    Fish and chips with onion rings because didn't feel like fries!
    Abra D.

    Tony our waiter was fabulous. Attentive and felt like friend not just a waiter. We were on the cusp for lunch and went for lunch. He kept my coffee cup full.

    Service was VERY slow. 20 minutes to place our order after we were seated, another 30 minutes for the food to come. Steaks my husband and son ordered were over cooked for well done, and they were supposed to be medium. My husbands steak looked grey, like it had been boiled. Never coming back!

    Service is always nice and polite here at the Riverside NORMS. The menu is extensive; and there's something for everyone. I usually spoil myself with a Tbone&eggs with hash browns and a side of fruits and waffles.....but today, my hashbrowns came out burnt beyond recognition :( Don't know what happened but I was surprised they even served it to me. So again, I've brought my family to NORMS for the past 30yrs and we usually enjoy our meals here. With that said, it really depends on the team/wait-staff/cook that you encounter that can make-OR-break the experience. Today was a BUST......but hopefully next month, Norms, you'll do better. :) we still love you for the comfort food and the friendly service. See you next month!

    BLT. Lots of bacon
    Johnnie C.

    I happened upon this spot looking for something else. Large space and decently clean. I was seated and managed to order quickly. They had various options as usual, and the food is good to me. I had a BLT, with a salad and drink, which came out to about $21. They offer senior citizens discounts also for age 55 and up- 10% off of your meal. Everything was to my liking during this visit, no complaints!

    Cajun chicken sandwich with onion rings
    James A.

    First time stopping in at Norm's for two members of our party of three: we all agreed the experience was really great. We were on the way to Indio, so needed a place to stop for lunch half-way (not necessarily distance but time). The trip from Long Beach to Riverside took a lot less time than anticipated, so got to Norm's about 5 minutes before 11. There are 24 locations across SoCal, and unlike other Norm's, this one is not 24hrs, but open from 07:00 - 23:00. We were greeted warmly by the host when we entered, and immediately shown to a booth in the back. The two dining rooms are very large, with a definite retro fee but not outdated. Tony was our waiter, and he was extremely attentive throughout (even though he had a lot of tables to cover). We learned from his nametag, that he is a certified trainer, and his skills really showed from his efficiency, accuracy, and kindness. Like other restaurants, Norm's has a limited time value menu, which we looked at first. The three of us decided to try different plates, sharing some of the sides. We couldn't allow any take-home, so didn't order too much. Grilled Trout Fillet ($12.99) - I don't see trout in many menus out West, so had to get it. It comes with fries, cole slaw, tartar sauce, and lemon wedges. It was one whole piece of trout, grilled and seasoned well, topped off with fresh lemon juice. I really enjoyed it, especially for the price. The cole slaw serving was generous and it went great with the fish. The fries were not good...had been sitting out too long under the heat lamp. Cajun Chicken Sandwich ($13.99) - choice of side so got Onion Rings. My mother-in-law really enjoyed her sandwich, and shared most of the onion rings with me. The rings were good, definitely from frozen and food service grade, but fried well. Quarter pound burger meal ($11.99) - with fries and soda. The beef was fast food grade, and the fries were the same as mine. Seniors get 10% off of their meal, and like other diners, you get the bill tableside, but you pay upfront. Again, just wanted to call out how well our service went. The food was solid, and the value was good, but the service is what drove this review. Everything went smoothly, and Mom even asked if there are Norm's closer to our home...we will probably visit one of them in the near future.

    PORK CHOPS & EGGS
    Hailie S.

    Incredibly disappointed with norms, I used to come here years ago and the food was delicious and I would often bring my family here. Me and my husband came today expecting a good meal but were left with burnt coffee, a sticky table and a raw porkchop and unseasoned undercooked eggs. I'm not sure how this place has gone so downhill in the past few years but definitely won't be coming back.

We ordered one kids' meal, two adult meals, and a margarita, and our total was under $60. It's hard to beat that these days! Our waiter was fantastic. I wish I could remember his name because he deserves a shoutout. He was friendly, patient, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Place was also clean and not super loud like some other restaurants. Great food, great service, and great value. I can't wait to come back!

It's a good thing that the crowd is varied, cause you'll have A LOT of time to people watch while waiting for your order to arrive. Now, I didn't have a stopwatch on it, but our wait had to exceed 20 minutes. Probably a bit longer. When the food finally arrived, it rode the bench. Not good enough to play in the game, but it still made the team. In other words, it was the tail end of a double header. Long and tired. I got the asada tacos, and my girl the whiskey glazed salmon. We asked prior to ordering, if the salmon was wild caught or farm raised. ALWAYS when ordering salmon, ask if it's wild caught. There is a difference, a big difference. Despite what our server answered, farm raised, my girl went with the salmon. It turned out to be ok. Not stellar, but ok. My tacos were ok too. I was hoping, as always we hope, that the food would be a mind blowing experience. The only thing that was blown was our budget. It was a bit pricey for what was served. However, the beer was cold and the entertainment, entertaining. All in all, an average affair. Quick Tip: The beer is plentiful and cold. Go to the Yard for it and maybe an appetizer. End your outing by going to the McDonald's across the street.

I've…read morelived in San Diego and I've lived in Baldwin Park and always seem to forget this place exists. Here's my honest review! We got to Lazy Dog in Corona around 9:45 pm where the greeter met us right away and took us to a booth located in the bar area. I am a bit weary of booths, and also weary of high top tables because I'm pregnant and have difficulty climbing/stretching just to sit in high top tables and weary of how tight booths can be in certain restaurants. The booth here at Lazy Dog was perfect! We got our menus and began looking until our server approached us. He introduced himself, his name was Javier, and asked us if this was our first time, to which he replied that yes it was. He explained the menus we were given and took our drink order while we reviewed the menus. Since it was happy hour, we tried their buffalo wings and Tangy BBQ Chips to start. I did not take pictures of those items and wish I had. The happy hour items we ordered were delivered by the Manager, who was very nice and chatted with us briefly. She welcomed us as first timers and that usually sets the stage for us when the manager interacts with the customers. The wings had a nice flavor and the chips were definitely addicting. My husband asked for a dipping cup of the high altitude sauce (Javier said it was their hottest) and that was a pretty good sauce with good flavor. To drink I had a Strawberry Citrus refresher, and it was actually really good. Husband had a regular Michelob Ultra, and had no complaints. We both chose food items from the menu, under the $15 Fireside Favorites. You get a choice of an entree and desert. Husband chose the fried chicken dinner with an extra piece of fried chicken and I chose the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp. The food was good, I enjoyed my fettuccini Alfredo which I'm usually picky about. The husband was a little thrown off as he thought the chicken was going to be like bone in fried chicken, and in the end he said it was good regardless. For desert, he got the S'more Brownie Sundae and I got the Banana Pudding. I was sold on the banana pudding, as was my husband. We ended up finishing my desert and took his brownie home (which got eaten later during our movie at home). I have to say, I'd definitely come back. There was so much on the menu that I would like to try.

I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. There were about 6 chunky chicken pieces, they were lightly breaded, tasted like white breast meat; also there was ginger, garlic, zucchini, onions, a few red bell peppers, and water chestnuts in the bowl. Included was cucumbers salad and steamed rice. I've had their chilled cucumber salad before and this time the cucumber taste wasn't the same, guess the juice would blend too much with the miso sauce. The bowl could have had more honey miso sauce. The chicken pieces were about 1-2" in size. The sauce was mostly over the vegetables. The meal also came with a choice of S'more brownie sundae or banana pudding. My pudding was delicious. The waitress didn't come around often to check on our needs. I had to stop her to ask for paper napkins, water refill and the check. I would definitely go back.
