It had been way too long since my last visit to Norms, but I'm so glad I stopped by, twice lol --it's great to see this place thriving! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and accommodating. Despite being a large group, we were seated almost immediately. The service was friendly, and the team was super helpful with recommendations. Now, let's talk about the food--wow! Portions were impressively generous, the prices were budget-friendly, and everything came out tastier than expected. If you're hungry and want great value for your money, Norms definitely delivers. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of parking--a major plus! It's easy to see why this spot is a local favorite. Whether you're craving a hearty meal or just a casual bite, Norms is a solid go-to. Looking forward to my next visit! #NormsRestaurant #BigPortionsBigFlavor #BangForYourBuck #LocalGem

Shoutout to the server, Ruben, for the awesome service and for going above and beyond. We ordered the classic Bigger Better Breakfast with regular pancakes, and the food was phenomenal!, great comfort food. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for phenomenal service and great food.

After a long day at the dog beach, the simplicity and nostalgia of NORMS shines. Everything ordered was delicious! The staff and service were exceptional. Not too packed on a Sunday evening for the dinner hour. Highly satisfied, thank you NORMS!

I went into Norms without high expectations, but the food pleasantly surprised me! I had a chicken sandwich with bacon, and it was pretty delicious. Our waitress was attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. The minus one star comes from a few things, none of which were dealbreakers but worth mentioning. First, the wait time--we were told it would be 30 minutes but ended up waiting about an hour for a party of six. The bathrooms were another downside; they were quite dirty and clearly not well-maintained. Lastly, the parking lot is small, and we had to park on the street. To be fair, we came during peak rush hour (Sunday at 11 a.m.), and when we left around 1 p.m., the place was much less busy, with plenty of open seats and parking spaces. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend going outside of busy times for a better experience with seating and parking. Despite these minor issues, the food was surprisingly good and worth the trip!

Everyone has a tradition of going to their favorite diner, and Norms will always, always be that place that has delicious, heartwarming food as wonderful as the service no matter the time of day. I was really surprised by my most recent visit to the Lakewood location! Compliments to the chef haha Shout out to our server, he was amazing for taking care of all the tables up until we just about left and another one joined him. We came around midnight on a Sunday and the food impressed us. I was very surprised by the turkey dinner. It was juicy and tender and tasty and the helping wasn't shy at all! A thick scoop of mashed potatoes that seemed like the real thing with chunks inside and my favorite kind of traditional, simple and well seasoned stuffing. I LOVED THE ZUCCHINI, it was cooked in this garlic butter sauce that was fragrant and gave a delicious bite to the veggies! That was a very hearty meal for $15 and really made me happy. The omelette was also impressive with its fluffiness and flavor. We could taste every individual topping, the onion, ham, tomato, etc with a nice layer of cheese on top. So comforting and tasty, I really am not an omelette person but this my favorite of the night! The hashbrowns were yummy as well, crispy on the top and melted in my mouth. Delicious. Pancakes were also incredibly fluffy. They were on the thicker side but were so spongey, it was so great. I've never been so pleasantly surprised by diner food before. Once my family's tradition, and now my boyfriend and I's tradition, I really treasure places like Norms! Thank you so much for serving our community and being a safe place for everyone, with really great food. This is a socal treasure!!! (Bring back the fish and rice pilaf on the kids menu haha)

This NORMS has old school decor which I absolutely love. I ordered a BLT with fries it was yummy, enough to enjoy later. Service was great food was fantastic. I will definitely recommend and return very soon...

Very affordable, fast service, good location and good food. Gotta love Norms. Ambiance is very casual and easy

I have several Normas I frequent depending on the area I'm in because I can always count on Norms to provide a hot delicious home style cooked meal. The only difference is the servers they all are normally great but my favorite location is on Lakewood in the city of bellflower and the best server at that location is LILY when I go in I always ask for her or I look for her she is the best friendliest server

I don't know that anyone willfully goes to Norms. It's more a place where one winds up after a botched wedding reception, drinking binge, or gambling night. (See also: Patton Oswalt's bit about restaurants you go to versus restaurants you end up at.) I found myself at this Norms because most places not showing the Stupor Bowl were closed. Norms never closes. So I went to this outside of space and time restaurant. Because I don't have a normal human diet I ordered a waffle with strawberries & a whole side of fries with ranch. I don't see a legitimate reason to extensively unpack the acceptable ambience, or the competent service, or the palatability of the food. It's a Norms. The purpose of Norms is to be there when every other business has closed, deserted you, or 86'd you. So thank you Norms for adopting the business strategy of never closing. Note that "never closing" is not the same as "always open." Norms is less "ready to go" and more "not willing to call it a day." Thank you Norms for never giving your staff a moment of rest.
