Our neighborhood Norms.
Thina C.

Met up with a buddy at our neighborhood Norms off Lakewood & Rose. Norms, founded in 1949, is 76 years old? and open 24/7. I like the calm, retro diner vibe, serving classic American comfort food--lots of families and elderly folks. I ordered the *Cali-Cado Benny*, an Eggs Benedict w/ toasted English muffins, poached eggs, hollandaise, bacon, avocado, grilled tomatoes, and green onions. It was lightly sweetened, rich, velvety, and smooth. It was good, but my hash browns were bland; I ate them anyway since my friend was treating me LOL. Service was wonderful, gratitude to Reuben. He was constantly checking on us.

It's growing still

Great food and service. As old and long years of going to a Norms restaurant is good morning and evening to sit and eat a meal.

Norm's is just your average breakfast place like IHOP in Denny's. They're all pretty much the same just different seasonings and somewhat of a different menu. I placed the order for pick up so I didn't have breakfast here, but it looked pretty packed. My order was fast and easy I pulled up. It was ready. I got it and I left to my daughter's house and had breakfast at her house.

My family and I decided to come on Xmas eve. It's was obviously packed but not to bad. Service was good. They we're fast and the portions we're big but can't say the food is to die for. Honestly it was basic and can't expect much. Overall it's a ok spot when you want to feed your family.

Everything was just great-- Great service by Damien, big shoutout to him for helping me decide on what dish to choose from. Great food! The clubhouse sandwich was just right & light! Definitely a good location to visit that provides quality service & food! (:

Even on a full lunch rush hour the service was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was good and juicy (evident from husband's remaining plate). Very busy during lunch on Monday but that's expected. The generic radio music is a nice touch of Americana to the decor that stays cozy and warm-hued, adding to the coziness. Our server was Kiwi and she was a real sweetheart that looked after us very thoroughly

Susie was amazing, love her. Food was really good on a busy day. The pancakes were soft and sweet and the skillet was fresh

Best waitress I have ever had. Very nice & quick! Amazing service, will definitely go back and ask for her (Susie)

Lakeview Norms, every table was occupied at 10:30  am on Thurs Aug 21, 2025.

Today I am eating at Norms for the third day day a row. Last two days I ate at the Lomita PCH location because I was attending Apartment Owners Association Convention at Long Beach Convention Center. This Lakewood and 91 Norms is super swamped at 10:30 am Thurs Aug 21. Every booth and table and counter has people in it stuffing themselves with pancakes and fries. Here is where Americans work on living up to their worldwide obese reputation. Today my friend Jessica is treating. I met Jessica at last year's Apartment Owners Association Convention at Long Beach Convention Center 2024. I ordered unusual Eggs Benedict menu creation Eggs Benedicto. $15.29. 2 crispy sope shells, chorizo, mixed cheese, 2 poached eggs topped with salsa verde, hollandaise, green onion and cilantro with pico de gallo. It took 45 min before I got my food served to me but my poached eggs were hard, when I asked for extra soft. So made them make me soft poached eggs, but that took another 20 min. Second time was perfect. My friend Jessica ordered the trout for $9.99. The trout was a bit fishy. The fillet was both sides of the trout and covered the entire plate, so fries and vegetable have to be piled on top of the fillets. In other words, Norms gives you the entire fish. I probably wouldn't order the trout in the future, due to fishiness. There are so many menu choices to pick from. The drink in the photo was ice coffee with salted caramel sauce. $4.39 My experience suffered from staff with too much to do on their hands, to get good service. Not their fault. They deserve a beefy tip for running around doing their best and management needs to hire more servers and cooks.

I been coming here for over 30 years. The food and Service fluctuates like a roller coaster. Some years are bad and some years are good. This visit I had was on Sunday 02.16.2025, right after church. I was greeted and Ordered a country style steak and a 1lb porter house steak. All came within 15 mins on a busy day. The porter house steak was delicious!! From the bread to the coffee, all tasted great. I will definitely come back again. Their customer service was excellent. Large portion size is back. Could not find anything negative about my visit. Plenty of parking in the back and across the street. A++ on my visit as current Status feedback.

Revisit? Definitely. Great for weekend breakfast…read more Sunrise Cafe never disappoints. It's just what a casual diner should be: delicious, generous with the portions, and efficient. I usually order the Popeye Omelet with home fries and toast. Everything is seasoned well and the ingredients taste fresh. Other things I've tried include the Chilaquiles, French Dip, Kids Scrambled Egg Breakfast with French Toast, and Posole. Everything is classic and reliably good. You'll think, wow, I'll probably need a box to-go, but somehow you'll eat it all in one sitting! Sometimes you have to write your name down at the check-in stand out front in order to get a table. But I've never had to wait too long. The servers really pay attention to anything you might need without rushing you or asking lots of questions. So I think that's how they keep the wait time short. The vibes here are just 10/10 for a family breakfast. Our toddler likes watching the model train that circles the upper windows of the restaurant. It's busy so there's lots of pleasant background noise. You can watch the traffic go by on Lakewood Blvd. Prices aren't too steep. I've ordered takeout and delivery from here as well and never had any complaints. Parking can be hard to find in the lot right next to the restaurant but can usually be found right away in the back lot. Overall, just a nice neighborhood spot to eat.

Parking is a struggle with only a small lot available - 2/10…read more The outside appearance feels a bit outdated, giving off a local dive bar vibe - 6/10. Inside, the place is clean but definitely could use some updates - 6/10. Staff were very nice and friendly, though I wish coffee refills were automatic - 7/10. The food reminds me of home cooking. I really enjoyed their Mexican dishes but preferred the breakfast menu overall. The hobo omelet and breakfast potatoes had great flavor. However, the biscuits and gravy were disappointing, tasting like store-bought biscuits and canned gravy--probably from Costco or Sam's Club. Coffee was very good, but I wish someone would walk around constantly refilling cups. Overall, a decent spot with some room for improvement.

Another wonder breakfast at Heritage - food and service! The staff is so friendly and helpful…read more Very hard workers especially when it gets busy! Today we had Chiva, she was great! We time our breakfast just right on a Sunday AM. Easy to park and plenty of open tables! Shortly there after the place was almost full and we coukd sell our parking spot! We ordered our usual meals. I love the waffle combo. Pergect amount of food. One waffle is plenty and I love their waffles especially with the warm syrup! It cones with two eggs and protein, I love their sausage! My husband gets his usual (the same anywhere he goes), Eggs, hash browns, and bacon but instead of toast he gets biscuits with gravy! The inhouse make their baked goodies, biscuits, muffins, pies, etc. As a home baker I can appreciate their wonderful baked goodies! Everything was great! We ordered a slice of peach pie to go for later! We love their pies, especially their peach! Pie and ice cream for an afternoon snack!

Old school diner, attentive host station, easy to get seated on a busy Sunday mid morning. Sat at…read morethe counter, our server was miss popular, quick and friendly! I got the 2 egg over easy , sausage patties and the best hash browns. Side of raisin toast they they bake, big cut, very tasty. Wife got the eggs sunny, bacon and pancakes on the side. Pancakes fluffy and tasty. All that for $45 out the door, nice tip included for excellent service. Unassuming, this local family place is outstanding!
