    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 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 The two dining rooms are very large, with a definite retro fee but not outdated.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.

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
