FINALLY!!!! fished my wish. lol, seen this place across the street from D2's dance studio, never been. in fact, despite it being an EH fixture, never even knew it was over here until she started dancing across the street! I lived in EH for a few years too (plus we are tied into the community too!) oh well, better late then hungry! and thats the situation folks, tasty fish! only had a sandwich so far, it was on special, i like that too! good flake, ample sized for 8$ i guess. not in the S tier of fish sandwiches, but still very good, i would come back... you could say im hooked....

Just came back from having THEE best two dogs with chili and onions!! Went there with my daughter-in-law's dad. We WILL be back and next time we will avail ourselves of the bodacious looking seafood. Someone we sat near had clams and I can't wait to try them! Now, how will I explain that 10lb+ weight increase to my doctor?? hahaha - Russ

Fresh seafood in a no frills environment with lots of repeat patrons. There's no such thing as a bad meal here. It'll likely be fried!

Mickey's hit the spot for our lobster quest. It was right off a main road, had the required clean restroom facilities we sought, and had lots of specials going on, which would have us becoming regulars if we lived nearby. We tried several variations of specialties, the lobster roll being my fav. The lobster salad was good, but of course missing out on the infamous sweet buttered roll itself. The fries were good and hot, and the clam chowder was tasty. Mark Mickeys on your GPS if traveling by.

Been going here for YEARS. dad use to take me back in middle school for breakfast (when they were opened for breakfast) Place is always clean. Food is always fresh. Kinda pricey but definitely worth it. Never a bad experience. Seafood is good. Hot dogs are a must especially with chili. Service is always nice, most of the ladies who take everyone's orders are always helpful. Outside seating which is great on a nice day. They have countertop seatings by the windows. Plenty of parking

Over this past summer I visited 9 different places in Connecticut to find the best CT Lobster Roll (hot/buttered). 3 of those places were on the CT shoreline and the remaining 6 in the greater Hartford/Central CT area so they all ultimately ended up with two ratings on my final list. Mickeys has been around for 70 years and is another East Hartford icon, starting as a roadside shack serving burgers and hot dogs before becoming Mickey's Drive-In and still sits the the original building that replaced the shack. It's another one of those places I've been too many times to remember but I've been going there my whole life. Long gone are the days of the 'drive-in' and the car shows they used to host, since the highway access has changed they don't get as much traffic as they used to but they still do a decent amount of business thanks to the quality of the food and service. They are very well known in the local area and they have a devoted following of locals (and not-so-locals) that keep coming back. For the lobster roll they landed near the middle of the list. #6 of the 9 I visited in the state and #4 of the 6 I visited in the Hartford/Central CT area. Nothing at all wrong with the taste or quality of the rolls and they're right in the middle of the price range but the amount you get is on the smaller side, averaging only 2 1/2 oz of meat on a roughly 2oz roll there are better places to get lobster rolls in central CT. They run a little higher than market price for some seafood items so while some are a little pricey, some are a great value. So why the 5 stars? It's everything else they do. From the basic breakfast sandwiches to the fish sandwiches, burgers, fries and house-made onion rings (more like straws than rings). They have a nice variety of seafood and specials daily. The crab bisque comes off as a bit thin and spicy but the clam chowder is one of the better ones I've tried. Having eaten here all my life I think I've tried just about everything they have to offer. There are no tables indoors, just a u-shaped counter surrounding the 'open' kitchen in the middle with some stools if you'd like to eat it there and several outdoor seats and tables if the weather is good. From the fish and chips to the stuffed clams (stuffies), breakfast to burgers, hot dogs to haddock they serve good, quality food . The pricing can be higher for some of the items but they are a smaller, one-location restaurant so I can understand the need to charge a bit more. Other than that this is one of my favorite hometown haunts to stop for lunch any day of the week (except Sundays when they're closed). Five stars!
