The classic Madison diner is a counter-and-booth breakfast institution that opens early and trades on regulars. Mickies Dairy Bar on Monroe Street, across from Camp Randall Stadium, is the best known of the type, a griddle-and-malt room built around game-day crowds. Monty's Blue Plate Diner over on Atwood Avenue carries the same comfort-food register on the east side.
