I've been to Norma's before. I came here for a waffle last time. I came here again because I wanted my son to have a similarly wonderful experience. As I perused the menu, I was alerted to the fact that there were burgers on the menu. I ordered the bacon mac and cheese burger. The service here was imprccable, as always. Our server, Heather, was cheerful, engaging, and attentive. She made our experience pleasant and made sure that we were taken care of. Once we were given our food, I dug in. The onions rings were very good. Reasonably seasoned and crunchy. I certainly would have finished them had the burger not been so large. The burger itself was pleasant all around. Fresh, hand-made patties. The mac and cheese was creamy, though it didn't have a powerful flavor that one might expect. The bacon was top-notch. Thick and crispy. The veggies created a great blend but I feel they did not compliment the mac and cheese well. Norma's is a brilliant restaurant and a must visit if you enjoy great food. The breakfast is brilliant, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere is lively. I will continue to go here for regular meals but for burgers, it's just not what they want to do. I give Norma's a 5/5, but the burger is a 4/5.

Overall everything was great however the temperature was to warm. I had to fan myself with 2 kids menu. I know in Texas it's getting hotter but the restaurant needs to keep it cooler if your going to have over 200 people and hot food serving. I loved the rolls/ biscuits with soft butter they were the bomb 💣. I dived in quick for those. I brought my own food while everyone ate. Everyone loved their food, before you decide to order what's on the menu make sure you know that their servers everything on a larger scale. Most of everyone almost didn't finish their food because there was so much food. They start you off with delicious biscuits and rolls with butter. I did not know they serve such a big portion of plates. No one complained. I ate someone pork chops and they were good. We plan on going back there again, at least I hope so. I want to try the chicken and dumpling, chicken fried steak, patty melt, Belgium waffles, biscuits and gravy. Heather our server was nice, but I know she was very hot 🥵🔥, Well service so many people in a hot place. Thanks Norma 🙂 New day Oct 8-23 Had biscuits and sausage gravy, was very good. And the waffle I had to take home. But it was yum , yum good. 😋😋🤤

This place got increasingly worse each time I ate there. I’ve ordered from Norma’s 3 times. Same order each time. Chicken fried steak, dressing with giblet gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy, and carrots. The first time it was great. The second time is was completely different. Not as good as the first time. This made me hesitant to try it again but my husband wanted it so..that’s what we got. The 3rd time My chicken fried steak was completely burned. You could tell immediately. Once I pulled some of the breading off I could see the meat and it was literally black. It was so hard I could barely cut a knife through it. It reminded me of a hockey puck. That’s how hard it was. The giblet gravy was so weird and gross. It had almost a gel like texture. It was solid…not creamy liquid like a normal gravy. To make matters worse I called to speak to a manager and a female employee answered the phone, put me on hold, and then about 45 seconds later, hung up on me. I almost called back, but I thought better of it. Instead , I chose to leave my review and to never spend another hard earned dollar in that place. I attached a picture of the chicken fried steak. Would absolutely NOT recommend!

I love Norma's! Great food, great portions, & great prices! What's not to like? It's also BYOB (which a lot of people don't know about.)

I'm always the first to suggest Norma's whenever my friends & I are deciding on a Sunday brunch spot. We're never disappointed with the food, literally everything we've tried has been a hit. Service on the other hand has always been hit or miss. Nothing too terrible but not memorable either... Until I had Morgan. This five star review will be solely dedicated to Morgan.

Instead of my usual Sunday brunch with friends visit. I went to Norma's alone on a Saturday night on 12/21/19 because I was really craving a bowl of chili. It wasn't busy, I sat myself & was greeted with a menu by another waitress. Then Morgan came with the sweetest smile. Now I'm going to recall every specific detail that happened because this review would be too long, but the whole experience I had that night was lovely. Morgan was always checking up on me without being overbearing & always servicing me with a smile on her face.

Every request I made she was happy to do so without complaints or annoyance. Like I said I've had hit or miss service at Norma's before & no one ever stood out like Morgan. From now on I know who to ask for each time I come back. I know waiters hardly get recognition so if I could take time, do a survey, or write a review for someone who makes my whole dining experience a better one I will definitely take the time to do so. I hope this gets passed on to upper management because good service can really make a difference on how better your meal or experience is & Morgan deserves all the...

I love Norma's I have been going for years and it Pains me to only leave them a 3 star review ... but I have no choice ...

The food and service are amazing, but recently the atmosphere has suffered terribly.

I have a regular server - Her Name is Heather and she is the best person at Norma's I would go just for her even if the food was bad.

All that being said Recently due to management pressure the location is always overstaffed - servers are fighting for tables or there is nothing to do waiting for someone to come in and being bored so they slack off or talk amongst themselves.

Heather is always busy because she has regulars and her regulars are well known; However, Now every time i go in i get bombarded by a different server and I have to very specifically send them away and ask for Heather. I do not like doing this - it makes me uncomfortable and they are always disappointed. This all changed after the new manager showed up and started over-staffing the shifts.

I do not need to be charged by ravenous servers hoping i will give up my regular server, and I really DO NOT WANT to have to constantly reject servers like i am on some misbegotten dating app.

I love Norma's and I will continue to go to Norma's as long as Heather is there - but as of current the atmosphere has been ruined for me and for a diner - Atmosphere is very important.

Otherwise i would just go to...
