    Blackened Salmon
    Paul P.

    Like coming to this Norms it is clean service is good. Sometimes you get a decent meal at a good price not the best though. Food: blackened salmon soup, salad included. Soup was clam chowder had to much of a flour taste salad just plain lettuce could have use some croutons or cherry tomatoes. The veggies one or two broccoli rest cauliflower seamed over cooked

    Fisherman's platter

    One thing I can say about this Norms is, they for sure make my food fresh because, everytime I go to pick it up, it's never ready, and I've always had to wait! One of the times I went, I saw Mr.Tendernism himself. I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my food (per usual, lol) and my head was down on my phone. He spoke to me as he was passing by, and when I looked up, I saw it was him. It didn't dawn on me who he was, until he walked out. Anyhow back to Norms.....my food has been delicious and service was friendly. Wish they were 24 hours.

    WHY I CAME HERE? My eldest daughter and I were at the Norms in Ontario Mills for a very late dinner. Lucky for us, they were still open. Our very first visit ever at a Norms and they have been open since 1949... 76 years later. Better late than never! Glad to finally catch them in this lifetime LOL. FOOD / DRINK: WOW, I was super amazed by their massive menu that covers quite a variety for the classic American diner delights! Let's name them off for you... steak & eggs, hearty skillets, breakfast specialties, fresh farm omeletes, all day breakfast combo cravings, french toast & waffles, shareables, handcrafted burgers, sandwiches & melts, salads, pastas, steak, seafood, classic comforts, kids menu, desserts, and beverages & shakes. Now that's a menu!! Choices are endless... okay, almost endless LOL. Well, after much contemplations on what to eat, we decided on 3 items. OMG... when our food came out, my eyes widened with astonishment. Portions were ENORMOUS! Prices were so very reasonable. Definitely got the BEST BANG for our BUCK! Triple B's!! Everything was so fresh and tasty. Check out the photos! I would get the CA Cobb Salad and Fisherman Combo Seafood Platter again... worth the moola! As for the El Benedicto, I wasn't a big fan of the chorizo... still good, but I would have preferred something lighter... will try the Cali-Cado Benny next time. 1 California Cobb Salad + toast + Italian dressing (for us to share) 1 El Benedicto with hollandaise sauce (for me) 1 Fishman Combo Seafood Platter + soup + salad + choice of potato + choice of white or brown gravy (for my daughter) STAFF / SERVICE: Our server, Chris, was amazing! We had to wave him down a few times (he was covering a lot of tables), but he made sure our dining needs were met at every request. Thank you so much young man! Food came out timely except for my El Benedicto. I would think eggs take the shortest time to make LOL. We found out they only had one cook at the time. It was understandable. Thank you to their cook for doing the best they can that evening. INTERIOR / AMBIANCE: Great interior space with bench seating, tables and chairs seating, and bar stools seating. They sure got it covered. Very cozy all around. We got to sit at one of the benches facing the kitchen entrance. We wanted to make sure our food got to us sooner than later LOL. Anyway, it was quite comfortable. There's a small bench area near the entrance for people to sit and wait until their table is ready. Good thinking! One men's restroom and one women's restroom for use... please ask the staff for key code that's required. EXTERIOR / PARKING: No outside seating for dining except for a few benches for people to sit while waiting for their table to be ready. Thanks for being thoughtful to your customers, Norms! Free parking is available. If lot gets full, you can park in the general parking on the other side of the drive path. You have the entire Ontario Mills parking lot to choose from. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE? I CONCUR on YES! No doubt about it. I will be back for more deliciousness and to try their other food/drink/dessert items. There are a good handful of Norms that open 24 hours every day, but not all of them though. Some open 24 hours on certain days. Please check their business hours before heading over to your respective Norms location. Happy Eating at Where Life Happens!

    ​After church it felt like everyone in Ontario had the same idea. Everywhere was absolutely packed! We finally landed at Norms and honestly, a 20-minute wait felt like a total win compared to the hour-long lines elsewhere. ​Here is the lowdown on our "Plan B" brunch. ​The BLT with Avocado I ordered and tried to be a "good girl" and requested wheat bread to stay on the healthier side... big mistake! The bread was so hard it was actually a struggle to bite into. Sadly, I couldn't really enjoy my sandwich. Stick to the sourdough ladies! ​The enchilada Omelet my daughter went for this and it was such a unique twist. A little different but surprisingly tasty! ​The "Sneak Attack" I may or may not have stolen an onion ring from my son-in-law... It was perfectly crunchy, not oily at all, and that ranch dressing, Divine. ​Norms is a classic for a reason! Even with my "rock-hard" bread mishap the atmosphere was lively and the service was steady for a busy Sunday. Next time I'm skipping the health kick and going straight for those onion rings!

    he was awesome, hard working guy. running so many tables by himself

    Marina was our server--she provided fast, attentive service. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. My husband and I really enjoyed our experience.

    A newly opened location. Excellent service. Very spacious and good venue for special events ! Offers A variety of dishes in their menu which i like to try another day. Granddaughter loved the blueberry pancakes !!! The carnitas omelette was seasoned well and delicious!!!

    Marina was our server and we got seated promptly in a booth! We ordered the country fried steak and eggs with cinnamon caramel apple pancakes and the steak and eggs with chocolate chip pancakes! The food was extremely yummy and our server was always checking in and made sure everything came out good!!

    The service is always excellent, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a perfect and relaxing spot for brunch. They've done a great job keeping the place clean and well-maintained. The food is consistently outstanding, and the coffee is always fresh. Everything is cooked thoroughly with the right balance of flavors, and there are always new selections available to try.

    Absolutely delicious chicken fries steak. Plus bountiful portions and the over-medium eggs were done perfectly. I opted for the pancakes instead of toast and they brought me two huge fluff pancakes. I heartily recommend this restaurant. Great service, too.

The restaurant and food are definitely giving Hawaii vibes. This is the type of restaurant where you order and pay before they seat you. It took a while to order, but once we were seated our food came out right away. You will more than likely wait in line, but it's worth the wait. They have a lot of staff members that continually check on you at your table. The food is delicious! We both had the loco moco, one with fried rice and one with steamed rice. The fried rice is top tier! We both ordered a side of spam and the Portuguese sausage. Every single thing on our plates was finger licking good, but my favorite thing was my Ube iced coffee. It was delicious and not too sweet which is a huge plus for me. The only downside is that now I want to plan a trip to Hawaii. Lol I highly recommend you go eat at Scramblers Cafe.

Came in a little after happy hour on Thursday night and this place was popping!! Super busy, super packed, super loud. Didnt help that there was a group of ghetto, ovnoxiously loud people behind us, but they left eventually. Our waiter was Jose. Super cool guy. We were seated quickly. Able to order our food fast. And I was surprised with how quick the food and drinks came out. Had plenty of time to eat, enjoy and pay before our movie started. For food we just ordered appetizers and tacos, including the following: 1. Chicken tinga taquitos- they were good. We'll seasoned. About 3 taquitos. Loved all the toppings on it. Good amiuny of meat in each taquito. 2. Aquachiles verdes- this one was deceptionally spicy. The heat definitely creeps up on you. Cucumbers provide a brief reprieve but it was spicy still though. Good amount of shrimp in it. The small tostadas served as a nice vessel. 3. Chicarron taco- 1 taco per order. It was really loaded. Definitely required the 2 taco tortillas to prevent it from ripping. Good flavors. Wish there was some crunch to the chicharrone, but there wasent. They have plenty of drinks to choose from ad well. We ordered: 1. El jefe- this was a good drink. Very smooth. Yea you can taste the alcohol but it was very pleasant 2. La mesera- this one was good also. I thought it was going to be spicy because of the black pepper. But it was very refreshing. Cucumbers made it nice and light. 3. Lindo Amanecer- a sweeter drink. It was sweet and refreshing. In general everything tasted good. The drinks were amazing. Definitely a good vibe minus noisy patrons. Love the music playing in the background. Great customer service!!

It's so crispy and the French Toast which is also made from the brioche. The bakery is right next to door and the reason their bread is so fresh and delicious. On nice days, they'll have a couple tables outside but the seating is primarily inside. I'll definitely order the kimchi fried rice next time.
