Mickey’s Restaurant

This place was recommended by a local bartender when we asked about a seafood place. Would have never guessed otherwise that it was the place to be. There was no lobster on the menu but just about everything else. I will be eating my meal atleast two more times for leftovers. So needless to say the serving size was huge and delicious. I am not from the area but could definitely see this place as my local hang out if I did.

I went here for dinner with my work partner. We had a very relaxing meal and the service was excellent. We were given warm bread which we really needed as were were very hungry however, it was only so so. I only wanted a small amount of pasta and the server kindly ordered a childs size meal for me. I also ordered a hot water with lemon and it came out in a really nice extra large mug-​perfect. The food was just right and came out as I ordered it with the marinara on the side… can only have a little sauce due to reflux.: (It was very good. My partner had the pasta carbonara with chicken. It had a lot of bacon and was so creamy. She said it was great. We will return!

I have been very open to Mickey’s since I moved here. It used to be right across the street from where I used to live, so I wanted to like it SO much. The first time I went there, which was about 3 years ago now, my husband and I went in and were sat down. Then we waited for someone to take our drink order. We waited, and waited, then tried to get a girls attention. She then got us drinks after 20 minutes of waiting and told us a server would be right with us. Then we waited again… for 45 minutes! We got so fed up we just left. I don’t even think they noticed.
Then the restaurant had a fire. I felt like maybe after having to rebuild and everything, maybe things would be different, so I went back with a friend. The new place looks much better, but as before there are a lot of tables shoved together in a little room. My friend and I literally sat in the very back corner, which I had to litterally shove myself into because everything was so close together. Then, because my friend and I spent so much time catching up, I didn’t realize till the end of the meal that we had waited for someone to get our drinks orders, just like before. The best of all for me is I was almost ignored completely because the person I was with happen to be well known in Plattsburgh. I love being ignored, it makes you feel so important…
So finally last night I decided to give Mickey’s one more try. I had seen a pizza that looked amazing when I was there and wanted to order one, to see if it would taste as good as it looked. So I called to order the pizza… the woman I talked to on the phone was RUDE. I mean so much so that I almost just cancelled the order, but I wanted to believe that the pizza would be so good it would make up for the older woman’s attitude. I asked he to decribe the pizza, like if it was housemade sauce, or what kind of cheese they used. Her response was «Its has sauce and cheese, its a pizza.» Great way to promote the product… Needless to say, drove 30 minutes out of my way to get this pizza and it was not good.
I think I am done giving them chances…

Mickey’s … it’s been around for years. I believe somewhere close to 1952? My parents used to take us here on «special occasions». I remember meeting Mickey, the original owner when I was a child. He’s gone now but his tradition is still carried on. The meals are very good. The bar is fantastic! True, it’s a local bar, which is great considering the people of Plattsburgh are great as well. Meals are better than expected. Park across the street and walk into the bar or dining room. You’ll be welcomed warmly.

THIS… is where the locals eat.
Italian based food, bar food, dark and dated — this place is off the beaten track (literally on the rail road track) near the Georgia Pacific paper mill. Good selection of pasta’s, steaks, and specialties.
Very reliable for their above average ability to serve up good, hearty meals
