The Normal Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Mike D.

    I'm not sure which I was a bigger fan of; the delicious fried chicken and red velvet waffle or the ample free parking in the facist parking state that is the ASU area. This diner is in the Graduate hotel and is a really nice spot for breakfast, lunch or brunch. The menu offerings range from standard breakfast to quiches, sandwiches, burgers and the aforementioned chicken and waffles. There are lots of sweet treats like doughnuts, whoopie pies and shakes that I look forward to trying the next time I stop in. Regarding the food, the biscuit sandwich was pretty boring and not up to the caliber of the waffle. Prices are fair and they even had an all you can eat pancake special going on for $5. A waffle by itself will run you $4 and with the fried chicken it's $12. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked so I'd recommend that. If you're in Tempe and want a high quality breakfast without dealing with the Mill Ave parking, stop by here.

    Really wish I could rate this 5 stars. Cute concept but execution lacking. Service was excellent. Dined here the other night before a meeting. First strike is the very poor wine list. The server said the restaurant doesn't want to compete with the bar? Um what? I'm having dinner and would like a decent choice of wine. Only one white? A Chardonnay? YUCK. At least offer a Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc too. On to the food. Two of us ordered meatloaf and the other the special. The meatloaf was entirely to spicy and I like it hot. Not sure how a normal diner would eat this meal. The zucchini side was entirely forgettable. I would like to come back and try breakfast. I'm not sure I would come back for dinner. Honestly would probably rather eat at the bar with a full bar menu if the food is just meh.

    This place has really come along way since its early days. Eaten here twice recently, both dinner and breakfast. Reasonable priced and high quality. I recommend the fried pickles and sea salt chocolate chip cookies. Both the french toast and biscuit breakfast sandwich were also excellent. Try the maple bacon bar for a decadent treat. Will be back due to the great service and no wait times for Friday night / Saturday morning.

    Part of what once used to be a house of pancakes in a hotel, off of ASU, this eating establishment has been turned into a hipper, cooler environment that is an homage to the culture of the 70s with a retro look which includes a display of 8 track tapes on the back of the eating area and framed photos of people dressed in 70s clothing. Fo those born int he 90s, which I assume is much of the current student population at ASU,this probably feels like a trip back to an earlier era. I took my parents (who lived through the 70s, and I did as well, but as a child) as it was interesting to have an actual diner in our area. I tried the old fashioned on the menu, a bit watery but it was $6 - I would probably adjust this a bit but for a late night pancake session at the diner, probably not a bad drink and it did come with three alcohol soaked cherries. After the cocktail their is a nice selection of local beers. As for the food, while most of it didn't wow me the grilled inked sausages were amazing and I believe they are made by a local provider. We didn't try the pancakes though and the waitress said those are especially good. What they do well with though, is the baking - I had the chocolate chip cookies with sea salt and they were amazing - comes with a glass of milk that you can also get warm (quite homey). They also bake their own pies and they change so look forward to coming back for a slice. However, they don't post the pie type on Facebook - might be a good idea to do that and have a twitter account as their pie could be their trademark as not many places I know, make their own pie, at least in this area. As for the service, as others have mentioned, a bit more laid back than it should be. The wait staff may want to be a bit more on top of cleaning dirty dishes off the table and checking on empty glasses. I think that is a training issue more than anything else. i also like that they have a daily special - so that provides something new to the mix. Final thought - have a weekly newsletter of upcoming specials and pies - it would not cost much and helps to develop a following and of course, work on the cocktails - raise the bar (pun intended) on them a bit and I think this place will be headed in the right direction.

    My husband and I ate here before watching a show at the Gammage. We arrived about 2 hours early to get a good parking spot and then walked over to The Diner! The Bloody Mary was to die for!!! It was garnished with salami, cheese, peppers and A SLIDDER!! Not too strong and not too spicy. Absolutely perfect. It's called THE REDEEMER!! The food was very good in portion size and so very fresh! Or server, Madi, was so friendly and efficient!! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're a parent, student, or theater enthusiast... Stop in at The Diner, You'll be very impressed!!

    Loved our experience at this place. The location, ambiance and decor are spot on. The only negative was the weird smell in the restaurant and bathroom. The service was very good. Strange that there were very few other diners in the time we were there. Had dinner and tried - Cereal Killer Milkshakes: Kids loved them Infused Old Fashioned: Amazing, loved the chunks of cherry Bloody Mary: Delicious, fun with the cheeseburger and cheese curds and roasted red pepper Turkey/Avocado Club: what you would expect Breakfast Hamburger Sandwich: Fabulous Short Rib Hash & Eggs: Pretty Good Very much look forward to coming back.

    Wanted to take my oldest out to eat, and she didn't feel like going anywhere fancy, so I convinced her to give The Normal a try, so off we went! She is a picky eater, and even she was able to find something she liked, she ordered the cheeseburger plan, just meat, cheese and bread and some sweet potato fries, she loved those fries! I went with the crispy spiced chicken breast sandwich and swapped the fries for the roasted poblano potatoes, delish! The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, it came with Applewood bacon, Swiss cheese, siriacha aioli on a roll, and this was a great tasting sandwich! And the roasted potatoes went will with it! Since that time I went with my daughter, I did wind up back at The Normal before I could finish the last update, so I am combining both on this review haha, this time it was on a Friday night before a show at The Gammage, and I have to say this place was poppin! I did learn from my program at the Gammage that if you show your tickets you can get 15% off your check at The Normal, I didn't know this, so I didn't, but next time you bet I will! I can say The Hash is still on point, that is just a great tasting dish, but what was the winning dish that night was the red velvet waffles and chicken, that chicken is amazing! Tender, sweet and perfect! Even though I had The Hash, I had plate envy and had to give it a try! The Normal is fast becoming a favorite of mine, and I'm sure I will be back soon!

    Decor - 5 star Service - 2 star (Waiter was friendly but looked like he never combed his bedhead hair. He also looked and sounded stoned. Food - a big disappointment! Eggs Benedict were supposed to come on a LGO English muffin. NOT! It wasn't even a Thomas' English muffin. Portion size was small and the chorizo tasted like the kind you squeeze out of a pouch. Both my friend and I were really disappointed with our experience here.

  • Elizabeth S.

    I actually strolled in here after a night of heavy drinking, just based upon the reviews of the red velvet waffles and chicken (which were outstanding) I will be back again. Service was a little weird, our server was great, but actually getting seated was a bit weird as we didn't know if we sat ourselves or if we were seated so we waited a few minuted and finally someone came over.

    (Lyrics - Madonna - Take A Bow) The Normal, the meal is starting This food review is getting better Nostalgic, the 8 tracks post Bo Bites is here Bring your drinks but do you taste it Do you mean what you serve when there's Bo Bites around Watching you, watching me, four happy stars I've always been wanting to try out you I guess you've always known it's true I took your location for granted, why oh why This food is awesome, say Oh-My! Baw-chika Baw Baw is more like it.....bringing the 70s back! There is nothing normal about The Normal unless we jumped in a time machine and went "back to the future"! The place is a welcoming change and definitely stylish with nostalgia. I came with a date and we generally like to order a lot to try a little bit of this and that. To start we went with a side of Red Velvet Waffles (yeah right!?), then a TC Chopped Salad. For entrees we ordered The Bison Burger and chef Blackboard; which was chefs choice of the day....or time; it was actually beef brisket street tacos. The Red Velvet Waffles was definitely interesting, it a minor hit of red velvet cake taste, but not strong. Fluffy and doughy at the same time and perfect with some butter and maple syrup. The chopped salad came with pepitas, corn, blueberry raisins, couscous, and shredded chicken breast. The pepitas and corn provided a crunchy and nutty bite while the raisins and couscous made it chewy and sweet; overall a solid healthy salad! The BBQ brisket tacos were probably the star of the night. Street as it should be and a spicy kick since it was topped with a couple red chili peppers! Sprinkle it with some lime and bam we're golden!. My least favorite of the meals was probably the Bison burger. I've had Bison burger many times elsewhere and it is never good in my opinion. The product should be left whole as a steak and to grind up such a premium ingredient is atrocious! Needless to say, I didn't care for it. The service was awesome thanks to our server Alex. He was attentive and helpful with the menu. Overall, a great place for some eats and to bring back some memories..... - Enjoy!

    The diner itself is beautiful. A+ job on the decor. there was barely anyone there when my parents and I came in to eat. We were seated and the server was very friendly. A bit too friendly. It's fine to ask how a customer is doing, but it border lines being annoying if you ask them more than 4 times. Wait time for the food took 25 minutes and made my parents both cranky. love the menu. Love the concepts. Execution was questionable. I had the spiced chicken sandwich and it was very filling. A bit big to bite into for a petite girl like me. That wouldn't be a problem but my father also faced the same situation with his sandwich, so he decided on using his fork and knife to cut it into pieces. Homemade buns were delicious but my fathers broke apart as if it was a day or two old. French fries were delicious. Price appropriate with the meals. The food looked good and tasted alright. borderline sub par because of the expectation from the other reviews.

    We enjoyed this diner! The wall of old 8 tracks somehow worked here - lol - cool to see some of the covers. You gotta say "right on" to the Chicken n Red Velvet Waffles! I got "The Hash" - it was pretty good. What I would absolutely be back for is the pressed juice (Had a Yelp check-in for buy one get one free!) - "The big Liverbowski" - 2 thumbs up! It's definitely got some healing powers.

    After reading Yelp reviews of The Normal, w were looking forward to a delicious meal. But let's start with the staff... It was my 65th birthday and we were on our way to celebrate Wicked at Gammage. Despite it being slammed, the hostess quickly sat us at a table. Alex, shadowed by trainee, Cassandra, appeared, waters in hand, asking us what we wanted to order... Wedge salad, tomato soup and a brisket sandwich, and, hands down, the best crisp fried chicken in between red velvet waffle quarters. The salad wasn't a wedge and lettuce, unchilled, was unremarkable. A bit of créme fraiche swirled atop a homemade tomato soup accompanied a blah lukewarm brisket on toasted Texas bread. On the other hand, don't miss the flavorful red velvet waffle surrounding freshly fried chicken. Alex brought the tab promptly along with to go boxes. He offered this new senior citizen a dessert to go - bacon cream frosting - mmmmm. As we left, Alex suggested arriving about 90 minutes before any Gammage event. Good advice. Service - 5, Food - 3. Overall - 3+.

    The place was nice from the outside and fairly new to Tempe. It used to be an old IHOP and boy does it have a new vibrant look and feel to it. Nice decor and I also enjoyed the music. The waitstaff was a bit inattentive though. The waitress also got my order wrong. I wanted to order the Bison burger but ordered the Graduate burger w/ spicy hatch chili, smoked mozzarella, and citrus mayo. It came plain as day with none of the toppings I ordered. My meal was rectified by bringing me my fixings on the sides. Once I, myself, put together the burger it was delicious. Good food. Just not amazing food. I would come here again.

    This place is adorable. They have a full dinning area, a typical diner bar, and a coffee shop area. They also make their own donuts. That's kind of where the stellar review stops. Had a typical two egg breakfast with potatoes and a mimosa. My friend had the same. I also ordered the red velvet waffle. Which lacked in flavor. I ordered a mimosa, which was really strong, no complaints here it was $7! And my friend ordered an extra spicy Bloody Mary. Our waitress was nice and the bathrooms were clean. For the price it was lack luster. I can eat this exact meal for half the price down the street.

    I enjoy being here. The food is good, the atmosphere is great, and the service has improved. I ordered coffee with milk on the side and my server, Sequoia, brought the cup of coffee out on a plate with a spoon, and small metal pitcher of milk on a napkin all arranged on the plate. A classy way to serve coffee. Thanks for improving Normal Diner, see you again soon.

  • Jess K.

    The best thing about the normal diner was the service. The waiters were very nice and attentive but not annoying. Exactly how I like it. The only thing was the food. I got an eggs Benedict with an over cooked egg and the potatoes were just warm. There's still potential so I may give them another shot.

  • Madison C.

    The food was very good, besides the fact the potatoes were served cold. Both the blackboard breakfast burger and gringo burrito were enjoyable, and reasonably priced. The ambiance was cozy and unique, although it was a bit loud. Overall it's a great place to have a nice brunch with the family.

    First visit to The Normal was very promising. For those of you who are new to Arizona, ASU was previously known as Tempe Normal. Thus, the name. Love it. Located at the newly remodeled hotel now known as the Graduate. Love that name as well. Great location near Gammage Auditorium and the W.P. Carey School of Business. The restaurant has been nicely redone. No evidence that it was once an IHOP. A kind of retro feel. Very welcoming. Very friendly server who helped the vegetarian with whom I was dining maneuver the menu. We sat in place for a long time after our meal and felt no pressure to vacate our booth. Loved the use of vintage Western paperbacks to deliver the tab. Greeted promptly when we entered. Seated immediately. Offered beverages. Order taken the moment we were ready. Yes, perhaps evidence of a three week old restaurant with employees who are trying hard to please, but I sensed it might be sustainable. I was a little concerned The Normal might be positioned to become just another bad hotel restaurant. Happily, this does not seem to be the case. We only sampled two items. The burrito, modified for a vegetarian pallet, was excellent. The blue corn pancakes were unique. I would order them again, but they were a bit much by themselves and I would consider splitting entrees with a friend next time. I mentioned on a comment card that some color on the plate, perhaps just a slice of orange or the like, would help with its presentation and could break the taste. We appreciated The Normal's emphasis on sourcing locally... Not priced for starving students. Not too high priced. Just a little. The folks dining at The Normal this night appeared to be local, not captive hotel guests, which was nice. Five stars. While the food and surroundings were nice, it was the high level of customer service that made the difference.

    Would have never gone here if it was not for word of mouth from a few friends. This location used to be a Howard Johnson's Hotel and cafe for as long as I can remember. Not striking restaurant decor but better than Howard Johnsons. Don't know what to think of the 8 track tape wall. We ordered the Hash, Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles and French Toast. All 3 were excellent and prepared with very nice presentation. The Hash is actually Braised Beef Short Rib, Roasted Potatoes in Guajillo Chile Sauce topped with 2 eggs which was prepared perfectly. The Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles came out looking like the chicken was over cooked but was actually pretty good. The French Toast was prepared very well with the Meditera Baked House Brioche with Carmelized Bananas. We were in a hurry so the waitress helped us get in and out in a timely manner. The billed was tucked in an old paper back book. The restaurant definitely uses good quality ingredients and serves high quality food. Will be back to try other dishes and keep some of the ones we tried. Thanks The Normal Diner - Bon Appétit

    Great place to grab some tasty breakfast in Tempe. We came in for Sunday breakfast and I enjoyed the Farmer's omelet - egg whites and veggies...really tasty and healthy too. Great atmosphere and great service too.

    Finally was able to try The Normal this past Thursday, after friend Chef Jeff K. had suggested I try it when he told me that his restaurant would be closed the weekend after Christmas. He admitted he hadn't had a chance to go himself, but that he'd heard good buzz about it. I swung by after my massage ended, sometime around 2p, and I was the only person there, which was great, as that allowed me to ask server Evelyn about menu ingredients of a few items that interested me and to roam freely and take photos while I waited for the food to arrive. Everywhere I looked was a feast for the eyes! I saw a framed signage of the diner with a country background set against honeycomb-style wallpaper; gorgeous stained-glass Tiffany-esque ceiling lights twinkling above me; one hundred ninety-four eight-track tapes lined up on a wall, and then I noticed that at the end of this wall, outside the diner, there's a stonewall cap; graffitied lithographs, or perhaps originals, and a mural on two other walls; concave tiles aligning the halls leading to the restrooms AND part of the restaurant ceiling; columns made of gold glass tiles; color-block booth seating and dark green velvet chairs with wood tables; a long glass-topped table for communal seating, or perhaps a large party reservation; and beautiful parquet flooring. My brain was inundated by all these stimuli-- I was having so much fun, and I hadn't even tried the food yet! After Evelyn had retrieved all the answers from the kitchen I needed, I was able to narrow my choices for my first visit to Chicken n Waffles to start, and the Sundae Funday and a Haitian single-origin coffee to cap. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… The waffles are probably one of the better-tasting red velvet waffles I've tried (maybe the second-best), but the textures on the inside left me confused in the beginning (semi-crunchy exterior and gummy interior) until I decided that I wasn't enjoying them. The chicken, on the other hand, was very good-- great breading/batter (no corn products!), and had a spicy pepper seasoning flavor. I asked if it was Tabasco I tasted, but was told it was an overnight marinade made with Frank's Red Hot sauce. This dish is worth ordering alone just for the chicken! There is the option to sub malted waffles for the red velvet. After discussing the waffle textures with Evelyn and hearing that others had voiced the same concerns and Evelyn saying that the batter did yield differing textures compared to malt waffles, after further bites, it dawned on me that maybe the red waffles were undercooked, so I took a photo. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… I had no intention of complaining about the waffles and only showed the photo to Manager Maria during conversation when she came around, but she graciously offered to have the kitchen cook another serving for me to take home AND had this item omitted from my bill! What amazing response, and totally unexpected! After finishing one of the three pieces of chicken, I pushed the plate aside and had Evelyn put in the order for the Sundae Funday. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… Made with Grateful Spoon's Salted Caramel ice cream, caramel sauce and brownie bites made in-house, strawberry boba (ooh, these were fun!), and topped with a streusel (honeycomb, or caramel?), this dessert definitely lived up to its name! Sweet and salty, with creamy ice cream and caramel sauce against dense brownies bites filled with chocolate chunks (these bites could've been chopped into smaller pieces), and then to discover that these boba balls are not the traditional kind you find in Asian milk teas and desserts. No, no. These boba balls POP and release strawberry liquid! yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… Oh, my! With all these different textures and flavors intermingling in my mouth, this sweet treat really made for a fun-tastical experience! With such great ambience, a very promising menu, and personable staff working there (I also met Chef Brian, who knows Chef Jeff K), I will be returning to try other items on the menu. In fact, I'm meeting a cousin and her boyfriend there today! p.s. Tapacubo, a restaurant next door serving Mexican/Latin-influenced foods, such as arepas, tacos, burritos, and other goodies, just opened the same day as my visit. I asked Chef Brian if I, with corn and other food allergies, would be able to find something on the menu to enjoy, he said definitely. I think it's terrific that more and more chefs and their staffs are willing to cater to ever-increasing populations of people who have allergies, and that is why I am very happy to support restaurants, such as The Normal (and soon Tapacubo), that do.

    The food was GREAT. The decor and vibe were GREAT. The service was GOD AWFUL and the a/c was so high my boyfriend and I risked hypothermia. It's a shame the service was so bad because the food really was incredible. Hopefully front of the house can get their act together for the sake of the kitchen.

    This is our second visit here for breakfast. The menu is small, but everything on it is done to perfection and absolutely delicious. Service is friendly and fast, and that bottomless cup of coffee is tasty. This will become one of our regular haunts for sure!

    This diner is in the new mod style hotel called The Graduate. Apparently the site used to be an iHop but I would not have known it at all. They had it decorated really cool. It is your basic diner set up with stools at a counter and then a bunch of booths but there are a few glam touches like cool fabric patterns and light fixtures. The menu is likewise basic diner food glammed up a bit. Hubby had a burger and fries which he said was pretty good. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup which is always a favorite meal of mine no matter where I order it. The soup was creamy and delicious. The sandwich was made with Havarti cheese and had shredded beef brisket in it with a bbq sauce on it that really went well with the cheese. The bread was griddled so that it had the perfect crunch to it. The sauce on the beef was a bit too sweet but other than that it was really delicious. I loved the pomegranate iced tea as well... they do have some alcoholic drinks but we did not partake that evening. By the end of the meal we were both satisfied and happy. Our server brought out the check stuck into a '50s dime store paperback novel which I thought was a cute touch. I think this is a great option for dinner before a show at Gammage (it is right across the street) and so I am sure I will be back.

    I'm going to gush about 2 things in particular. The service, Evelyn, and the baked goods. For example, today they are featuring the biggest macaroons I have ever seen, fresh from the pastry chef. Mint chocolate.... come get some coffee, chat up the beautiful servers, and eat this. Leave a dollar for me for the tip. :)

  • Chelsea M.

    This place is really cute on the inside and has totally transformed from the ihop it was before. The menu is eclectic and has breakfast all day (plus!). I ended up going with the after school special which consisted of a bbq brisket grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was very good and the bbq sauce wasn't over powering. The sandwich and soup actually went really well together. Hubs got the bison burger and said it was ok. I unlocked the offer for a free coffee and got a latte. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it as the coffee wasn't that great and came out slightly warmed. Overall it's a cute place and I would go back and try a breakfast item.

    I really wanted to like The Normal, I really did. But after the breakfast we had I have to say I don't. My boyfriend and I visited on Saturday morning. We got there a little before 9 and it wasn't very busy yet. In the parking lot there was a car with a backseat window smashed so that's awesome. I assume it happened overnight but who knows. Anyway, we were sat right away and given menus. Our waitress came over and offered drinks and asked us if we were ready to order. Considering we just sat down and this is a new restaurant that's not a chain, we said we needed a minute. She must have counted 60 seconds because she was back very quickly. I don't know what the hurry was but we ordered - I got the minimum wage (eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes) and my boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy. Our meals came out and the first thing we both noticed was my eggs. They looked really weird. Really crumbly and dry. They tasted kinda weird too - actually they didn't taste like anything - they were just bland and unappetizing. I'm guessing they were powdered? I've never had "eggs" like this before. The bacon was meh. The potatoes were pretty good and the homemade jam for the toast was good. (tip - ask for the jam, my toast came out with none) Boyfriend's biscuits were super dense. The sausage was overcooked and tough. For the price of the food, I would expect the quality to be much higher. By the time we were done the place had filled up. When our waitress left our check and said "have a nice day" she wasn't even looking at us. How sincere. We left feeling very unsatisfied and on the way out I commented that I wished it were still IHOP. It was a total bummer of a breakfast.

    Yo fuck this place. I ordered their gringo burrito because it sounded good (as does all of their menu items). When I got it, it was puny AF, cold in the middle, and the wrapper stuck to the burrito, so when I opened it, it all fell out. When I said something, my waiter offered me a cookie or a muffin... This place is overpriced and overrated. It should've never taken over IHOP.

  • Mon-Cheri H.

    Tried the Gringo Burrito & a side of plain potatoes and it was good, not greasy at all. But the Guava Mimosa's are fantastic! A must try next time I am going to try their signature Bloody Mary, the real thing looks just as amazing as the picture, definitely a meal in it self! Oh and our waitress Rosa was awesome!

  • Jason B.

    The Normal imho has a lot of endearing qualities when it comes to brunch, good service, cozy decor, an inviting ambiance, and guava juice mimosa (like whoa!) but that's it. I think what saddens me is the menu, it's just underwhelming comprised mostly of breakfast sandwiches and not many traditional breakfast options and omelettes. I guess I'm accustomed to having a little more options than just food items limited to one page, heck isn't it a diner, so, shouldn't there be a little more choices?! Now, their Red Velvet waffles and chicken strips is outstanding, the chicken is hella moist, and the Red Velvet waffle isn't dry and together with butter and syrup and the accompaniment of a mimosa makes for a joyous brunch but I think that's it. I have had their braised short rib hash, and yes it was spicy but it was okay, nothing impressive that I must have again. The Normal is good, not great and only worth it if you're catching a show at the Gammage because they're across the street and convenient but alas that's it. If you do find yourself in the vicinity, get the chicken and waffles, it's yummy!

    YUM! There were 9 of us here for a Yelp UYE Breakfast Club brunch this morning (thanks for setting this up Monica). This was a Howard Johnson's (and later HoJo then IHOP) location for many years and there were numerous and humorous homages to this retro past in the decor. Eight track tape collection on the wall, several large 1970s framed artwork pieces that had been re-arted with black markers, wacky collages, etc. The counter and booths were reminders of the diners from the 1950s and 60s. The Normal is the diner for The Graduate hotel and shares a parking lot with the hotel. I had "The Hash" for $11.95. Now, I was expecting the typical roast beef hash from the Midwest, but this is a tangy Southwest version of that classic dish. The dish included braised beef short rib meat, with poblano chili roasted potatoes in a chile sauce with 2 eggs sitting on top. There were 3 corn tortillas on the plate. The process of loading the contents of the plate into the tortillas was a little messy but provided a delicious, lightly spicy concoction. The portion size was large (forget having room for desert if you order this dish). Service was friendly and patient with our large group. Overall, a big (saucy) thumbs up for The Normal.

    I always come here when there's a play I'm going to at Gammage and it's not that bad. They might be a little bit more on the expensive side and they don't really have that much food either. They have about 10 signature dishes and then there are sides and drinks as well as dessert. I always order the minimum wage breakfast and it's really good, comes with 2 eggs (however you like it), sausage or bacon, potatoes, and toast - but I always subsitute it for their red velvet waffle. Their red velvet waffle is seriously to die for. It's soooooo good. Overall, food was great. But the service was kind of slow, and there wasn't that much people there every single time I went there; other than that, place is good.

    My mom and I saw Wicked last night and had dinner here before the show. As I walked in there was a super nice lady going out as I came in and she welcomed me in and came by our table a couple times to check on things so I'm assuming she was the manager/owner. Super sweet and I really loved the fact that she was actually working! Kaitee was our server and she was fantastic as well. We never needed anything as she was totally on top of it. We started of with fried cheese curds but they were totally overcooked as there was literally, absolutely no cheese inside. I had the grilled cheese and brisket sandwich with the homemade tomato soup. Soup was lukewarm but great and there was way too much sauce on the brisket. It overpowered the havarti and sourdough bread. Mom had the turkey avocado sandwich with soup and enjoyed it. Kaitee offered us dessert and we ordered the salted carmel ice cream, which it turned out they were out of but she got us some vanilla bean with homemade carmel sauce. Delicious! The decor was cute and the check presenter was a book which I thought totally fit the theme of the restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll definitely go back....possibly when I go see the Book of Mormon!

    Great bar with fun ambience. Nicole was great, and was awesome. We loved the darts, pool and great patio.

    I share the view offered by many here, one of promise not fully tapped. The place is reminiscent of the Hotel Valley Ho with its hipsterish take on the mid-century modern look. The menu has a fresh local approach to the comfortable diner fare. The dishes while somewhat original don't really fulfill the their promise. The chicken in the chicken and waffles tasted like above average strips and the waffles were a tag limp and soggy. Still it is a new enterprise and I am confident that it can grow into becoming a good meal for those times when I'm down at ASU.

    In short: Poor service, decent but pricey food. The atmosphere is vibrant with a really weird assortment of decor. My first impression was two hipsters with multiple personality disorder decorated and didn't communicate with each other at all. The service was extremely slow, though courteous. Take out would be a good option otherwise not really worth the price.

    Service was strange. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes even though there were many available tables. When we got our coffees from the bar (as suggested by the waitress that greeted us), we were approached to be seated. A little weird. We sat for a while until someone finally came to get our orders. I got the Fat Hen Sandwich and my boyfriend got the Hash. My sandwich was delicious. The meat was so tender. Whatever sauce they used on the bun was a little sweet and it matched perfectly with the brisket. My boyfriend was impressed with his hash too. Real hash! None of that canned stuff here. We'll definitely come back.

    Come here!!!!! I had never had a grilled cheese in my life, and it was amazing!!!! Cheap (in a good way) champagne. I also heard the coffee and donuts are amazing. Not my hood, but will definitely come back to try the red velvet waffles! Also, our waiter was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing! I hope this place picks up business, it really deserves it.

    I hate giving this a bad review, I really do but...ewww. My friend and I both had the red velvet waffles and chicken. I was so excited because I love chicken and waffles. It was so disgusting. I am still having to stifle the urge to gag when I think about what the chicken looked like underneath the fried goodness. It was largely gristle and it was all dark brown meat. I have never had fried chicken and waffles and had it not be white meat so I guess I never thought to ask. My friend's was white so for her it was a great experience but for me I am still nauseated hours later. ALSO the restaurant was so warm that our server had sweat spots covering the underneath of her arms. Had I not been wearing black I probably would have showing signs of how hot I was too. I know my hair was killed before the show at gammage. The restaurant is cute. But you gotta work on the food and ac. for realzzzzzz. I miss ihop. They used the ac AND I was never fed grizzle.

    All I can say is wow! Ok, that isn't all I can say, but wow, this place was extremely good, especially for a brand new restaurant. They already have it together. The decor of this restaurant is cute, they have a wall covered in 8 tracks and everything has a 70's vibe. I said the bathroom was like the Jetsons because it is decorated with 70's flair, but has all modern technology (I don't think I had to touch a handle or button in the place...). More importantly, the food was very good and made with local ingredients. I had the breakfast sandwich (at the waitress's recommendation, go waitress!) and it was pretty fabulous. Melt in your mouth short rib that is bursting with flavor served with an over easy egg (that's the way it comes! I know!), tomato jam for a savory and slightly sweet touch, all served on a soft sweet bun. Absolutely wonderful! It came with a small portion of nicely cooked potatoes with peppers and onions (which were especially good when put on the sandwich). The husband had the pancakes, which tasted homemade.... and not 'homemade' from a box. The portion was huge, 3 giant pancakes... he couldn't finish them. Service was good, though the waitress couldn't tell me what kind of coffee they use (it was pretty good, though) and asked if we wanted cream, 1/2 and 1/2 or milk.... we said cream and got milk (ha!), but little things like that will get ironed out I'm sure. The prices here were fairly steep, breakfast was over 30$ with tax and tip, but the quality warranted (to some degree) the price (plus they bring out the check inside of an old book.... that definitely softens the blow of the price, ha!). I can't wait to come back and try their other menu items, including lunch and late night!!

    Just had brunch at the normal and we were left with only a mediocre experience. The place is newly renovated and it has a lot of charm. Service was okay, nothing stand out. I ordered the after school special (brisket grilled cheese w/tomato soup) and the husband ordered the sausage cheddar biscuits w/ gravy. I enjoyed my meal but felt like it was more of just a brisket sandwich, as the cheese flavor was hardly noticeable. When ordering the biscuits and gravy, we thought it would be a sausage gravy, but instead it was sausage links on the side. The sausages had great flavor but the biscuits and gravy fell flat, in fact the gravy was barely warm. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance sometime but we weren't that impressed.

    As others have said - Concept is great, but execution was poor. We arrived about 1pm and couldn't find any parking (maybe because the hotel was full?). Finally found parking on the street after 15 minutes. It would be nice if there was some reserved parking for the restaurant. Food was good, but seemed over priced for the diner atmosphere. I had the Green Bowl and my friends had pancakes for $10 a piece. (It's just $5.50 at NCounter on Mill Ave for pancakes) Server was nice, but the service was painfully slow considering there were only a handful of other tables. It was also freezing in there even though it was 110 degrees outside.

  • Quinn M.

    I love this place, and I have never had a bad meal or experienced poor service (John, especially, is awesome). The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because they removed my favorite item, the Fat Hen, from their new menu. I had even been assured that since it was a favorite it would not be removed from the menu. Alas! It seems management doesn't care. Please, if the Powers That Be of Normal Diner are reading this, please return the Fat Hen to its rightful place on your menu. Pretty please. With tomato jam on top.

    The chocolate malt was one of the more unfortunate experiences of ice cream pleasure. The other option is sugar cereal milk left to ferment, then blended. The waiter was a good guy, but slovenly in appearance and it took a freakin long while on a slow evening to produce a shake. Meh. I feel a bit harsh, but I paid five bucks for it. .. and it wasn't a "f-ing good milkshake".

  • Micaela R.

    don't get me wrong, the food at this place is exceptional, but between the uninspired service and ice box air conditioning I couldn't enjoy my quiche. After finding something reasonably priced on the menu from hell (chicken and waffles is $12.50!), I did enjoy it. Would I come back???? if they got a new wait staff, redid the decor and readjusted their prices back to reality. Sure, then I'd come back.

    Oh my goodness! I had to share this awesomeness that I had this week. The Normal Diner has great specials, I had The Barbecue Mushroom burger with Bacon for the lunch special. Would definitely try The Normal. You have to get The Blackboard special

  • Jacqueline G.

    Decor is amazing. Food was just average. I got the grilled cheese with BBQ brisket, good concept, but entirely too much bread and a little boring flavor wise. My best friend had the burger recommend by our server. The burger had no flavor. We could have made better food at home especially for the price of our entrees. I was disappointed because I really wanted to like this place, but don't know if I would go back or recommend.

  • Joel H.

    The staff here was incredibly friendly right off the bat. They made several recommendations, including the fat hen sandwich (awesome), quinoa salad and hash. I also had the half wedge salad with green goddess dressing. Highly recommended. If I had one negative thing to say, it would be that the stools at the bar don't have footrests, so if you're of a total normal height of 5'8" like myself, sitting there can be uncomfortable. Head for a table instead. As I sit here writing this review, our server just dropped off complimentary (and delicious!) sugar cookies with the check. Like Schwarzenegger in Teriminator 5, I'll be back.

  • Alexzander E.

    Food is overpriced. Waited 15 minutes to sit in a half-empty dining room. Waited 40 minutes for a cold, average meal. Potatoes are the size and texture of chicken feed, and are cooked in large batches every 16 years. Benedict was a hard-boiled egg. After surviving a twilight-zone experience at the sister-restaurant Tapacubo - a concept seemingly designed by and for the mentally ill - I don't know why I gave this place a shot, and I feel like a ninny. Positives: Bread was good. Decor has no shortage of cute ideas.

  • Tina B.

    I am really sad to write a bad review for this place but I have to...I'll make it sweet and simple. - They brought my Fat Hen Sandwhich without the potatoes saying they ran out... even though my boyfriends burrito was filled with them. No big deal but the toast they offered in it replacement was not equal in value. - The Fat Hen was dry... Really dry. - Cockroach...Yes there was a cock roach walking behind me on the wall. I literally jumped up out of my seat and to stand and eat my food for a good 5 minutes before anyone who worked there did anything about it. The fact they were so NONCHALANT about it, is what gets me.... Health code violation, anyone???? I really wanted to like this place because of the vibe it has and the concept but no....Very low standard for service and quality of.. everything.... I will never return. (I was told this property used to be a Denny's before it became The Normal...I would rather eat at Denny's before coming back.)

    This place has potential for so much more on a Sunday morning. I love everything about it. Although it feels like Beck and Wes Anderson designed the interior along with the menu. I hope to see more people inside with bottomless mimosas and a dj playing some tunes. However it's not a breakfast spot but more brunch.

  • K B.

    Trying too hard and not enough sums up the whole experience. I had been waiting a while to test this place out. Once we got inside something felt a little bit off about the place. The waiter we had was very socially awkward. He took a long time to give us a talk with some nervous jokes about the menu. It was tense and made it uncomfortable to order. The questions we had about items weren't really answered, he would just say items are awesome without explaining anything about the actual food tastes, suggestions, etc. It made me think he's never tried them. Once he took our order which came out pretty quickly he forgot an item of mine and said it would be right out. He told me what kind of hot sauces they had and then brought me the wrong kind. At that point he pretty much quit waiting on us and stopped filling our glasses of water. We had to grab another person to get my forgotten item and get our glasses of water refilled and get the correct hot sauce. The missing item came out when the rest of my meal was almost done. The vibe/interior design of the place felt like it was really reaching to be hip but falling short of the mark. The service was below standard and disappointing. The food was ok but I definitely won't be back for it.

    Awesome place!!! Alex was super cool !!! the place is clean, great service, very contemporary yet 50's feeling , non greasy , not your usual diner but better looking tasty food, great presentation :].. When I said not your usual place you have not to think about eggs bacon and bread, not at all , there is more than that, "food with style". The fact that they bring some art to it and some culture is a plus, such as your check(invoice) inside a small book , intensionally to motivate you to read part of it, insisting that you read some paragraphs that perhaps brings some knowledge and laughs. Over all is a place to enjoy food friends and infused cocktails. :} Love it!! CP

  • Paul L.

    Hmm. Love the concept and the hotel next door is equally clever. Service was fine but a bit from outer space. Server didn't know menu well and forgot the one addition I asked for (here for breakfast at 8am on Thursday). I had the fat hen sandwich. Good but challah roll not right for an egg sandwich. Too soft and flimsy. I get not wanting hard, dense bread, but this is too far in the other direction. Flavors very good though. Not sure poached egg is also what they should recommend for an egg sandwich. Two bites and it can't be a sandwich anymore (fork time). The pressed juice was delicious (I had "the norm"), but yelpers beware: the deal just says "free pressed juice" upon check in. Then it tells you after check in it is buy one get one. Not swell if you're alone. $20 for a good egg sandwich and really good juice is still too much. I hate when concepts come with this kind of price tag.

  • Ron B.

    This place gets five stars for a fun throw back diner vibe. Very hipster. Where the wheels fell off was the service and frankly the food. Hard to screw up bacon and eggs, but they did. With that being said, I would come back based upon reviews from others. I know what I am getting if I come back. Grilled cheese Braised short ribs on toast with tomato soup. Looked amazing.

    Cute atmosphere, greeted warmly but the food was not great. We dined at 10 am on a Saturday. It was not busy at all. We ordered the breakfast burger (which in fact does have a burger patty on it though not listed as such-like the rest of the burger options-only listed bacon. the waiter did not ask me how I wanted the burger cooked, also presuming there was no meat patty). A bison burger, cooked to order. The red pepper onion daily special quiche with fruit on the side. A single blue berry pancake. The breakfast burger was dry from the biscuit and meat to the skimpy addition of gravy, the egg was cooked firm also providing no added sauce, and in all quite bland in flavor. The breakfast potatoes are very spicy. The bison burger was spicy, cooked to order, but the bun was too sweet. The side of fries and ranch were amazingly tasty and picked over by the whole table! The quiche listed as the daily special was not what was brought to the table and took the waiter two trips to the cook to verify what was served. Ultimately that dish was removed from the ticket. The blue berry pancake was devoured by my son with out complaint. They tried very hard to make the order issue right by offering complimentary food but we declined based on our schedule restraints. Our waiter seemed tired, lost, distracted....the manager and door staff was very nice. Likely not to return, there are closer and better diners near me.

    I feel bad giving these guys a bad review, but I haven't been so underwhelmed by a restaurant in a long while so I had to hop on yelp and review these guys. I can tell you why this restaurant is so underwhelming - it presents itself as super chic, hipster and thoughtful and turns out to be just really "mehh" once the food comes out. It sets you up for disappointment; it literally kind of feels (and tastes) like all of the focus went into the decorations around you and the food is an afterthought. I went with my lady; we both immediately noticed on walking in how nice and tasteful everything looked albeit pretty hipster. We set down, looked over a pretty good-looking menu and I ordered the "gringo burrito" because I felt like a breakfast burrito. I know ordering something called the gringo burrito was probably a stupid idea in the first place, but I was pretty appalled to see the stupid thing come out wrapped in brown paper that had fused to the tortilla like glue which made it literally unwrappable without spilling the insides all over my plate. I basically had a lukewarm, inside out, bland tasting burrito with a soggy tortilla splayed out in front of me. The meat - chorizo I think it was supposed to be - tasted like literally nothing. Just some bland gritty filler to wrap with potatoes. I was instantly taken back to my elementary school cafeteria days and I had paid 12 dollars for it. It was around this point I made a mental note to hop on here and share my experience. That being said, the salsa they gave me with the burrito was pretty damn good and literally made the entire dish edible, and my lady's french toast wasn't bad but she wasn't impressed either. I give this place 2 stars for actually trying to put on a decent appearance, but other than that I am pretty mad at it for not even thinking its food decisions through. Who lets a burrito get soggy in paper before serving it? And who lets it taste that crappy? I'd be willing to bet whoever it was, they spent most of their brainpower on choosing what shape of lights to stick over the coffee bar or which old books would make good check-trays. Mehh

    Best place in town for a bloody. Always looking for someone who can replicate a good midwestern bloody mary, and this is definitely the place! Always helps when the service is exceptional, makes the whole experience more memorable and exactly the reason I am a returning customer. This place is exactly what Tempe needed.

    Definitely a try! Went for Breakfast food so I can't compare it to many others, but an improvement over other breakfast joints. More expensive than a Denny's or IHOP, but more quality variety.

  • Graham W.

    My meal (Burger) was good, but my wife's short rib hash thing was inedible. The dish lacked flavor and the potatoes in it were still raw and crunchy. We didn't see our server for about 15 minutes after she served it, so by the time she came back we were over our experience and just wanted to leave.

  • Brittany R.

    Cute place, nice people. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich (special), and the chicken breast was about 2 inches thick and served on the tiniest (albiet delicious) bun. It was impossible to eat, and the flavor was ok but not memorable at all. Sweet potato fries were delicious, homemade pickles were just ok. My friend had the wedge salad, and it was just terrible. Flavorless, just not good. Onions that looked pickled but weren't, overall badly dressed. We did enjoy a delicious donut afterwards and have it on good authority that the breakfast is much better. I should have had breakfast. I probably won't be going back. Menu is too small, essentially no vegetarian options. My bf is gluten-free and there's no way we could eat here.

    The Normal Diner makes 'normal' exquisite. Features homely, simple meals, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully. It may just be eggs and potatoes, but it is one of the best variations of eggs and potatoes you can find, A.K.A. 'The Minimum Wage' breakfast. Two flawless eggs over easy, crispy potatoes with herbs, spices, and sauteed poblanos add a small kick. Topped off with thick bacon, and toast of your choice. Portions are just right, even for an American restaurant. At first glance it seemed small but by the end of the meal I was left full with little on my plate. My roommate whom I dined with ate a dish with braised beef short rib, that was extremely tender. He even compared it to his mothers own cooking! The atmosphere and staff made the experience that more pleasant. The restuarants dress is spacious, retro, impeccably clean, and feels like a hodge-podge of decades past, featuring a wall decorated with 8 tracks, and leaving checks attached to dated paperback novels. All of the staff was amiable, and I had a few conversations with some of the waiters. The two waiters I chatted with were ASU students along with the majority of the staff that also appeared rather young. It makes me feel good, knowing I can leave a nice tip, for a waiter who absolutely deserved it, but for a waiter who is also a student. I am currently a graduate student at ASU, and it wasn't that long ago that I remember living off tips from strangers. It pleases me to see Normal Diner employing students, I remember the nightmare of an ihop that preceded Normal Diner. Not only was it bad for an ihop, but their staff was rather crotchety and old, certainly not employing Tempe's younger work force. Normal Diner, is far from 'normal'. I plan on returning frequently, next time I'll have to try their espresso! UPDATE: Their espresso is delicious and comes from a big beautiful pink espresso machine

    Stayed at the graduate for a few days while attending a spring training game and visiting Tempe so we decided to eat at the Normal diner which is right next door. Service was good, food was OK. My omelet had a lot of oil on it & the potatoes had too much onion Atmosphere is fun & the decor is pretty cool. I tried to use the free juice when u check in but it's B1G1 and my fiancé doesn't like that kind of juice so we passed

    I love this place! I celebrated my birthday with my daughter here. The waitstaff is very attentive and knowledgeable about the nenu. I enjoyed the Farmer's market omelet with short ribs special. Tasty perfectly cooked eggs topped a short ribs in Guajillo sauce. My daughter enjoyed Eggs Benedict. Both dishes came with Poblano Roasted Potatoes. We finished with cocktails of Moscow Mule - Authentic and tasty. The decor is old school classic with a modern twist. We loved the collection of eight tracks on the main wall in the back. I have to honesty say that this was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in years. The location is right on the ASU campus but you feel like you could be anywhere. I saw students and others of different ages come and go. It has a upbeat Friendly atmosphere. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying it as much we were. I'll be sure to return in the near future.

    First time diner here and it wasn't great but will give it another try in the future since they did comp my sandwich. The good: My friend and boyfriend both enjoyed their chicken and waffles and my friend said the burger was good. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were good too. The server was very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The not so good: The pomegranate tea has a bad aftertaste so don't order that. They brought me the other iced tea instead but it tasted like the cheap Lipton stuff (and costs $2.50). My friend ordered a cappuccino and it was hardly a latte (almost no foam). I had a breakfast sandwich and specifically said I don't eat meat and wanted to substitute avocado as well as add cheese. The sandwich arrived luke warm with no cheese (though a great amount of avocado!) and there was a big chunk of shredded meat in my potatoes and they were also hardly warm. The server offered to bring a replacement plate of potatoes and they were cold too! Basically it just seems like the kitchen needs some help. They were not busy at all when we arrived but perhaps the kitchen is understaffed. I'll give them another chance.

    Arrived in Phoenix and stopped by this place for a late dinner. Had the double burger and sweet potato fries. Both were good but the sweet potato fries and dipping sauce were really outstanding. Could have just eaten a huge plate of these. Stopped in the following morning for their hash breakfast. Again, no disappointment here. I'm not really a breakfast hash person but these were recommended and were excellent. Would definitely order again. Wait staff was impressive as well. Out of the way but quick to address any concerns. Coffee and waters were constantly topped off. Great experience all around. Need to go back and try the amazing looking bloody mary.

    Sooo disappointed! !! The first impressions are so important. Our first and last visit. The coffe was dood, 3.25 a cup. The menu has limited offerings. For a so called Normal Diner, there were only 2 meals that were normal. I could go on and on !!! So not worth it!

    Definitely will be returning to this place! The decor and atmosphere is beautiful and modern, but not pretentious. Most importantly, the food was amazing. I ordered the red velvet chicken and waffles and my boyfriend ordered the burger, and we both had the pomegranate iced tea. Everything was delicious! The iced tea was very unique and the chicken and waffles were perfection. Such a great idea to use boneless chicken to easily eat with the waffles. The chicken was tender, hot, and flavorful. I can't wait to go back to try the other delicious sounding meals and cocktails.

    We paid 40 bucks and left hungry. The Benedict was a measly 2 eggs with chorizo and muffin, with no side. 10.50. Ordered a side of potatoes for 4 bucks. Service was good, but the Benedict was way overpriced for what we ended up with. This place is more about the looks than the food. Maybe their lunch items are better. Not willing to waste another 40 bucks to see, though.

    My boyfriend and stopped in for a quick breakfast, so we just got coffee and pastries from the bar. I ordered a cappuccino, maple bacon donut, and a whoopie pie. The cappuccino and donut were delicious. We didn't really like the whoopie pie- so I would skip it. It looked cute though! Overall, the food was yummy and the place was super hip. I would totally come again.

    Went here for two meals while staying at the hotel with friends, in hindsight we probably should've eaten here every time because we had less luck on Mill. For breakfast, the acai bowl is super healthy and the fruit/granola toppings made it a great way to start the day. The place is like a diner on one side (Old IHOP- but with cocktails) and a coffee & pressed juice bar/cafe on the other side. Bison burger is the best I've ever had anywhere- just the perfect hatch chili spice to it. Impressive spot, you'll like.

    I have gone twice to the normal. My first visit was for dinner when it first opened. All of the staff was friendly. Our meals arrived hot and delicious. The second visit was for breakfast. I had coffee in my hand within a minute of ordering. The coffee was delicious! I ordered pancakes. Oh my! The had a slightly crunchy texture to the outside. They were some of the best I have ever had. I asked about sugar free syrup but the did not have it. Our waiter suggested agave syrup or blackberry jam. I went with the jam. It was homemade. It was not too sweet and it made my pancakes to die for. We brought company with us (me, my husband and 3 guest) everyone totally enjoyed their meal. I would highly recommend The Normal Diner!

    High quality breakfast, attentive service, groovy atmosphere. I ordered the Blackboard special, an egg white spinach and Swiss frittata and the wife had the Farmers Omelette which is egg white, goat cheese and fresh veggies. Both came with real potatoes. Some real TLC in the food prep. If you're looking for a greasy spoon this isn't it. However if you're looking for healthy eating, fresh ingredients, I recommend The Normal.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Pretty cool vibe. Was not busy and our food came out almost immediately. I ordered the Farmer Omelette and asked for peppers instead of squash. What was weird though, was that the omelette didn't taste like anything at all - super bland. Both the omelette AND the roasted potatoes were completely covered in onions. There is no mention of onions on the menu or else I would have ordered something different... Usually I can just take something off but this wasn't the case for this meal unfortunately. I get brunch every weekend and have never been anywhere where the potatoes are covered in onions so not sure why that's a thing here. My boyfriend ordered the Gringo Burrito and he said it was also super bland. We didn't order drinks because they were pretty pricey.

    We waited a little longer than comfortable to be seated this Sunday morning. However the food is really really good. We had the hash (warning: super spicy delish dish), quiche (yum, needed hot sauce, perfect crust), half order of excellent cheddar biscuits/gravy, and side of tender belly sausage. Cameron our server apparently thought we only needed one cup of coffee, even though we asked for refills twice. Still waiting as I write this in fact. Waiting. Oh! Here he is and now I am taking my refill of coffee to go. Great food, service needs work.

    This place is my new favorite! I had the Chicken & Waffles & the Bison Burger with Hatch Chilis, and a fried egg. The ingredients are free range, natural, fresh, and HIGH quality. The server was amazing and made us feel like one of the family. We will be back again, and again.

    Pretty cool little place. Although it took a little longer than expected to get my food it was worth it. We stayed next door at the Graduate so it worked out to have breakfast here. When I come back in town I will stay at the Graduate and have a bite to eat at the Normal Diner!

    What an awesome place! Crazy menu that just works and is super tasty. You should see what their Bloody Mary's look like! It's a meal and a drink all in one. If you order the French toast, make sure you can stomach all the sweets they put into it. I'll certainly be going back here!

    My party of six went to The Normal Diner for a light bite after a recent concert at ASU. It was only 10pm and there were maybe 10 other people in this huge diner, but we had some of the slowest service I have ever experienced. The lone waitress stood less than 10 feet from us, doing something on her computer (cashing out, entering tickets, etc.) Said "I'll be right with you" twice, kept on doing her thing. FINALLY a manager(?) brought water, then menus. We were eventually able to order: coffee, tea, fries, a shake, a piece of pie and a breakfast burrito. It all came out slowly & at different times. I admit that the burrito was delicious and the right temperature, but the experience had lost its luster by that time. The place is cute, but maybe it's better during the rush when the staff's adrenaline is coursing through their veins, but late night - not so much.

    I hate restaurants that are ALL SHOW. So they've recreated 50's diner style in a hip modern decor. SO FU**ING WHAT???!!! Ordered two of their house specialties for me and my dinner guest. Although we were among only 6 customers in the place, we waited for an HOUR and it still never came out of the kitchen. We just got up and left while their hapless young wait staff said how sorry they were! Will NEVER go back.

    Used to go to IHOP here, saw this place and decided to try it when my sister said she wanted chicken and waffles. Goddamned amazing chicken and waffles. I had the French bread, also incredible. Good looking place, not crowded. Clean and friendly. New favorite diner IMO. Menu is an eclectic take on classic diner fare.

    First impression was how clean it was as as we walked in the door. Even the restrooms were beautifully clean. Next was the food! we ordered the California burger. It was very tasty and had real avocado (no frozen goo)! My husband said his meat was more flavorful than a steak he'd had the nought before at an upscale place. Very impressed we will be back!

    took a while to cook my meal, considering it was mid-afternoon with less than 10 customers in the place, but the red velvet waffles were fantastic and the chicken was good too. thumbs up!

    Well that was unexpected! This place, as my mom would like to call it, is the bomb! I have been staying at the Graduate for the last week and I finally made it in for dinner...I really should have started eating here a week ago! I can see this place becoming a huge success. I will be back. Actually, I have already made plans on going there for breakfast!

    I went here for breakfast after reading about them on yelp here and it was okay. The food was alright, but for the price and the amount of the serving, it would be below average. Their coffee though is strong, I had a cup and a half and really can feel its affect for a few hours and I am a caffeine machine. I like their 70s decor which is one of my favorite, very comfortable and hip sort of. As for the food I ordered the fat hen sandwich(seems like one of their signature dish) which comes with a tiny amount of potatoes. The sandwich itself isn't all that big to be called the fat hen, maybe medium hen. The beef was similar to pulled pork or shredded beef and is alright, similar to a bbq sandwich but nothing special beside an egg on it. I wish they used a harder bread, with the hawaiian bun, the sauce is already so sweet, the bread did not need to be sweet and it breaks apart with the sauce in the meat . They should use maybe a toasted ciabatta or sourdough roll. Also there need to be a little more heat in the sauce or sourness which would really elevate the taste buds make it more complex sauce then just sweet. The potatoes were alright but there was not much of it. The whole thing with coffee will run 15.50 so that is a big price tag for what you get. I get the whole fine foods thing, but the food was not that fine so I would expect more generous portions. Again the coffee is really fine and strong though.

    Delicious, way better than my expectations for a diner. My family had the BBQ brisket sandwich, hash, pancakes, chicken and red velvet waffles, and the French toast. Everything was wonderful, including the atmosphere and the service. We are visiting the area and staying in the graduate hotel, but I'm honestly sad that I can't pack this place up to go. You should definitely try it! !

  • niki t.

    Outrageously overpriced! $3.25 for a cup of coffee! And it wasn't even good coffee! Guess they are trying to pay for their hipster decor, ah yeah, a wall of 40 or so 8-Tracks 'll set you back about $2.25. I ordered the queche, was told it was ham & cheese, no ham, just a sprinkle of cheese, and since the queche was pre-made, heated up in the microwave, the inside was cold. Staff was super nice, but I won't be back.

  • Samantha Z.

    Their "spicy" Bison burger has no kick at all, the spicy ketchup at Whataburger has more heat. Only really had cheese, meat and sauce on a bun, nothing else. It's was a very meh burger at a higher price of other really good burger places close by. All the stuff on their menu was overpriced. I'd pass on this place.

  • Mara R.

    Came here with my friend and I had an amazing burger! Nice and juicy not overcooked at all, perfectly done. The garlic french fries were delicious as well, and my friend enjoyed her minimum wage meal too, though she did comment that the eggs were a bit too spicy for her liking. Overall an excellent meal! :) Will definitely be coming back.

    This is a great find, attached to The Graduate Hotel, best fried chicken and waffles ever; the chicken is all boneless and very tasty and the waffles are red velvet, big plate too

    We've experienced the Normal 3 different times now and the experience has been consistent. We want to love and embrace this as our community go to for breakfast but they do have a little work to do. Given that Tempe now has so many great places to choose from, I feel that there is some improvement to be made. The patio is lacking aesthetically, a little cold given that they aren't seeing the sunshine through in that area. Some plants, pops of color, music & heat lamps could really make that area nice. They also have a coffee window (my favorite part) but is not inviting at all. The window is never open, when they take your order it slams shut and there is an itty bitty counter. Coffee is decent - I'm sure this will improve as they get their legs underneath them. Overall it's decent & I'm confident it will get better. The best part is the food. Great selection & prices, everything has been fresh. Very friendly staff! Patio is dog friendly too!

    Went there with a few people and it seemed like a good choice. Two of the people in my party ordered chicken and waffles and I ordered the crispy spiced chicken breast sandwich. The plates looked great but both chicken and waffle dishes were raw. Really disgusting. The chicken sandwich was undercooked as well. Never going back there. The server was very understanding about it all. The manager on the other hand didn't seem to sincerely care at all. Really too bad. I cannot recommend this establishment at all. Raw chicken doesn't deserve any stars.

    So happy I found myself at this new diner! Food was amazing and the staff and management were extremely helpful and friendly. Their food is made from scratch and also comes from local purveyors! They really made us feel like our business mattered... Can't wait to go back and try more items on their menu. Oh and PS if you don't get the "Redeemer" off the cocktail list you are seriously missing out. It's by far the best Bloody Mary I've ever had!

  • Monica O.

    Wanted to take my oldest out to eat, and she didn't feel like going anywhere fancy, so I convinced her to give The Normal a try, so off we went! She is a picky eater, and even she was able to find something she liked, she ordered the cheeseburger plan, just meat, cheese and bread and some sweet potato fries, she loved those fries! I went with the crispy spiced chicken breast sandwich and swapped the fries for the roasted poblano potatoes, delish! The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, it came with Applewood bacon, Swiss cheese, siriacha aioli on a roll, and this was a great tasting sandwich! And the roasted potatoes went will with it! Since that time I went with my daughter, I did wind up back at The Normal before I could finish the last update, so I am combining both on this review haha, this time it was on a Friday night before a show at The Gammage, and I have to say this place was poppin! I did learn from my program at the Gammage that if you show your tickets you can get 15% off your check at The Normal, I didn't know this, so I didn't, but next time you bet I will! I can say The Hash is still on point, that is just a great tasting dish, but what was the winning dish that night was the red velvet waffles and chicken, that chicken is amazing! Tender, sweet and perfect! Even though I had The Hash, I had plate envy and had to give it a try! The Normal is fast becoming a favorite of mine, and I'm sure I will be back soon!

    Decor - 5 star Service - 2 star (Waiter was friendly but looked like he never combed his bedhead hair. He also looked and sounded stoned. Food - a big disappointment! Eggs Benedict were supposed to come on a LGO English muffin. NOT! It wasn't even a Thomas' English muffin. Portion size was small and the chorizo tasted like the kind you squeeze out of a pouch. Both my friend and I were really disappointed with our experience here.

  • Elizabeth S.

    I actually strolled in here after a night of heavy drinking, just based upon the reviews of the red velvet waffles and chicken (which were outstanding) I will be back again. Service was a little weird, our server was great, but actually getting seated was a bit weird as we didn't know if we sat ourselves or if we were seated so we waited a few minuted and finally someone came over.

    After reading Yelp reviews of The Normal, w were looking forward to a delicious meal. But let's start with the staff... It was my 65th birthday and we were on our way to celebrate Wicked at Gammage. Despite it being slammed, the hostess quickly sat us at a table. Alex, shadowed by trainee, Cassandra, appeared, waters in hand, asking us what we wanted to order... Wedge salad, tomato soup and a brisket sandwich, and, hands down, the best crisp fried chicken in between red velvet waffle quarters. The salad wasn't a wedge and lettuce, unchilled, was unremarkable. A bit of créme fraiche swirled atop a homemade tomato soup accompanied a blah lukewarm brisket on toasted Texas bread. On the other hand, don't miss the flavorful red velvet waffle surrounding freshly fried chicken. Alex brought the tab promptly along with to go boxes. He offered this new senior citizen a dessert to go - bacon cream frosting - mmmmm. As we left, Alex suggested arriving about 90 minutes before any Gammage event. Good advice. Service - 5, Food - 3. Overall - 3+.

    (Lyrics - Madonna - Take A Bow) The Normal, the meal is starting This food review is getting better Nostalgic, the 8 tracks post Bo Bites is here Bring your drinks but do you taste it Do you mean what you serve when there's Bo Bites around Watching you, watching me, four happy stars I've always been wanting to try out you I guess you've always known it's true I took your location for granted, why oh why This food is awesome, say Oh-My! Baw-chika Baw Baw is more like it.....bringing the 70s back! There is nothing normal about The Normal unless we jumped in a time machine and went "back to the future"! The place is a welcoming change and definitely stylish with nostalgia. I came with a date and we generally like to order a lot to try a little bit of this and that. To start we went with a side of Red Velvet Waffles (yeah right!?), then a TC Chopped Salad. For entrees we ordered The Bison Burger and chef Blackboard; which was chefs choice of the day....or time; it was actually beef brisket street tacos. The Red Velvet Waffles was definitely interesting, it a minor hit of red velvet cake taste, but not strong. Fluffy and doughy at the same time and perfect with some butter and maple syrup. The chopped salad came with pepitas, corn, blueberry raisins, couscous, and shredded chicken breast. The pepitas and corn provided a crunchy and nutty bite while the raisins and couscous made it chewy and sweet; overall a solid healthy salad! The BBQ brisket tacos were probably the star of the night. Street as it should be and a spicy kick since it was topped with a couple red chili peppers! Sprinkle it with some lime and bam we're golden!. My least favorite of the meals was probably the Bison burger. I've had Bison burger many times elsewhere and it is never good in my opinion. The product should be left whole as a steak and to grind up such a premium ingredient is atrocious! Needless to say, I didn't care for it. The service was awesome thanks to our server Alex. He was attentive and helpful with the menu. Overall, a great place for some eats and to bring back some memories..... - Enjoy!

    The diner itself is beautiful. A+ job on the decor. there was barely anyone there when my parents and I came in to eat. We were seated and the server was very friendly. A bit too friendly. It's fine to ask how a customer is doing, but it border lines being annoying if you ask them more than 4 times. Wait time for the food took 25 minutes and made my parents both cranky. love the menu. Love the concepts. Execution was questionable. I had the spiced chicken sandwich and it was very filling. A bit big to bite into for a petite girl like me. That wouldn't be a problem but my father also faced the same situation with his sandwich, so he decided on using his fork and knife to cut it into pieces. Homemade buns were delicious but my fathers broke apart as if it was a day or two old. French fries were delicious. Price appropriate with the meals. The food looked good and tasted alright. borderline sub par because of the expectation from the other reviews.

    We enjoyed this diner! The wall of old 8 tracks somehow worked here - lol - cool to see some of the covers. You gotta say "right on" to the Chicken n Red Velvet Waffles! I got "The Hash" - it was pretty good. What I would absolutely be back for is the pressed juice (Had a Yelp check-in for buy one get one free!) - "The big Liverbowski" - 2 thumbs up! It's definitely got some healing powers.

    The place was nice from the outside and fairly new to Tempe. It used to be an old IHOP and boy does it have a new vibrant look and feel to it. Nice decor and I also enjoyed the music. The waitstaff was a bit inattentive though. The waitress also got my order wrong. I wanted to order the Bison burger but ordered the Graduate burger w/ spicy hatch chili, smoked mozzarella, and citrus mayo. It came plain as day with none of the toppings I ordered. My meal was rectified by bringing me my fixings on the sides. Once I, myself, put together the burger it was delicious. Good food. Just not amazing food. I would come here again.

  • Liz B.

    This place is adorable. They have a full dinning area, a typical diner bar, and a coffee shop area. They also make their own donuts. That's kind of where the stellar review stops. Had a typical two egg breakfast with potatoes and a mimosa. My friend had the same. I also ordered the red velvet waffle. Which lacked in flavor. I ordered a mimosa, which was really strong, no complaints here it was $7! And my friend ordered an extra spicy Bloody Mary. Our waitress was nice and the bathrooms were clean. For the price it was lack luster. I can eat this exact meal for half the price down the street.

  • Shawn R.

    I enjoy being here. The food is good, the atmosphere is great, and the service has improved. I ordered coffee with milk on the side and my server, Sequoia, brought the cup of coffee out on a plate with a spoon, and small metal pitcher of milk on a napkin all arranged on the plate. A classy way to serve coffee. Thanks for improving Normal Diner, see you again soon.

    First visit to The Normal was very promising. For those of you who are new to Arizona, ASU was previously known as Tempe Normal. Thus, the name. Love it. Located at the newly remodeled hotel now known as the Graduate. Love that name as well. Great location near Gammage Auditorium and the W.P. Carey School of Business. The restaurant has been nicely redone. No evidence that it was once an IHOP. A kind of retro feel. Very welcoming. Very friendly server who helped the vegetarian with whom I was dining maneuver the menu. We sat in place for a long time after our meal and felt no pressure to vacate our booth. Loved the use of vintage Western paperbacks to deliver the tab. Greeted promptly when we entered. Seated immediately. Offered beverages. Order taken the moment we were ready. Yes, perhaps evidence of a three week old restaurant with employees who are trying hard to please, but I sensed it might be sustainable. I was a little concerned The Normal might be positioned to become just another bad hotel restaurant. Happily, this does not seem to be the case. We only sampled two items. The burrito, modified for a vegetarian pallet, was excellent. The blue corn pancakes were unique. I would order them again, but they were a bit much by themselves and I would consider splitting entrees with a friend next time. I mentioned on a comment card that some color on the plate, perhaps just a slice of orange or the like, would help with its presentation and could break the taste. We appreciated The Normal's emphasis on sourcing locally... Not priced for starving students. Not too high priced. Just a little. The folks dining at The Normal this night appeared to be local, not captive hotel guests, which was nice. Five stars. While the food and surroundings were nice, it was the high level of customer service that made the difference.

    Would have never gone here if it was not for word of mouth from a few friends. This location used to be a Howard Johnson's Hotel and cafe for as long as I can remember. Not striking restaurant decor but better than Howard Johnsons. Don't know what to think of the 8 track tape wall. We ordered the Hash, Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles and French Toast. All 3 were excellent and prepared with very nice presentation. The Hash is actually Braised Beef Short Rib, Roasted Potatoes in Guajillo Chile Sauce topped with 2 eggs which was prepared perfectly. The Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles came out looking like the chicken was over cooked but was actually pretty good. The French Toast was prepared very well with the Meditera Baked House Brioche with Carmelized Bananas. We were in a hurry so the waitress helped us get in and out in a timely manner. The billed was tucked in an old paper back book. The restaurant definitely uses good quality ingredients and serves high quality food. Will be back to try other dishes and keep some of the ones we tried. Thanks The Normal Diner - Bon Appétit

    The best thing about the normal diner was the service. The waiters were very nice and attentive but not annoying. Exactly how I like it. The only thing was the food. I got an eggs Benedict with an over cooked egg and the potatoes were just warm. There's still potential so I may give them another shot.

    The food was very good, besides the fact the potatoes were served cold. Both the blackboard breakfast burger and gringo burrito were enjoyable, and reasonably priced. The ambiance was cozy and unique, although it was a bit loud. Overall it's a great place to have a nice brunch with the family.

    This diner is in the new mod style hotel called The Graduate. Apparently the site used to be an iHop but I would not have known it at all. They had it decorated really cool. It is your basic diner set up with stools at a counter and then a bunch of booths but there are a few glam touches like cool fabric patterns and light fixtures. The menu is likewise basic diner food glammed up a bit. Hubby had a burger and fries which he said was pretty good. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup which is always a favorite meal of mine no matter where I order it. The soup was creamy and delicious. The sandwich was made with Havarti cheese and had shredded beef brisket in it with a bbq sauce on it that really went well with the cheese. The bread was griddled so that it had the perfect crunch to it. The sauce on the beef was a bit too sweet but other than that it was really delicious. I loved the pomegranate iced tea as well... they do have some alcoholic drinks but we did not partake that evening. By the end of the meal we were both satisfied and happy. Our server brought out the check stuck into a '50s dime store paperback novel which I thought was a cute touch. I think this is a great option for dinner before a show at Gammage (it is right across the street) and so I am sure I will be back.

    I'm going to gush about 2 things in particular. The service, Evelyn, and the baked goods. For example, today they are featuring the biggest macaroons I have ever seen, fresh from the pastry chef. Mint chocolate.... come get some coffee, chat up the beautiful servers, and eat this. Leave a dollar for me for the tip. :)

    This place is really cute on the inside and has totally transformed from the ihop it was before. The menu is eclectic and has breakfast all day (plus!). I ended up going with the after school special which consisted of a bbq brisket grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was very good and the bbq sauce wasn't over powering. The sandwich and soup actually went really well together. Hubs got the bison burger and said it was ok. I unlocked the offer for a free coffee and got a latte. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it as the coffee wasn't that great and came out slightly warmed. Overall it's a cute place and I would go back and try a breakfast item.

  • Ryan J.

    I share the view offered by many here, one of promise not fully tapped. The place is reminiscent of the Hotel Valley Ho with its hipsterish take on the mid-century modern look. The menu has a fresh local approach to the comfortable diner fare. The dishes while somewhat original don't really fulfill the their promise. The chicken in the chicken and waffles tasted like above average strips and the waffles were a tag limp and soggy. Still it is a new enterprise and I am confident that it can grow into becoming a good meal for those times when I'm down at ASU.

    In short: Poor service, decent but pricey food. The atmosphere is vibrant with a really weird assortment of decor. My first impression was two hipsters with multiple personality disorder decorated and didn't communicate with each other at all. The service was extremely slow, though courteous. Take out would be a good option otherwise not really worth the price.

    I really wanted to like The Normal, I really did. But after the breakfast we had I have to say I don't. My boyfriend and I visited on Saturday morning. We got there a little before 9 and it wasn't very busy yet. In the parking lot there was a car with a backseat window smashed so that's awesome. I assume it happened overnight but who knows. Anyway, we were sat right away and given menus. Our waitress came over and offered drinks and asked us if we were ready to order. Considering we just sat down and this is a new restaurant that's not a chain, we said we needed a minute. She must have counted 60 seconds because she was back very quickly. I don't know what the hurry was but we ordered - I got the minimum wage (eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes) and my boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy. Our meals came out and the first thing we both noticed was my eggs. They looked really weird. Really crumbly and dry. They tasted kinda weird too - actually they didn't taste like anything - they were just bland and unappetizing. I'm guessing they were powdered? I've never had "eggs" like this before. The bacon was meh. The potatoes were pretty good and the homemade jam for the toast was good. (tip - ask for the jam, my toast came out with none) Boyfriend's biscuits were super dense. The sausage was overcooked and tough. For the price of the food, I would expect the quality to be much higher. By the time we were done the place had filled up. When our waitress left our check and said "have a nice day" she wasn't even looking at us. How sincere. We left feeling very unsatisfied and on the way out I commented that I wished it were still IHOP. It was a total bummer of a breakfast.

  • Erik K.

    Yo fuck this place. I ordered their gringo burrito because it sounded good (as does all of their menu items). When I got it, it was puny AF, cold in the middle, and the wrapper stuck to the burrito, so when I opened it, it all fell out. When I said something, my waiter offered me a cookie or a muffin... This place is overpriced and overrated. It should've never taken over IHOP.

  • Mon-Cheri H.

    Tried the Gringo Burrito & a side of plain potatoes and it was good, not greasy at all. But the Guava Mimosa's are fantastic! A must try next time I am going to try their signature Bloody Mary, the real thing looks just as amazing as the picture, definitely a meal in it self! Oh and our waitress Rosa was awesome!

  • Jason B.

    The Normal imho has a lot of endearing qualities when it comes to brunch, good service, cozy decor, an inviting ambiance, and guava juice mimosa (like whoa!) but that's it. I think what saddens me is the menu, it's just underwhelming comprised mostly of breakfast sandwiches and not many traditional breakfast options and omelettes. I guess I'm accustomed to having a little more options than just food items limited to one page, heck isn't it a diner, so, shouldn't there be a little more choices?! Now, their Red Velvet waffles and chicken strips is outstanding, the chicken is hella moist, and the Red Velvet waffle isn't dry and together with butter and syrup and the accompaniment of a mimosa makes for a joyous brunch but I think that's it. I have had their braised short rib hash, and yes it was spicy but it was okay, nothing impressive that I must have again. The Normal is good, not great and only worth it if you're catching a show at the Gammage because they're across the street and convenient but alas that's it. If you do find yourself in the vicinity, get the chicken and waffles, it's yummy!

    YUM! There were 9 of us here for a Yelp UYE Breakfast Club brunch this morning (thanks for setting this up Monica). This was a Howard Johnson's (and later HoJo then IHOP) location for many years and there were numerous and humorous homages to this retro past in the decor. Eight track tape collection on the wall, several large 1970s framed artwork pieces that had been re-arted with black markers, wacky collages, etc. The counter and booths were reminders of the diners from the 1950s and 60s. The Normal is the diner for The Graduate hotel and shares a parking lot with the hotel. I had "The Hash" for $11.95. Now, I was expecting the typical roast beef hash from the Midwest, but this is a tangy Southwest version of that classic dish. The dish included braised beef short rib meat, with poblano chili roasted potatoes in a chile sauce with 2 eggs sitting on top. There were 3 corn tortillas on the plate. The process of loading the contents of the plate into the tortillas was a little messy but provided a delicious, lightly spicy concoction. The portion size was large (forget having room for desert if you order this dish). Service was friendly and patient with our large group. Overall, a big (saucy) thumbs up for The Normal.

  • Christine L.

    I always come here when there's a play I'm going to at Gammage and it's not that bad. They might be a little bit more on the expensive side and they don't really have that much food either. They have about 10 signature dishes and then there are sides and drinks as well as dessert. I always order the minimum wage breakfast and it's really good, comes with 2 eggs (however you like it), sausage or bacon, potatoes, and toast - but I always subsitute it for their red velvet waffle. Their red velvet waffle is seriously to die for. It's soooooo good. Overall, food was great. But the service was kind of slow, and there wasn't that much people there every single time I went there; other than that, place is good.

    My mom and I saw Wicked last night and had dinner here before the show. As I walked in there was a super nice lady going out as I came in and she welcomed me in and came by our table a couple times to check on things so I'm assuming she was the manager/owner. Super sweet and I really loved the fact that she was actually working! Kaitee was our server and she was fantastic as well. We never needed anything as she was totally on top of it. We started of with fried cheese curds but they were totally overcooked as there was literally, absolutely no cheese inside. I had the grilled cheese and brisket sandwich with the homemade tomato soup. Soup was lukewarm but great and there was way too much sauce on the brisket. It overpowered the havarti and sourdough bread. Mom had the turkey avocado sandwich with soup and enjoyed it. Kaitee offered us dessert and we ordered the salted carmel ice cream, which it turned out they were out of but she got us some vanilla bean with homemade carmel sauce. Delicious! The decor was cute and the check presenter was a book which I thought totally fit the theme of the restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll definitely go back....possibly when I go see the Book of Mormon!

    Service was strange. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes even though there were many available tables. When we got our coffees from the bar (as suggested by the waitress that greeted us), we were approached to be seated. A little weird. We sat for a while until someone finally came to get our orders. I got the Fat Hen Sandwich and my boyfriend got the Hash. My sandwich was delicious. The meat was so tender. Whatever sauce they used on the bun was a little sweet and it matched perfectly with the brisket. My boyfriend was impressed with his hash too. Real hash! None of that canned stuff here. We'll definitely come back.

    Come here!!!!! I had never had a grilled cheese in my life, and it was amazing!!!! Cheap (in a good way) champagne. I also heard the coffee and donuts are amazing. Not my hood, but will definitely come back to try the red velvet waffles! Also, our waiter was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing! I hope this place picks up business, it really deserves it.

    I hate giving this a bad review, I really do but...ewww. My friend and I both had the red velvet waffles and chicken. I was so excited because I love chicken and waffles. It was so disgusting. I am still having to stifle the urge to gag when I think about what the chicken looked like underneath the fried goodness. It was largely gristle and it was all dark brown meat. I have never had fried chicken and waffles and had it not be white meat so I guess I never thought to ask. My friend's was white so for her it was a great experience but for me I am still nauseated hours later. ALSO the restaurant was so warm that our server had sweat spots covering the underneath of her arms. Had I not been wearing black I probably would have showing signs of how hot I was too. I know my hair was killed before the show at gammage. The restaurant is cute. But you gotta work on the food and ac. for realzzzzzz. I miss ihop. They used the ac AND I was never fed grizzle.

    I love this place, and I have never had a bad meal or experienced poor service (John, especially, is awesome). The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because they removed my favorite item, the Fat Hen, from their new menu. I had even been assured that since it was a favorite it would not be removed from the menu. Alas! It seems management doesn't care. Please, if the Powers That Be of Normal Diner are reading this, please return the Fat Hen to its rightful place on your menu. Pretty please. With tomato jam on top.

    The chocolate malt was one of the more unfortunate experiences of ice cream pleasure. The other option is sugar cereal milk left to ferment, then blended. The waiter was a good guy, but slovenly in appearance and it took a freakin long while on a slow evening to produce a shake. Meh. I feel a bit harsh, but I paid five bucks for it. .. and it wasn't a "f-ing good milkshake".

  • Micaela R.

    don't get me wrong, the food at this place is exceptional, but between the uninspired service and ice box air conditioning I couldn't enjoy my quiche. After finding something reasonably priced on the menu from hell (chicken and waffles is $12.50!), I did enjoy it. Would I come back???? if they got a new wait staff, redid the decor and readjusted their prices back to reality. Sure, then I'd come back.

    All I can say is wow! Ok, that isn't all I can say, but wow, this place was extremely good, especially for a brand new restaurant. They already have it together. The decor of this restaurant is cute, they have a wall covered in 8 tracks and everything has a 70's vibe. I said the bathroom was like the Jetsons because it is decorated with 70's flair, but has all modern technology (I don't think I had to touch a handle or button in the place...). More importantly, the food was very good and made with local ingredients. I had the breakfast sandwich (at the waitress's recommendation, go waitress!) and it was pretty fabulous. Melt in your mouth short rib that is bursting with flavor served with an over easy egg (that's the way it comes! I know!), tomato jam for a savory and slightly sweet touch, all served on a soft sweet bun. Absolutely wonderful! It came with a small portion of nicely cooked potatoes with peppers and onions (which were especially good when put on the sandwich). The husband had the pancakes, which tasted homemade.... and not 'homemade' from a box. The portion was huge, 3 giant pancakes... he couldn't finish them. Service was good, though the waitress couldn't tell me what kind of coffee they use (it was pretty good, though) and asked if we wanted cream, 1/2 and 1/2 or milk.... we said cream and got milk (ha!), but little things like that will get ironed out I'm sure. The prices here were fairly steep, breakfast was over 30$ with tax and tip, but the quality warranted (to some degree) the price (plus they bring out the check inside of an old book.... that definitely softens the blow of the price, ha!). I can't wait to come back and try their other menu items, including lunch and late night!!

    Just had brunch at the normal and we were left with only a mediocre experience. The place is newly renovated and it has a lot of charm. Service was okay, nothing stand out. I ordered the after school special (brisket grilled cheese w/tomato soup) and the husband ordered the sausage cheddar biscuits w/ gravy. I enjoyed my meal but felt like it was more of just a brisket sandwich, as the cheese flavor was hardly noticeable. When ordering the biscuits and gravy, we thought it would be a sausage gravy, but instead it was sausage links on the side. The sausages had great flavor but the biscuits and gravy fell flat, in fact the gravy was barely warm. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance sometime but we weren't that impressed.

    As others have said - Concept is great, but execution was poor. We arrived about 1pm and couldn't find any parking (maybe because the hotel was full?). Finally found parking on the street after 15 minutes. It would be nice if there was some reserved parking for the restaurant. Food was good, but seemed over priced for the diner atmosphere. I had the Green Bowl and my friends had pancakes for $10 a piece. (It's just $5.50 at NCounter on Mill Ave for pancakes) Server was nice, but the service was painfully slow considering there were only a handful of other tables. It was also freezing in there even though it was 110 degrees outside.

    Oh my goodness! I had to share this awesomeness that I had this week. The Normal Diner has great specials, I had The Barbecue Mushroom burger with Bacon for the lunch special. Would definitely try The Normal. You have to get The Blackboard special

  • Jacqueline G.

    Decor is amazing. Food was just average. I got the grilled cheese with BBQ brisket, good concept, but entirely too much bread and a little boring flavor wise. My best friend had the burger recommend by our server. The burger had no flavor. We could have made better food at home especially for the price of our entrees. I was disappointed because I really wanted to like this place, but don't know if I would go back or recommend.

  • Joel H.

    The staff here was incredibly friendly right off the bat. They made several recommendations, including the fat hen sandwich (awesome), quinoa salad and hash. I also had the half wedge salad with green goddess dressing. Highly recommended. If I had one negative thing to say, it would be that the stools at the bar don't have footrests, so if you're of a total normal height of 5'8" like myself, sitting there can be uncomfortable. Head for a table instead. As I sit here writing this review, our server just dropped off complimentary (and delicious!) sugar cookies with the check. Like Schwarzenegger in Teriminator 5, I'll be back.

  • Alexzander E.

    Food is overpriced. Waited 15 minutes to sit in a half-empty dining room. Waited 40 minutes for a cold, average meal. Potatoes are the size and texture of chicken feed, and are cooked in large batches every 16 years. Benedict was a hard-boiled egg. After surviving a twilight-zone experience at the sister-restaurant Tapacubo - a concept seemingly designed by and for the mentally ill - I don't know why I gave this place a shot, and I feel like a ninny. Positives: Bread was good. Decor has no shortage of cute ideas.

  • Tina B.

    I am really sad to write a bad review for this place but I have to...I'll make it sweet and simple. - They brought my Fat Hen Sandwhich without the potatoes saying they ran out... even though my boyfriends burrito was filled with them. No big deal but the toast they offered in it replacement was not equal in value. - The Fat Hen was dry... Really dry. - Cockroach...Yes there was a cock roach walking behind me on the wall. I literally jumped up out of my seat and to stand and eat my food for a good 5 minutes before anyone who worked there did anything about it. The fact they were so NONCHALANT about it, is what gets me.... Health code violation, anyone???? I really wanted to like this place because of the vibe it has and the concept but no....Very low standard for service and quality of.. everything.... I will never return. (I was told this property used to be a Denny's before it became The Normal...I would rather eat at Denny's before coming back.)

    This place has potential for so much more on a Sunday morning. I love everything about it. Although it feels like Beck and Wes Anderson designed the interior along with the menu. I hope to see more people inside with bottomless mimosas and a dj playing some tunes. However it's not a breakfast spot but more brunch.

  • K B.

    Trying too hard and not enough sums up the whole experience. I had been waiting a while to test this place out. Once we got inside something felt a little bit off about the place. The waiter we had was very socially awkward. He took a long time to give us a talk with some nervous jokes about the menu. It was tense and made it uncomfortable to order. The questions we had about items weren't really answered, he would just say items are awesome without explaining anything about the actual food tastes, suggestions, etc. It made me think he's never tried them. Once he took our order which came out pretty quickly he forgot an item of mine and said it would be right out. He told me what kind of hot sauces they had and then brought me the wrong kind. At that point he pretty much quit waiting on us and stopped filling our glasses of water. We had to grab another person to get my forgotten item and get our glasses of water refilled and get the correct hot sauce. The missing item came out when the rest of my meal was almost done. The vibe/interior design of the place felt like it was really reaching to be hip but falling short of the mark. The service was below standard and disappointing. The food was ok but I definitely won't be back for it.

  • Paul L.

    Hmm. Love the concept and the hotel next door is equally clever. Service was fine but a bit from outer space. Server didn't know menu well and forgot the one addition I asked for (here for breakfast at 8am on Thursday). I had the fat hen sandwich. Good but challah roll not right for an egg sandwich. Too soft and flimsy. I get not wanting hard, dense bread, but this is too far in the other direction. Flavors very good though. Not sure poached egg is also what they should recommend for an egg sandwich. Two bites and it can't be a sandwich anymore (fork time). The pressed juice was delicious (I had "the norm"), but yelpers beware: the deal just says "free pressed juice" upon check in. Then it tells you after check in it is buy one get one. Not swell if you're alone. $20 for a good egg sandwich and really good juice is still too much. I hate when concepts come with this kind of price tag.

    This place gets five stars for a fun throw back diner vibe. Very hipster. Where the wheels fell off was the service and frankly the food. Hard to screw up bacon and eggs, but they did. With that being said, I would come back based upon reviews from others. I know what I am getting if I come back. Grilled cheese Braised short ribs on toast with tomato soup. Looked amazing.

    Cute atmosphere, greeted warmly but the food was not great. We dined at 10 am on a Saturday. It was not busy at all. We ordered the breakfast burger (which in fact does have a burger patty on it though not listed as such-like the rest of the burger options-only listed bacon. the waiter did not ask me how I wanted the burger cooked, also presuming there was no meat patty). A bison burger, cooked to order. The red pepper onion daily special quiche with fruit on the side. A single blue berry pancake. The breakfast burger was dry from the biscuit and meat to the skimpy addition of gravy, the egg was cooked firm also providing no added sauce, and in all quite bland in flavor. The breakfast potatoes are very spicy. The bison burger was spicy, cooked to order, but the bun was too sweet. The side of fries and ranch were amazingly tasty and picked over by the whole table! The quiche listed as the daily special was not what was brought to the table and took the waiter two trips to the cook to verify what was served. Ultimately that dish was removed from the ticket. The blue berry pancake was devoured by my son with out complaint. They tried very hard to make the order issue right by offering complimentary food but we declined based on our schedule restraints. Our waiter seemed tired, lost, distracted....the manager and door staff was very nice. Likely not to return, there are closer and better diners near me.

    I feel bad giving these guys a bad review, but I haven't been so underwhelmed by a restaurant in a long while so I had to hop on yelp and review these guys. I can tell you why this restaurant is so underwhelming - it presents itself as super chic, hipster and thoughtful and turns out to be just really "mehh" once the food comes out. It sets you up for disappointment; it literally kind of feels (and tastes) like all of the focus went into the decorations around you and the food is an afterthought. I went with my lady; we both immediately noticed on walking in how nice and tasteful everything looked albeit pretty hipster. We set down, looked over a pretty good-looking menu and I ordered the "gringo burrito" because I felt like a breakfast burrito. I know ordering something called the gringo burrito was probably a stupid idea in the first place, but I was pretty appalled to see the stupid thing come out wrapped in brown paper that had fused to the tortilla like glue which made it literally unwrappable without spilling the insides all over my plate. I basically had a lukewarm, inside out, bland tasting burrito with a soggy tortilla splayed out in front of me. The meat - chorizo I think it was supposed to be - tasted like literally nothing. Just some bland gritty filler to wrap with potatoes. I was instantly taken back to my elementary school cafeteria days and I had paid 12 dollars for it. It was around this point I made a mental note to hop on here and share my experience. That being said, the salsa they gave me with the burrito was pretty damn good and literally made the entire dish edible, and my lady's french toast wasn't bad but she wasn't impressed either. I give this place 2 stars for actually trying to put on a decent appearance, but other than that I am pretty mad at it for not even thinking its food decisions through. Who lets a burrito get soggy in paper before serving it? And who lets it taste that crappy? I'd be willing to bet whoever it was, they spent most of their brainpower on choosing what shape of lights to stick over the coffee bar or which old books would make good check-trays. Mehh

    Best place in town for a bloody. Always looking for someone who can replicate a good midwestern bloody mary, and this is definitely the place! Always helps when the service is exceptional, makes the whole experience more memorable and exactly the reason I am a returning customer. This place is exactly what Tempe needed.

    Definitely a try! Went for Breakfast food so I can't compare it to many others, but an improvement over other breakfast joints. More expensive than a Denny's or IHOP, but more quality variety.

  • Graham W.

    My meal (Burger) was good, but my wife's short rib hash thing was inedible. The dish lacked flavor and the potatoes in it were still raw and crunchy. We didn't see our server for about 15 minutes after she served it, so by the time she came back we were over our experience and just wanted to leave.

  • Brittany R.

    Cute place, nice people. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich (special), and the chicken breast was about 2 inches thick and served on the tiniest (albiet delicious) bun. It was impossible to eat, and the flavor was ok but not memorable at all. Sweet potato fries were delicious, homemade pickles were just ok. My friend had the wedge salad, and it was just terrible. Flavorless, just not good. Onions that looked pickled but weren't, overall badly dressed. We did enjoy a delicious donut afterwards and have it on good authority that the breakfast is much better. I should have had breakfast. I probably won't be going back. Menu is too small, essentially no vegetarian options. My bf is gluten-free and there's no way we could eat here.

    The Normal Diner makes 'normal' exquisite. Features homely, simple meals, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully. It may just be eggs and potatoes, but it is one of the best variations of eggs and potatoes you can find, A.K.A. 'The Minimum Wage' breakfast. Two flawless eggs over easy, crispy potatoes with herbs, spices, and sauteed poblanos add a small kick. Topped off with thick bacon, and toast of your choice. Portions are just right, even for an American restaurant. At first glance it seemed small but by the end of the meal I was left full with little on my plate. My roommate whom I dined with ate a dish with braised beef short rib, that was extremely tender. He even compared it to his mothers own cooking! The atmosphere and staff made the experience that more pleasant. The restuarants dress is spacious, retro, impeccably clean, and feels like a hodge-podge of decades past, featuring a wall decorated with 8 tracks, and leaving checks attached to dated paperback novels. All of the staff was amiable, and I had a few conversations with some of the waiters. The two waiters I chatted with were ASU students along with the majority of the staff that also appeared rather young. It makes me feel good, knowing I can leave a nice tip, for a waiter who absolutely deserved it, but for a waiter who is also a student. I am currently a graduate student at ASU, and it wasn't that long ago that I remember living off tips from strangers. It pleases me to see Normal Diner employing students, I remember the nightmare of an ihop that preceded Normal Diner. Not only was it bad for an ihop, but their staff was rather crotchety and old, certainly not employing Tempe's younger work force. Normal Diner, is far from 'normal'. I plan on returning frequently, next time I'll have to try their espresso! UPDATE: Their espresso is delicious and comes from a big beautiful pink espresso machine

    Stayed at the graduate for a few days while attending a spring training game and visiting Tempe so we decided to eat at the Normal diner which is right next door. Service was good, food was OK. My omelet had a lot of oil on it & the potatoes had too much onion Atmosphere is fun & the decor is pretty cool. I tried to use the free juice when u check in but it's B1G1 and my fiancé doesn't like that kind of juice so we passed

    Awesome place!!! Alex was super cool !!! the place is clean, great service, very contemporary yet 50's feeling , non greasy , not your usual diner but better looking tasty food, great presentation :].. When I said not your usual place you have not to think about eggs bacon and bread, not at all , there is more than that, "food with style". The fact that they bring some art to it and some culture is a plus, such as your check(invoice) inside a small book , intensionally to motivate you to read part of it, insisting that you read some paragraphs that perhaps brings some knowledge and laughs. Over all is a place to enjoy food friends and infused cocktails. :} Love it!! CP

    I love this place! I celebrated my birthday with my daughter here. The waitstaff is very attentive and knowledgeable about the nenu. I enjoyed the Farmer's market omelet with short ribs special. Tasty perfectly cooked eggs topped a short ribs in Guajillo sauce. My daughter enjoyed Eggs Benedict. Both dishes came with Poblano Roasted Potatoes. We finished with cocktails of Moscow Mule - Authentic and tasty. The decor is old school classic with a modern twist. We loved the collection of eight tracks on the main wall in the back. I have to honesty say that this was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in years. The location is right on the ASU campus but you feel like you could be anywhere. I saw students and others of different ages come and go. It has a upbeat Friendly atmosphere. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying it as much we were. I'll be sure to return in the near future.

    First time diner here and it wasn't great but will give it another try in the future since they did comp my sandwich. The good: My friend and boyfriend both enjoyed their chicken and waffles and my friend said the burger was good. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were good too. The server was very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The not so good: The pomegranate tea has a bad aftertaste so don't order that. They brought me the other iced tea instead but it tasted like the cheap Lipton stuff (and costs $2.50). My friend ordered a cappuccino and it was hardly a latte (almost no foam). I had a breakfast sandwich and specifically said I don't eat meat and wanted to substitute avocado as well as add cheese. The sandwich arrived luke warm with no cheese (though a great amount of avocado!) and there was a big chunk of shredded meat in my potatoes and they were also hardly warm. The server offered to bring a replacement plate of potatoes and they were cold too! Basically it just seems like the kitchen needs some help. They were not busy at all when we arrived but perhaps the kitchen is understaffed. I'll give them another chance.

    Arrived in Phoenix and stopped by this place for a late dinner. Had the double burger and sweet potato fries. Both were good but the sweet potato fries and dipping sauce were really outstanding. Could have just eaten a huge plate of these. Stopped in the following morning for their hash breakfast. Again, no disappointment here. I'm not really a breakfast hash person but these were recommended and were excellent. Would definitely order again. Wait staff was impressive as well. Out of the way but quick to address any concerns. Coffee and waters were constantly topped off. Great experience all around. Need to go back and try the amazing looking bloody mary.

    Sooo disappointed! !! The first impressions are so important. Our first and last visit. The coffe was dood, 3.25 a cup. The menu has limited offerings. For a so called Normal Diner, there were only 2 meals that were normal. I could go on and on !!! So not worth it!

    Definitely will be returning to this place! The decor and atmosphere is beautiful and modern, but not pretentious. Most importantly, the food was amazing. I ordered the red velvet chicken and waffles and my boyfriend ordered the burger, and we both had the pomegranate iced tea. Everything was delicious! The iced tea was very unique and the chicken and waffles were perfection. Such a great idea to use boneless chicken to easily eat with the waffles. The chicken was tender, hot, and flavorful. I can't wait to go back to try the other delicious sounding meals and cocktails.

    We paid 40 bucks and left hungry. The Benedict was a measly 2 eggs with chorizo and muffin, with no side. 10.50. Ordered a side of potatoes for 4 bucks. Service was good, but the Benedict was way overpriced for what we ended up with. This place is more about the looks than the food. Maybe their lunch items are better. Not willing to waste another 40 bucks to see, though.

    So we were extremely excited to try this place out It is very close home and work And I must say, we were not disappointed in the least. Renovations look great and Cameron, our server, was nice and knowledgeable.

    My boyfriend and stopped in for a quick breakfast, so we just got coffee and pastries from the bar. I ordered a cappuccino, maple bacon donut, and a whoopie pie. The cappuccino and donut were delicious. We didn't really like the whoopie pie- so I would skip it. It looked cute though! Overall, the food was yummy and the place was super hip. I would totally come again.

    Went here for two meals while staying at the hotel with friends, in hindsight we probably should've eaten here every time because we had less luck on Mill. For breakfast, the acai bowl is super healthy and the fruit/granola toppings made it a great way to start the day. The place is like a diner on one side (Old IHOP- but with cocktails) and a coffee & pressed juice bar/cafe on the other side. Bison burger is the best I've ever had anywhere- just the perfect hatch chili spice to it. Impressive spot, you'll like.

    I have gone twice to the normal. My first visit was for dinner when it first opened. All of the staff was friendly. Our meals arrived hot and delicious. The second visit was for breakfast. I had coffee in my hand within a minute of ordering. The coffee was delicious! I ordered pancakes. Oh my! The had a slightly crunchy texture to the outside. They were some of the best I have ever had. I asked about sugar free syrup but the did not have it. Our waiter suggested agave syrup or blackberry jam. I went with the jam. It was homemade. It was not too sweet and it made my pancakes to die for. We brought company with us (me, my husband and 3 guest) everyone totally enjoyed their meal. I would highly recommend The Normal Diner!

    High quality breakfast, attentive service, groovy atmosphere. I ordered the Blackboard special, an egg white spinach and Swiss frittata and the wife had the Farmers Omelette which is egg white, goat cheese and fresh veggies. Both came with real potatoes. Some real TLC in the food prep. If you're looking for a greasy spoon this isn't it. However if you're looking for healthy eating, fresh ingredients, I recommend The Normal.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Pretty cool vibe. Was not busy and our food came out almost immediately. I ordered the Farmer Omelette and asked for peppers instead of squash. What was weird though, was that the omelette didn't taste like anything at all - super bland. Both the omelette AND the roasted potatoes were completely covered in onions. There is no mention of onions on the menu or else I would have ordered something different... Usually I can just take something off but this wasn't the case for this meal unfortunately. I get brunch every weekend and have never been anywhere where the potatoes are covered in onions so not sure why that's a thing here. My boyfriend ordered the Gringo Burrito and he said it was also super bland. We didn't order drinks because they were pretty pricey.

    We waited a little longer than comfortable to be seated this Sunday morning. However the food is really really good. We had the hash (warning: super spicy delish dish), quiche (yum, needed hot sauce, perfect crust), half order of excellent cheddar biscuits/gravy, and side of tender belly sausage. Cameron our server apparently thought we only needed one cup of coffee, even though we asked for refills twice. Still waiting as I write this in fact. Waiting. Oh! Here he is and now I am taking my refill of coffee to go. Great food, service needs work.

    This place is my new favorite! I had the Chicken & Waffles & the Bison Burger with Hatch Chilis, and a fried egg. The ingredients are free range, natural, fresh, and HIGH quality. The server was amazing and made us feel like one of the family. We will be back again, and again.

    Pretty cool little place. Although it took a little longer than expected to get my food it was worth it. We stayed next door at the Graduate so it worked out to have breakfast here. When I come back in town I will stay at the Graduate and have a bite to eat at the Normal Diner!

    What an awesome place! Crazy menu that just works and is super tasty. You should see what their Bloody Mary's look like! It's a meal and a drink all in one. If you order the French toast, make sure you can stomach all the sweets they put into it. I'll certainly be going back here!

    My party of six went to The Normal Diner for a light bite after a recent concert at ASU. It was only 10pm and there were maybe 10 other people in this huge diner, but we had some of the slowest service I have ever experienced. The lone waitress stood less than 10 feet from us, doing something on her computer (cashing out, entering tickets, etc.) Said "I'll be right with you" twice, kept on doing her thing. FINALLY a manager(?) brought water, then menus. We were eventually able to order: coffee, tea, fries, a shake, a piece of pie and a breakfast burrito. It all came out slowly & at different times. I admit that the burrito was delicious and the right temperature, but the experience had lost its luster by that time. The place is cute, but maybe it's better during the rush when the staff's adrenaline is coursing through their veins, but late night - not so much.

    I hate restaurants that are ALL SHOW. So they've recreated 50's diner style in a hip modern decor. SO FU**ING WHAT???!!! Ordered two of their house specialties for me and my dinner guest. Although we were among only 6 customers in the place, we waited for an HOUR and it still never came out of the kitchen. We just got up and left while their hapless young wait staff said how sorry they were! Will NEVER go back.

    Used to go to IHOP here, saw this place and decided to try it when my sister said she wanted chicken and waffles. Goddamned amazing chicken and waffles. I had the French bread, also incredible. Good looking place, not crowded. Clean and friendly. New favorite diner IMO. Menu is an eclectic take on classic diner fare.

    First impression was how clean it was as as we walked in the door. Even the restrooms were beautifully clean. Next was the food! we ordered the California burger. It was very tasty and had real avocado (no frozen goo)! My husband said his meat was more flavorful than a steak he'd had the nought before at an upscale place. Very impressed we will be back!

    I went here for breakfast after reading about them on yelp here and it was okay. The food was alright, but for the price and the amount of the serving, it would be below average. Their coffee though is strong, I had a cup and a half and really can feel its affect for a few hours and I am a caffeine machine. I like their 70s decor which is one of my favorite, very comfortable and hip sort of. As for the food I ordered the fat hen sandwich(seems like one of their signature dish) which comes with a tiny amount of potatoes. The sandwich itself isn't all that big to be called the fat hen, maybe medium hen. The beef was similar to pulled pork or shredded beef and is alright, similar to a bbq sandwich but nothing special beside an egg on it. I wish they used a harder bread, with the hawaiian bun, the sauce is already so sweet, the bread did not need to be sweet and it breaks apart with the sauce in the meat . They should use maybe a toasted ciabatta or sourdough roll. Also there need to be a little more heat in the sauce or sourness which would really elevate the taste buds make it more complex sauce then just sweet. The potatoes were alright but there was not much of it. The whole thing with coffee will run 15.50 so that is a big price tag for what you get. I get the whole fine foods thing, but the food was not that fine so I would expect more generous portions. Again the coffee is really fine and strong though.

    Delicious, way better than my expectations for a diner. My family had the BBQ brisket sandwich, hash, pancakes, chicken and red velvet waffles, and the French toast. Everything was wonderful, including the atmosphere and the service. We are visiting the area and staying in the graduate hotel, but I'm honestly sad that I can't pack this place up to go. You should definitely try it! !

    Outrageously overpriced! $3.25 for a cup of coffee! And it wasn't even good coffee! Guess they are trying to pay for their hipster decor, ah yeah, a wall of 40 or so 8-Tracks 'll set you back about $2.25. I ordered the queche, was told it was ham & cheese, no ham, just a sprinkle of cheese, and since the queche was pre-made, heated up in the microwave, the inside was cold. Staff was super nice, but I won't be back.

  • Samantha Z.

    Their "spicy" Bison burger has no kick at all, the spicy ketchup at Whataburger has more heat. Only really had cheese, meat and sauce on a bun, nothing else. It's was a very meh burger at a higher price of other really good burger places close by. All the stuff on their menu was overpriced. I'd pass on this place.

    Came here with my friend and I had an amazing burger! Nice and juicy not overcooked at all, perfectly done. The garlic french fries were delicious as well, and my friend enjoyed her minimum wage meal too, though she did comment that the eggs were a bit too spicy for her liking. Overall an excellent meal! :) Will definitely be coming back.

    This is a great find, attached to The Graduate Hotel, best fried chicken and waffles ever; the chicken is all boneless and very tasty and the waffles are red velvet, big plate too

    took a while to cook my meal, considering it was mid-afternoon with less than 10 customers in the place, but the red velvet waffles were fantastic and the chicken was good too. thumbs up!

  • Cameron J.

    Well that was unexpected! This place, as my mom would like to call it, is the bomb! I have been staying at the Graduate for the last week and I finally made it in for dinner...I really should have started eating here a week ago! I can see this place becoming a huge success. I will be back. Actually, I have already made plans on going there for breakfast!

    We've experienced the Normal 3 different times now and the experience has been consistent. We want to love and embrace this as our community go to for breakfast but they do have a little work to do. Given that Tempe now has so many great places to choose from, I feel that there is some improvement to be made. The patio is lacking aesthetically, a little cold given that they aren't seeing the sunshine through in that area. Some plants, pops of color, music & heat lamps could really make that area nice. They also have a coffee window (my favorite part) but is not inviting at all. The window is never open, when they take your order it slams shut and there is an itty bitty counter. Coffee is decent - I'm sure this will improve as they get their legs underneath them. Overall it's decent & I'm confident it will get better. The best part is the food. Great selection & prices, everything has been fresh. Very friendly staff! Patio is dog friendly too!

    Went there with a few people and it seemed like a good choice. Two of the people in my party ordered chicken and waffles and I ordered the crispy spiced chicken breast sandwich. The plates looked great but both chicken and waffle dishes were raw. Really disgusting. The chicken sandwich was undercooked as well. Never going back there. The server was very understanding about it all. The manager on the other hand didn't seem to sincerely care at all. Really too bad. I cannot recommend this establishment at all. Raw chicken doesn't deserve any stars.

    So happy I found myself at this new diner! Food was amazing and the staff and management were extremely helpful and friendly. Their food is made from scratch and also comes from local purveyors! They really made us feel like our business mattered... Can't wait to go back and try more items on their menu. Oh and PS if you don't get the "Redeemer" off the cocktail list you are seriously missing out. It's by far the best Bloody Mary I've ever had!

    This place has really come along way since its early days. Eaten here twice recently, both dinner and breakfast. Reasonable priced and high quality. I recommend the fried pickles and sea salt chocolate chip cookies. Both the french toast and biscuit breakfast sandwich were also excellent. Try the maple bacon bar for a decadent treat. Will be back due to the great service and no wait times for Friday night / Saturday morning.

    I'm not sure which I was a bigger fan of; the delicious fried chicken and red velvet waffle or the ample free parking in the facist parking state that is the ASU area. This diner is in the Graduate hotel and is a really nice spot for breakfast, lunch or brunch. The menu offerings range from standard breakfast to quiches, sandwiches, burgers and the aforementioned chicken and waffles. There are lots of sweet treats like doughnuts, whoopie pies and shakes that I look forward to trying the next time I stop in. Regarding the food, the biscuit sandwich was pretty boring and not up to the caliber of the waffle. Prices are fair and they even had an all you can eat pancake special going on for $5. A waffle by itself will run you $4 and with the fried chicken it's $12. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked so I'd recommend that. If you're in Tempe and want a high quality breakfast without dealing with the Mill Ave parking, stop by here.

    Really wish I could rate this 5 stars. Cute concept but execution lacking. Service was excellent. Dined here the other night before a meeting. First strike is the very poor wine list. The server said the restaurant doesn't want to compete with the bar? Um what? I'm having dinner and would like a decent choice of wine. Only one white? A Chardonnay? YUCK. At least offer a Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc too. On to the food. Two of us ordered meatloaf and the other the special. The meatloaf was entirely to spicy and I like it hot. Not sure how a normal diner would eat this meal. The zucchini side was entirely forgettable. I would like to come back and try breakfast. I'm not sure I would come back for dinner. Honestly would probably rather eat at the bar with a full bar menu if the food is just meh.

    Finally was able to try The Normal this past Thursday, after friend Chef Jeff K. had suggested I try it when he told me that his restaurant would be closed the weekend after Christmas. He admitted he hadn't had a chance to go himself, but that he'd heard good buzz about it. I swung by after my massage ended, sometime around 2p, and I was the only person there, which was great, as that allowed me to ask server Evelyn about menu ingredients of a few items that interested me and to roam freely and take photos while I waited for the food to arrive. Everywhere I looked was a feast for the eyes! I saw a framed signage of the diner with a country background set against honeycomb-style wallpaper; gorgeous stained-glass Tiffany-esque ceiling lights twinkling above me; one hundred ninety-four eight-track tapes lined up on a wall, and then I noticed that at the end of this wall, outside the diner, there's a stonewall cap; graffitied lithographs, or perhaps originals, and a mural on two other walls; concave tiles aligning the halls leading to the restrooms AND part of the restaurant ceiling; columns made of gold glass tiles; color-block booth seating and dark green velvet chairs with wood tables; a long glass-topped table for communal seating, or perhaps a large party reservation; and beautiful parquet flooring. My brain was inundated by all these stimuli-- I was having so much fun, and I hadn't even tried the food yet! After Evelyn had retrieved all the answers from the kitchen I needed, I was able to narrow my choices for my first visit to Chicken n Waffles to start, and the Sundae Funday and a Haitian single-origin coffee to cap. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… The waffles are probably one of the better-tasting red velvet waffles I've tried (maybe the second-best), but the textures on the inside left me confused in the beginning (semi-crunchy exterior and gummy interior) until I decided that I wasn't enjoying them. The chicken, on the other hand, was very good-- great breading/batter (no corn products!), and had a spicy pepper seasoning flavor. I asked if it was Tabasco I tasted, but was told it was an overnight marinade made with Frank's Red Hot sauce. This dish is worth ordering alone just for the chicken! There is the option to sub malted waffles for the red velvet. After discussing the waffle textures with Evelyn and hearing that others had voiced the same concerns and Evelyn saying that the batter did yield differing textures compared to malt waffles, after further bites, it dawned on me that maybe the red waffles were undercooked, so I took a photo. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… I had no intention of complaining about the waffles and only showed the photo to Manager Maria during conversation when she came around, but she graciously offered to have the kitchen cook another serving for me to take home AND had this item omitted from my bill! What amazing response, and totally unexpected! After finishing one of the three pieces of chicken, I pushed the plate aside and had Evelyn put in the order for the Sundae Funday. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… Made with Grateful Spoon's Salted Caramel ice cream, caramel sauce and brownie bites made in-house, strawberry boba (ooh, these were fun!), and topped with a streusel (honeycomb, or caramel?), this dessert definitely lived up to its name! Sweet and salty, with creamy ice cream and caramel sauce against dense brownies bites filled with chocolate chunks (these bites could've been chopped into smaller pieces), and then to discover that these boba balls are not the traditional kind you find in Asian milk teas and desserts. No, no. These boba balls POP and release strawberry liquid! yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… Oh, my! With all these different textures and flavors intermingling in my mouth, this sweet treat really made for a fun-tastical experience! With such great ambience, a very promising menu, and personable staff working there (I also met Chef Brian, who knows Chef Jeff K), I will be returning to try other items on the menu. In fact, I'm meeting a cousin and her boyfriend there today! p.s. Tapacubo, a restaurant next door serving Mexican/Latin-influenced foods, such as arepas, tacos, burritos, and other goodies, just opened the same day as my visit. I asked Chef Brian if I, with corn and other food allergies, would be able to find something on the menu to enjoy, he said definitely. I think it's terrific that more and more chefs and their staffs are willing to cater to ever-increasing populations of people who have allergies, and that is why I am very happy to support restaurants, such as The Normal (and soon Tapacubo), that do.

    Part of what once used to be a house of pancakes in a hotel, off of ASU, this eating establishment has been turned into a hipper, cooler environment that is an homage to the culture of the 70s with a retro look which includes a display of 8 track tapes on the back of the eating area and framed photos of people dressed in 70s clothing. Fo those born int he 90s, which I assume is much of the current student population at ASU,this probably feels like a trip back to an earlier era. I took my parents (who lived through the 70s, and I did as well, but as a child) as it was interesting to have an actual diner in our area. I tried the old fashioned on the menu, a bit watery but it was $6 - I would probably adjust this a bit but for a late night pancake session at the diner, probably not a bad drink and it did come with three alcohol soaked cherries. After the cocktail their is a nice selection of local beers. As for the food, while most of it didn't wow me the grilled inked sausages were amazing and I believe they are made by a local provider. We didn't try the pancakes though and the waitress said those are especially good. What they do well with though, is the baking - I had the chocolate chip cookies with sea salt and they were amazing - comes with a glass of milk that you can also get warm (quite homey). They also bake their own pies and they change so look forward to coming back for a slice. However, they don't post the pie type on Facebook - might be a good idea to do that and have a twitter account as their pie could be their trademark as not many places I know, make their own pie, at least in this area. As for the service, as others have mentioned, a bit more laid back than it should be. The wait staff may want to be a bit more on top of cleaning dirty dishes off the table and checking on empty glasses. I think that is a training issue more than anything else. i also like that they have a daily special - so that provides something new to the mix. Final thought - have a weekly newsletter of upcoming specials and pies - it would not cost much and helps to develop a following and of course, work on the cocktails - raise the bar (pun intended) on them a bit and I think this place will be headed in the right direction.

    My husband and I ate here before watching a show at the Gammage. We arrived about 2 hours early to get a good parking spot and then walked over to The Diner! The Bloody Mary was to die for!!! It was garnished with salami, cheese, peppers and A SLIDDER!! Not too strong and not too spicy. Absolutely perfect. It's called THE REDEEMER!! The food was very good in portion size and so very fresh! Or server, Madi, was so friendly and efficient!! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're a parent, student, or theater enthusiast... Stop in at The Diner, You'll be very impressed!!

    Loved our experience at this place. The location, ambiance and decor are spot on. The only negative was the weird smell in the restaurant and bathroom. The service was very good. Strange that there were very few other diners in the time we were there. Had dinner and tried - Cereal Killer Milkshakes: Kids loved them Infused Old Fashioned: Amazing, loved the chunks of cherry Bloody Mary: Delicious, fun with the cheeseburger and cheese curds and roasted red pepper Turkey/Avocado Club: what you would expect Breakfast Hamburger Sandwich: Fabulous Short Rib Hash & Eggs: Pretty Good Very much look forward to coming back.
