Staff is also very attentive and friendly anytime we visit. I was craving something hearty so compromised on a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as the goat cheese and spinach salad. The meal was great, paired with fresh squeezed orange juice, but just wish the chicken fried steak had a little more flavor. The salad was great and everything else I've tried from here has been amazing, especially from the breakfast menu. While waiting, they also bring cornbread and biscuits to help hold you over until the main course. P.S. lots of parking behind the building.

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

Thought I would try the Chicken Livers today. I haven't had them since I was a teenager... and…read moreno... not doing the math on that one! Walked in, joined the line and placed my order. Noticed ladies working in the dining room to assure tables are clean as soon as customers leave. Once your meal is ready, they will call your name or someone will bring it to your table. Retro decor. Loved the music. Located across from SMU. You have the college crowd, residents from the neighborhood, grandparents with their grandchildren, and drive thru all buzzing with conversation. I found the chicken livers lightly battered, crispy on the outside and very tender meat on the inside. Mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans were my sides. All tasty. Add additional seasonings and pepper sauce if you prefer. Be sure to check out the banana pudding. I requested extra meringue. Dessert was made fresh and tasted great. Pick-up, drive through, or dine in. Side note: Although there is no place for a tip when paying for your order... I always leave a tip on the table or hand it to the ladies working there. Much deserved for their hard work, friendly smiles, and pleasant attitude.

My friend had the four-vegetable choice and she said they were good - as she slathered butter onto the homemade cornbread and rolls. DH and his friend had chicken-fried chicken and chicken-fried steak and my husband said it was one of the best chicken-fried steaks he'd had in a long time. Service was great and attentive and we enjoyed the whole dinner. It's an older cafe (the first Norma's, I believe). We'll be back for the good homemade food. A couple behind us bought two whole pies and they looked great, but we were way too full to order any for ourselves.

This place does get packed at lunch but food comes out fast. For lunch, I recommend the Roast Beef in Brown Gravey, Fried Okra, Corn Bread, and another side of your choice. Delicious! For breakfast, I like to get the Sausage and Biscuits with Gravey, sometimes with eggs. The Biscuits are just basic and simple, but they are sure are good and flavorful and fresh n hot. Overall the prices are good for the portions you get and you get alot of food. This is dinner food, so expect dinner quality. It is not the greatest, but it beats most other breakfast places. Personally, I like the food and will continue to eat here every week.

The back of their shirts say," we serve our coffee as strong as our attitude" and i believe it. Food, service and ambience were spot on. So if you're a WH fan, you'll love this place. Later.

The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but it still took about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. We ordered coffee, a Western Omelette with cheese, a Spanish Omelette, and pancakes with orange juice for the kids. The coffee was excellent, the omelettes were decent, and the kids' pancakes were delicious. The biscuits and toast on the side were also really good. Unfortunately, the hash browns, sausage, and bacon were disappointing. If you enjoy a 1950s-style diner vibe with friendly, welcoming staff, this place nails the atmosphere.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive--they really go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of. The food is the real star here. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The portions are HUGE, so you definitely get your money's worth. Their chicken fried steak is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy is rich and delicious. Don't even get me started on the pies--they're out of this world! Service was fast, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the whole experience just felt genuine and comforting.
