We came to Norms Restaurant on Friday night for a quick dinner, and we had such an amazing experience! Our server, Abner, truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. Not only did he provide excellent service, but he also made great conversation and made us feel so welcomed. My husband and I were honestly blown away. We already come here often because we love the food and the coffee, but Abner made this visit extra special. He definitely knows what great service looks like! Thank you, Abner, for such a wonderful experience -- we will absolutely be back just to be served by you again. This guy deserves a raise!

Pros - Fun retro throwback vibe...never has orange looked so cool. Free parking. Generous portions, with salad and soup and your entree. It's a lot of food. As for the food 3/5...well uh...overall OK. Veggies were two kinds of zucchini (yellow and Italian) and one ling slice if red pepper...but they were mushy and overcooked. Tasted good, but all the nutrients cooked out. The meatloaf was smothered in gravy, which looked appetizing, but it ate salty (I know salty is subjective, as my companion thought the salt level was fine)...but the two slices were burned on one side, and looked like a jigsaw puzzle...but I enjoyed it even though the sauce was covering up a collage of meatloaf. 2/5. The salad was good...clean cold and the dressing (mine Bleu cheese, and hers was 1000 island) this was a solid basic salad 5/5. Her entree was steak, she asked for medium...it cane well done. It was tender though and had grill marks...4/5. The kitchen needs to bone up on the cook for medium versus well done. Our meal came with soup ( I got split pea, she got the gumbo) ....both were large bowls so impressive but both also cane to table cold. The split pea was goopy thick...tasted like split pea tho. The gumbo (potato and sausage in a tomato base) got packed up, so don't know if she liked it as a leftover. The food is average, filling due to generous portions...and all the courses ( salad, soup, entree). Service was efficient but no checkins for refills of water or soda. The check arrived without having to ask, and it was nice to be given permission to take our time and not rush...you pay at the front. It's crowded for breakfast and lunch on a Saturday but it cleared out at 2 pm, so we took our servers advice and had a nice leisurely three hour lunch. The guy who bussed our table was nice and got rid of our pile of used dishes at least twice without having to be asked so we could enjoy a cleaner table. read more

I had the spicy turkey melt with onion rings and I was totally loving it. The bread was nice and crispy from the grill. The turkey, was okay. Not the biggest turkey fan anyway. But was so tasty was the melted gooey cheese and that chili they put in it. I think it was a roasted anaheim pepper. Oh man, I loved it. It did have a little heat which was great. The onion rings were fresh and crispy and they have good dipping ranch. This one is a keeper! read more

After leaving the El Monte restaurant, I still wanted breakfast so I went where I knew that I would be treated cordially. Pico Rivera norms is a very friendly and attentive restaurant. My Mom and I were seated right away and within minutes, Sandy came by and said good morning while taking care of another table something that the El Monte restaurant couldn't do. She brought us our coffee took our order and within 15 minutes, we were enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Her area was relatively busy so to provide us with that kind of service was outstanding. Thank you read more

Atmosphere = 7 Customer service = 9 Plating = 8 Menu = 8 Price to product = 7 Nice to be back to one of my favorites read more

We came in last night around 7pm for dinner and was in the neighborhood. It was not crowded at all and was able to get a booth. I ordered for the first time the Sampler Platter which was very good and loved the items selected for the meal. There was tenders, shrimp,onion rings and mozzarella sticks. Our server was Esteban and he was nice, friendly and provided good service. It was nice inside, did not have to raise your voice when speaking. They have made some nice changes to their food selection on the menu and looking forward to trying other things. read more

My boyfriend and I hold this location in a special place in our hearts as we have frequented this restaurant for many years as a late night date spot. They have cozy diner vibes and is great to have conversations at. I always get a coffee, whether iced or hot, and recently have been enjoying their chicken caesar salad. My boyfriend fluctuates, but we haven't had any complaints on the menu. We like to see the seasonal items they bring out as well. Abner has been our server for our last couple visits and he has consistently been fantastic! He's very friendly and attentive. read more

This Norms isn't the closets one to our house but it was said to provide a larger portion and better service by my family who frequented here earlier in the week. If we do come here we try to make it worth our time and explore after dinner to the nearby plazas with Burlington, Ross, and other stores. We came on a Friday night and usually Norms is packed but this time it was just busy inside and no wait. You need all of your party present to get a table which is why we did wait for others given the distance from our home city. We were a party of 6, unfortunately 2 didn't come due to traffic, and seated in the back booths near restrooms (gendered and had multiple stalls, 2 only available in the women one). We were able to fit comfortably at the booth seating but if we had the other two come in not sure if we'll fit! Two staff members helped serve our table, one only handled our drinks and the other took our order and served us for the rest of the time. I'm glad Norms offer summer specials, I do enjoy their usual menu but it's always nice to try something new. Baby back ribs are back and so are other bbq specialty dishes. We ordered: Appetizer: chefs Sampler plate, the best was chicken tenders and their creamy mustard dip(?), the onion rings were crispy, mozzarella sticks were hot and stretched(!), and crispy shrimp was great with the cocktail sauce. Main: I ordered the half rack baby back ribs trio: -Ribs in Kansas City sauce: so good but - bit too saucy -Burnt ends: were a bit too burnt and tough -Dry rub wings: crispy and amazing, should've just got this as a dish itself -Fries: mine weren't r crispy but others were so I was a little sad about that -Coleslaw: pretty good, a bit wet but still coleslaw -And jalapeño corn bread (3) to share: Corn bread was ok, a bit mushy and not spicy at all, butter didn't taste like butter?? It tasted like unflavored unsalted oil? -Clam chowder: broth like soup with bits of potato and a few seafood bits, not creamy and you can see the fat on top, it was good but I don't remember having their clam chowder prepared like this? Potatoes were a bit mushy but the broth was good. Came with crackers (two in a pack to be exact) I also got to try others dish such as: -Korean back ribs (actually a bit spicy for me) -T-bone steak (rare) kind of not that good and looked really pale -The club sandwich (bacon was tough and hard to chew) We had some miscommunication in the beginning since we usually can order apps while getting our drinks and ask for plates to share the apps, but took us a few tries to get those in. Also since they were busy asking for refills was a bit tough but eventually we got it. Overall it wasn't a bad dinner, I wouldn't say it was that bad to be a 3 star but it was a solid high 3 star. read more

I mean... This location is by far way better than the El Monte location plus they open 24hrs!!! We got here Sunday just before the Sunday church rush so we're seated right away. Best seat in the house is where you can see the kitchen! It was so entertaining to watch how efficient staff was working! Too bad someone burnt the toast, the place was very smokey after. I've confirmed I don't really like the pork or steak options at Norms. Something about how they tenderize it leaves and off putting flavor in my mouth. Eggs, bacon, and chicken are the safest yummy options IMO. HOWEVER!! tried the chicken strip plate today to take advantage of the 5 options for $9.99/ea deal. These were not what I expected for chicken strips... They should be called large chicken nuggets. These are proceeded frozen chicken nuggets... Not real chicken. They were tasty but I was expecting real chicken, you know... Like raising cane's chicken... The veggie side today was super soft lightly seasoned boiled baby carrots. I couldn't eat these... Fries were great. Cajun Chicken Sandwich with onion rings is the tried and true here!! This will always be ordered whenever we go lol. Real chicken, yummy parie bread, fresh veggies, bacon, and lots of great flavors! Diner coffee is a must for me, coffee always hits here just wish they had stevia. I can understand the cuts in food quality. This is the only way they can offer affordable food in big portions! read more

We came here on a Friday night. My uncle and aunt shared their sandwich which they really liked and we each got clam chowder. It's not New England clam chowder but it was still good. I got the porterhouse steak and eggs. It was okay. My sister got the BBQ platter which was really good and I regret not getting that instead. The appetizer platter was so good we finished it. The only thing that was disappointing is the jalapeño cornbread. Service was also really good! read more

We got here and were told to sit at a table that was not clean though being sitting for more than 40min, looking at the chef through the view area (doing anything but cooking) no food had been going out for about half if an hour but only during that time, i dont blame the chef nether the waitress but food was being placed on the rack for that food to be given to customers also talking to other staff and not serving people. Despite the food being a bit cold i would give it a 7/10 read more

First of all my potato was hard and I wasn't able to eat it. That happened to me and my mom. Then my mom husband egg he asked for the yolk to be on top so it can break easily but instead they mixed the egg with the yolk. Then on the images it showed like broccoli and zucchini then the lady said sorry we only have carrots. Then I asked for medium on my steak then they gave me that shit well done. I THOUGHT THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT BUT NO Marisol wanted to argue about us instead of just replacing it. Then to top it off even more when they gave us the check it said $89 something with tax included and we go to pay at the register and it's was like $110. Marisol needs to get FIRED bad service from her if you get her as your waitress honestly just leave the place and go to a different location or place. read more

The service at Norms was slow, inattentive, and made it feel like customers were an inconvenience. No check-ins, no urgency, and zero effort to fix anything. The final straw was finding a bug in my salad. That alone says enough. When it was brought to the staff's attention, the response was underwhelming and dismissive, with no real concern shown. Overall, poor service and a meal that raised serious hygiene questions. I won't be returning. read more

Hubs and I have been passing by norms for years on the way home from every time we explore another food spots... He's a huge American breakfast and steak fan so he really wanted to try it... but for some reasons, we never get to, until today! It was Memorial Day holiday and it was packed but may I say the wait time was not bad (15-20mins) and the service was impeccable, and staff was friendly! Hubs: "My steak was full of flavor, juicy, tender and cooked as requested medium rare" We had a great time and worth the try today! THE EATS: Country Fried Steak - 9/10 (The hash brown could be better - Twas a bit toasty) Steak & Eggs - 10/10 (Hubs loved it...) French Toast - 9/10 (Could be a bit more on the sweeter side) Pancake - I never really tried it but hubs gave it a 10/10 Follow @jhennybellyventures for more (ig/tiktok) read more

I had a lovely experience at this location this morning. When I arrived it was busy as expected. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the hostess with a smile, she was very polite and actually made us feel comfortable by making small talk. I believe her name was Jamie if I saw her name tag correctly. The wait wasn't a big deal and we sat down after 15 minutes and had great service from our waitress Paula , she checked on our table frequently. Our food was delicious and came out faster than expected. Everyone was very friendly! read more
