Sure, The Normal Diner has "normal" right in its name—but really that might be underselling it a bit. From the moment they walk in the door, patrons are likely to notice that this is no run-of-the mill greasy spoon: immediately they encounter a mural full of magazine clippings, kaleidoscopic lamps over the bar, and the inviting odor of brioche french toast wafting through the air. That last note foreshadows a menu full of favorites that range from chicken and red-velvet waffles to a braised-beef short-rib hash. Wash everything down with a drink from the Normal Coffee bar or opt for the Redeemer, the house bloody mary topped with a slider and Wisconsin cheese curds.
