Best Breakfast Restaurants in Normal Heights

Our brunch experience was very enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed what was ordered including the Shashuka, the Brioche French toast with berries, to which I added eggs, bacon and their crispy potatoes, and lastly the Basic Breakfast! We really liked being able to bring our dog and sitting on the patio.

Atmosphere was really nice, the workers were all amazing and very attentive. Price is a little bit on the pricey side, but for the amount that you are getting, it is not bad at all. We love this place and will continue to come here!!

Smokin' J's BBQ is a gem unbeknownst to us. My wife and I were attending an event at the Balboa Theater and were looking to make a reservation close to the venue. Smokin' J's is literally across the street...it couldn't be more convenient. Everything was excellent, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious with very ample portions. Even though we live in Encinitas, we will go back downtown to dine at Smokin' J's again. To us, it was a hidden gem.

We had an early dinner here with family and friends. We wanted a comfortable place where we could chat, laugh, and eat leisurely, and Mimi’s fit the bill. The food was delicious, and we liked the variety of options. Everyone treated us so well. We mentioned that our mother was turning 101, and they made our dinner very special with birthday candles and a bakery gift from our server. A very memorable afternoon!

Reservations or walk in, even to-go, either way the food is delicious. Angie was excellent. She didn't hover around us yet she showed up when she needed! Great food and we were serviced with a smile!
