Staff is also very attentive and friendly anytime we visit. I was craving something hearty so compromised on a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as the goat cheese and spinach salad. The meal was great, paired with fresh squeezed orange juice, but just wish the chicken fried steak had a little more flavor. The salad was great and everything else I've tried from here has been amazing, especially from the breakfast menu. While waiting, they also bring cornbread and biscuits to help hold you over until the main course. P.S. lots of parking behind the building.

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

After living in Oak cliff for four years, I finally made it to Normas. I went with my friend who's…read morebeen coming here for like 20 years because she really wanted their chicken fried steak. our server was Jesse and he's amazing. Actually, everybody working was super friendly. I ordered the chicken fried BLT and she got the chicken fried steak. Our main entrées were great. She ordered sides of broccoli, fried okra and mac & cheese and I got a side of onion rings and then we also had the rolls and cornbread. The fried okra and bread were great. I appreciated that they gave us plenty of butter for the bread! The mac & cheese and onion rings were not very good. I will say she told me that they can be inconsistent with quality, but since they have a newer chef, things are getting better. I will definitely be back and try more things on the menu. as far as the mac & cheese, it was not very flavorful and the pasta was way overcooked. The onion rings were also way overcooked or frozen or something too. It's hard to explain, but they were tough. I did enjoy my sandwich though! I also really wanna try the pie, It looks amazing. I also thought the texas/americana decor was very cute.

Came with choices, I had the pancakes-2 big ones, large pat of whipped butter and syrup. So filling. My husband had a huge bacon omelette. HUGE!!! Served with grits. The chicken fried steak had sauce on the side-juicy. There is a daily special. We got a pecan pie to go-the most popular pie here! Yummy! Did not last long! Coffee and iced tea are fresh!

I'd eaten there once about a decade ago and found it unremarkable. Turns out, not much has changed. Service was quick, and the food was fine, but the menu was oddly limited. No classic CFS sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or okra were available. Instead, it came with a side salad, or fries and toast. (Toast felt like a strange substitution for rolls, but ok fine.) The staff was accommodating, though their overall vibe was rough around the edges. The interior has that old-school diner look, but it feels worn down and not well maintained. Given their location near a busy intersection with new apartments and housing going up all around, Metro Diner has the potential to thrive. But it doesn't seem like they've realized that yet.

I stopped by this diner while visiting my husband in Dallas. When we walked in, we weren't greeted…read moreright away, so we weren't sure if it was a seat-yourself kind of place. After a minute or two, our waitress welcomed us and seated us in the back of the restaurant. It was a little surprising since there weren't many customers and there were plenty of open tables and booths up front where everyone else was sitting. That said, our waitress was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. I ordered the chicken fried steak with two over-medium eggs and hash browns, along with a side of biscuits and gravy. The coffee was pretty average, but that's something I've come to expect from many restaurants. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. My eggs were undercooked, the chicken fried steak lacked seasoning and flavor, and the hash browns were also pretty bland. The standout, however, was the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were buttery and soft on the inside with perfectly crisp edges, and the gravy was delicious. They were easily the best thing we ordered. While I wasn't impressed with the rest of the meal, I'd honestly come back just for the biscuits and gravy. They were absolutely worth it.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive--they really go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of. The food is the real star here.

Their chicken fried steak is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy is rich and delicious. Don't even get me started on the pies--they're out of this world!

If you're looking for a spot with great food, generous portions, and top-notch service, Norma's Cafe is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!
