Restaurants in Normal

“The pizza here is great. Unique, thick, but also crunchy with lots of specialty pizzas. The tequila selection is off the chain. Whoever is in charge of the tequila knows about traditional quality tequila without additives. Go here and have a great time!!”

“Food is 10/10 and service was great!”

“Walked in after wife won State Tennis Championship looking for large table - found one immediately. Ordered from QR code … quick and easy. Fish and chips - brilliant. Beer - great! Cheap and quick!! Great experience!!”

“Desthil is one of the few places my friend with food sensitiveies can eat. Last minute she was in town and we decided to grab early dinner at Desthil. I didnt realize it was high-school homecoming and ISU family weekend. Christopher got us right in despite the rush. Service was wonderful. Thank you Desthil!!

“Meal, service, and atmosphere are all great!”

“Absolutely a wonderful find !! We just loved the place, bartender was the best”

“Love love love this place! My wife and I were finally able to have a date night together! The owner is amazing and Conner and Olivia were phenomenal staff members! #FiveStars”

“First time being there, it was excellent.”

“Always a great time! The meal was delicious!! Love a great salad bar!! Steak cooked to perfection!! Great company! The Long Island ice teas were delicious! I’ve never had a bad meal and we’ve been going there for over 35 years!!”

“My first shopping visit to Sams was mostly great. I found a lot of great products and will definitely be back. My only issue is some of the people giving out samples were rude, other than that it’s been a great experience.”

“I absolutely love this Bdubs! Everytime I have been there has been positive! The staff are very nice, attentive and efficient. The management is top notch. Always clean and overall wonderful place to eat and spend time at! Thank you all for all of your hard work and wonderful staff!”

“Great for a quick bite to eat and smoothies!”

“Had a great Father’s Day breakfast at the bar! Great drinks, food & staff. 👍🏻”

“I live strawberries. I got the strawberries pretzel pie cookie. Totally awesome - reminded me of the dessert I had as a child with the strawberry jello! Thank you for the memory!”

“Have been there a couple times. Amazing taste and friendly staff. Would recommend it to everyone to try.”

“Went to Baba with some friends for dinner tonight. Got the #3 family combo! Absolutely fantastic! Great fries, great breading on the chicken/catfish, and great customer service. Will definitely be coming back”

“Four stars at best. We eat breakfast out daily and gravitate to owners who mingle and serve coffee rather than sit in the corner and play boss. The restaurant is clean and generically decorated. If the wait staff were smaller, bussed their own tables, and got rid of the cumbersome walkie talkies, efficiency would drastically improve allowing menu price relief and increased staff wages. The $3.75 price/ cup of coffee (over $4 with tip) instantly signals an over priced menu and the most expensive cup of coffee in town.”

“I was super impressed by their level of customer service! The manager was incredibly friendly and extremely hospitable!”

“delicious chicken. i like to stop at the drive through when I'm in Bloomington. still fresh and hot when I get home.”

“Zach (bartender on lower level) is 10/10 out of 10 minus NOTHING! (Yes, I meant what I said) He was 100% the most considerate, attentive, and responsive bartender I’ve encountered in a long time. I absolutely love this establishment and his service set the bar even higher. Thank you! 🫶🏼”

“I was hungry for a good breakfast and we have never tried The Original Pancake House. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and Xtra Crisp hash browns, the wife ordered 2 crepes a strawberry and a cherry. Our waitress was very nice and professional. It didn't take very long to get, unfortunately that's probably why the hash browns were not crispy. The thick cut bacon and eggs were cooked well. The crepes looked good but I didn't try them I was pretty much full when I finished my glass of milk, I always love to top off my breakfast with a glass of milk. Kinda like a chaser.
The sun room was nice but very loud my wife had to remove her hearing aid after being there a few minutes. The whole place looked clean and new.
I was able to pay at the table by scanning the ticket. Which is somewhat okay, but in today's age is this going to start a skip without paying”

“Best bar to ever exist…Come back soon”

“The owner was amazing! Last minute order filled quickly and the added excitement of creating a last minute design to complete a baby shower!”

“10/10 would come again! :)”

“As a college student, having access to a great sushi spot that has an abundance of healthy menu options and affordable prices makes me so happy. The portion sizes are perfect, I'm always left so full and satisfied. I've been out of town the past few weeks and soon as I get back to BloNo, I'm headed straight to SP to get my 3 Philly rolls!”

“LOVE their rotation of flavors and these new (ish) refreshers. The lavender one is AMAZING, i get it every time i come in. Definitely my favorite ice cream in town ♥️”

“Great food and drinks! Great service, our go to for Mexican food!”

“The Pizza was ready when I ordered it. It tasted very good. The toppings were evenly distributed. All 5 of the employees said hi to me when I walked in and were very friendly”

“Went there today for lunch had very good service and bacon double cheeseburger was delicious. Definitely will go back.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Heaters for the first time, and it was an experience well worth the anticipation. After wanting to try it for so long, I finally seized the opportunity and was not disappointed. I ordered the three-piece tender meal, complete with fries and a breadstick, and every element of the meal was delightful.

The fries were golden and crisp, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The BBQ on the chicken tenders was exceptional—rich, smoky, and flavorful, elevating each bite to a new level. And the breadstick? It was a highlight, soft and buttery, melting in my mouth with each bite.

The service was equally impressive. Karen, who took care of me, was attentive and genuinely accommodating. She ensured I had exactly the right amount of dipping sauce, making the experience that much more enjoyable. It was truly a top-notch meal from start to finish.”

“Love their chi tea-hot or iced!”

“Ribeye steak and eggs and all food was amazing I love that place”

“We love BloNo! My boys ask to go on a regular basis. It’s worth the hour drive up for us.”

“The food here never disappoints! Everything is delicious! And where else can you get a pupusa in BloNo?”

“I had wanted to try this place for a while and now that they are open for dine in I am so glad I did! The lady who waited on us was very sweet and the sichuan dish I had was so very flavorful. Best Chinese food I have had in town for a long time! I had spicy chicken in flaming pan.”

“Generous portions—excellent fajitas and frozen margaritas. Outdoor dining is very pleasant but indoor atmosphere is equally good. Highly recommend!”

“absolutely delish! was excited to finally come back! its the only place we ate while visiting town. yum yum yum!”

“Maybe don't threaten people when they ask the person passing out the restaurant flyers out front a question about the menu.”

“love dp dough, a lot of food for your money and there's something for everyone. the vegan stuff is pretty good too

Vegetarian options: lots of calzones without any meat and even some made with fake meat products, you can also substitute any meat for fake meat.”

“Food and drink were delicious. Excellent selection for kids.”

“Art friendly! And a great place to meet friends for a cup a.”

“I came in for the first time and got a Blackberry Biancha. I actually changed from a caramel mocha and they were soo chill about it! So nice! They told me about the app and helped set it up and give me points.”

“I prefer this location as it is closer to my home. The staff are always on point. Very friendly, fast and efficient considering it's in the heart of ISU. Parking is a challenge so I need to time my visits to avoid the lunch hour rush. Other than that, it's a great place!!”

“Best pizza ever! I used to eat there in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s in East Peoria. Now I have them shipped to me in Texas. Still good as ever!”

“Best pizza and cheesey flat stix in town, service is phenomenal! Great atmosphere good for the family or a just a night out for fun! Trivia on Thursday is a blast!! Definitely a top notch pizza joint with great drinks! Alexis and Kai do a great job everytime. It is much appreciated!!”

“Was out of lettuce wraps when we came. I did a bowl instead. It ended up being good. Service was super slow even for allergy. But didn’t get sick and food was good so worth the wait.

Dietary restrictions: Very good without free. Will take precautions for allergies/celiac. Fries are safe! Get them Cajun!”

“Tony’s Tacos is a treasure! How did I not know about this place? They have quite a few vegan items on the menu-tacos, nachos, burritos, sopes, huaraches. They have vegan cheese and vegan sour cream, for those who like it.”

“Called and got the exact help I needed from Lanasia! She was very thorough with her explanations of care and questions. She got me set up with a Care Assistant quickly and explained the services they provide. Definitely going with Synergy for Long Term Care and services because of her!”

“4/5 -- Great service. Food was high quality despite my med-rare steak being delivered well done. The manager took care of it promptly and with no bother at all. Seasonal menu features were well-executed. Better than average for a hotel restaurant, especially on campus.”

“Great stay here coming into town for a little work get together with my boyfriend! Loved the decor inside and how they have everything set up. Very lovely atmosphere. Greeted at the front desk promptly by Adrianna, who was super sweet and friendly. She helped to check us in, and even humored our request to upgrade our two Queen beds to a single King, as well as a room with a balcony! Which was absolutely amazing! Made our stay 10x better. Event went great, we were back at the hotel for a wonderful stay, and in the morning we had an even better experience! We woke up early to indulge in the variety of breakfast and drink choices, and the welcoming company of Barb, Margo and Sandra! These ladies are all wonderful at what they do. Barb went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed and connected with us on a meaningful level that left us feeling incredibly blessed! We are so glad to have met her and had a beautiful stay. The chef(s) and wait staff did excellent! The only minor inconveniences we had were that the lids were not properly fitting the coffee cups, and for the life of us we could not find the invisible vending machine, so I guess it’s doing its job. :P Thank you! Can’t wait to come back for a little out of town stay sometime!”

“Delicious fish sandwich. Great service. Very friendly.”

“A great selection of traditional Chinese and American buffet items. Unlike many buffets, this one works hard to have choices for everyone including a wonderful selection of sañads and fruits and desserts! Highly recommended”

“awesome service. pizza was very good. not serving alcohol right now so had to have a soda instead of beer with my pizza but that was okay. would go again if in the normal, IL area.”

“First time ordering from here and I ordered a wrap and I was so excited to try it but I was let down ? my wrap was loosely wrapped with fillings coming out and I thought it would come but in half but that didn't happen either ? but I did order thru the mobile app and I caught a deal so that was a plus. Maybe I should've specified that I wanted it cut but it was very loose and a lot of my fillings spilled out. Other than that tasty ?”

“The food here is usually really good. It's a nice burger joint on campus located in the Student Bone Center. One thing I noticed is that some of the staff is usually unfriendly, but not all of the time. The food does take a really long time to come out though.”

“Great service! Jeremy was very attentive and friendly!!! Our food was delicious and perfectly prepared, with awesome presentation!!! We'll be back for sure!!”

“FQG Friendly, Quick & Good?

Parking: Parking always available, plus best thing on the menu is the Happy Family,3 different meats n rice with delicious sauce and seasoning ?”

“Burritos as big as your head:)”

“Just as great as I remember. The food was hot, fresh & delicious. I enjoy the new setup where you order at the counter. Establishment was clean. Service friendly & efficient. Highly recommend!”

“The ice cream was delicious! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating during the summer as well. The staff are always patient as we choose what kind of ice cream to get. You get a lot for your money here. And they even have a couple arcade games in the corner. It's a pretty neat.

Parking: There are a handful of parking spots in front of and around the building but an entire parking area right beside the place.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bit hard for kids to see the ice cream unless you pick them up... which is typical for an ice cream place. There's a couple arcade games in the corner for older kids. And they had napkin dispensers on the tables which is handy when you are eating ice cream!”

“The quality of this food is top tier. The chicken fajita tacos on naan bread is my favorite meal.”

“Great food and great guys”

“Omgggg I love this Starbucks! The customer service is always great and my drinks are consistently made well and with love. Shoutout my fav barista Flower! Her smile is so welcoming and I know I’m going to have a good coffee day when she is there.”

“I recently visited Dairy Queen, and I was blown away by the excellent service! The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. Despite being busy, they worked like a well-oiled machine, taking and preparing orders.
I barely had to wait before my food was ready, and everything was prepared perfectly. It’s clear the team knows how to keep things running smoothly, all while maintaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for fast service without sacrificing friendliness, Dairy Queen is the place to go!”

“Really enjoy Blaze, you make your own pizza and the food always turns out great with great customer service, it can be a little pricey though. Personally, when I go Blaze is never busy.”
