All staff are very friendly but special thanks to Joaquin who always makes the environment comfortable and welcoming. I heard a lot of people who asked to be seated in the area where he's serving. The food is delicious and has an affordable prices. read more

The tables were clean, the food was delicious, and we had an amazing time! Our waiter Rogelio was super nice and very helpful!

We've been going to the HB location for the past 20+ years. Staffs were very friendly, and provided great customer service. Shout out to Billy!!!! Our most recent visit was with Khan. He really took care of us the whole time. He was super attentive, always checking in, and made sure we had everything we needed without it feeling too much. Always our #1 to-go place if I'm too lazy to cook. read more

Went here for lunch with a work partner and we both decided to get the same breakfast. We got the 16 oz porterhouse steak and eggs (over easy) with hash browns and fruit. It was delicious and mine was cooked a perfect medium rare. Our server Robyn was awesome, friendly and courteous. Restrooms were very clean and the whole place looks clean. When I'm in the area again I'll be back. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Identical plates: 16 oz porterhouse steak, eggs over easy, hash brown potatoes, and fruit. Iced tea. - American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I al sad to do this. Because we always come here and never had an issue! This place was loud and had no manager from what it seemed. At first. Waitress didnt offer refills. I had to ask for a coffee. Togo. And brought a to go container before we were even ready to go. I understand theu had a big party c ome on and. Needed put table but it was rude! Then when I told the manager he literally chuckled and and said sorry about that! On top of it all the ribs were disgusting! And when I went to pay my husband was at the restroom and forgot his coffee. When I went to sit back down they through everything!!!! Worst visit ever. And the manager Chris did nothing! Yes a manger was there when everyone was yelling! He said nothing then either read more

Norms is pretty consistent, service is efficient. My husband loves their pancakes. I've been ordering their Bigger Better Breakfast sandwich. It comes dry so I ask for a side of mayo. The bacon here is terrible, like you'd get at a convention or hotel breakfast buffet. Cooked in large batches and hard/dried out. They have a good fruit cup, nice mix of fruit and not just melon. We have the app so usually there's something for free. Today was $10 off. read more

This 1 star review is for this evening. It does not reflect the many years I have been coming to Norms with family and friends since the 1980s. My husband used to clean the carpets and floors for Norms a few years ago and so he has taken a liking to visiting Norms. We almost went to the Cheesecake Factory but decided on Norms instead. His app said he had a birthday cheesecake waiting for him, so he wanted to redeem it. Today is my husband's birthday. Our server was Nicole. Her customer service was lacking tonight. I'd never seen her before. We usually get Joaquin, who is extremely helpful and knows my husband and my sisters boyfriend on a first name basis. We had a party of 4. Myself, my husband, my sister, and her boyfriend. We were asked what we wanted to drink and we all got our waters. The men got coffee. My husband used to be a server as well as went to culinary arts school, so he is very much about restaurants and watching how he is served, how the wait staff pays attention to detail, and how others are being serviced as well. We weren't ready to order by the time Nicole came back. She said, "I'll give you another minute," and went to help another party. One minute turned into ten. She finally came back to us. My sister's boyfriend ordered fettuccini Alfredo and gumbo. The other soup option was off the menu because they ran out. My sister ordered medium rare steak. I ordered open faced turkey sandwich. My husband ordered a Caesar salad and wanted the appetizer of Hawaiian slider burgers. His coffee cup was empty and sat at the edge of the table waiting for a refill for almost ten minutes. Nobody came to refill it. Because my husband began to make comments, my sister's boyfriend flagged Nicole down to refill my husband's coffee. My sister and her boyfriend recieved their salads. The sliders, which are on the appetizer list, didn't come. We'd assume that they would come before our actual meals. Our food finally arrived, sliders came last. Mid-meal my husband and my sister's boyfriend's coffees were empty. A second time, her boyfriend had to flag Nicole and ask her for more coffee refills. Now, my husband, whom I told to be nice, is getting very irritated. He told my sisters boyfriend, "you shouldn't have to remind your server how to do their job." It's his birthday and his dinner was ruined. So, we finished our meals. My husband ordered his free birthday cheesecake from the app and a super schooner ice cream. My sister and her boyfriend ordered sundaes. The sundaes came and the cheesecake came. I asked where the super schooner ice cream was. Nicole was like, "All I heard was cheesecake to go. Super schooner?" My sister said, "My brother-in-law ordered a super schooner with the cheesecake." Nicole said, "Ok, I'll get that made for you right now. Chocolate or hot fudge?" My husband comes back from being outside, in ear shot and realized I was ordering a super schooner on his behalf...again, and now he's fuming. Nicole walks away. My husband sits down and my sister and her boyfriend finish their sundaes. Still no super schooner. My husband flags Nicole down and said, "We want the bill already." She snaps back, "We are working on your ice cream." He tells her to make the ice cream to go. We sit about five minutes more. I said, "Just tell her to cancel the ice cream. Let's go." Nicole comes back with the ice cream in a coffee cup to go. My sister had full view of the wait staff from where she was sitting and said Nicole didn't start the super schooner till he wanted the check. She had been making salads and taking orders. Nicole told us to have a good night and my husband told her, "Learn to do your job better." She went back to her station in the center of the restaurant and was whispering to Joaquin and someone else, as I was walking out. Then, got quiet as I started to pass. My sister left her a penny. My sister said Nicole has served her before and was just as lax and customer service was bad then, too. Now, I see why she wanted us to go to Cheesecake Factory. Nicole really knew how to mess up what was supposed to be a beautiful birthday dinner. Almost 4 decades of being a faithful customer, and now I'm not comfortable taking anyone to Norms because of one bad experience and a husband who is very much opinionated. Y'all ruined it for us. For real. Nicole, I hope you learn from this huge mishap. I hope this review is a learning lesson. It saddens me that I even had to take it here. It was THAT bad. read more

Norm's is a staple to the local community with their good size menu and fair prices. On this occasion I had the surf and turf. The strip was battered well and cooked nicely. The steak was tender and cooked medium rare. The split pea soup was a bit watery and messy appearance, but the flavor was good. The service was slow and it wasn't a busy night. Overall, good enough. read more

We love our Norms, it's our diner version of "Cheers." Joe was our Server today as he has been many times. He is very smart, warm, kind, attentive and fast. He remembers us and asks "Where have you been haven't seen you for awhile." He instantly remembers our usual order and confirms it. I wanted to give him a shout out today for being so wonderful because he deserves it. Great food, great service. We heart our "Normies." read more

After dental cleaning appointments, Diane and I went here to mess up our pretty teeth with breakfast items. I had a Classic Breakfast with two good Sunny Side Up Eggs that were almost runny but not quite, very flavorful Turkey Bacon Strips, fine mostly crispy Hash Browns, and buttered Sourdough Toast. I washed my food down with a Large Orange Juice that tasted fresh brewed. Diane ordered a So Cal Breakfast that she liked, with Scrambled Eggs and added cheese, Bacon, Hash Browns, and Buttermilk Pancakes, in addition to two cups of Hot Chocolate. It was too much food for her, so the pancakes went home. Seating was comfortable, prices reasonable, and service very good, except our waitress brought me different jellies than I had asked for. This is a solid place for breakfast food. read more

My wife and I stopped in while she was meeting with a colleague for lunch. We seated immediately and it was apparent this norms was recently remodeled. They did a really good job! After reviewing the lengthy menu, I decided on their Cobb salad with a bowl of soup and garlic toast while my wife went for three pancakes. The soup came out relatively quickly and was very delicious! I always do like a good Navy bean soup! Our meals came out and my salad was absolutely a fantastic presentation as was my wife's pancakes! Not only did that Cobb salad look good, it taste tasted great! Sometimes Norm's gets overlooked; however, they are consistently good and reasonably priced! read more

came here after snowboarding as i was craving a burger and we didn't get back into town till very late so i decided to try norms for the first time since it's open 24 hours haha. the inside is very similar to your local dennys or ihops and has that kind of old school diner feel. our server was nice, but don't expect top notch service at these kind of establishments (unless they really love what they do or interacting with their guests). food was alright, honestly a lot better tasting and quality than dennys. my burger was a little on the dry side and could've used a bit more sauce but the flavor overall was decent. onion rings were really good though, super crispy and delicious! my boyfriend's steak eggs and hashbrown plate was pretty good as well. he asked the steak to be done medium rare and i'd say they did a pretty good job for how thin the meat was (almost like a skirt steak). eggs, hashbrowns, and hot cakes (not pictured) were also good too; can't really go wrong with those though! i'd come back if i was craving some american diner/breakfast items late at night again. read more

Came in for cheeseburger specials and pancakes today and received HORRIBLE service. They never came back with refills or if anything was needed. Then they double charged the pancakes and refused to remove it off the bill. The manager said, "first you eat them and then complain?!" Accusing my mother of STEALING pancakes?! He eventually removed the second order that we never ordered meanwhile the server was reapplying lipstick behind him while he was accusing my mother! They embarrassed my mother over their own mistake! ABSOLUTELY the WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Norms I hope you address your employees to be professional my son who witnessed this could not believe how bad your employees behaved. read more

I'm sorry but I really gave this place a shot. We came with an open mind but they just didn't perform well. We only asked simple stuff like plates with no food marks or the correct order. But the staff just couldn't give us what we asked for. We asked couple times for clean plates but they were always dirty and still have some dried food on them. Food is just okay, but they didn't get my order correct. They gave me the wrong side dish like twice.. Ugh, we just got to the point where we didn't ask for clean plates anymore because its useless.. it was crowded when we arrived, and there were a lot of people celebrating something. The vibe is just ok. read more

I love going to Norms--it's one of the best spots for value and comfort food. Every time I visit, I happen to get the same amazing server, Joaquin.

Came out to eat at Norms with the family for a late night meal. I have passed by this location many times & was not away this place was OPEN 24 HRS! This was my 2nd time at NORMS - because there are no San Diego locations! Definitively not disappointed - the location was clean with a classic diner vibe. The food came out quick & tasted great. The cherry on the top was the service from Joaquin our waiter. read more

Norms has become a go-to for me and my friends, especially after a night out when everything else is closed and you just need something solid before heading home. Late-night munchies are real, and this place consistently hits. Yeah, it gets busy (as expected), but honestly, that's part of why I'm writing this. I want to call out a recent experience because the staff handled it really well. Jessica is almost always up front and running the floor, and she does it effortlessly. She's genuinely warm, quick, and attentive--even when it's clearly hectic. Also, yes, she's gorgeous--but more importantly, she shows up with a smile every single time, not just for me but for everyone around. That kind of consistency doesn't go unnoticed. And shoutout to Jose, who helped me and my friends with our to-go order. Super efficient, easy to deal with, and just made the whole process smooth when things could've easily been chaotic. Overall, every time we come here, the experience is solid--never below above-average, which is honestly rare for late-night spots. Good food, reliable service, and people who clearly work hard. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Oof...and oh no.... Norms has always been a real good choice. They must have been shortstaffed as I see the way the main lead person / manager doing his best covering the waitstaff and a restaurant full of patrons. Carmen was her name and as much as she tried to be attentive, apparantly her station was too demanding. We did order and got what otherwise was a good meal...SoCal Bacon breakfast with SD toast and Apple juice for the lovely missus and a steak dinner that included soup (chicken gumbo) and a salad for me. The NY steak was a thin 8ozs and the medium rare came out just right. The manager was tasked to bring out all of our food to the table as we didn't see much of Carmen. Norms has a promo of meals to take home for an additional $5.99 and I chose the pictured juicy meatloaf plate. The manager took our order for this extra meal and brought it over packaged and bagged and it was ready and warm. The bill was a confusing matter and I am not a big fan of that POS on the table. Carmen was going to help but I had already done my deed + 15% and I mentioned that I didn't get to scan or put in my Norms rewards program.. ... oh well... we see she is busy. I motioned I'll get the receipt via email. Once home I noticed the 15 became 18...did I just hit the wrong button? When it came time to heat and eat the meatloaf platter, a big sigh of disappointment hit me. Mashed potatoes was fully abundant and carrots were fine...but one thin slice of meatloaf?... Norms, this visit/experience was not the best. read more

If you have food allergies this is NOT your place. I'm allergic to eggs, dairy, citrus, so breakfast is hardest meal for me. Substitution of fruit or potatoes for eggs is not fair. I'm paying more for less. Fair would be protein for protein. And then I find this on my plate. Looks like fiber from a towel. read more

I have been going to this specific Norm's since the 90's. My dad used to take us when we were pups. Nowadays, you'll catch me sitting at the counter by myself. A cup of coffee and just reminiscing. This place means a lot to me and I'm sure to many others locally. Lately, my server Jessica has been serving me. She is an absolute joy. Fun to chat with and always service with a huge smile. Starts my day off right, everytime :) read more

This is a nice looking Diner, relatively clean and a long time staple of the community. We've eaten here many times over the years. But it's all downhill from here as the breakfast items were not what we'd expect. My California omelette was poorly made and served cold, I opted for biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were slightly larger than a poker chip and the gravy and side of gravy served cold. My wife's breakfast was ham and eggs and my daughter's breakfast was scrambled eggs and bacon with pancakes on the side. Everything was less than ok and a huge disappointment, we were baffled that quality has suffered drastically in just a short time. The check came to $66.00 + tip which our server Jose was great and the only positive thing about the experience. Bottom line, there are plenty of options at $78.00 so it's a safe bet we won't be going back to Norms. read more

Great overall experience. Khan was very attentive, and got our order 100% correct. Thank you Norma Restaurants. read more

One star for Sunday, five stars for weekday late evening. Dont go on the weekend. It's all about the ambiance on weekdays later hours. I forget our waitresses name on our weekday 8pm ish visit but she was amazing. Our waitress at the counter/bar on Sunday was friendly and hardworking but like the entire staff, visibly overwhelmed. Back to weekday visit: The buttermilk pancakes are massive, buttery and fluffy. The country skillet was filling. Coffee was strong and received multiple refills. Classic diner experience. Classic norms. Whatever you do- do not order steak n eggs. Steak is a thin, grey weird piece of meat. If you order medium rare you'll have to have the chefs remake it cuz it comes out well done by the time it comes out right your eggs and hash browns are cold. Again, this is if you sit at the counter in front of the kitchen on a Sunday. It was a one star experience. And slow service for bar seating. Repeat- go later in the evening on a weekday if you have a craving for California diner vibes. read more

This was my first time trying Norms. I ordered the pancakes -- they were solid and definitely worth it. However, the rib combo was a letdown. Don't get the ribs -- they were the skinny kind with barely any meat on them. I'd recommend sticking with the eggs and pancakes. Norms should definitely stay a brunch spot, not a BBQ one. read more

Going to a classic American diner that's open 24 hours is such a vibe, especially for a late night bite to eat. It was after 10PM and I was surprised at how crowded this place was. The staff were all really nice and attentive. I tried their Melting Pot omelet which was pretty flavorful with lots of meat. Their hash browns were also fresh and just crispy enough. The pancakes were soft & buttery. The price was also pretty reasonable for the portions, can't complain! read more
