The Normal Bar

This was my first time in Phoenix and I had a blast. First thing that morning I went for breakfast. I was the first customer at 7am. I decided on the freshman breakfast with vegan sausage. It was incredible! The eggs were fluffy and so buttery. The home fries were so well seasoned that I didn't even need ketchup. This was the first time I've been offered vegan sausage as a replacement. It was delightful. I absolutely love this spot. It is without a doubt one of the best eateries in the area! #ashsaidit

Visiting Tempe for a few days, I was happy to find a restaurant that offers food for every meal, including all day breakfast. The service is great and the food is on par with excellence. The chef is very particular about what gets sent out (try the omelettes), it will blow your mind. The staff worked hard and always kept me satisfied, Manny did a great job serving me. The restaurant/bar is attached to The Graduate Hotel (which is also great), but the restaurant is open to public and so it the pool.

Great service and food. Was there in the morning to celebrate my son's birthday <4>. He loved his pancake! I love the Normal! They are easily one of the best happy hour places in the area. Prices are extremely reasonable (especially during their happy hour) and they have an amazing discount for University affiliates. Their cuisine has a Mexican flair to it and it is done extremely well! Even if not on HH special, their food is great. My usual go-to is the wings topped with tajin. This is a great place to stop by and get out of the heat!

This place is a hidden gem!! Me and my boyfriend had no idea what we were getting into when we strolled in. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!! We both walked in thinking it was going to be just all right, but were proven so wrong!! In the best way :) We walked an hour, hour and a half before close and I was randomly craving breakfast. Even though they were done serving it much earlier in the day, the manager on shift ( I believe his name is Maya) got the chef to make me an AMAZING breakfast burrito. My boyfriends burger and fries were so full of flavor, we both tasted each other's food and just said "Whoa!" They have items on the menu that are exclusive to this hole in the wall, as some ingredients are brought straight from Mexico for that authentic flavor. Anyways, we LOVED our experience and will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed my week going to The Normal. The breakfast was good and decent price. The drinks were nice and cold. The staff was super awesome and friendly (Max, Adan, Antonio and especially Alyssa aka My Boston girl!) they were all attentive and treated me and my co-worker like friends we known forever. Thank you guys for such a good week and making us feel welcome.

The Normal Diner has combined the 5 most delicious words...."Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles"! Wow!! There were two things that made this dish stand out. 1. The beautiful color, crisp, and light sweetness of the waffles was so good, I didn't need butter or syrup (they would have taken away from the flavors) and 2. The chicken was boneless and one of the most juiciest pieces of chicken I've ever had at a restaurant. This dish delivers MORE THAN EXPECTED! I was so happy when I left and bragged about it to others! By the way, the diner itself is very nice. It was a very clean establishment, bright, open, and colorful. I liked the random pictures on the wall, the multi-colored light fixtures, and the diner seating right up front. The only thing that was a little odd was they cut their menu in half when there is a show at Gammage across the street so that they can get orders out quickly. Unfortunately they do not deviate from that, but it's still worth asking. I would definitely love to go back and try the rest of their menu. I would encourage you to do the same! :-)
