Managed to walk right in and get a table.... By the time we left, there was a huge line. Things moved quickly though with good food and friendly staff. Be advised - cash only! read more

Worst service and eggs ever. Order over easy came out over hard after waiting 40 mins and not even busy. Forgot to ask about toast, had to ask for it and that was over done, waitress forgot juice again had to ask. They recooked the eggs and again over hard. Said taking off bill but charged for coffee and juice that came with thee breakfast. $20 for coffee and juice. When paying responded to how everything was with horrible the woman at the register just said have a great day!!! Never again read more

What a nice little spot. We just happened upon it and decided to stop in for breakfast. The food was pretty good and the prices were extremely fair, $25 for my wife and I to have a nice breakfast. Everyone was friendly and we were sat right away. This place is cash only but does have an ATM. Would go back. read more

CASH only but not advertised! lady at front counter is rude about it.....but there is an atm to get cash from.....food was excellent and waitress was great! read more

I'll give it 4 stars based on the service but the food was just ok.... Nothing spectacular. However, I'd go back. The hostess and waitress were very nice. Big note; Cash Only!!9 In terms of the food it wasn't bad just kind of bland, especially the home fries. I had an cheese & Sausage omelette with a grilled bagel. The omelette was good but as I mentioned the home fries had no taste....I literally put salt & pepper on them and I never try to put salt on anything. I guess this is where ketchup might have helped but I hate.... And I mean, I hate ketchup. My grilled bagel was delicious! My wife had a egg white omelette and said it was just ok. Again, we would go back because of the service and how clean the restaurant seemed to be. read more

Our server was excellent. My wife has food allergies and she was very attentive in making sure that the kitchen was aware of her sensitivities and helped her make safe selections. She checked in several times to top off our coffees and to make sure that we were happy with food. It was a most enjoyable dining experience, that we take advantage of, anytime we are in the York, Kittery area. read more

Looking for a great breakfast after having poor hot breakfast at local hotel for 3 days . Normas nearby and very busy which I thought was a good sign . Once seated realized only 1 waitress for over 20 tables . The food arrived on appetizer sized plate , enough for a toddler . If you love hash as much as I do ,it is a big DONT order it , came out looking like smashed cat food . Let's not forget about the side of tiny bacon 3 slices for $5.40. Rediculous. My advice go elsewhere !! read more

Went to Norma's on a busy weekend morning and was served a delicious omelette quickly. Prices very reasonable, my mother in-law loved the home fries and overall presentation. Typically she is extremely hard to please and has high expectations and she said she will be back. Convenient location off the highway with ample parking. read more

I haven't been her for a while and went with a friend for breakfast recently. She had blueberry pancakes, I had a plain bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Both of us had coffee. Our waitress, Cybil, was amazing - very friendly and refilled our coffees without being asked. My friend loved her pancakes and my bagel was good - I had it toasted instead of grilled and it was perfect. The bacon was crisp and not overcooked. The coffee was delicious! I am going to have to try lunch there soon. Breakfast is definitely worth it. read more

Food is excellent and the service was quick. Because it's so popular, plan on a bit of a wait

You can never go wrong with eating here. Both breakfast and lunch are great. I love to go for lunch , they have the best club sandwiches. Staff is always attentive. Make sure to look at the old pictures of York on the walls. Lots of York history. Make sure you have cash with you. No credit cards accepted. Though the do have an atm on site. read more

We went here for breakfast. Not good. Food very much feels like it came out of a can or microwave. Not worth the stop. McDonald's would have been similar and cheaper. read more

We have eaten here several times both breakfast and lunch. Lunch is better in my opinion the chicken club ( Chicken Salad) is great always good the staff is also very friendly. Cash only but it's always been like that so it's not a problem for us. read more

Breakfast Fiasco. Called to see if we needed a reservation. 'No need, plenty of empty tables'. 3 of us, waited 45 minutes while every other table in our section was seated, cashed out, asked out waitress about the wait and was told it would be another 10 minutes. Very disappointed, no one took accountability. read more

Perfect! Small town feel with nice people who order "their usual." Food was great! I had the Cape Neddick and it was great. read more

Wayyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced!!! Our waitress was nice but $82 for 7 pancakes, a breakfast wrap and some juice and chocolate milk? Crazy! Wont be back. Maybe they knew we were from out of town but for what we got it shouldn't have been more than $35 maybe $40 and that's pushing it. read more

To start with, have cash, because no credit cards are accepted. We didn't feel too welcome upon arrival. I won't get into details, but the service was subpar by multiple people. The prices are really good. Some of the food was ok, but some was not so good. The bacon is maple flavored, which is not a universal favored flavor for all patrons. In all honesty, I would rather drive out of my way to have breakfast some place else, but my dining party enjoyed some of their food. read more

Norma's breakfast never disappoints. Always hot and good with very decent coffee. Friendly and competent staff.

One of my grandson's and I ate here recently. We were greeted and seated soon after we entered. We both wanted pancakes. I had coffee, he had chocolate milk. The pancakes came soon after ordering, he the chocolate chip, i the blueberry. We both enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I would go to Norma's again. read more

I'm not sure why this place gets good reviews. Ate breakfast here yesterday. The service left a lot to be desired because the waitress did not seem to like being there, my fried eggs were so over cooked that they were chewy, the home fries had zero seasoning, and my friend's omelette was the thinnest thing I've laid eyes on. We left hungry yet with food still on our plates. read more

Just ok. Will you get a gourmet breakfast here? Nope. You will get an average place, decent coffee, good service. CASH ONLY automatically loses one star. The portions are also painfully small. This place is for the older locals, after Sunday church. read more

Extremely average. Nothing in particular to recommend. Not expensive, not cheap. So so coffee.

The food was very good, especially the bagel sandwich and the food prices are so reasonable. The people there are kind and the service was great. I live in MA and almost a week later I realized i left my jacket there and it is very special to me. I called and they were going to hold it for me. Within 1 hr Norma herself called me and said she would put it in the mail for me and I wouldn't have to travel 2 1/2 hrs to get it. The kindness in her voice and heart was overwhelming. A beautiful person. I do recommend the place for good food, service, and good people. read more

So heading to Portland but needed some grub, Normas is on the way so we stop. First off bring CASH!!!!!!They dont take credit cards. Hmmmmm OK. Can we talk about the hashbrowns? Little frozen potatoes with no onions and peppers? All in all typical diner breakfast but with small portions. Check out the size of the OJ. Clean fast and friendly. In and out in 30 minutes. read more

We come at least once a week. Simple food very well prepared and presented. Great service. You and we can depend on th'em.

Great food and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was also quick and friendly. Just make sure to bring cash.

Breakfast at 6am on a Saturday. No wait and friendly service. Reasonable prices and the specials included tea or hot chocolate if you didn't want coffee. Good tasting food. read more

Norma's Restaurant - Talk Stack Blueberry Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - York, Maine

The food was okay, nothing special. It is a very mediocre diner that you could find anywhere. Two out of three seafood dishes were out. Our server was in charge of our one table and the counter, and although there were only four people at the counter, she still left us sitting and waiting to ask for corrections to the mistakes she made. The very few times she did come check on us, we could hardly ask for anything before she went zooming off again. At one point we had to go up and ask about our order because we had seen multiple tables who came after us (with different servers) get their food and even leave before we got our food. If a restaurant is busy, I am very understanding of a wait time, however they were only seating about 1/3 of the restaurant, and even then, the part they were seating wasn't even full. I noticed that they had a lot of regulars, which to me, would normally be a good thing, however I noticed that the servers were much more attentive to them than the people that may just be stopping in for a quick meal. To any POC, people part of the lgbtq+, or just anyone who isn't cis and white passing: beware and be careful. read more

diner atmosphere in a small plaza. Decent breakfast at fair price. Yea the hash browns aren't good . Dry and bland small cubes of frozen potatoes . Eggs were good . Cash only business . read more

Just had the worst experience. Our waitress was sick. Hacking the whole time. Sniffling. Confused. Took forever to even take our order. Brought out food and forgot my meal entirely. Messed up everyone else's order. I complained, nobody cared. I've had bad experiences here before but this one pushed me over the edge. read more

Cute place. Long wait. Food mediocre and small portions. Served the wrong omelette but at that point I'd have eaten anything after a 5 hour drive. read more

Most important thing is that they don't accept credit cards. This is 2022!! I ate dinner at an awesome place and asked first if they took cards. He laughed and said "Oh, you must have gone to Norma's". My omelette was good. The potatoes and toast were atrocious. The service was average. First and last time I will go there. Oh yeah, I think it was like $1.50 extra for any cheese other than A read more

Inexpensive, welcoming, and tasty:) food has always been good, people complaining about the home fries being frozen.. well they are delicious so who cares read more

It was ok at best. Home fries are small frozen potato cubes. Service was fine and gods was ok. They don't take credit card(just to plan ahead). It is big enough to accommodate a large group. read more

We found this place by accident, but are so glad we did! Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Please try this hidden gem on your travels! read more

Nice, clean atmosphere. Good food, reasonably priced. Two problems: 1 - Cash only with no ATM nearby. 2 - SLOW service. Always have go wait to have your order taken, coffee refills, or your bill. read more

I am doing a solo trip in Maine and I stumbled across this cafe. It was delicious, service was phenomenal, and the space was welcoming and clean. Their prices are insanely cheap (or maybe because I'm from LA and we are insanely expensive!) and the quality of the food was great, I was surprised! My waitress was very attending, nice, and always had a smile. If I am ever in this small town again, I will definitely return! read more

Ah Norma's. One of my favorite breakfast places. Is it the quaint atmosphere that makes it great? Or is it the food quality? Or both? To start off, there is typically never a long wait here, with the exception of perhaps Saturday or Sunday diners, the place is not "dead" per se, but is usually never "packed" either. The wait staff are very nice and attentive just enough not to get on your nerves with over-attentiveness. The food portions are reasonably generous to a person with the average stomach. Larger/smaller portions are available to people with bigger/smaller appetites of course. I've always come out with a full stomach every time. I've really never had a bad meal here. Prices are not too bad, considering there are fancier places around (The Stolen Menu, the Egg and I in Wells.) And no, I'm not saying this isn't fancy, I'm just saying it's not as expensive. Oh, and you pay at the counter. Overall, worth a visit if you want a good breakfast without a long wait time. S.O. read more

Norma's is just ok... their home fries are potatoes deep fried,,, eggs were fresh and cooked correctly and I always order their homemade muffins... cranberry and nuts which is good... The reason we come here is because they have a big parking lot and we are pulling a camper so it's easy to park... other wise we would go to other places. read more
