    Maple bacon pancakes!
    Tony J.

    Alma is the new manager, and wow, there's been significant positive changes to this Norms location! Our waitress Jacqueline, is very attentive toward each table. There were a few hiccups, but overall a pleasant meal. Would like to note that there were stains or dried food on my silverware. (See Pic) In addition, when the other customers, in the booth next to us got up, we noticed an unpleasant odor. Yay, the food finally arrives and it looks delicious ! Friend says the food is tasting wicked good. (See Vid.) Best Part: Only 14 dollars and 99 cents baby back ribs, half rack of tender meat. The meal went beyond my expectations, quite good surprisingly ! (and it passed my how does it taste the next day reheated test too) Would also like to mention that they make very good sauces themselves too. - As well as the dressings for the salad. In conclusion, definitely gonna come back, Norms is especially great when you're on a budget! Considering going back and getting these meals to go !

    HALF RACK & SHRIMP HALF RACK & WINGS

    This restaurant was clean. It is a great place of nostalgia for me. Classic American food options some things were bland was I could not give 5 stars. The prices are unbeatable and the portions are generous. You will need some salt and pepper nearby but food is worth it! The waiter was friendly and accommodating.

    So reality vs what is advertised is very different.

    Had a great meal here at norms. Jenny was fantastic at helping us suggest some things that other family members wanted to go. All in all Norms is always good for some pancakes when your craving them later in the day.

    Located on E. Katella Ave near N. Tustin St. with plenty of parking. We stopped here on Saturday afternoon for a late breakfast. We were seated immediately by a friendly hostess. I had their 'Lumberjack Breakfast', which consists of 3 eggs, 3 bacon strips, 3 sausage links, hashbrowns, and 3 pancakes. I topped my pancakes with strawberries. Food tasted delicious and fresh. The service was great. Shout out to our server, Marco who was extremely attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean and organized during our visit. Overall, we had a great experience at this location and will definitely return.

    Went here for the nostalgia of going with friends late at night ordering breakfast for dinner. Ah, the memories! Old school diner vibes, this restaurant kept up on the cleanliness too. THE FOOD. - Sirloin Steak & Eggs | Notably, the sirloin steak was juicy and flavorful; much more than expected. Hashbrowns were crisp and buttery and the over easy eggs were cooked right. Recommend trying this dish out. - Pancakes | Fluffy and buttery. THE DRINK. - Iced Tea | Your standard, run of the mill iced tea. Nothing fancy. THE PARKING. Free parking available, no issues finding an open spot. COMING BACK? Yes! I loved the dish I got and would go back for that exact thing. Oh, and the staff was prompt with getting all our food out so we didn't have to sit there being hangry.

    We came to Norms after a long day at Disneyland and were sat immediately. We were lucky enough to be placed in Marcos's section, and he truly made our visit exceptional. His service was beyond wonderful--warm, attentive, and genuine from start to finish. He checked on us at the perfect times without ever feeling intrusive, and his recommendations were spot on. You could tell he really knows the menu and takes pride in making sure his guests have a great experience. Marcos had such a friendly, welcoming energy that made us feel right at home. Even though we used to live in Orange and have since moved away, he made our visit feel like we never left. Coming back for the night and returning to our favorite restaurant was nostalgic, and Norms was exactly how we remembered it--awesome! Thank you so much, Marcos, for going above and beyond. You were truly wonderful, and we will definitely be back!

    One of my favorite places has mad a turn for the worst! Food was disgusting pancakes tasted completely gross. Waffle had chemical taste to it and was undercooked. My eggs were burned and onions and other weird things in it when I just ordered eggs. Extremely hot in here and uncomfortable. I don't think I'll be coming back to spend my money here! Come in on the 10/11/25 at 2:53

    Thanks Nicole

    The Atole Salmón was delicious and came with rice and vegetables. The steak and eggs were A delight. Nicole is a wonderful server who takes the time to care about her customers and has outstanding communication skills. The ambiance was clean and friendly and the facilites were clean as well as the restaurant as well.

    Came in on a Friday night around 10PM. It was busy inside. Restroom was clean, booth was clean, and the floors were clean. Service from the waitress was quick and she was on top of the refills. All of the food came out quick and just how we asked for it. I'm happy to see this place has improved and will return.

    Hands down, the best brunch place I have ever been to! We were seated very quickly in about 10…read moreminutes around 11am despite the rush. The service was excellent, and all the servers were very attentive. Seated in the patio area, it was a very nice and airy open space with umbrellas shielding us from the sun. We ordered the Dubai Pancake, Chimichurri Steak and Eggs, Nutella French Toast, and the Strawberry Belgium Waffle. I was not able to take a picture of the Steak and Eggs because we devoured it so quickly! The steak was flavorful and cooked to our preference. We all loved the Dubai Pancakes, as they were fluffy and had a nice balance of sweetness and texture with the crushed pistachio nuts. We'll definitely be going back again!

    Came in to the filling station with my girlfriend and her meetup group for father's day breakfast…read more We arrived early knowing that we were expecting a group of 10 and seating is first come first served. We arrived at 8:30 for a planned 9AM breakfast. The hostess took our name and party size and then requested that we let her know when everyone arrived. She estimated 40 to 45 minutes. We were called a few minutes before 9 and seated. Great start Everyone ordered drinks and then the server came back and took meal orders. I went with my regular breakfast meal, French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. My girlfriend chose a spin on eggs Benedict with beef. Food came out quickly and was served hot. Everything tasted good and fresh for me. I especially enjoyed their bacon, cooked perfectly to my liking and fantastic flavor. Bonus that they served me 3 pieces. The server was especially helpful by allowing us to come to the register when it was time to pay and after telling her our orders she was able to charge us each individually which is always very helpful with a large group. Parking is challenging, they do have a small lot behind the restaurant but even with a compact car the spaces were tight. There is some street parking if you luck out and find a space. There are also municipal lots around downtown orange and the traffic circle which offer additional spaces. We will definitely return. Loved the kitschy decor and old gas station feel.

Staff were friendly. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere pleasant. On my way to wash my hands, I got a glimpse into the kitchen. It looked clean and hopping with activity. The restroom was clean but looked like it needed updating. I ordered two scrambled eggs and two biscuits with gravy à la carte. The biscuits had an odd chewy texture. The gravy was just ok. I later confirmed with the waiter that they used frozen biscuits which may explain why they are chewy instead of light and fluffy. The eggs were good. Nice and scrambled. My wife got a Denver omelette with breakfast potatoes. She liked everything about her meal. My wife had coffee with her breakfast. At $4 a cup you would expect something special. It was average at best. We had to waive down a waiter to get a refill. As we were leaving, I noticed a sign outside stating that they have breakfast specials starting at $9.95 on Monday thru Friday until 11 am. I guess they need to give you a menu to get their specials. Our server did not share the specials with us. Service was a bit slow which was surprising since they were not that busy.

Both exterior and interior look like a 1930s train station. We sat in a booth and enjoyed great food and quintessential service. I ordered the Irish French Toast. This was in the top tier of French Toasts I've ever had. The thick, battered Texas Toast had a delicate interior with a bit of powdered sugar on top. The two large pieces were surrounded by banana slices. The syrup was a house-made Jameson Irish Whiskey Sauce. Incredible. I was in breakfast nirvana from the first bite. This dish came with a side of eggs and choice of meat (I went with scrambled eggs and bacon), both of which were excellent tho nothing fancy. I also swiped a beignet from my dining companion's plate.
