Kristina was Awesome the best server I have meet. So caring and full of Beautifulness.

Everything went well here. An amazing budget meal. Grilled trout filled, coleslaw, fries and an Arnold Palmer. All for $12.00. The Trout arrived hot with the perfect texture. Tasted buttery and went well paired with the herbal tartar sauce. Coleslaw was all fresh and crisp cabbage. Fries were great too. What made things extra special was our server Kristina. She greeted us with a big smile, she knew the menu. She helped us with our choices and made our evening in traffic mellow. The ambiance was nice well lit and clean. Love the 1950's style. Gotta come back to this location read more

New Year's Day we headed to Norm's wife kids and our food was just horrible. My breakfast was disgusting. I couldn't even finish it, and I was really hungry, but it was just horrible. The bacon was poor quality, all fat, and it was burnt hashbrowns were cooked poorly. My eggs were all oily. It was just the worst breakfast I had ever had. None of our food was any good. My daughters was really bad too and our pancakes yeah we got our pancakes after about half hour later after we finished all our food we had to wait for our pancakes. Our poor waitress was embarrassed. she was a nice gal. It was New Year's Day so I gave her a good tip. It wasn't her fault. She asked me if I wanted to talk to the manager and I didn't wanna get into it, but it was very obvious that the cooks could care less. They have no pride and what they're serving, they should be ashamed of themselves. One thing for sure we're never gonna go back read more

It was my first time eating at Norms. I ordered the bigger better breakfast with French toast and man are the portions huge! French toast was thick and delicious. Food was hot, fresh and so good. Service was good and prompt and my waitress made sure my coffee stayed filled. Ambiance is a typical diner. It was busy but I got my food promptly. I have no complaints and left full and happy. read more

NORMS - CLASSIC BIGGER BETTER BREAKFAST - Diners Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Pretty good place, got the extra well done t-bone stake everything was decently flavored and coffee was also good. Im picky with my food but this place was not crazy good but was also not a bad choice will be back sometime. read more

$18 big steak special. The T bone was cooked well done despite asking it as medium rare. Meat was really tough. Not enough seasoning. There was a part that was tender, but it was about 20% of the entire steak. String beans also didn't taste so good. Waiter was very nice. Comfortable inside. It's just the steak was tough and overdone. read more

NORMS - Weird looking T bone steak - Diners Near Me - Van Nuys, California

1 1/2 minute read: The NORMS on Sherman Way has been serving this Valley community for some years now. This site is the busiest NORMS most days. You may need to wait (some) 10 to 20 minutes. But the wait is worthwhile as NORMS knows their stuff. I won't suggest any particular menu item because I go for breakfast. So if you go for lunch or dinner, you can tell me about it. I must warn you, if you want a nice quiet meal, this NORMS is noisier than a rock concert. But the food will keep you busy, Enjoy read more

Thank you for this great restaurant. Always friendly. Fresh and great tasting food, open 24 hours for night owls like me. I drive 50+ miles once or twice a month to get really great food. No norms where I live.. I always look for my favorite waiter, Jordan. He is so friendly and efficient makes my busy life a little better. Give him a high five for me, the desert rat from Lancaster. read more

had such a great experience at Norms Restaurant thanks to the amazing team! From the moment we walked in, everything ran smoothly and the atmosphere felt welcoming and organized. The manager was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly cares about the customers and the staff. They checked in with guests, made sure everyone was taken care of, and kept the whole restaurant running efficiently even during a busy time. read more

Breakfast, lunch , dinner, always a good choice and price perfect, service is great, everyone super friendly, feels homely. Always busy and only a small wait, still worth it. Been coming here for the past 20+years at least once every 6 months or so . read more

When the chef fell a little short on the details, our wonderful server Nancy was their to pick up the pieces to make sure my family had a awesome meal. Thank you Nancy for paying attention to our meal request andmaking sure we had a great experience. The vibe and ambiance was great from start to finish. She is part of the reason we have been coming here for over 40 years! read more

They really follow the norms of a low quality diner, I ordered a steak with eggs, hash browns, and pancakes and the pancakes were mid and the eggs tasted like plastic, the steak was well done and not medium and I chose medium because I want my nutrients and the steak was horrible, they had no crust and fat rendering and tasted bland, the hash browns were average and so was the pancakes and their slogan is a lie, no life starts here but rather loses their way to happiness, but at least the workers were kind read more

The food was great and Aynne was wonderful, thank you Aynne your for help and your wonderful smile you made my day

Norms has the best food & service!! Kristina is Amazing! This is our Friday Night spot now!

I visited the Norms in Van Nuys on 9/4/25 around 1:45 pm. When I checked in, I asked for a table for one and mentioned that I'd like to sit near an outlet so I could do some work. The host told me to have a seat and that they would accommodate me shortly. After waiting about 15-20 minutes, my name was called and I was seated. Once at the table, I asked the waitress where I could plug in my electronics and said I'd be placing an order. She told me there were no outlets available anywhere in the restaurant. I explained that I had asked about this when I first arrived, so it would have been better to tell me upfront instead of having me wait that long. This was my first horrible experience at this location, and I ended up leaving disappointed. I will update my review once I stop by another day to see if things go differently. read more

Norms is just such a classic.. Can't beat the prices and service.... Kristina is such a sweetheart always so friendly... the little Hawaiian sliders are soo yummy. read more

Food is great, it's been a while since coming here! Will be more often now, since having a wonderful meal. With server Christina, what a great personality! read more

My husband and I come to Norm's at least once a week. The food is always great--my favorite is the California omelette, which is consistently made to perfection--but what really keeps us coming back is the service. One standout server is Kristina. She brings genuine warmth and sincerity to every interaction, and it shows in the way she treats customers. Servers like Kristina are very hard to find these days! A true gem! read more

The customer service was soo good! This is my first time in LA and the very first place to dine out. It was pretty busy and not going to lie I was about to go somewhere else because we had a dentist appt scheduled at 9. But I'm so happy I didn't! I didn't get the name of our server but I was looking around and all of them are soooo nice and sweet! I 100% recommend! I will DEFINITELY be back the next time I'm in LA! read more

Food was great. Service was exceptional & very friendly. Prices always very reasonable. I can't imagine anyone leaving Norms hungry. The place is always crowded for a reason. And it's worth the short wait if any. Comfort food at it's best! read more

Today September 18, 2025, my husband & I went to have lunch. We both had burgers & they were Delicious! Our Server whom we've seen at Norms before , her name is Kristina. We need more Kristina's in this world. She is super nice, attentive, happy & I love how she says bye to every patrons leaving the restaurant even though she wasn't their server & she tells them, "see you tomorrow". Kristina is so professional, her appearance is great!! She represents the restaurant with her hair clips, earrings, pen she writes with & her pins on her work shirt. She is truly an employee who appreciates her job. 10 Stars for Kristina!!! Thank you Kristina for an enjoyable lunch! read more

It's been awhile since I've come in, but after a night in Hollywood, we get ahankerin' for Norms' comfort food! Even on a Monday a 10:30 this location is hopping! We had a less than 5 min wait before Jordan seated us and gave us menus. He gave us a moment to look them over, get my necessary pics(lol) then took our order. Boy was he running around! Food arrived in less than 15mins and was delicious. My $15 Classic Bigger, Better Breakfast offered 2 bacon, 2 sausage, a slice of ham, 2 eggs, hash browns and 2 pancakes. I subbed 4 bacon for the sausage and French fries for the hash browns. It was a LOT of tasty, greasy piggy - YUM! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the pancakes fluffy and traditionally delicious Norms. Hubs went for the $14.50 Classic 1/2lb Dbl Cheeseburger w/ 2 strips of bacon, which included his fries(or a choice of onion rings, Tater Tots, or fresh fruit). He also got a chocolate shake. At Norms they serve your shake along with the metal shake blender cup with the extra they couldn't fill into the tall ice cream shake glass, just like malt shops use to do! So their $6 shakes are more the size of 2 shakes at other restaurants. Jordan was quick to spot my request for a hot chocolate refill - ohhhh yeaaaah, they bring FREE refills on hot chocolate! - and before we had got the seats warm, our meals were done. I guess we didn't realize just how hungry we were! Despite it being quite busy, a group of servers took a moment to sing Happy Birthday to a guest at another table. Noice! This casual, family friendly restaurants attracts all kinds of nice people and the staff are quite pleasant as well. Thanks for another great meal, keep up the good food at fair prices, prepare and served by people who treat us like family. Cheers! read more

Great time, food, service, and value at Norm's! It all started with our gracious hostess (her middle name was Grace) who gave us a warm welcome and handed us over to "best server ever" Kristina who kindly informed us of new offerings on the menu, from where we ordered the new, tasty, and sumptuous Chicken Parmigiana and old time favorite Liver & Onions (so glad you brought this one back!); but we started with bowls of zesty gumbo. Well, the Norm's experience is/was not complete without a dessert. Our choice: Ice cream schooner, custom-prepared to our wishes by lovely Kristina, along with two cups of coffee (regular and decaf). We were really happy with the quality of the food, service and price; and looking around at the full restaurant, we were not the only ones enjoying a good time. Birthdays were celebrated and lots of friends and families like the two of us contributed to a great atmosphere. Thanks, Norm's, for a very enjoyable experience! read more

I love you Kristina! Thank you so much for the amazing service. The food was good the atmosphere was good but the service from Kristina is what made our experience phenomenal. read more
