I can rest easy knowing I got to experience Norms. It's truly a jack of all trades. I went in expecting something similar to places like Denny's or IHOP, but I was genuinely surprised by how energetic it felt inside. The place was packed, but the wait ended up being worth it. The service stood out right away, our server seemed genuinely happy to be there, and that kind of attitude makes a big difference. It felt welcoming and comfortable, like somewhere you could sit and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and oddly enough, my favorite ended up being the Thanksgiving dinner. The menu offers something for everyone, and the space itself is great for families or larger groups. Norms definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

Great service by Javier. had an absolutely amazing experience here! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and beautifully set up. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The service was fast without feeling rushed, and you can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. Every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're thinking about trying it--do it. You won't be disappointed! read more

The Chilaquiles were ok but they were cold. The Hawaiian French Toast uses a different kind of bread that's nice, but their regular French Toast is just as good. I didn't care for the a Spam that came with it. I got a side of sausage patties and they were good. The steak was scary and gray color, but had a decent flavor and texture. It seems like it was cooked on a grill that wasn't hot enough to give it a good enough sear. read more

Definitely prefer norms over IHOP or Dennys. Rocky was our server and did a phenomenal job. He delivered exceptional service and went above and beyond with his level of detail and hospitality. I think this is the best Norms location in Orange County for sure. read more

Been coming here a few times now. Service is always good and food is always great. I am giving a 5 Star Review, however, I must mention, I do believe that Norm's, as a company should honor MILITARY DISCOUNTS everyday, just as they honor Senior Citizens Discounts on a daily basis, I served my country for almost a decade, and that experience you can't take away from my life, as if all of my experiences just come once a year, on Veterans Day. Well, enough of my rant, but a shout out to Esteban who has been our server 2 times in a row. Good job on your service. Temperature was decent and no foul odors. Lighting was great, coming from all the natural lighting from the glass windows. Til next time Normy!! read more

MANNNNNN THIS GEM!! Who knew they had a $9.99 deal! And it's amazing! The norms is so old school inside super fun diner vibe the cushions could use a deep clean but it's a great interior. The deal I went for was the $9.99 double quarter pound cheeseburger with fries and wow this was just perfect sooooo juicy the toppings were all good and crisp the house sauce was amazing the fries were great. For $9.99 I may take this double cheeseburger and fries over TK.... My wife got a breakfast platter that was also incredible! Service is fast and efficient friendly great spot. I will be back at least monthly for that burger! read more

Norms is my favorite diner, and it's almost a requirement whenever I go to LA or OC. It has the comfortable vibes which simply cannot be beat. The music and the atmosphere will always make me feel like home. This time it was the Costa Mesa one and it did not disappoint. Started off with a split pea soup, my all time favorite soup. Then once the entrées came out, it was time to feast. The habanero jalapeño burger is unmatched. It was cooked to perfection. Paired with onion rings, and it was a perfect meal. To end the night we had single scoops of Thrifty Ice Cream, which I highly recommend be part of your meal too. Dalila was our waitress and she was superb. Went constantly above and beyond by checking in on us and making sure we were always well taken care of. I just wish they were closer, but they're always worth the drive. read more

Norm's is what I would consider a classic diner. It reminds me of a Denny's. It was good for a standard breakfast. I had chicken fried steak with eggs and pancakes. All was good except for the gravy. I asked for the gravy on the side the 2nd time because of the chalky flavor. That kept the fried steak batter crispy. For whatever reason the gravy tasted too grainy like it had too much flour or corn starch. It took away from the flavor. I liked the other aspects of the meal though. The egg and hash brown and pancakes did not disappoint. All in all a good hearty breakfast where you leave full and in some cases with leftovers to go. The service is way up there. Everyone is super friendly and happy to be there. That was a pleasant thing to experience. I will be back if ever in the area again. read more

It took a little while for someone to notice us since it was busy, but we were seated at a nice booth. My daughter ordered the kids' combo with pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, along with orange juice. She enjoyed the kids' meal and the menu activities. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad but was disappointed by the browning lettuce, and the chicken wasn't warm. I only had a few bites and regretted my decision. read more
