    Meat Loaf, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes w/ cream gravy, Mac n Cheese
    Sean C.

    Decided to get some diner food for lunch. Even though it's a regular building on the outside, it does give that old school diner feel on the inside which was nice. The server was quick to greet and take my order, but once I got my food was hard to track down to get the check. I got the meatloaf blue plate special with Mac and cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The meatloaf was good; it was t too dry or bland like some. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce since I usually just like a more tomatoey ketchup sauce, yet this one seemed to have a southwest flare that changed the whole flavor profile of the meatloaf. All of the sides were good. The green beans had some bacon in them which gave them that nice extra flavor. Mashed potatoes were creamy and the gravy added a nice flavor. Sometimes at a diner all the food can be bland, but that was not the case here. It is still diner food though so nothing extravagant or fancy. The price was good too so when I'm in the mood for diner food again will be back to try more.

    Pot Roast with buttered corn and pinto beans on the side.

    Went with Family after Sunday Mass. I ordered Pot Roast with pinto beans and buttered corn as sides. Also, their fluffy pancakes. Their delicious. This is the second time we visited this place since we tried their Veggie omelette and Western omelette during the first time we were here. This place is busy during Sunday lunch. Serving Staff are very friendly and helpful. Nicely decorated and well lighted place where you can have breakfast, Lunch and dinner. They close at 8 pm. Lots of parking space inside this huge Gaylord Stone Briar Mall.

    Fried Pickles

    Two visits over about ten days, and Norma's doesn't disappoint. Although their meatloaf could have been better, the fried mushrooms and fried pickles are the best in the area - to the extent I ordered them both times! The service is exceptional and quick. By the way, that biscuit monstrosity is outrageous.

    This cafe has branched out from the original I've been eating at for decades. Fortunately the food is almost as good at all locations. Traditional blue plate cafe grub done right. Complementary rolls and cornbread is a nice touch to get you going. You choose. Chicken fried steak,meat loaf or one of the other usual suspects. Add three sides and your in business. Tonight I had the catfish...very good. Go!

    Dec 2025 meals yummy lots of leftovers.

    About we got back. Its been far too long. Lots of competition in Collin county for our dining out budget. Posted photos of two yummy plates we got and saved for leftovers.

    Fried Mushrooms

    We didn't feel like cooking but we also didn't feel like getting all dressed up for a sit down restaurant and we also did not feel like going to eat a burger at McDonalds or something-- so-- the boyfriend and I ended up at a diner! We were really craving some 59 Diner type of place... (Y'all remember 59 Diner???) So we found Norma's Diner! Perfect??? A good old American classic-- and I would have thought so because of the old vintage decor and everything on the walls right? Wrong-- Norma's was missing the most quintessential diner items-- THE MILKSHAKE. We asked if they had all the separate ingredients, and they did, but then the server said that she could make a milkshake, she just didn't know what t he price would be. And it being Frisco, I didn't want to pay $15 for a milkshake....you never know these days..... The fried mushrooms were perfect. The bread for the table was cold and hard like hockey pucks. The chicken in the terazzini was dry, but the sauce and noodles are creamy delicious. The catfish was perfect. The sides were just ok. I feel the greens come from a can and the black eyed peas need bacon in it. The pies in the ase looked old especially the lemon merengue. I know we came in looking for a diner greasy spoon all American experience, but it didn't really hit. LOL??? 3 stars for the servers good attitude and the mushrooms and catfish. Otherwise it would be a 2 or below.

    Good values with all the food options. Flavor was ok, best pick was catfish from all we ordered. Some food didn't warm up all the way through. Server only got you seated and drink and never got back till you ready to pay.

    Yay! We are here!

    Great nostalgic 50's style diner! Norma's offers American classic dishes. Service was impeccably great! Our server broke down our options & I decided on the chicken fried steak (double dipped). The blue plates come with 3 sides & red plates have 2 sides. My wife & I tried the large slice of homemade apple pie! Yum!!! The cornbread & fresh hot rolls rock! I got some to go! Plenty of parking & nice sano restrooms. The dining area consists of both tables & chairs with nice comfy booths. Nice staff & fresh hot food! Bring an appetite & leave room for dessert! You'll be glad you did!

    Chicken salad
    Suzie Q.

    This place is home-style and Southern comfort goodness. The fried chicken salad is large and fresh. On the side - fried mushrooms. Highly recommend both! Don't miss out on the rolls - just like home!

    Normas meat loaf
    Van T.

    Our server Khrista was amazing. Our food came out really fast and man that meat loaf was good. The location is convenient if you are shopping in the Stonebriar area. Also they have a great veteran special too all year!!

    Onion ring and chicken

    Ok people I suggest that you save your money and go somewhere else. We were greeted with a beautiful smile and our waitress was very polite and friendly. Service is slow. Took them about 45 minutes for food . Order chicken sandwich that was over cooked to the point that it was just hard skin with bread. Onion rings were saturated with oil and no breading. Such a disappointment. Place was very nicely decorated with nostalgia. Sorry won't come again

    Apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream

    Only had the apple pie with ice cream. Never tasted salty apple until now! The crust was flaky and the apples looked fresh. The ice cream helped save the day.

    Dressing.

    I've been on the lookout for a good mango sticky rice dessert place. I actually have never been to…read morea Matcha Cafe Maiko location before but had it bookmarked on my Las Vegas list. Not sure when this location opened in Frisco, but I was pleasantly surprised we have our own DFW location. We actually planned our lunch at HaiDiLao so that we can stop in next door for this dessert. It's a cute little shop with two self ordering kiosks. They have some benches available as you wait for your order and also have several tables outside as well. We of course ordered the mango sticky rice sundae with mango soft serve. They do give you the option to choose your soft serve flavor. The sticky rice itself was coconutty with a hint of salt which went so well with the super sweet mangos and mango soft serve. It was delicious! The Maiko Special parfait also caught my eye. It was a treasure chest of red beans, mochi, chestnuts, cereal, and matcha soft serve. Definitely a fun dessert full of flavors and textures. Loved both desserts, can't wait to come back to try the hojicha drinks!

    I came to hopefully try their banana pudding matcha, but they didn't have it since their main focus…read moreright now was the mango sticky rice float. But then I looked at the menu, they didn't even have that? The only thing they had was mango ice cream (it was pretty good). The workers were pretty rude for the shop being just opened, and they didn't bother to elaborate on what items they had. I saw the owner's post asking customers to be patient with their workers since they're high school/college students, but their service was just bad.

They bring in breakfast items from local small businesses - I love that they support the local economy.

    There is nothing better than a great local roaster with a coffee shop attached, right? Well wrong!…read moreWhat about a local roaster with a coffee shop attached AND they offer tours? Even better right?? Well welcome to Parks Coffee! I've driven past this place so many times on PGBT that I googled them and saw they offered tours. So I immediately booked one and have to say it was well worth the cost. You get to see the behind the scenes and understand more about the process of making coffee. There is even a tour you can request in which you can roast your own bag (details on their website as it may change from when I post this). At the end of the tour you get to try a sampling of their single origin coffees that are paired with bite size pastries from a local bakery, La Casita, that were delicious! The pairings really brought out the notes in the coffee and even I felt like a coffee sommelier! Plus after the tour you get a discount at the coffee shop and it applies to their sweet shirts. Overall I highly recommend checking them out and taking the tour. Their coffees were great and the tour was enlightening.
