    Fisherman's platter
    Tosha L.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!!

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

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

    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.

Air conditioning was blasting inside this establishment so please bring a jacket - Ample seating indoors and outdoors FOOD ORDERED: BERRY GOOD CLOUD PANCAKE -$20 Take Ur Seat Breakfast Sandwich - $16 BELLY 2 BELLY RICE - $18 Ube Basque Cheesecake - $9.50 Cortado coffee - $4.50 TOTAL: $74.00 ish (for 5 items) FOOD RATINGS: BERRY GOOD CLOUD PANCAKE: 7.75/10; I've had thicker Soufflé pancakes, but these were still very light and airy. The combination of the Berry compote, whipped cream, and fresh berries was absolutely delicious and will get you full. I don't recommend getting a dessert if you plan on getting this! BELLY 2 BELLY: 8/10 The texture of the Roasted Pork Belly was a great balance of soft and crunchy, and it was also flavorful. I wish there was one more poached egg for this dish because ours was slightly more cooked and not as runny. I would have like to mix my yolk with my dish. TAKE UR SEAT BREAKFAST SANDWHICH: 7.5/10; I was initially hesitant to get this dish because I don't like spice, however, the spicy Mayo was the perfect amount of spice for me. It was very filling. All of the other ingredients speak for themselves. OVERALL, - Great brunch spot with various fusions from Singaporean, Spanish, Filipino, and American influences - 4/5 items we purchased were at least a 7.5/10 - Don't purchase any other desserts if you get the berry cloud pancakes otherwise you'll experience sweetness overload - Will be coming here again!

Our waitress completely ignored us for the duration of our meal. Not once did she check on our table, ask if we needed anything, offer refills, or make any effort whatsoever to provide even the most basic level of service. What made it even more insulting was watching her repeatedly check on every other table around us while walking past us over and over again. We were seated right by the entrance, so there is no chance she somehow forgot we were there. After finishing our meal, we sat waiting for an unreasonable amount of time while continuing to be ignored. Eventually, we had to get up and ask for our check ourselves because apparently that was too much to expect. At that point, it was obvious that nobody working there cared whether we had a good experience or not. I've worked in customer service and understand that places get busy, but this wasn't a matter of being busy, it was a matter of not caring. We were treated as if we didn't exist. If this is the standard of service this restaurant accepts, there are plenty of other places that deserve your money far more than this one. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this place to anyone expecting even the bare minimum level of customer service. Tacos were good, ill give them that.
