Don't judge the place by its exterior. Walked in and is a very relaxed, roomy restaurant with table like many of us eat at in yesteryear at home. Country table I think they call it. Big black board on wall with specials. Very detailed menu also. Cell service is not existent inside but I did see and use the guest WiFi. Several ladies serving or taking orders so service was great. Menu is pretty extensive but I finally settled on the Reuben and went with the soup as a side. The Reuben was delicious. Not overloaded like some try to do it but also not lacking. Delicious!. Now I know soup when it is 80 outside but she sold it well. She also did not oversell it as it was as good as she said. Loaded potato with bacon and cheese and broccoli. Wow. Cleaned it all up and washed it down with some truly awesome sweet tea.

I ordered the Ribeye steak, side salad, collards and dirty rice. The two drier sides came in separate containers but the collars came on the plate with the steak. The steak was cooked past my request and was sitting in a bath of collard juices. My biggest turn off were the flies. I do not enjoy swatting flies while trying to enjoy dinner. May try again in the winter or if they get the fly situation under control.

We got hungry after running errands so went out for dinner this Thursday around 6pm, parked on the street (free parking), and seated immediately by a friendly hostess. We chose to eat indoors since it was hot out (90's) so we sat at table 1 for the high top seats to accommodate my husband's height. There were around 5 other tables occupied and the rest of the dining area was empty. Our server was Boo and she had a delightfully bubbly personality, letting us know the specials and local origins of the food. We ordered Coke no ice, ginger ale no ice, cajun fries no bacon, well-done Swamp Burger, buffalo chicken bites, and a mahi mahi fish basket. My husband decided to use their restroom, which interestingly enough, are located outside around the corner of the building. I'm guessing this was done so the chefs in the cooking area (in the food truck) could use them easily. Our drinks arrived in minutes and appetizer (cajun fries) arrived around 10 minutes later. The rest of the food was brought out about 10 more minutes after that. The entire order was correct and made very well. Cajun fries were crispy with gooey cheese sauce and cajun spices. Fish basket was tasty and not fishy at all (yay!). My husband said his burger was good and not oily. All in all, cost was about $95 with a generous tip. We would come back for another date here, hopefully with Boo as our server again :)

Located just past the 207 exit off 95 it's a pretty little drive, and it looks like we are getting a great new restaurant at the golf course (FINALLY!). My husband and I went yesterday evening for an early dinner and were blown away by the food. We started with the homemade fish dip and chips, the dip was creamy and awesome and I cannot get enough of the fresh made chips. I had the roast beef and provolone sandwich and it was the best I've had in Jacksonville or St Augustine. I'm actually taking my son over for lunch on Tuesday so he can try it.

They have a beautiful bar and upstairs seating that overlook the restaurant. The menus are themed as if your reading an old news paper! They leave zero details out. The drinks I had from here were the perfect mix of strong but kept to their profile of flavor that you expected in the description on the menu which I absolutely appreciated. I ordered two side dishes to enjoy as I had a bigger breakfast (I regret now because this is one of those places I wish I could've had the whole menu) I ended up with their Mac & cheese and their deviled eggs. Their Mac & cheese was absolutely delicious. The cheeses they used complemented themselves together beautifully. The crispy outside and the cheesy inside. I genuinely loved every moment of every single bite. The deviled eggs are a new experience I have never had before. They really add their own twist to them with blue cheese and I normally don't fancy a blue cheese but they absolutely knew what they were doing because it complemented the yolk so well. It was such a unique flavor I've never gotten to experience with deviled eggs. And I will never forget it! With everything said in done. I will mention or waitress forgot about us and never brought the sauce I asked for or checked in on us. But again this place carried so heavily with the food that they could have thrown the food at me and told me to get lost and I probably would've left with a smile on my face.

Norma D's is truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Located in the charming small town, it has become a staple for both locals and travelers alike. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile and a cozy atmosphere that feels like home. The décor is simple and quaint, with vintage signs and memorabilia adorning the walls. The menu is a delightful mix of classic diner favorites and comfort foods, all made from scratch with the freshest ingredients. I can highly recommend their famous chicken tenders with a side of fries and a side of mashed potatoes with gravy. The portions are generous and the prices are more than fair, making it an excellent value for the quality of food. But it's not just the food that sets Norma D's apart, it's the excellent service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always eager to please. They go out of their way to make sure you have a memorable experience and leave satisfied. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or lunch, you're guaranteed to leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. In conclusion, Norma D's is a must-visit destination for anyone in the area. The combination of delicious food, warm atmosphere, and friendly service make it the perfect place for a casual family meal or a quick bite on the go. I highly recommend giving Norma D's a try and experiencing the magic for yourself. Five stars all around! read more

Our server was attentive at the start--she took drink orders as each portion of our group arrived and kept things moving smoothly. As we got closer to closing time (2:00 PM), service shifted a bit. About 15 minutes before closing, as we were wrapping up, our server stopped checking in. This was our first visit, though friends in our group had been once before and described it as "just okay," which felt accurate to us as well. We always like supporting local spots, and this was an easy meeting location, so we were hopeful. It's also worth noting they currently hold a strong 4.5 rating, and it seems like many locals really enjoy this place. That said, the biggest drawback for us was the portion size compared to the pricing. One person in our group ordered a Reuben, and the meat didn't even cover the bottom slice of bread--with not enough to redistribute. The fries portion was very small (more like a kids' serving), and the plate was around $13. That seemed to be the general theme--nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out, and portions felt light across the board. Atmosphere-wise, it's what you'd expect from a diner--casual, relaxed, and easygoing. We'd consider going back for convenience, but it's not a place we'd go out of our way for. With a few adjustments--especially around portion sizes--this could easily match the reputation it already seems to have with locals.
