When I am looking for somewhere normal to eat, I eat at Joey's.
The service, the drinks, the food, the location at Eau Claire; good, good, good, good all around.
Joey's is a straight-forward, no-frills place that offers a menu that mixes the familiar with the just north of different.
If you're looking for a place to have a normal meal; maybe your friend is visiting from that small town you're from; go to Joey's, have a cheddar burger with a side of edamame or the viva salad with garlic pan bread, it's pretty darn good.
