The Normal is an absolute gem, offering an all-around wonderful experience. The menu is limited, but every dish is made with attention and care. Friendly and welcoming staff serve interesting and delicious cocktails, including creative options like the X-ray vision. Standout dishes include smoked chicken wings, brisket sandwiches, and ribs with brisket. The owners create a family-like atmosphere, making visitors feel at home, and the chef, Adam, is known for his kindness. Guests often praise the outstanding food, especially the wings, which are considered some of the best ever eaten, and the beef tallow steak fries that are crisp and well-seasoned. The atmosphere blends old school and modern styles, and the service is attentive and friendly. Visitors recommend taking scenic back roads route 65 to get there, and many plan to return for the delicious food and welcoming environment.
