Absolutely love NORMS in West Hollywood! The energy here is always amazing, the staff is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. A HUGE shoutout to our waitress, Ms. Lucy -- we absolutely love her! She always takes such great care of us, has the best energy, and makes the whole experience feel extra special. Her service is truly above and beyond. And I don't know what it is about this location, but for some reason the food just tastes a little better here Everything comes out fresh, delicious, and exactly how you want it. Great food, great atmosphere, amazing staff, and especially amazing service from Ms. Lucy! Definitely one of our favorite NORMS locations. Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming to Norm's the almost at least two times a month for the past year. Honestly this place is such comfort. The food is good. The servers are friendly (especially Lucy!) She's such a sweetheart. It's such an easy drop in. I love coming alone and sitting at the counter. What do I get? Two pork chops, two eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. All that plus a cup of coffee comes to around $20. Talk about deal. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Eggs, Hasbrowns, Biscuits, and Gravy for around $7.99 - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Stopped in here for a quick bite to eat while driving home from Long Beach. I've been to a NORMS before in Torrance and loved it, This location was busy but had the staff to keep up, saw lots of pick up orders. I sat at the counter, my waitress Sofia was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a Chicken Parmesan and it was delicious. Came with a soup and salad. I love places like this cause they feel authentic, like I'm in an old timey diner. Will definitely stop here again! read more

NORMS Restaurant - CHICKEN PARMIGIANA - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

After watching the movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, I was excited to try this breakfast diner and when I went inside the restaurant I was slowly brought back down to reality. Service: 4/5 Good server, good attention to our table but not too much Ambiance: A bit dirty/ run down looking. the orange seats have seen better days and the condiments on the table need a big refresh Food: 1/5 This is what I was most disappointed by. The coffee was super basic and pretty low quality, my meal was the sirloin and it was a weird cut of meat and also tasted a bit old. The pancakes were also incredibly basic and not good. The burnt beef end bowl was the best thing out of everything, it actually had flavor. Overall would not recommend and wouldn't come back. read more

Norms is always a dependable choice when you're looking for a quick, satisfying meal. This location has its own parking lot, which makes it convenient, and when I stopped by on a Sunday around noon, I was seated immediately. Since Norms is a chain diner, the menu is consistent no matter which location you visit, and that's something I appreciate. You know exactly what to expect, the portions are generous, and the food comes out quickly. It's a great option when you're hungry and don't want to wait forever for your meal. I also like the convenience of being able to pay either at the front register or directly from the kiosk at your table. It's nice to have both options. This location has a fun 1950s-style theme that gives it a classic diner feel. Overall, Norms is a solid, reliable go to when you're craving comfort food, and I personally prefer it over other chain diners. read more

I've been wanting to come to Norm's for years because the mid-20th-century Googie architecture is way cool to a Generation Jones type like me. I had seen it in recent films with Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy. Built in 1957, it retains its vintage Jetsons-inspired style with its space-age signage, curved roofline, and bright orange furnishings. While waiting for our WeHo hotel to be ready, Jamie W and I strolled on La Cienega to get here. Business was percolating and I was struck how quickly our server Maricela seated us at a fairly large table. She handed us laminated menus that were an astonishing 21 pages long each. Needless to say, it took us a while to pore through all the huge and reasonably priced choices. Jamie decided on the $19.99 Country Fried Steak, a large, flattened beefsteak covered in thick country gravy accompanied by hash browns and sauteed squash and zucchini (Photo 7). It came generously with a bowl of Seafood Gumbo (Photo 10) and a Romaine Salad with ranch dressing (Photo 8). My order was the $20.99 1/2-lb New York Steak & Eggs, quite a cut of meat prepared medium-rare accompanied by hash browns and a pair of sunny-side eggs (Photo 6). Hefty as the plate was, I went for the Two Buttermilk Pancakes instead of toast (Photo 9). The truck driver portions reflected solid, rib-sticking food better than most of the competition. FOOD - 4 stars...mammoth portions, good prices, and frankly satisfying for a big breakfast appetite AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...the Googie touches are really unique even if everything else is formica SERVICE - 5 stars...Maricela is a veteran always one step ahead of us...the payment tablet was a nice touch TOTAL - 4 stars...if you're ravenous, come here...they're open 24/7!

Great service. Good yummy food. Maricela our server got the food out to us on time and it was perfect. Swing by when you want a good casual meal. When you enter go to the left. Even the host tends to push people towards the bathroom side. Why. They should stop. It feels weird.Get the side with the view of the street so you can people watch. Enjoy read more

Norms is a popular chain in LA, and as a local, it's almost a rite of passage to visit at least once. It's become the unofficial diner of LA. While there are closer locations, I've always wanted to experience the googie architecture here. Seeing it up close didn't disappoint; it was beautiful, especially lit up in the early morning. I came here expecting great food after all the architecture appreciation! I knew I wanted Steak and Eggs, a Norms classic. The waitress recommended the Country Fried Steak, and being a fan, I ordered it. It was very crunchy, but not quite what I expected. The patty had onions, and the gravy was good. I was disappointed the hash browns were soft and mushy, unlike the menu description of golden brown. The pancakes were solid and fluffy, just as they should be. However, the service was slow, and I wasn't checked on at all. Maybe I'm being picky, but the service was lacking. The food was okay, and I'd give it a 3, but the architecture makes it a 4-star experience. I'm not rushing back, but if I do, I'll try the steak and eggs and ask for golden brown hash browns. read more

Fun Fact - this location is featured in the 2026 movie "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" While they actually shot the inside diner scenes elsewhere, the outside scenes feature this location! It's been a while since I've been to Norms and I honestly don't know why I stayed away for so many years because it is such a classic LA diner with lots of character. I was truly shocked at just how big their menu is and the sheer variety. They honestly have a little bit of everything - breakfast (duh), steak, chicken, salmon, salads, pasta, sandwiches, and more. I came for breakfast and got the Eggs Benedict and Chocolate Chip Pancakes. It was so much food I couldn't finish it all but very tasty. I ordered the hashbrowns loaded with onions and cheese and I'd highly recommend that to get the extra flavor. Prices are good especially for this part of LA. I sat at the counter which was fun to watch the chefs work their magic and see all of the plates come out. They did take a little while to bring our food out though and I noticed plates would commonly sit ready to be delivered to tables for 10 mins+. They're really busy but could improve on getting hot food to customers tables faster. Overall still a good experience and they have a medium sized parking lot attached to the restaurant which you can park at for free. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Breakfast any time! - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Stopped by this diner since we were in the area and realized that it had been years since we last visited. It's always nice finding a classic 24/7 diner, especially since there aren't as many of these places around anymore. The late night crowd definitely makes for an interesting experience, but that's part of the charm. The staff were all so sweet, welcoming, and friendly. The diner has that nostalgic, old-school feel that takes you back, nothing overly trendy, just a good ole reliable spot. The portions are solid, the food is comforting, and it's the kind of place you can count on anytime of day or night. A true old faithful that's worth keeping around. read more

This place is great after a night out! Have also gotten delivery a couple times. It is reasonably priced and the portions are big, everything I've tried has been good so far (except for the gravy one night tasted off). I've gotten burgers, the appetizer sampler, chilaquiles, and a couple other things. Went back after going vegan and was able to make it work. The service is usually pretty fast and friendly, they also have a guard there to kick out the drunks. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Sampler platter and stack of pancakes - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I had never heard of this place before, and I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, I loved the atmosphere. The restaurant has a charming retro diner feel that instantly transports you to another era. It's the kind of place that feels nostalgic, welcoming, and full of character. The staff was incredibly friendly throughout my visit, and one thing that stood out to me was seeing so many regular customers. It really felt like a neighborhood staple, which is always a great sign. The food was very good, the portions were satisfying, and the prices felt fair for the quality and quantity you receive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'm happy to have discovered this hidden gem. I can definitely see myself coming back. read more

NORMS Restaurant - pancakes - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The husband wanted a no-frills satisfying breakfast. We were hanging out in the West Hollywood area after church, so I took him to NORMS. This was his first visit. The parking lot was full when we arrived. We found a spot at our second drive around. Although there were a few people waiting when we checked in, we were seated in just a few minutes. My husband ordered The Bigger Better Breakfast Sandwich (+ avocado) and Fries. I chose the Melting Pot Omelette with Hashbrowns and Buttermilk Hotcakes. It all came out pretty quick. Nice portions overall, except for the added avocado which was so small that our server thought it was missing until she lifted the bun to find the skimpy slices (I moved them out to be visible for the pic). It was all very good nonetheless -- fresh, well seasoned and comforting. Our server Maricela was excellent -- attentive and friendly. The young lady at the register who checked us in was then the person who handled our check. Unfortunately she seemed more interested in socializing with her co-workers than putting forward good customer service. She didn't smile, greet or thanked us. The rest of the staff was ok. Honestly, we didn't expect that much from NORMS in terms of service, so we weren't that disappointed. The husband was happy enough with the experience. We may try a different location next time though. read more

My experience questions if this place is trying to deter customers away by let quality and shrink flatiron. The fries fish was much smaller size and dry But the salad and soup was still amazing I'll compare to another norms soon and try it here again but beware. It is a wonderful place to visit just for the ambiance. read more

NORMS (established in 1949 & opened this location in 1957) is one of more well-known 24-7 diners in Southern California and this location is the original & flagship NORMS location. The ownership was sold to outside investor Jim Balis (CapitalSpring) in 2015. This location was designated as a Historic-Cultural Monument in 2015. In Dec 2024, it was reported that the lease for this location is up in 2026 and the plan is converting the building into a Raising Cane's in 2027. Due to public outcry, the conversion plan is currently put on a hold indefinitely. [Parking]: Easy and free private parking lot, but the lot was completely packed on Sunday at 11:30 AM. [Ordering & service]: I walked and and told the staff my name so that I could be on the waitlist. I didn't wait too long and was able to grab a seat at the counter. Service was alright and I paid my check at the front entrance cashier counter. [Menu]: The menu covers all of basic American breakfast that one can think of, but popular options include Steak& Eggs, French Toast, and Country Fried Steak. Each Steak & Eggs order is served with 2 eggs, choice of (1) golden hash browns / home fries / fresh fruit & (2) choice of toast / English muffin / biscuit & gravy / 2 buttermilk hotcakes. 2 buttermilk hotcakes (pancakes) = default option. *** 6 Ounce Sirloin Steak & Eggs (medium rare, 510 cal + golden hash browns + 2 buttermilk hotcakes - $18.99): Eggs were too runny and steak tasted alright. Not a fan of hash browns as it tasted too soggy. Hotcakes tasted really bland. In hindsight, I should've get anything (e.g. toast / English muffin / biscuit & gravy) but hotcakes. *** The only things this place has going for it are historical significance, generous food portion, and easy parking. Food was left much to be desired. read more

Ambiance & Experience Normally, this establishment is a reliable go-to, but this recent visit fell short of the mark. The atmosphere felt sluggish, and the usual welcoming energy was missing, making the overall experience far less pleasant than previous visits. The Food The food was just "okay" this time around. While it wasn't necessarily bad, it certainly wasn't the best it has been. Given the long wait time for the plates to arrive at the table, I expected the quality to be higher, but it lacked the consistency I usually enjoy here. Service & Professionalism The service was the most disappointing aspect of the meal. Our server, Brenda, appeared as though she did not want to be there. This lack of enthusiasm translated into several logistical issues: * Delays: There was a significant wait for our drinks, and the food took an unusually long time to arrive. * Lack of Attention: I eventually had to flag down a different server just to check on the status of our order. * Professional Appearance: From a hygiene and industry-standard perspective, it was disappointing to see a server with loose, untied hair. In a food service environment, hair should be pulled back or secured for safety and presentation. * The Check: We were unable to get our server's attention at the end of the meal and had to approach another staff member just to pay our bill. Final Thoughts I've always enjoyed my time at Norms in the past, but the combination of sloppy service and mediocre food made this visit very underwhelming. I hope this was just an "off" night for the team and that they can return to their usual standards soon. read more

Old school restaurant since 1957. Norm's has been around since 1949 but this googie style restaurant opened up 8 years later. I stopped by around 10pm on a Thursday and they were busy. I saw a lot of breakfast orders being made especially pancakes. I had already eaten at another nearby place so while I sat at the counter I only ordered a strawberry sundae. The ice cream was okay not the creamiest but for a price tag of $2.99 you can't go wrong. read more

The experience was amazing. Our servicer was Lucy, and she was OUTSTANDING. This Norm's is the best in the city with the best prices. We love coming here and you will too! read more

Not kidding - I've literally not visited this Norms in the last 50 years and I used to be a regular there. Time seems to have stood still there. I walked in the door and it seemed like yesterday I was last here. We stopped by after a theater event at 11 pm on a Saturday night it was pretty crowded. Despite the crowd it was amazingly quiet. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and nicely lit. Last time I was here it was getting a little dingy. So the new look was very inviting. Service was a bit slow, but when Consuelo made it to our table, the efficiency machine kicked right in. I ordered the top sirloin steak and eggs and received a very generous portion. The steak was amazingly tender and cooked perfectly. It came with eggs and a huge side of has browns. Hash browns can easily be overcooked but these were spot on. The other patrons added to the experience. It was like a melting pot of America. Every race and ethnicity was represented. Numerous languages being spoken. But nothing annoying. Everyone was respectful. Consuelo was an excellent waitress. Despite working very hard she kept an beautiful smile and regularly checked on our satisfaction I now usually go to a different Norms closer to my home. But it was special going here last night. A lot of memories going there years ago with my friends. It's a family restaurant. Everyone dining there last night looked happy and satisfied. read more

Recommendation from a friend who said we had to visit for comfort food with good portions and great taste. He left out that it was great service also. Flora took care of us and was super attentive. The food was good. We had breakfast but the lunch items sounded good. I could have eaten those hash browns for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were so good. The pancakes are light and airy. Prices were fair. I know why they've been around for over 70 years. read more

This weekend was my first ever time eating Norms and i was not disappointed. I ordered the lumberjack breakfast as well as a waffle and it was so good. These portions are big so you have to be a bit hungry to really finish your whole meal lol. On another note, our waitress with the colorful glasses was amazing. She made me feel welcomed and service like that always makes one want to return. I most certainly will be returning whenever i am feeling a nice delicious breakfast. The aesthetic of the place reminds me of diners i see on TV. 10/10 read more

We love Norm's! Classic diner vibes and ambience. The menu has something for everyone and the prices are a good value. The staff is also friendly and kind. If you sit in Lucy's section expect the VIP treatment. She always goes above and beyond. A trip to Norm's is a special treat. read more

Connie was wonderful! I ordered the pork chop and eggs and was surprised by how well seasoned and tender the pork chops were.

Norms is Norms - #25 La CIENEGA, Los Angeles, CA. ... your typical comfort food. However, since I had not had pancakes in a few years I craved a good pancake. So off to Norms we went after a meeting and since we were in this part of town off to norms we went. My family had never been to norms and enjoyed their meals. We had eggs Benedict and 2 veggie omelette; they were decent and hit the spot. But the pancakes were all worth it! The best. Maricela, our server was great, caring and efficient - professional- making sure our coffee cups were full of hot coffee and we were pleased with our food. Thanks for the yummy comfort food; off to OC now. read more

NORMS Restaurant - Norns Restaurant from outside - Diners Near Me - West Hollywood, California

For starters the bathroom was a mess. No paper, not even for handwashing. I told a waitress and was dismissed The meal was awful. I didn't eat it. I grazed over the salad and soup but the steak was awful. The waitress was not attentive. I asked for coffee with half and half and she gave me the small cups that looked like creamer. Luckily I was wearing my glasses because the label said non dairy corn/soy creamer. Disgusting. I honestly don't know why a person would bring corn soy creamer when I asked for half and half. Overall, it was the worst norm's experience ever. I won't be back. read more

180 Norms has returned back to the place I grew up on diner experience the food is so much better true value on what you are paying for. The staff are so friendly even managers are polite when they greet you. Once in awhile you do get the strange clients coming in but the entertainment they give you. Wow. read more

I like to stop by this breakfast restaurant before my shift at work, they usually have some deals which makes breakfast pretty cheap. The service tends to be good at this establishment, I have no complaints. The breakfast that I usually order has the same consistency and quality, and I am happy about the portions that they give. Inside the diner is just a classic setup with booths, tables, and at the diner. The only negative I do not like about this place, is the small parking lot. Overall, not too bad of a breakfast food and know what you're getting yourself into read more

Four stars for our server Flora, she was great. However, I ordered the chilaquiles verde, which only comes with black beans...why no Spanish rice for a traditional Mexican dish? Flora said I could get hash browns instead, but not both. I thought that was strange, but didn't press it. I ordered my eggs over medium, because I like the yoke runny. They came with runny whites too! Gross. I asked for new eggs, which came out right. As for ambience, Norms is always loud, it's a diner. We were seated right away, but it was in the back near the restrooms, not great, but that's the trade-off to be seated fast. I'm glad Norms La Cienega is going strong and remains popular, but there always can be improvements. read more

I thought I'd give 'em another try after avoiding them for a several year period. Didn't work out. One waitress for some 30 tables. She placed a knife and fork down on a paper napkin furthest from me, didn't look at me, placed a menu down and walked away without greeting or acknowledging me or asking what my drink order might be. As I perused the menu, saw what I wanted and the price was $15.99 for bacon/eggs/hashbrowns and pancakes - I remembered the other reason I avoided this place is due to the laziness of kitchen staff in making hash browns. They always come out mushy, like mashed potatoes instead of crispy and well cooked - even when instructing the waitress to tell them how to cook them. It means they don't know how to both prepare and cook them properly and/or they just try to get food out as quickly as possible without considering quality. Just laziness. Between remembering that and not getting anything from the waitress decided to catch Waymo back home where I cooked my own 4 large eggs, hash browns, toast and coffee for a cost of $3 and change. As result, had a much better experience and quality of food. And businesses like this wonder why we don't come back anymore. read more
