Mickey's Dining Car

"You don't see hash browns O'Brien-style on very many menus anymore, but Mickey's does theirs perfectly."
Cliff Strutz






"This ham & cheese omelet is notable for its light and fluffy texture. The ham is cut into long strips, not diced or chopped. The raisin bread toast in the background was also quite good."
Cliff Strutz



"There are four booths at the end of the car, but most of the action takes places at the counter seats. Unfortunately, the juke boxes don't work anymore."
Cliff Strutz



"According to the menu, Mickey's Dining Car was one of the first diners to be built in the Art Deco style."
Cliff Strutz



"If you are hungry and in St. Paul, Mickey's is always open!"
Cliff Strutz



"Mickey's was trucked to St. Paul in 1937 from New Jersey, where it had been built by diner man Jerry O'Mahony, known in hash house history as "the man who brought the toilet inside.""
