kept on like this for some time before they would take my order. You get the idea.

This is a must if you're in St. Paul. It's a place shown on The Mighty Ducks.. and it peaked my interest when I watched the movie before visiting St. Paul. It is within walking distance of the Xcel Center and has some of the best greasy spoon food you could find. The seating is tight, so don't be surprised if you have to wait or the service is slow. IT'S WORTH IT. I am literally still thinking about the blueberry pancakes. They're some of the best I have ever had. You will not be disappointed.

Bring cash for a tip but can pay with card for food. ATM at the entrance Food: I got the Mickey special and the beans were good, the fries were ok and the burger was awful. However you received a large portion of ok. Service: it's interesting. They are not teenagers and everyone was middle age or older. There were a few times when people were trying to sit down at a booth and the bus boy (man) stated very strongly not to sit down till cleaned. My food came out and my waitress actually stole a French fry from the top as she was scooping up my chili. The joke was on her as it sure seemed like that fry had a hair on it as the plate sat in front of me for a minute coming off the grill. Railcar was pretty cool. I wouldn't say cleanliness is their highest priority or even high on their priority list but I did feel like I stepped back into the mighty ducks years. Would I head back. Definitely not but it still brought a smile to my face and much laughter hearing the not going above and beyond for the customers. Maybe that's their montra and if that is the case then they do a good job.

My family history with Mickey's Diner begins during WWII when my father was a busboy. Recently, my brother came to town having long ago left Minnesota. He wanted Minnesota food later in the evening after I picked him up from a late evening flight. Mickey's!! He had a sandwich. I had a (huge) bowl of Mulligan Stew. Sadly, we lacked the appetite for dessert.

After many years of hearing about Mickey's Diner, my husband and I decided to have a "Saint Paul Day" and go to some of the places we've always heard about but haven't tried yet, so we took a day off work and traipsed around St Paul. We decided to start the day at Mickey's Diner as it's an icon and definitely a place everyone should try out. We went at about 9:30am on a Thursday so obviously not a busy time, and got right up to the counter. Got a cup of coffee (very good--dark and rich), and I ordered "The Twos" and my husband ordered the BLT. The Twos comes with two pancakes, two slices or bacon or sausage, and two eggs. The person behind the counter was in training which was great fun for me as I got to learn some things as the line cook taught her (timing things, identifying doneness, how to make an over-medium egg correctly etc). It was really a treat for me because being a line cook in a diner is an art form and being able to learn some of that was a lot of fun for me and will improve my own breakfast cooking at home! My husband got the BLT and fries. Very basic sandwich but good ingredients, and the fries were perfect so I stole some from him when he wasn't looking! Good stuff :) There isn't a lot of room in here and if you take a seat during a busy time I would imagine that they will push you to figure out what you want pretty quickly so that they can turn over the counter/tables. I'd read that they could be pretty abrupt with people, but I found them very friendly and really enjoyed the experience. There is a parking lot right next door which was really helpful for easy parking. The menu has the standards and the food comes out really hot and really fast! It was a wonderful way to start the day and experience a St Paul icon :)

A novelty at best, though the friendly staff bump this up to a three star visit. We stopped in for breakfast while on an extended layover in Minneapolis and it was walking distance from our hotel while offering a better price than the extortionist DoubleTree restaurant, so we went for it. The staff was very friendly and apologetic for not being as attentive as they would like on account of being short-handed during our visit. I appreciated the honesty. Food was just ok. The French Toast was lacking in both flavor and actually being toast. The regular toast was really just warmed bread; is that a Minneapolis thing, serving toast as light as the majority of the city's population? The over easy eggs were decent--though I guess you can't really screw that up--and I didn't care for the sausage patties. If you're into this kind of thing, you should really pull up, take a picture, and keep on driving.

I decided to stop at this downtown St. Paul iconic diner before a show. It is exactly what you picture when you think of a diner. Bar stools lined up at a counter with the cook and waitress working behind. I ordered the patty melt with fries and a classic bottled root beer float. The patty melt was excellent and I also got a side chat with the cook. He was very friendly! If anyone reads this, please take ONE THING away-- they accept credit cards but tips are cash only! They do have an a conveniently located in their entry but I loath using an atm and their fees. Overall, a cute diner experience and expect diner food.

Love this diner! It looks like something that popped out of the movies! Did not get a chance to try their food, but wow, does their exterior look inviting! Gotta plan a drop by the next we go to St Paul!

Oh what a beautiful classic diner, complete with greasy delicious food, sticky floors, a jukebox, and tiny tables. I magically came at a time when there was a short line and good weather, otherwise you'll be standing outside waiting for a table. Mickey's is well worth it though. Between our table we had an array of breakfast foods and burgers and everything was so good. The pancakes, the crispy hashbrowns, and juicy burgers were all worth a long wait. Our waitress was a tad scary and very to the point, but it went with the classic diner vibe. You won't find anything else like it in the twin cities. And the best part is that it's open 24/7 to fulfill all your food needs at any time of day. They also have a small parking light so if your luck you won't have to park on the street.
