Norma jeans is a sports bar located in a strip mall. It does have a big bar but it's not a very big place. It has typical bar seating but there were lots of windows to let the light in. There were also numerous TVs on the wall and would be a great place to watch a game, the service was very good and friendly. Tuesday is $.75 wing night with a minimum of five. I had the boneless wings with a side of hot sauce and garlic Parmesan. The wings were very meaty about the size of the golf ball. My only comment for improvement would be. They need to have some hotter sauce, I had a great time there read more

NJ's menu is a tasty one, for sure! It's hard to beat a juicy $5 burger Monday! The bar takes up most of the room in the joint, it's a comfortable setting yet. Service is attractive and friendly, I stop in at times. Njoy read more

Server Kameron "with a K" , we were told, is an arrogant, rude person, that should be let go immediately!! I doubt that will happen, as the entire place, run by Samantha, the G.M., is an overall disaster. She and her staff truly deliver that good 'ol, "we don't give a sh*t attitude 100%. Food is barely mediocre as well. Save your $$, and go to McDonald's for better quality and service. THAT should put it in perspective! read more

Picked up order of two sandwiches and fries--$44.00!!!! Not dinners, no drinks or salads. Just two ordinary sandwiches. NOPE

Food was hot but not the best.....okay...Clam Chowder was a swing & a BIG miss, couldn't find a Clam for all the Potatoes & it was the consistency of a glass of Milk. Patty Melt yummy!! Onion straws over greasy ... The music choice playing was horrid banging above our head...and I love Zeppelin & A/C D/C....but not sure what that junk playing was...couldn't wait to get out... I also refuse to pay your CC charges...we paid cash...which is the norm for us...but if I had to use my CC the server would have not gotten as much tip unfortunately. Very Friendly Employees!! All seem happily employed!! read more

Very average food. Less than stellar service. Place isn't the cleanest. But in the bright side they have lots of live sports on tv's read more

This was my 2nd time eating there and good food,service at a good price! I will definitely go back...the chicken Alfredo was awesome and huge the Philly cheesesteak was great too. Thanks read more

The food was good. We had a couple of burgers, a reuben, and a Philly. It was all tasty and hot. The food was great. The service...not as great as it should have been. Glasses were empty most of the meal. Had to ask other wait staff who was not ours, and they were just as not happy to fill our glasses. "Meh" read more

I am giving it two stars because we could bring our dog. We were seated outside and given menus quickly, but sat there for twenty minutes without anyone coming. We went inside and asked if someone could come take our drink order, and then we waited another 15 minutes before we decided to leave. Easily missed out on a $200+ tab with 7 people dining. read more

This time a few appetizers were ordered. The nachos for 2, French fries and sweet chili boneless wings were tried. The nachos consisted of a choice of grilled chicken, beef, BBQ pork or homemade chili with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapeno, salsa and sour cream. The chili was chosen as the meat. The nacho plate was huge with plenty of ingredients. However, the chips were extremely soggy as they were all at the bottom of the plate. There was a poor ratio of chips to toppings. That was the only concern as the chili was meaty with plenty of flavor. The fries were plain, but went well with the sweet chili sauce. The wings were very good as mentioned in my previous review just with a different sauce. The sauce was a good balance of hot and sweet. read more

Food is good. We love sitting at the bar. Thursday music bingo is a lot of fun. The bartenders and customers are a good vibe.

I read all the negative reviews but my fiancés golf friends all like this place. We ate here and the service was fantastic and the food was good! the tvs are smaller than i like to watch football but I would come back read more

I gotta say this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. No order at all. The waitress seemly didn't react to the disgusting steak. I ordered a prime rib medium rare more on the rare side of town. Came out dark medium with a nasty watery pink with no real flavor. Tastes like something a mutt would eat out of the back of a dirty truck. One good thing they did have however that I had to give the two stars for. They had three different exits I could quickly escape from. read more

Get what you would expect going into a random sports bar. Service was mediocre, the burger I got was nothing better then a Mcdonald's burger. Was really set me over the edge was the bugs, not 1: not 2: but 3 big bugs! Multiple staff members acknowledged them and did not do anything about them. After my experiences I figured I would go use the restrooms but with the turds still left in the toilet I decided I better not. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a nice place to get pubes in your food and maybe get lucky on one of the local treasures. read more

I found this place to be very nice, nice wait staff and service. I went on a day they were having liver and onions as the special, I had to go for it. it was served with 4 slices of bacon along with 3 pieces of liver and plenty of gravy on the side. the meal was great. my wife went with the burger and was very happy with how it was cooked along with the taste. she loved the home made chips it came with. read more

We visited Norma Jeans for the first time and we truly enjoyed it. The food was good, but the service was even better. Andi was terrific. Very friendly and helpful. We will be going back soon! read more

We went here on a Thursday evening and had the best time and great food. It was not only Italian Night but also Music Bingo Night. We ordered the pizza special that came with two side salads. The pizza was surprisingly really good - we had it topped with fresh tomatoes and basil. Our waiter, Alberto, and busboy, Nick, were attentive and fun. The Music Bingo was a blast. We will definitely be back!! read more

Best burger in Venice. I'd definitely go back. It was music bingo night. That was fun. Music was great although a little loud.

Seems to have gone down over the last few years. Pricy for a small hamburger. Probably won't be back

We were so sad to see the quality of the food here go so far downhill we hadn't been here for over six months and were looking forward to taking our friends there to experience a local gem. Four different meals 1 satisfactory a salad 2 a Reuben and chicken wings were mediocre and the last meatballs and marinara was horrible. When we mentioned the quality the wait staff who were very nice and tried to do a good job told us that they get a lot of complaints and asked if they wanted to talk to the manager by this time we were so disappointed we just asked for the check. We knew if we paid by credit card it would be a 3.99% additional charge because the menu said so. What we didn't know was what the service charge which was 5% was for neither did our server again the offered to ask but we just wanted to go at this point. I understand restaurants are having difficulty now a days but this was truly disappointing. Hopefully someday they'll come back and then maybe I will as well read more

Went with group for Monday $5 Burgers; plain burger, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo. Each addition item; pickles, cheese, jalapeños, grilled onions, bacon, etc was $.50 - 1.50 extra. Also, MUST order a drink; soft drink, beer, or other in order to get $5 special. So I paid an extra $3 for a soft drink that I didn't want and didn't drink. Side dishes were $1-2 extra, which was a good deal. Service was a bit slow. Ambiance loud. It was the elderly Florida residents who wanted to go cause they thought they were getting such a deal. Driving miles/spending $$ on gas to save a few bucks is NOT a deal. Sorry, not impressed with this place. DO NOT INCLUDED TAXES when printing suggested tip amount on the receipt. Tip is based on food and drink, AND good service. read more

My sister and I stopped in for a drink and dessert after shopping tonight. We chose to sit at the bar and Samantha was our server. She was absolutely adorable! She took great care of us in spite of having a full bar of patrons. Her recommendation of the chocolate cake was spot on- Delicious!! We'll be back read more

Love the Philly Cheese Steak. Staff is very friendly. Great place to watch the games.

Worst experience ever!!! Bartender was the rudest person along with other worker.(not sure what her position was) After finding wripped oil soaked paper in my salad, was treated like it was my fault. No aopology or attemt to reconcile the situation. was told "Well wha do you want me to do about it!" Ignored and accosted when we tried to pay, it turned into a shouting match as this horribly rude bartenderbegan reading name on credit card and telling regulars the name on the card. We were yelled at by the other employee as we told the bartneder just to take of the bill so we could get out of there. She has know idea what had taken place and was also rude and were told never to come back. No need to worry about that!! Never treated with such disrespect. Bathroom could you a good cleaning also!! What a horrible experience. read more

This was probably the fourth time my husband and I have been there, I don't know if it's our luck or the way they divide the tables out but we always seem to get the wait staff that is overwhelmed (we have gone there before all the "hiring shortages"). The first time was later in the evening that we went there everything was OK, the second time we went was during the season so of course we had to wait no surprise that time my burger didn't come out the way I ordered, the third time we went on a Monday and found out there was a burger special I still asked to have my burger cooked medium rare and that I would pay more and my burger came out well done, and now last night again on a Monday (I had forgotten about the special) I still asked to have my burger cooked medium rare still willing to pay more to not get the special to just have my food cooked the way I wanted my burger still comes out well done. Will I go back yeah, will I be ordering a burger no. Before anyone ask no I did not bring this up to waitstaff, because I stated above the waitress seemed very overwhelmed (example being the two tables behind my husband and I got there food before they even got the drinks that they ordered) she was extremely pleasant when she was with us. read more

I'm being generous giving this restaurant a 2 out of five. I ordered two sets of 10 wings for takeout. They were the worst wings I have had in a very long time. They were very tough and unable to be eaten. The insides were pink which means they weren't cooked in the outside were so hard you couldn't even chew them. I spent $30 on something I had to throw in the trash. I do not recommend this restaurant at least for wings. I can't say if any of their other food is any good because I haven't had anything else there. I will say that the wait staff were very nice. read more

Great food and prices, fantastic service. Grilled chicken sandwich is awesome. Ate here 3 of the 4 days in the area.

Horrible service. My food was sitting up on the area where they place the food for 20 minutes. My appetizer came out at the same time as my meal. The ambiance is horrible. Never come here. read more

Norma Jean's Prime Rib Special My wife and I went to Norma Jean's today as I wanted to take advantage of their Thursday Prime Rib Special. See below screenshot from their current webpage as of 3/10/22. After we received the check I noticed we were charged $24 for the Prime Rib instead of $15.99. When I asked the waitress about the special she stated that the never had a $15.99 special and after I stated it was on their web page she brought the manager. The manager told me that they have not had that special for over two years and when I challenged her that it was currently on their web page she told me they had no control over their own web page as it is managed by a third party. It seemed clear to me that she has had this conversation with other unsuspecting patrons and I was going to be on the wrong end of this conversation. I paid the bill and left a 20% tip. The waitress was great. The only thing I can do is not go back and let others know which is the purpose of this post. read more
