Mickey's Diner

I feel like this place has gone downhill over the past few years. It depends on who is working. The most recent time I was there the sunny side up egg on the One-eyed Jack were not just sunny side up, but raw. I assume most people eating there expect food in a hurry, but this was beyond. I used to LOVE their hash browns...this time not so much, also undercooked. The late night crew, however, is amazing. However, I expect more consistency in quality from a place that's been around for this long! The Mulligan stew though...you can never go wrong with that!

Wanted to love it, almost walked out. Sat down and was greeted and pointed to the menu which I couldn't see because it was behind something. Was mocked for this and laughed at. For some reason I stayed and ordered eggs browns and toast. While waiting for my order another customer left and the employee said to the other worker there that he looked like a "scummy lawyer." Probly not good business to insult customers but I had already ordered so still I sit. Eggs were well cooked and I liked their toast. Browns were overcooked and we're a flavor combo of burnt and too much cooking oil. I like iconic joints and don't mind a greasy spoon, but let this one go. It's not worth your time.

Food is good not exceptional but good. Employees were very nice and attentive. We got immediate seating and it was even super bowl weekend. I think everyone was was sleeping in from partying the evening before. When we left there was people waiting to sit. There are only about 4 booths the rest of seating is by the counter. Later that evening while watching TV we found out Jimmy Fallon was there to eat the same day.

Not what it used to be. I've been there to eat over 100 time's before. Been a while since I've been back. I was bringing 3 coworkers there for their first time. We sat in a booth and we're told by the cook to "Get the f*** out of the Booth's they are closed!" " Can't you see the f***ing sign!". There was no sign saying Booth's closed, just a "wet floor" orange cone on the floor. I will never go back again.

Great food and staff. Truly gives that local diner feel. I can see how it might put off some people, especially folks visiting from out of town. It's not upscale, and the staff are quick to give a sassy remark, but that's why I love it. It's iconic, fun, and tasty, and is part of why I love calling St. Paul my home.
