Mickey’s Diner has been a icon for years. Built within the confines of one street car sitting on w 7th and there someone came up with the idea of a restaurant. Small? Yes. Packed? Yes! Great food? Maybe… Depends what you order although when I went for breakie had steak and eggs- yes I know – not the healthiest choice – I had to send my steak back 3 time for them to cook it medium well. The rest of the food was very good. If I was allowed to eat those wonderful gluten filled waffles, french toast or pancakes would have definitely as they were flying off the griddle due to the demand of the crowd.
Highly recommend Mickey’s if your over in St Paul. Great food and even better people watching! Just keep an eye on the steak.

Mickey’s Diner is a classic Art Deco diner car restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was prefabricated in New Jersey, shipped to St. Paul by rail, and installed downtown just before World War II. It looks much like it did then and is still open 24 hours a day. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as the only building of its kind in Minnesota. It is shown in several Hollywood movies, including The Mighty Ducks, Jingle All the Way, and A Prairie Home Companion, where it is featured prominently in the opening and closing scenes.
There is an additional location in the West 7th/Sibley neighborhood of St. Paul that is decorated in the manner of a 1950s diner rather than the rail-car diners of the Great Depression and the Second World War.
