What People Are Saying About Mickey's Diner

In Short – The 24-hour art deco red-and-cream dining car has been around since the 1930s and has lent its image to calendars, postcards and movies. Waitresses are here to get you fed, not to make small talk. Neighborhood regulars to folks stopping in for late-night or early-morning snacks fill the stainless steel and mahogany interior for greasy burgers and fries. Nostalgic diners go for mulligan stew and bean soup made from pre-World War II recipes.

Worse place to work
by toneman at Citysearch
I worked for Mickeys off and on...why off and on you say! Well between the vagrents begging for money and cigs and dealers trying to sell you something and the management being okay with this action it was too hard to work there. I find that the owner doesn't care about cleanliness and that is a dead ringer for someone to get sick. There is grease dripping from the light fixtures onto the countertops. Ummm that can get into someones food!!! Not too good you guys! Just because I told the owners son (who couldn't keep his own restaurant going), to take the job and shove it I am no longer even welcome as a customer! That's no skin off my nose!!! I have better places to spend my dollar! They have some really messed up thinking!
- Pros: good recipes...and a couple good cooks
- Cons: rude waitresses (unless they know you)!

The classic greasy-spoon dive.
by BigDaddyCool2564 at Citysearch
I had the "$200 burger" at Mickey's. I call it the $200 burger because it was worth the 5 hour drive from central ND just to eat it. That's how good it was! Yeah, it's a greasy spoon, but the atmosphere of the place is what really makes it worth the visit. DEFINITELY not for the calorie conscious (I saw Mickey put in a cup of butter for a 3-egg omelet) but it more than makes up for it in taste and portion size. I didn't even mind the 40 minute wait to get seated. I will definitely visit this place again and again each time I visit the cities.

Not what I expected!!!
by SadieMae00 at Citysearch
Have wanted to go there for years. Not what I expected!! The waitress was VERY rude. I asked if I could use the restroom. She said no. She must have seen the look on my face, and said did you think I was serious? I nodded, and she said "what a loser." Then continued with a "Jesus Christ!" I was very offended. I also thought that the place was filthy. My coat got full of grease stains from the booth. I had to throw it away. And I thought it was expensive. But one positive thing, the food was good!! Never again.
- Pros: Good food
- Cons: Waitress sucked! Expensive, and filthy.
