    Blackened Salmon
    Paul P.

    Like coming to this Norms it is clean service is good. Sometimes you get a decent meal at a good price not the best though. Food: blackened salmon soup, salad included. Soup was clam chowder had to much of a flour taste salad just plain lettuce could have use some croutons or cherry tomatoes. The veggies one or two broccoli rest cauliflower seamed over cooked

    WHY I CAME HERE? My eldest daughter and I were at the Norms in Ontario Mills for a very late dinner. Lucky for us, they were still open. Our very first visit ever at a Norms and they have been open since 1949... 76 years later. Better late than never! Glad to finally catch them in this lifetime LOL. FOOD / DRINK: WOW, I was super amazed by their massive menu that covers quite a variety for the classic American diner delights! Let's name them off for you... steak & eggs, hearty skillets, breakfast specialties, fresh farm omeletes, all day breakfast combo cravings, french toast & waffles, shareables, handcrafted burgers, sandwiches & melts, salads, pastas, steak, seafood, classic comforts, kids menu, desserts, and beverages & shakes. Now that's a menu!! Choices are endless... okay, almost endless LOL. Well, after much contemplations on what to eat, we decided on 3 items. OMG... when our food came out, my eyes widened with astonishment. Portions were ENORMOUS! Prices were so very reasonable. Definitely got the BEST BANG for our BUCK! Triple B's!! Everything was so fresh and tasty. Check out the photos! I would get the CA Cobb Salad and Fisherman Combo Seafood Platter again... worth the moola! As for the El Benedicto, I wasn't a big fan of the chorizo... still good, but I would have preferred something lighter... will try the Cali-Cado Benny next time. 1 California Cobb Salad + toast + Italian dressing (for us to share) 1 El Benedicto with hollandaise sauce (for me) 1 Fishman Combo Seafood Platter + soup + salad + choice of potato + choice of white or brown gravy (for my daughter) STAFF / SERVICE: Our server, Chris, was amazing! We had to wave him down a few times (he was covering a lot of tables), but he made sure our dining needs were met at every request. Thank you so much young man! Food came out timely except for my El Benedicto. I would think eggs take the shortest time to make LOL. We found out they only had one cook at the time. It was understandable. Thank you to their cook for doing the best they can that evening. INTERIOR / AMBIANCE: Great interior space with bench seating, tables and chairs seating, and bar stools seating. They sure got it covered. Very cozy all around. We got to sit at one of the benches facing the kitchen entrance. We wanted to make sure our food got to us sooner than later LOL. Anyway, it was quite comfortable. There's a small bench area near the entrance for people to sit and wait until their table is ready. Good thinking! One men's restroom and one women's restroom for use... please ask the staff for key code that's required. EXTERIOR / PARKING: No outside seating for dining except for a few benches for people to sit while waiting for their table to be ready. Thanks for being thoughtful to your customers, Norms! Free parking is available. If lot gets full, you can park in the general parking on the other side of the drive path. You have the entire Ontario Mills parking lot to choose from. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE? I CONCUR on YES! No doubt about it. I will be back for more deliciousness and to try their other food/drink/dessert items. There are a good handful of Norms that open 24 hours every day, but not all of them though. Some open 24 hours on certain days. Please check their business hours before heading over to your respective Norms location. Happy Eating at Where Life Happens!

    One thing I can say about this Norms is, they for sure make my food fresh because, everytime I go to pick it up, it's never ready, and I've always had to wait! One of the times I went, I saw Mr.Tendernism himself. I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my food (per usual, lol) and my head was down on my phone. He spoke to me as he was passing by, and when I looked up, I saw it was him. It didn't dawn on me who he was, until he walked out. Anyhow back to Norms.....my food has been delicious and service was friendly. Wish they were 24 hours.

    ​After church it felt like everyone in Ontario had the same idea. Everywhere was absolutely packed! We finally landed at Norms and honestly, a 20-minute wait felt like a total win compared to the hour-long lines elsewhere. ​Here is the lowdown on our "Plan B" brunch. ​The BLT with Avocado I ordered and tried to be a "good girl" and requested wheat bread to stay on the healthier side... big mistake! The bread was so hard it was actually a struggle to bite into. Sadly, I couldn't really enjoy my sandwich. Stick to the sourdough ladies! ​The enchilada Omelet my daughter went for this and it was such a unique twist. A little different but surprisingly tasty! ​The "Sneak Attack" I may or may not have stolen an onion ring from my son-in-law... It was perfectly crunchy, not oily at all, and that ranch dressing, Divine. ​Norms is a classic for a reason! Even with my "rock-hard" bread mishap the atmosphere was lively and the service was steady for a busy Sunday. Next time I'm skipping the health kick and going straight for those onion rings!

    A newly opened location. Excellent service. Very spacious and good venue for special events ! Offers A variety of dishes in their menu which i like to try another day. Granddaughter loved the blueberry pancakes !!! The carnitas omelette was seasoned well and delicious!!!

    The service is always excellent, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a perfect and relaxing spot for brunch. They've done a great job keeping the place clean and well-maintained. The food is consistently outstanding, and the coffee is always fresh. Everything is cooked thoroughly with the right balance of flavors, and there are always new selections available to try.

    Our experiences with Norms in Los Angeles have been very good in the past. This was our first visit to a Norms post-Covid, and it was disappointing. Clearly understaffed for a Sunday midday crowd, service was slow and inattentive. Twice I had to go up to the counter to ask for something after waiting and waiting for our server to bring it to us. The Menu has been stripped down to essentially burgers, steps, fried foods, and breakfast items. I decided to try a "new" breakfast item, the Cali-Cado Benny -- i.e , Benedict. It was pretty good: 2 toasted English muffin halves, grilled tomato, fresh avocado, 2 poached eggs topped with Hollandaise, bacon and green onions. I ordered the eggs "soft with runny yolks", yet the kitchen sent out two eggs with yolks as hard as golf balls! No excuse. I sent them back for a new plate prepared as ordered. Second order was better but also not as ordered. Rather go around a third time with the kitchen, I decided to quit while I was ahead. In short, no need to return here. This Norms is on the northern perimeter of Ontario Mills.

    he was awesome, hard working guy. running so many tables by himself

    Marina was our server--she provided fast, attentive service. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. My husband and I really enjoyed our experience.

This is where the disappointment came. Our new server rarely checked in on us. Within the additional hour of our stay we only ordered one round of beers ( had she come more often we would have ordered more). But the biggest upset was that our table was touched by 3 separate people an no one cleared our table. We sat for over an hour with our hot beers an a completely filthy table. Needless to say we paid for our 2nd tab an our table still remained with our plates from our first tab.

Once seated, we were initially assisted by a waitress who appeared frustrated. After our drinks were delivered, I ordered what I understood to be a Coke product. However, the beverage appeared to be an off-brand cola and tasted flat. I politely brought this to her attention. I also requested children's cups for my kids, which seemed to further frustrate her. After addressing these concerns, the waitress walked away and did not return to our table. We were subsequently assisted by another host. I understand that staff may share responsibilities among different tables, and I was informed by the store manager that hosting responsibilities are shared. However, from my perspective, it appeared that the original waitress was intentionally avoiding our table. I brought my concerns to the manager because I believe that when I leave a tip, it should reflect the service and attention provided to my table. I do not believe a customer should feel as though they are being avoided simply because they raised legitimate concerns about their food, beverages, or service. I do want to acknowledge that the manager handled the situation very professionally. He was helpful, understanding, and took the time to listen to my concerns. He made an effort to address the situation and ensure that we received appropriate service. Overall, my concern is not simply about the initial wait or the beverage. It is about the way my concerns appeared to be received and the lack of follow-up service afterward. I hope management will use this experience as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of professionalism, communication, and customer service with the staff.

I initially called four times before coming in because I was trying to avoid feeling disappointed if they were unable to accommodate me. No one answered. When I arrived, I sat at the bar in the area designated for disability access, but there were cups and other items taking up the space like last time. As soon as I sat down, the bartender she rushed over to clear them. At least this time she wasn't rude. That area should have been kept clear and accessible in the first place. Not everyone can sit comfortably at a high-top, which is exactly why designated accessible seating needs to remain available and unobstructed. People who need accessible seating should be able to use it without feeling like they are inconveniencing anyone. The bartender also seemed to need more training when it came to basic bar service and managing the space for customers. When my food was ready my to go drink was not made.. the guy who handed me the food said, I should let the bartender know. I replied if I order to go, the drink ticket has been sitting at the bar. Why would I have to tell her anything. It's her job to see a ticket and make the drink.. He shooked his head yes and let her know. I placed a to go order. The drink ticket had been waiting. I used to bartend at a very busy dive bar, so I understand the job and the expectations. I never kept cups sitting all over the bar or allowed my workspace to limit where customers could comfortably sit. I also payed attention to the drink ticket orders. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar during the day. Hopefully management provides better training and makes sure the accessible seating area is treated with the attention and respect it deserves. When I got home they didn't include the pita chips to eat with what I ordered..
