The Chicken Fried Steak was quite tasty, my only knock on it was it was very thin and ratio of bread/meat was way off. The hash browns were tasty and very crispy. The pancakes were good and a pretty big portion. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Overall if you’re looking for a quick breakfast Norma’s Cafe is a good place to start as their food is well rounded good.

I just experienced the best customer services I’ve encountered in a long time. Our waitress Cree was attentive, professional, kind, and caring. I came in with my Husband and was having a rough day due to grieving. I hadn’t smiled all day until I interacted with her. Kindness goes a long way and I bet she doesn’t even know how she blessed me today. Give that woman a raise!

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.

Went to Norma’s for some real Southern food and found just that. The server was so great and lively. She really took care of us six. The location was easy to find. Parking availability was good. And wait time was decent. The prices were reasonable. Food and drinks were just as expected.

I came in for dinner with my wife on Sunday afternoon and it was absolutely booming, with even a bit of a wait. But it was worth it. We were seated by a very nice young man named Ethan, who took care of us the entire time and helped me decide what to eat, as I’ve only ever been there in the morning for breakfast. I ended up getting the chicken fried steak, but when it came out, it was undercooked—borderline raw.All the other sides I got looked and tasted very good, but the undercooked steak left a bad taste in my mouth. The server apologized and made it right by having the steak remade and even offered a slice of cherry pie to help make up for it.Overall, the experience was pretty good with the great pie and great service. Other than the undercooked steak at first, Norma’s made it right, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon in hopes of having a better experience all around.

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.
