A BELOVED TRADITION! Every time I'm passing by the Claremont Norms it's an automatic pitstop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The 24/7 favorite always has good vibes, day or night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stopped by for some red chilaquiles with steak and black beans. I also ordered a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. I didn't eat breakfast so I was HUNGRY. Service was exceptionally quick and our waitress Estefania was very helpful. Our drinks were refilled consistently, my hazelnut cold brew was the perfect drink for a late brunch. The menu is always evolving! Yes, they have the diner classics and consistent items. However, Norms is never scared to try new limited time options. Currently, they have Korean options, including Korean-fusion breakfast items. If you're Mexican or Korean, you will not go hungry here. Love the diverse menu, they even have boba at all Norms locations! No bad notes, even our host was super friendly! I'd highly recommend stopping by, the portions are bigger than what you'd get at Denny's.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

Endenail (not sure if I'm spelling his name correctly) was very sweet as well. He was actually the bus boy but he observed that no one had made it to our table yet to get the basics. So he brought my hubby his drink. Fatima was fantastic. She came to us promptly after finishing the order of another table. I wasn't in the mood for anything but she was looking after me and asked if we needed an extra plate to share the meal my husband was getting. So sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and well organized location with plenty of parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My hubby went with the buffalo chicken salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was perfect. Very spacious seating. Many spots but we didnt feel as if we're sitting so close to other customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that the booths in the center of the dining room had colored themed glass running in between so that it gives you a little privacy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the fact that there was more than one area with a register.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Really great selection for breakfast. So many choices its difficult to choose. I went with the Big Breakfast and it was just like at home when i was a kid! Fluffy pancakes, tasty sausage and bacon with fresh fruit. Service was amazingly fast and my friendly server brought me warm milk with my coffee to make a Cafe con Leche! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean seating and this is a popular location based on people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Lissa L.

Great value for delicious food and top notch service, every time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We come here once a month to catch up as a family and we always have a blast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Paul, Keren and Carlos are stellar whenever they wait on us. They spoil us and make us feel at home each time.

The breakfast was tasty but not at the level of previous years. Coffee is terrible!! Like colored water! Waitress was nice but kept offering the coffee and made no effort to improve it. Overall service was subpar and I will not waste the time, effort, or fuel to return in the future. So sad ! My namesake restaurant has gone south. Was one of my favorite restaurants and the coffee was excellent! Not recommended. Now I'm off to anywhere to get a morning coffee

We did have one glitch with our order that needed to be addressed, and the manner the staff addressed it only made me happier with the experience. Very gracious and approachable when we discussed with them, and resolved fully to our satisfaction. I only wish I could remember the name of our server and manager to properly thank them for their professionalism. If we are back in the area, I will very happily return and eat here again without hesitation.

Our server was really accomodating, tbh, everyone was like that in here from the person who greeted us to the server. Food was amazing. Simple, yet different. On apoetizers, we had brussel sprouts which was cooked differently m, flavorful and portions were just enough. Lettuce wraps did not disappoint, we asked for additional lettuce. We also had their nachos (?), i thought it was but its mostly potatoes with toppings... so full of flavor. We each had different main courses, mostly burgers so we can try it. I was in burger heaven! We had some dessert to share, i did not remember the names of it but it was dense & rich. They also serve mimosa flight and beer flights which my friends really loved, lol. Parking is such a breeze here. There is a parking building every block plus street parking & its free. That alone is a gift. They are pet friendly too.

Went to this cute little place today in Claremont because we were specifically looking for a…read morewoodfired pizza. They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

We decided to try brunch on a Saturday morning. Long story short,…read more I ordered the steak and eggs breakfast. At $38ish, I expected a great meal. It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

I was meeting up with some girlfriends for a late lunch which it also happened to be during happy hours from 3-5pm. Both menus, regular or HH are available if you wanted the full options. It's in the downtown location of Claremont, a cute and quaint area which I've never been to. Street parking is available with 2 hours which we found out later that there's a parking lot behind the restaurant. Which shares with the surrounding businesses. When we arrived, the hostess seated us at one of the long booth along the side right opposite to the bar. Restaurant itself isn't that big compared to the other locations I've visited. It's pretty small and seemed a little compacted. You have the big booth to one side, hi top tables right across from it and then the bar counter. Also tables along the sides and front. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but did picked up a lot during the visit. Everyone was coming for happy hour. HH menu consisted of appetizers starting at 7.00, 8.00, 9.00 and a combo which is a burger and drink or beer for 16.00. Also drinks specials starting at 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, and 9.00 based on what you want. From draft beer to house wine to cocktails. There was a good selection on HH drinks. Food, a pretty decent selection in each of the tier. We started off with a couple of dishes to share before the main. The pretzels which come with three dipping sauce, quite nice and came pipping hot. The deviled eggs, came 5 to order with a chunk of bacon. I haven't had them in a while and they were quite tasty. Easy bite size eats. Think their know for their coconut shrimp which was nice. 6 nice big pieces of shrimp deep fried to a nice golden brown and accompanied by the dipping sauce. Highly recommend it. Of course the mozzarella sticks, plain and simple but nice. 6 pieces and served with ranch and marinara sauce. The spicy tuna with crispy rice. This could be a hit or miss on how it was prepared but it was quite tasty and nice. 5 piece I believe and the rice had a nice crunch but still soft inside. I like it that way versus it being overcooked and crunchy. Lastly the pepperoni pizza. It was quite big and they also offered a hot honey drizzle if you would like it added. It could be a full meal with the size. Loads of pepperoni slices on-top of the thin crust. Starters were great, m entrees ordered but we were getting fuller already. A couple of the protein bowl, Asian ahi salad with mixed greens and the poke bowl. They were all pretty nice and weren't too heavy after the sides. Ahi salad had nice pieces for fish with, mandarin, carrots, peppers, onion, tofu, peas sprouts, cucumber with a ginger miso vinaigrette. It was quite delicious. A nice summer salad that's an easy eat. Of course the poke bowl, simple but delicious as well. Rice, avocado, cucumber, picked onions, edamame, furikake and spicy aioli. And the Mediterranean protein bowl, one with chicken added. Couscous, feta, cucumber, garbanzo, tzatziki, tomatoes and pickle onions. All were fresh and delicious and perfect for a nice summer meal. HH drinks, there was selection of items ordered. The old fashion, a raspberry splash and a couple of other items. Everything was nice and our server was a doll. Very sweet and friendly, didn't remember his name. Everyone that came out with food was sweet when delivering. All very friendly. The service was great and we had a nice meal. Nice location, small but great.

We came on a weekend and it was super busy (as it should be honestly with how amazing the food and service are). We got the blackened salmon with penne pasta and baby potatoes, and the flat iron steak with bow tie pasta and herb brown rice. The steak was cooked perfectly medium. The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything. Needless to say, this place was really good from head to toe. I also got to meet the owner and he was super friendly too. I seriously wish they would open one closer to my area.

I ordered blackened salmon with couscous as I saw the reviews that salmon is really good and garlic apple aioli to pair with. we find our own seats inside as it's hot outside, and waited for our food. as it turns out the salmon is pretty good, it's on the thin side but not too dry. lots of couscous that I couldn't finish the plate. garlic apple aioli pairs well with the dish too. my friend and her 12yo son ordered blackened tofu-+salad, and grilled shrimps+penne pasta. the tofu doesn't look very appetizing, and the salad is normal bowl size, not too big, compared to couscous and the pasta sides. the grilled shrimps comes on 1 screwer but looks pretty good as well. price is not too expensive, considering the inflation now. they do have a bar but we only got water. overall it's a relaxing place to catchup with friends, if you don't mind the music is on the louder side.

We were fine with it, and were given two menus and told to sit anywhere we wanted. After 15 minutes, no servers had come out to take drink orders or anything, so my boyfriend went inside to ask if someone could come take our order. I looked around the patio area and realized there were two other tables whose patrons were there before us, waiting for drinks and service, just like we were. One of them was fanning herself with the menu, as it was close to 100° outside. (There are no misters on the patio, just a slight breeze now and then. And, if you sit near the patio entrance, you should know that the huge dryer vents from the adjacent hotel are pushing hot air into the patio.) My boyfriend came back and said that he was told "someone will be out soon", and he noticed that all the servers were watching the soccer game inside. We waited another minute or so, and decided to leave and find another place for lunch. We were so glad we left...we ended up at Gus's BBQ across the way, and OMG...save yourself the trouble of the weak menu & non-existent service at The Back Abbey and walk over to Gus's. You won't regret it!

Our daughter had the BBQ Chicken Kids Meal, and of course we couldn't leave without ordering the Cast Iron Cornbread. Everything was delicious, but a few items really stood out. The jalapeño jam served with the cornbread was absolute perfection, sweet with just the right amount of heat. The Jalapeño Cheddar Smoked Sausage was easily one of my favorites. The Southern Fried Chicken was incredibly crispy, and both my toddler and I couldn't get enough of the mac and cheese. Gus's offers great value for the quality of food you get. The portions are generous and we had no complaints when it came to flavor. Parking is easy thanks to the nearby parking structure. Most of the seating is on the patio, while the indoor dining room seemed fairly small. Even on a warm Father's Day evening, the outdoor seating was surprisingly comfortable. We'll definitely be back, and next time I'll be ordering that cornbread all over again.
