Helmed by Chalee Kader of 100 Mahaseth, Mickey’s takes over what used to be the Beer Bridge at the Portico building. The large space is now decked out with retro-red dining booths, a graffiti-splattered wall, and two big screens overlooking the counter seating. The menu, meanwhile, is inspired by Kader’s time in San Francisco and is a mash-up of classics like eggs Benedict (B360), tuna melts (B320), fried chicken and waffles (B390), Cobb salads (B390), and buffalo wings (B170).
The all-day breakfast menu includes specials like the giant Mickey’s breakfast (B390), which comes with eggs any way you like, Canadian bacon, home fries, a sausage patty, and French toast with maple syrup; corned beef hash (B290) served with eggs and sourdough toast; and the deeply American biscuits and gravy (B120), featuring chunky, meaty gravy slathered over freshly made biscuits.
Other options include the New England clam chowder (B250)—pro tip: order a biscuit on the side for dipping—and the Bay Area favorite, the cioppino (B550), a hearty, Italian-American seafood stew served with bread.
For dessert, dig into homemade pecan pie with vanilla ice cream (B190) or the apple tarte tatin (B170).
