    We always enjoyed Normas but have been for a few years since moving away. The food is as good as always. We enjoy the breakfast menu but everything is really great!!! The service is awesome. The waitresses have all been here for years and have the old school waitress work ethics. My coffee cup and water never ran dry. They checked on us multiple times but never "hovered" over our table.

    Michelle was awesome. Great customer service. The food was great. We really enjoyed our time. Everything came out pretty quickly, and I really suggest the coconut cream pie.

    Nice diner around Dallas and the design brings back a traditional feel. I wouldn't say this was the best food I've tasted. The service was good and fast but nothing exceptional about this place.

    My wife stopped in yesterday for an early lunch, and we were not disappointed. It's been a couple of years since my last visit but the service and food was still great. I had meatloaf and my wife had chicken fried chicken.

    Absolutely amazing! Our server, Ronda was so caring and helpful, we had more than enough to eat, I ended up with the CBGB and ended up taking half of it home. I would come here again, the style is very retro and the prices are very good.

    Tonight I got the chicken fried steak meal with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. The chicken fried steak was very tough. I could hardly eat it. The mashed potatoes didn't taste good at all. The glaze carrots were OK. The cornbread had a weird flavor that I had to throw out. I don't know what happened to the Food but I'm sorry but Boston market has better chicken fried steak than what this place has.. I was hoping for a better meal considering I paid $20 for this and got crap that did not taste good and was edible. I doubt I will ever be back..

    Food and retro atmosphere is always great service is always amazing. for two it cost about $40 and that was two dinners and a piece of pie.

    Chicken w/stuffing and gravy. Green beans, broccoli and greens.

    The food was great. Just what I was looking for, a home cooked southern meal. Manager on duty that day was extremely sweet and welcoming. The chicken and stuffing w/the gravy was delicious! 10 out of 10. The portions were plenty. Made 2 meals out of it. Will definido back next time I'm in the area.

    With everyone is watching carbs, touting the newest dietary buzzwords of the day, it's nice to know…read morethere's a place that we all remember growing with and doesn't apologize for it. 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.

    I consider myself a regular. I have always received great service here. Like any restaurant some…read moredishes are better than others. You just got to find your favorite. 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.

    Pretty darn good! Showed up a little after 11am for a late breakfast. I got the Mana's favorite…read morebreakfast which is 2 eggs, hash browns or grits ( I got hash browns ), biscuit and gravy, and bacon or sausage (I got bacon). Oh and a coffee. Eggs came as I ordered them, it came with 3 pieces of bacon and the bacon was cooked exactly as I like it (chewy!!). The gravy didn't even need much pepper! Got seated immediately and after ordering the food came incredibly fast service. It's a typical diner on the inside, if you've been to a diner you'll know what to expect.
