    The GARDEN VEGGIE SKILLET
    Regina L.

    My first visit to a Norms in decades!!!! I was impressed with how delicious The GARDEN VEGGIE SKILLET tasted. The presentation, temperature, and taste were perfect. Even the orange togo containers were top quality. My company had the county skillet and loved it. They are open late until 11pm. Staff are friendly.

    Chili Chicken CHILE VERDE CHICKEN BURRITO

    Love the taste of the Chili Vetde chicken burrito. It's on the Meal Deal list for $9.99, which is good for Srniors

    Water with lemon wedges.

    Food ok Good! I had the Cali Cod Benny and Hubby had the new Mediterranean omelette. Best part of our Breakfast was meeting our Server Ms. Wilson!! She is full of Energy and I feel in love when 1. She brought me all the creamer I needed for my coffee the first time I asked. If you're a coffee drinker with creamer you get it. Please take note that if you want to substitute your bacon for turkey they charge almost $6. Be specific on what you want. Place is clean and neat.

    Good for 3-4 people

    Food was served hot, juicy deliciously but the pasta primavera (new item) was not so great (too spicy) for me but of course it depends on the person. We love their steak. I gave 5 stars because the service was amazing. Our server named Alejandro was very welcoming and polite. The ambiance was average but its clean and bright... We definitely will come back in this branch!

    Went here for breakfast on a Sunday. Greeted and seated. Ordered a porterhouse steak along with a meat loaf lunch special. Waited a good 15 mins before our food was served. Sipped on some soda and coffee prior. Our food arrived, I could not emphasize how big the steak was. Cooked accordingly to a TEE! The steak was delicious and the meatloaf was fresh! All was good. The ambiance was good. It gets very busy on the weekend. I suggest sitting at the counter for self serve, for faster service. Overall, I would recommend this place. Also used my Valentines day discount. Buy a full size meal, get another free. It worked out well. No complaints.

    This was my first time at a norms and it was just fine! The servers and the hostess were super nice and friendly and everyone seemed to get along which was nice. I think overall I do prefer dennys maybe because I grew up with it but this was also perfectly fine. Chocolate chip pancakes saved the day and made it so worth it! It did take a while to pay which was awkward but other than that it was a nice experience

    Drastically improved in comparison to years ago. I've returned a few times recently. Food has been…read moregreat every time. Multiple outstanding experiences with minimal nitpicky issues. The roast beef hash is a stand out dish. Served with hash browns thank you. It's very meaty flavorful, not canned. Texas omelette is their chili omelette. Long winded. I've been craving a chili omelette and could not find a decent one I can eat. I have some limitations. Can't eat bell peppers or egg yolk, shouldn't eat cheese, canned chili messes up my stomach. One place, does it have bell peppers, no, ok, egg whites and no cheese. It arrives with no cheese topping but cheese inside, can't eat it, dumbaxxes. THEIRS HERE, outstanding. Turkey anything has real turkey, not lunchmeat. Onion rings are the beer batter type and very good. It's stupidly difficult to find good ones, they're here. Minor details matter. The little bowl of salsa is extremely good. I prefer the watery type like this over the thick kind. Pepper, most of the time I end up removing the cap because it barely comes out, not here. Parking very easy with their own large lot with a nice garden in the rear. Service outstanding every time, even the buss boy is on top of getting your beverage of choice quickly and keeping it topped off. It's been several years, they really turned it around. Any nitpicky issues are so minor they're not worth mentioning. There's a new king of cafe / coffee shop type of restaurant in the South Bay.

I'm still on my quest for the ultimate tuna melt, so decided to give theirs a try. It was delicious; the tuna mix was likely the tastiest I've found in my travels so far. A choice of sides came with it; I chose a decent-sized salad. Took at peak at what other diners were having, and everything I saw looked really good. Place was busy, which is always a good sign. I got there around little after noon, and only had a five minute wait myself. (Apparently, they were open late once upon a time, but important to keep in-mind they close at 3p these days.) My server was helpful, friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was everything I'd want in a diner. A great choice when one is remotely in the area!

Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

    Hahaha! We went here because it's a Long Beach icon…read more The breakfast was good (hard to screw up breakfast). My Friday morning breakfast club all enjoyed our meals. Our only complaint is that the restroom facilities for the place are outside the restaurant on the far end of the parking lot ... like an outhouse!!! LMAO! Since our breakfast club are a bunch of old farts every one of us had to make the trip, one twice, so there were complaints all around. It is what it is,,this place has been around for some 70 or 80 years and is a historic site (at least at the city level) and no one would want them alter the building. But none of the guys are asking to go back there. And I don't imagine they will. The service was excellent. An older lady we joked has probably been there since George was the busboy, but that is not fair, she's only in her 50s or 60s. She was attentive and put up with our group of old men, and one in particular who kept trying to flirt with her. I do recommend George's. If you're under 70, the bathroom is not a big deal ... and yes, it was spotless.

The owners and staff are genuinely friendly, which makes the experience even better. One interesting thing is that the restroom is located outside in the parking lot, which caught me off guard at first. But I suppose that might be part of the building's original layout from when it was first established. I've been here multiple times now, and it really feels like a hidden gem. It's a nice little sanctuary where you can just relax, enjoy the food, and soak in the vibe.

I had their orange juice... 10/10 amazing! Freshly squeezed. Not any of that bright yellow orange juice from a bottle... it has the pulp and just is so refreshing, it's the perfect go to for a breakfast drink. I haven't had chocolate chip pancakes in honestly, way too long. That was my order for this day. I said bring on the chocolate chip pancakes!! I kid you not, after 10 minutes of ordering or so the food appeared. It was FAST. I was like wait she was JUST here?!, I was so taken back and impressed by the speed of service honestly. They were locked in back there in the kitchen. I have 0 complaints. The food hit the spot. I literally could not find anything to complain about. The pancakes were perfect, absolutely packed with chocolate chips. Super chocolatey and fluffy. Eggs and sausage are pretty standard, but still, no complaints from me. The salty and savory compliment the sweetness from all the chocolate chips. I was stuffed at the end. I finished my plate and had to be rolled out of there like a broken down tire. Phew. Amazing. Hits the spots. Sends you to sleep. Also like mentioned, wear your loose pants because their portions are generous! Parking is in the plaza. Restrooms are in the back left when you enter. They also have a cute gift shop with items as well as their bakery display case. The ambiance is just as you would imagine, it's a diner home feel. Cozy and warm.
