Excellent service from Maria :) everything was perfectly set up as ordered thru the menu.

The food was excellent but what stood out was the service. Marina was so attentive and our coffee cup was kept high and hot!!! Thank you Marina. read more

​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! read more

Marina, You Are The Best! Thank you for taking care of an old U.S. Air Force Veteran. Breakfast was delicious and your friendly smile and expert customer service made this morning's experience one of the top 5 recent best breakfast outings in the last three weeks. Thank-you, Muchas Gracias!! Respectfully, U. S. Air Force Veteran Rancho Cucamonga, CA. read more

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 read more

We came here for breakfast and had a great experience! The food and the service were awesome! They accommodated us with a stroller and sat us quickly! We came on a Sunday morning and it was busy but we did not wait long to be seated! Our waitress was friendly and attentive! I ordered a hot chocolate and it was good! For breakfast, I got the veggie omelette with home fries and sourdough toast and my husband also got an omelette with fruit and hashbrowns and both dishes were delicious! They have many tables and are good for large groups! They also have a private parking lot! We definitely want to come back for breakfast again! read more

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. read more

Absolutely delicious chicken fries steak. Plus bountiful portions and the over-medium eggs were done perfectly. I opted for the pancakes instead of toast and they brought me two huge fluff pancakes. I heartily recommend this restaurant. Great service, too. read more

Norms - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ontario, California

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! read more

Norms continues to be one of our go-to places nearly a few times a month due to the sheer variety of food and prices, and especially promotions. The menu is much larger than you might find at an IHOP or Denny's, and if you compare the pricing, it's surprisingly better value, especially if you look at the value menu but even for normal entrées if you compare what you get. For example, for a similar fish entree that you might get at IHOP, at Norms you get more sides, you get soup and salad, it's a better value overall. In the value menu, you can get a full fish dinner for under $13, you can't find that anywhere else. Service at this Norms was friendly but a bit too slow. Our table seemed to wait nearly 30 minutes from the time we sat down until the time we got our food, which is a bit long if you've got little little ones. But we were there on a Friday evening, so we expected to wait a little longer than average. The other thing that has changed things recently for us is the Norms app which we recently downloaded, it has provided a lot of discounts and promos. It has brought us back sometimes in the same week. I was surprised how good the promos and coupons were and when we tried them, it worked so really happy with the latest changes and have already become a regular customer at this and other Norms around SoCal. read more

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. read more

We went today to have breakfast we drove around 60 miles from Home and we had the worst experience today . The waitress Wendi was so simple she doesn't have any empathy for the customers she work only for the tips ? That's wrong. Because especially right now in this situation you have to bring good customer service. Plus the food was so disgusting to much oil we have to use a napkin to remove the oil . It doesn't worth it any more. But the waitress Wendi needs to take care more the Customers . Honestly we're not going back again. She has a really bad attitude and customer service she need to learn more how to take care the customers . read more

Update: I just received a call from a Norm's representative who assured me that they are working toward bringing back the Norm's we all know & love. I have hope for the Ontario spot. I will give them some time for change. Until then, the Last Vegas Norm's is fantastic!!! ************ Left after waiting 10 minutes to be acknowledged. The Host(?) was rude and the floor was filthy. This place should be renamed Denny's, for the poor impression they made. read more

Norms offers a variety of food, steaks are my favorite. Hubby likes the hearty breakfast offerings. Recommended!!!

Stopped at the Norm's in Ontario before heading home to Barstow. Brianna was a fantastic server. She delivered our drinks quickly and with a great smile. She brought out the soup, salad and appetizers before our main course which is so important. Brianna delivered our delicious fettuccine with a great smile. Throughout our time here she has checked on us many times making sure our drinks were full and that we had all we needed. I love the ambiance in the restaurant. It is so cutely decorated. My only suggestion would be to either take down the Welcome balloons or at dust then. We sat under them and on the back side they were very dusty. Other than we love the food and stop by almost every time we are in the area. Once again, Brianna is the best. read more

First time at this location, very clean. Not a long wait time to be seated. Food is delicious even though it took a long time to get. Gave it 3 stars due to the service. Waiter didn't come to check on us at all. We had different waiters, one took our drink order, another our food order and another served our food. This location needs to step up their service. read more

Great food and service. Very clean and friendly. Easy to find. Important as we are from out of town

The servers here didn't acknowledge us at all. We waited almost 30 minutes and couldn't even get water. They helped tables that arrived well after us first. Only when we started getting up to leave did they finally come over. As soon as we walked by, one of the servers said "don't worry about them." The host was rude and made us feel like an inconvenience. We ended up going to Denny's instead, and despite it being busy, we were greeted kindly and helped within five minutes. Will not be coming back to this Norm's location. read more

Got there at 12:00pm and was seated in 20 mins.. the food came after 45 mins and the hash brown was cold. Coffee is also not that good as it was watered down. We keep on calling the server because our order was not complete.. pancake was served at the very end and had to request it to be served.. had to take it home .. not a good experience first time going there.... Also, they had an ad to be have a free breakfast sandwich if you download the app which i did.. but the server said it is for the next visit!! I am deleting the app.. not a good experience overall. read more

I ordered the gumbo through DoorDash and then reheated it in my own cup and honestly it was pretty underwhelming. I was really looking forward to a delicious authentic Cajun style gumbo thick flavorful and packed with depth but this just did not deliver. The broth was thick but it tasted more like a tomato based chicken and sausage soup than gumbo and the ingredients seemed canned rather than fresh. It is not awful just disappointing. If you are hoping for that homemade slow simmered flavor that makes gumbo so special this probably is not the one. read more

Ate a late dinner & was surprising amazed at the food choices at my childhood favorite Norms! What made it even better was the great service we had with our server Keiko. She made us welcome with such a warm & great vibe!. She told us they were open 24hrs Fridays & Saturdays too! Definitely great news for us night owls looking for good food & great service . Thanks Keiko!! read more

I came here in 2023 and waited almost over an hour to be greeted by my waiter. Gave it another shot last night and got greeted in about 15 minutes but waited over 30 minutes for them to come back and take our order. Seemed like he was the only guy, so not his fault. He felt really bad when we just decided to pay for our drinks and leave. This place needs to do better with scheduling or making sure there's enough people! read more

We ordered steak and eggs We specified steaks are medium rare and eggs are over easy But when the orders were served the steak was well done and eggs over cooked We called the server, showed her the well done steak and she took the plates saying she will take it back to the kitchen and will make a new one After a while she came back with a plate with an almost raw steak still cold in the inside served with the same over cooked eggs in the same plate We again called the server and she took back the plate saying sorry again For the third time she came back with another plate of steak and eggs but we already lost the appetite We just had the food to go and paid the bill and left. I swear we won't come back ever, people here doesn't know how to cook steaks accordingly read more

Marina was the star of my morning. I didn't expect this kind of service at a diner. She subtly cleared the table of used plates, napkins, and empty creamer containers. With a smile, she checked in throughout my meal regularly making sure I had everything I needed. The food was good especially the blueberry pancakes, and the eggs over medium were perfectly done. read more

I enjoyed everything in this restaurant. The manager Beverly is the best. Runs a tight ship, keeps an eye on everything. My server Marina was such a sweetheart. She checked on me every few mins to make sure I had everything I need. When I took too long to eat my pancakes, she even took it back to reheat it for me automatically! How do you get service like that? I had the T-Bone steak and eggs. I asked for medium, I got a nearly wall-to-wall medium on my steak. See attached picture. This branch also offers a product I have never seen at other Norms restaurants: freshly squeezed OJ. I tried it and it's the real thing! Fabulous. Norms is not Ruth Chris or Morton's. Norms is about big portions at good value. Comfort at an affordable price. My experience sure was worth far more than what I paid. I'll be back for sure, fellas. read more
