This is Mickey's Diner in St Paul Minnesota. It's been here since 1939 and has stayed open that entire time! This is one of America's last remaining Classic American Diners from the past.
Join me as I take a look and a bite to eat at this Amazing Diner right in the heart of Downtown Saint Paul Minnesota.

Mickey’s Diner was designed to resemble the railroad dining cars of the period. It is unique in that it is one of the first diners to be built in the Art Deco style. Mickey’s Dining Car was manufactured in New Jersey and shipped by rail on a flat bed to its present location.
Mickey's Diner has been featured on the Food Network series Unwrapped, Roker on the Road, Rachel Rays' Tasty Travels, and Alton Browns' Feasting on Asphalt. Mickey's has appeared in The Smithsonian, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Easy Rider, Playboy and Elle magazines. Mickey's Dining Car has been replicated as a collectible by Department 56, The Danbury Mint and Saks Fifth Avenue. The Mighty Ducks I, II, III, Jingle All the Way and A Prairie Home Companion movies contain scenes that were shot on location at Mickey's.
Mickey’s Diner was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and was one of the first diners to be a registered historic place. The designation helped preserve the diner during urban re-development with in the city of St. Paul.
Mickey’s Dining car has been operating 24 hours a day 365 days a year for nearly 70 years. Spanning three generations the diner has remained family owned and operated.

Doing A LOT of research on diners in the past year or so and this video was PERFECT. Looking forward to checking your other videos and I hope you aget to make it to more diners in the future! Thanks for showing the whole menu

Been there several times. Best experience, sitting at the bar with my friend; chef is busting his ass cooking a million things, my friend asks him "what do you recommend?" Chef doesn't even look up, just says "the soup."

@macwright3925 3 года назад

I Dont reccomend eating soup from any kind of Restaurant/Diner...Believe me The shit I've seen Done to soup is Quite Disturbing To say the least!! If u want soup just PLEASE Make it yourself in your home!! Or just go ahead and enjoy a nice bowl of semen/spit water mixed with your Favorite veggies!!oh Dont forget the Bread to sop it all up for your Deluctable enjoyment.

The Boulevard Diner in Worcester ,Ma about 47 miles west of Boston opened in 1936. Nothing like hardy diner food, especially breakfast . When in the great state of Maine stop at the Maine diner in Wells Maine.

Years ago when I was in HS I had a summer job getting locked in overnight at the Old Woolworths store close by. My job was to strip and wax the floors of the store. When the store manager would come in at 6am and let me out I would go over to Mickeys for breakfast. Many, many great memories and a pretty awesome breakfast experience... This clip brought out many smiles! Thanks...

They did alooooot of filming in the twin cities, especially on the south side of Minneapolis. Fun fact, not sure is anyone knew this, but the scene where the kid who busted out the window on the van is the backside of Charlie's place, and it was the 2nd or 3rd movie when they reunite in front of the burger box that was just down the street. And we had a friend who lived in the apartment building across the street from Peavey Park at the time they filmed the limo scene which Charlie's mom was trippin cos they were driving on the ice, relax folks, it's just a field, lol. which was only 3 blocks from your Swedish Institute vid. Oh, and Hans' skate shop was at Theodore Worth Park, and if I'm not mistaken, his shop was where they keep the tubes for downhill tubbing, not sure if they still do now a days, haven't been there in Fyeva....

I grew up on Rice St. in St. Paul and played hockey at Washington High School graduating in 1969. We played many games at the old St. Paul Auditorium and I remember that after most games I would swing by Mickey's Diner for some great burgers and good music!! At that time, I was too young to appreciate the historical significance of this beautiful diner, but I do now! My mother and father went to Mechanic Arts High School and even they hung around at Mickey's when they were in high school too. After high school, I went to St. Thomas College and worked at Donaldson's Department Store in downtown St. Paul and continued visiting the diner until I joined the Air Force in 1973. I live in Temecula, Ca. now and I am so glad to see that this wonderful piece of history is still thriving. Thank you for the wonderful video and the great memories!! bob

@donloughrey1615 2 месяца назад

Ate there on and off since 60s, almost daily in the 70s. It is now closed and is just sitting there. Another note: in the 80s or 90s the insurance company next door tried to get it removed so they could build their skyscraper all the way to the corner. They even got the city involved and tried eminent domain. Mickey's fought back and with public support won, getting it on the historic register. So they built it right to the back door, making a nice back drop though. They had three other restaurants in town (not diners) but with the same menu. One is still open about a couple of miles away on the same street. Thanks for posting this.

You do not see hamburger prices like those anymore. The closes place like this one in Seattle is XXX barrel and the plain hamburger with cheese is $10.00 without fries or a drink. Add an extra $5.00 to the hamburger to get a small portion of fries and a small drink. Yikes!

The city is a dump and this diner isn't far off. Been here my entire life and they must have put this video together in a bunch of different shots or tried extra hard to avoid all the nasty crap thats usually around there 😒. There's a homeless shelter full of drunks and drug addicted waiting to tear the patches off people's asses about 3 blocks away so don't get your hopes up 😂

This was the the diner in jingle all the way?? Love when Howard comes in from the cold and the guy behind the counter says “here, this will warm you up” while setting down a cup of coffee. Such a great scene when Myron and Howard drink coffee and bond over their search for turboman. Hits hard when Myron declares “Me...I’m just a loser with no future” and then takes a swig from his flask.

It is for a lifetime, got hotel, let's vault in. Thank you always as businesses that moves GDP preserved. How's that for daily certainties, not fortune tellers, it goes state to state at times, it knows heritage hotels, waiting to be warmth. Ready... We hear activities as well as tradition of culture. The diner is dinner served, lunch, breakfast, early breakfast, mid lunch on your respective time for juicing up. Chao.

If I get back, I'm going there for sure.
