This diner was amazing. The food was fabulous. The biscuits were the best I have had in a long time. If you enjoy a good old fashion breakfast this is the place for you. The decor was fun and funky. Next time I am in town I will definitely go back.
I placed an online order and my food was ready before the time given. The staff at the front was so courteous and friendly. When I got my food home it was hot and delicious. I ordered the meatloaf meal and a side of black eyed peas. It hit the spot. I was too hungry to take a picture. Next time I go I promise I’ll take a picture.
First time at Norma’s and I wish we came here earlier! Usually we eat at the ramen place next door and its also great but we were thinking breakfast today and it was such a treat. Our waitress was amazing! She suggested a cinnamon roll and it was as big as my head! Coffee was great, eggs were fantastic! I nearly didn’t finish my food it was soo much! Freindly, cozy, food sticks to your ribs, I mean I didn’t eat anything else today.
Great diner hidden in the shopping center. Very fun atmosphere, with an old time feel. Our waitress Khrista was so nice and took care of us. Our f food came out nice and hot. And the meatloaf was amazing. And if you are a veteran they give you a nice discount.
This is my new go-to place for an amazing breakfast. The country fried chicken, served with two perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs and crispy bacon, was delicious. Don’t miss the biscuit and gravy! The kids loved the hamburger and corn dogs with the tasty fries, and the portions are huge—easily enough to share. Great service and a friendly atmosphere make this a fantastic choice for the whole family.
