Southern charm through and through. This place had great iced tea, collards, biscuits and gravy and delicious datil sausage patties! Oh French dip and french toast was yummy too. Locally roasted brewed coffee and servers either the sweetest disposition. If you find yourself hungry and neat downtown Hastings, be sure to stop in and get some tasty grub! read more

Do NOT miss a visit here!!!!! The most amazing, eclectic, and delicious atmosphere and food!!

If it's on the menu, I judge a diner like this on their biscuits and sausage gravy and these folks got it right! BIG biscuits with a great milk gravy and I added just a little of their datil pepper sauce to give it a little kick. Great, prompt and friendly service and a warm inviting atmosphere! read more

Enjoyed a really good breakfast here today. Their lunch menu also looks very tasty. Definitely a locals favorite spot. We are visiting, but we will definitely come back here again. The ingredients that they use for our breakfast were all fresh. read more

It used to be called Johnny's and it was wonderful. Under new management it is still outstanding. With soul food and dishes you remember from childhood you can't go wrong here. I stopped in for lunch and selected the special. Smothered pork chops with two sides. The rice n gravy and black eyed beans were fantastic. Everything is hand made and the selection is limited to five or six main dishes and lots of side to choose from. Fried chicken, meatloaf, chuck steak and other specials are offered as well as breakfast all day on Saturday. The locals take up many of the sparkling wooden tables and that is always a great sign. Easy to miss,the restaurant is located across from the bank one block north off 207. Turn at the light. Don't wink or you will miss Hastings and Norma J's read more

We were bicycling on the Palatka-St Augustine Trail & stopped to eat here. It's where all the locals are eating. Only open until "2:30ish" so mainly a breakfast/lunch spot. Well worth the stop! read more

So I have been trying to work at this place for many many months even when the old Manager was there I worked for Mike at main Pizza across the street. He sent me over there. She told me she was hiring then told me she didn't need any help and tried to send me to another store that was an hour and a half away from my house. I couldn't take that shift because the drive wasn't worth it for two or three days a week. It wasn't even three days it was due the weekends so I called back the other day. She answered the manager and I said are y'all hiring she said yes she said I'm only hiring for three days. I said well remember me explain myself. She's already done an interview with me. She had me take a picture of my the menu And she said yes I remember you. I said I have open availability. Three days are perfect. Great transportation I still have a picture of the menu and she said yeah I'll have you in Monday morning so I call her back. She tells me she has two or three interviews then I said OK I'll call you back Monday if I don't hear from you she said that's OK. Call her back and she says oh I'm calling people back after work for interviews. I never heard from her. I feel like this Manager does not know when she sees a good employee coming and she's all over the place, I would not recommend working for her And I have plenty of experience great transportation and open availability. I told her three days would be perfect just to get my foot in the door. read more

I was in Hastings for the day on a work assignment and everyone said to go to Norma's for lunch, and they also said to go early if you want a table. We got there at 11:45 and got one of the last open tables, so our timing was perfect. The vegetarian report: Some places you go into and you know it's going to be a meal of sides. They had meal-sized salads, and there were a few dishes where I'm sure they would have easily left the meat out if I asked, but I was in the mood for classic diner sides and I was not disappointed. I tried the fried Mac & cheese (amazing), fries (excellent), and the carrot raisin salad which was perfect. The carrot salad instantly brought me back to Sunday lunches after church with my great-grandparents, and I had forgotten how much I liked it. I also got a giant slice of carrot cake to go, and it was amazing. Food was excellent, our waitress was very fast, and the food was great. Couldn't ask for anything better! read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and we are certainly looking forward to a return. They offer a full menu and have specials each day. We stopped in on Thursday and on that day their special was fried chicken and it was delicious! I believe it was around $9.00 and that included a 1/2 a chicken and 2 sides. I had the creamy coleslaw & some outstanding sweet potato fries. They actually had 16 sides to pick from. They do a tremendous business and place is bigger inside than it looks. The service was great and everyone was really friendly. read more
