I just love it when I have amazing food and great service together! I was impressed with the Norm's breakfast. I had the veggie omelet and it was a big, wonderful omelet. It also came with fresh avocado. The server Bertha was also very attentive. She refilled our coffee cups often. read more

Super slow service. Staff sucks. No customer service skills whatsoever. No smiles, no greeting you. Took forever to bring food to table. Heard others complain about the slow service, wrong orders. Unless you want to be disappointed, do not eat here read more

First time going to this place since wifey is in the mood for an American breakfast. No food yet but looks what welcomes you. You guys need a better crew to Check that whatever goes to the paper bag for the utensils are clean. Soap residue is bad but this is worse. This might be the first and the last. Update: After almost an hour wait for our order. I specifically asked for a medium rare porter house steak and looks what we have here. A well done tbone steak. This will surely be the first and the last read more

Amazing, restaurant is super clean, everyone there is so friendly, attentive and professional. Especially our server "Lourdes", very efficient, friendly and always with a smile on her face. The food delicious as always. If I can give 10 stars, I would THANK YOU read more

first time at this location, & i was impressed! my fiancé & bestfriend wanted to grab something to eat, & honestly i have only been to one Norms, & the service is never really that great. The front wasn't the best, but we got seated, & waited about 5 minutes and Maya our server noticed we weren't being helped so she quickly grabbed utensils & approached us to get our drinks started. On top of all the other tables she had she went above & beyond to serve us. read more

Super understaffed, don't know why they were even open. Took about 40 min to be seated, one waitress who was obviously overwhelmed and I got a steak, (I didn't get a chance to take a picture) with so much Adobe sauce I had to send it back. Been here before and got good service, but tonight was a waste of time and money. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Outstanding - American Near Me - Carson, California

I liked good and fast service. We were a group of 15 people and they served us our breakfast maybe 20 min. A good time because we were a large group, of course, fresh coffee came back, only the vanilla milk was missing, but they were friendly and the place was clean. read more

Had me waiting for an hour and never cooked my meal. Then wanted to charge me to change the order. These people suck!

Located off Avalon in Carson by the South Bay Pavilion. Parking is shared with the other businesses and the mall. Lunch time here is very busy and expect to wait at least 10 mins unless it's a party of 5 or more the wait times could be more. They have a lot of workers and the servers are friendly. We actually sat at the counter cause there were two seats opened instead of waiting 10 mins. Ended up ordering the 4 deuces for $6.99 which was 2 eggs , 2 bacon, 2 sausage and 2 pancakes. I love eating at Norms there is so much to choose from and their prices are reasonable. They do give seniors discounts and others. Also check in with Yelp and get $5 off on $25 or more spent. Overall this location is nice and staff was friendly. I'd be coming back. read more

Quite sizeable portions for a good deal! My mother-in-law enjoyed the gumbo and her ham sandwich, I think it was served on pumpernickel or squaw bread. My father-in-law devoured a cheeseburger fries and onion rings. I too ordered the onion rings which were the best I've had in a while. I also ordered the habenero jalapeno bacon cheeseburger; HUGE! The habenero dressing is just spicy enough and the burger includes halved jalapenos and one giant roasted jalapeno to garnish the top. The flavored lemonades, such as cotton candy, are a treat to see and drink. We had a wonderful server, Shantejeria, apologies if I've spelled her name wrong. She was very attentive and never too far for us to ask for anything else. Food and service is always important, and this experience cements further visits for us. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Habenero Jalapeno Bacon Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Carson, California

Owners cut staff hours ! People are walking out, waiting too long to be seated, there is only one cook, staff members have to work over time because there is no one to relieve them ! Staff members are being treated unfairly by customers because there are not enough employees to accommodate the workflow ! Wait times of over 30 minute's ! Ridiculous!!!! read more

I've been going to NORMS since I was a teenager. I'm an old man now. I've never been to this location, but it did not disappoint. It wasn't crowded when I went in. It was dinner time, so that worried me a bit. I was greeted and seated right away. The server brought me a beverage and took my order. My soup and salad were fine. The chicken gumbo soup had a kick. Salad was average. I had the NY Steak and shrimp. Everything was fresh! Service was great! Thanks NORMS read more

Norms literally has a huge sign that says they never close on there wall. The hours are posted on the wall stating they don't close til 12pm Fridays and Saturdays . Took my family to eat at 11:14 to be exact and The man at the register didn't even come to the door and let us know anything he simply waved us off and gestured they were closed. When I then called to find out more information about their timing and ask about why he turned us away HE HUNG UP ON ME. Never again will I give my money to this place. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would, for the zero service we received. Waited 2 full hours with my two toddlers and left after we still had not received our food. Took 55 minutes for our waitress to take our order and then after she did not return. I had to walk around the restaurant to find her to pay for my kids' lemonades. Left after 9pm with two very hungry and very upset toddlers. read more

Me and my girlfriend ended up coming to Norms for our Valentines Day date since nearby restaurants were insanely busy. My girlfriend ordered a Fried Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with a side of salad and soup, I ordered a Mac N Cheese with a side of fries. Our waiter (Alejandro) said to me that the Mac N cheese comes with a side of soup and salad which I told him no I wanted a side of fries with my Mac n cheese. 15 minutes later after we placed our order my girlfriend received her main course also with her soup and salad. Alejandro comes back with a plate of fries which I was a little skeptical about because he could've easily carried my main course in the other hand. 15 minutes later after waiting for my Mac n Cheese my girlfriend complained Alejandro saying "my boyfriend didn't receive his food ? What's taking forever" which he responded to "Oh I thought you only wanted the fries" like no I specifically told him I wanted Max n cheese with a side of fries which he responded too oh I canceled your Mac N Cheese order because he thought all I wanted was the fries by itself, Alejandro said he'll go back and put it in as an emergency order, 10 minutes after waiting he comes back saying how my order can't be delivered because it was behind 4 orders which not only upset me but definitely my girlfriend. The service here was not great, and no communication from the staff. Just terrible I would never come here again. read more

I've been here in the past one of the main locations I like to come but today as for now it's the worst of the days there is service I got seated and 15 mins past and no one has came to ask for drinks or food The only thing we got was a great explaining 2 employees called in so there are backed up read more

Just look at the sad pictures of what I got vs. what they show on their website. For $16 that is all you get. They give a tiny piece of chicken breast and I don't even know if it was from a chicken or from a pigeon because its so tiny. It doesnt even have the roasted zucchini as shown on the picture. Their other combos were quite suitable serving, but the chicken garlic mushroom was just pure sadness. Why they even put it in such big packaging it only emphasize how small their serving is. I even asked the server who is a tall lady one if thats all the serving and she said "yes that is how it is" read more

I typically like Norms as a quick and inexpensive breakfast spot for myself and the family. This time around I was not pleased with the experience. It seemed all of the food was a little burned, especially the eggs. Some of the pancakes were over cooked as well.. although the hash browns were mostly under cooked.. I think they need to slow down a bit and serve food that's worthy of being out on the table. Makes no sense to serve food that will only be sent back. On the other hand, our server was nice. read more

The service here is terrible! I came with my husband and granddaughter. We sat at the counter. The server took our order and never came back once we received our food. We had to ask another server for the check! The whole counter was left unattended for at least 10 minutes. read more

It's your standard NORMS, and it can be quite a wait for a large party. Nonetheless, it's average as long as you keep your expectations low. I suggest the SoCal Better Breakfast with bacon, hash browns, and medium eggs, and add the strawberries and whipped cream on top of the two hot cakes. Overall, it's fine! read more

Always enjoy stopping in for a quick bite. Staff has always been nice and welcoming. No complaints.

First of all, when I order a sirloin steak, that is what I expect, not some cheap looking Carne asada with no flavor. That meat was flatter than a brick wall. Definitely not coming back. SIRLOIN STEAK BIGGER BETTER BREAKFAST more like " CARNE ASADA LITTLE BAD BREAKFAST" 1 star just because the Rassberry ice tea was good. read more

Terrible wait time for our food and considering the place was half empty. The food is not up to par by any means .

Every time my family and I come to this Norms in separate occasions Richard is our server always so kind. Food and service is always great. Thank you for Your great Service. Cashiers are always so helpful. read more

Disgusting place my sandwich is soggy from all the grease not even toasted just soggy and cold . I opened my sandwich because it didn't look like it had any meat on it and I find a long grey curly hair in between the "sausage" . I ordered online and I'm very disappointed. I call and I am told the manager isn't available. Barely any fries for $10 I'd rather go to McDonald's. Had to go to Starbucks to buy breakfast and I am overall disgusted read more

I went in on MLK Day for some breakfast with my girlfriend and had nothing but great things to say. We were sat within 15 minutes. The staff was very kind and outstanding. I loved that the manager walked by to ensure we were all good. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Don't waste your time at this location. It's horrible. We walked in, no one in line in front of us. Took 10 mins to be seated and the restaurant was maybe 1/3 full, I quickly found out why. The service is TERRIBLE and by terrible I mean non-existent, for my son and I. We were sat at 745 pm. NO ONE CAME TO TAKE OUR ORDER. We sat there til 8pm and my son was complaining he was hungry and wanted to know when he could order. We could see servers were attending to allllll the other tables but we couldn't even get water. At 8 pm we walked out. Dont waste your time and energy on this location. Take the extra time and money and go somewhere where you can be served. read more

Newer and crowded restaurant in Carson near the corner of Avalon and Del Amo. There was a 20 minute wait and we sat at the bar and were served immediately. There was a trainee serving us and a lady training her. They were both nice and accommodating. We had unlimited refills on our coffee and water. We ordered the Steak and Eggs breakfasts. One steak was cooked and my steak was not cooked as well. I ordered well but got medium well. Overall the food, atmosphere and restaurant was good and we enjoyed the visit a lot. Norms charges a food surcharge of 3% to cover the food portions, which are large and great so I have no problem paying it. We will return. read more

We were in the area doing some shopping and noticed the Norms situated in the plaza. A pleasant surprise. It was crowded, as to be expected, but we requested to be seated at the bar and were served instantly. Our hostess was new and in- training. However, she delivered the most attentive and genuine service. We were actually waited on by 3 different hostesses. Our food arrived in good time, considering the crowd. We ordered the steak and eggs. My steak was cooked to perfection, but my friend's steak was not done to his liking. Everything else was really good and tasted fresh. I'm glad to see more restaurants open up near the Carson center and plan to return again soon. read more

I have tried several times to call in my order for pickup, frequently there's been a weird recording that comes on and at first I thought it was the wrong number but it's not. Seems strange that it's a 323 phone number for the Carson location. Service is pretty slow which is why I try to call ahead. read more

Saw the ad for the 4 course meals so me and my husband came to try it out. We were greeted promptly and sat quickly. The table we were sat at had trash on it still which was removed right away but the table wasn't wiped down. My husband got the classic steak trio with chicken gumbo soup and salad. I ended up choosing the braised beef chilaquiles. When we got our food I noticed that our silverware was still dirty not just with water spots but with food as well. The waitress replaced them right away. The taste of the food was not what I was expecting. The chilaquiles were very dry and the braised beef had no flavor. The beans it came with were also flavorless. I did not end up finishing it. The soup was lacking flavor despite all the ingredients in it. The salad was just a small handful of greens. The steak was okay, the shrimp was fine. It was very underwhelming. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. read more

*7/18 3pm: Did a pick up order, I arrived and the employee with a jersey on seemed lost. We're currently still waiting for our order, said it would be completed at 3:05, it's 3:15 now and we're still waiting... Very unprofessional service. I don't understand what's going on. read more

The place maybe new, but the service is really slow, I have to wave someone for help , my food was on the cold side and over cooked , waiting for a water for over an hour , asked for water 3 times . Our server was also rude af , maybe because she's older she can't keep up with the demand . Please get better food quality and more servers . read more

Tried to give em another chance but they have absolutely gone downhill at this particular location. Ordered a simple club sandwhich on wheat w avocado...the damn thing was burned, there was hardly any turkey, and there was no avocado in sight. Also ordered a bacon cheese burger w fries and I shit you not there were about 10 damn fries in the box. I will NEVER be coming back to this sorry ass excuse of a restaurant. Stick to the Lakewood or PCH location. They need to close this one down, permanently. read more

NORMS Restaurant - WTF is this? They got 3 year olds working here? Horrible presentation and flavor. Never coming back here. - American Near Me - Carson, California

Okay so let's start off by saying if you're looking for a 5 star restaurant you're in the wrong place but there's nothing wrong with that when it comes to Norms. This place is what it is and that is sort of fast diner food, old school style food, with okay flavors. It's a nostalgic sit down dinner with your parents kind of food. The service was great! My only problem and it's pretty big PLEASE DONT TRY TO SAVE A BUCK ON SYRUP! It's mainly a breakfast place so use real MAPLE SYRUP. It was super obvious that it was VERY UNNATURAL COLORED CORN SYRUP. I had to ask the lovely waitress to show me the bottle from which they refill their table syrup with and it was about 10 ingredients to make that pail high fructose corn syrup trash. The ambience is cool besides that claw machine that steals innocent kids hopes and money not to mention the hard working budget conscious parents who give them the money and has to deal with the tears of saying no you can't have money to their child or wiping their tears from losing their money. I understand the machine makes money for someone but please do away with it. I love Norms just get rid of the tan corn syrup you call Maple Syrup and the claw machine and it will be more family friendly. A low volume jukebox with classic old school records from the 50's/60's will be awesome! read more
