Stopped by to have breakfast, and it was beautifully busy as it should. I sat at the bar my waitress named was LaTisha she was so sweet, and a great Multitasking different with multiple tables. Food was good for the most part just need a little more seasoning, and the eggs on the omelet was not as yellow as I liked. Overall, it's a very relaxing restaurant, and the staff was Super Friendly 👌. I've eaten here before food was great, but this was my 1st time eating breakfast.
We ordered lunch to be delivered from here for 8 people. From the time of order to the pickup time and the delivery time went pretty smooth. Food still arrived warm. There was a large amount of food with every order. We also got 24 rolls with our order, and a lot of butter packs. I ordered the meatloaf, the tomato sauce was good, however the meatloaf seemed a little dry. If you see from the picture, it was a little messing from how it was packed, maybe use a different container or put sauce and gravy it a different container. Mashed potatoes and gravy was leaking a little out the side. Other than that the flavor was good, definitely got full with plenty to eat….now I just need a nap!
First time here and can say I will be back. I got the chicken tender platter with fries, broccoli and Mac and cheese. The tenders were juicy, well seasoned and fresh. The fries were basic (what you would expect), the broccoli was soft if you like that. I prefer a slight crunch but it was good for unseasoned and soft broccoli. Lastly the Mac and cheese was delicous. They offer corn bread or rolls, get both! The corn bread is sweet and moist the rolls were soft and had a buttery flavor! The noodles were well cooked, the cheese was creamy and overall it was the best side ever. The area is tight and loud but Ill be back to try other food. Overall it was delicous!
Great place for great breakfast food and fun local Dallas vibes. Normas is a fun blast to the past as you step inside an get a quick glance of some of Dallas' history. The service was very good, we got our coffee delivered to us almost immediately, and wait time for food was no problem. Having young and noisy kids was no problem for them as they were very attentive and even cleaned up a big mess that our kids made. Chicken fried chicken was fabulous, as were their fluffy, delicious homemade biscuits. I love the pancakes as well, they were on the crispier side which is exactly how I like them. As a big fan of retro diners I found Normas to check all the boxes I would expect.
I've always recieved good food whether it's dine in or take out 😛
Our waitress was extremely cordial and competent. The late breakfast was absolutely delicious, especially the biscuits and gravy. It’s a great place to have a birthday brunch. Thanks Norma’s Cafe!
It was busy at 1 pm so the service suffered a but since i had to wait a little longer to order. Food was pretty good and did come out fast, despite it not being so photogenic. I can definitely see the hype, would love to bring family whenever they’re in town
Drove up from Houston to visit family and tried Norma's base on yelp reviews. Small neighborhood diner feel. Great food, try the cinnamon roll, big enough to feed 2-3 ! Great service and even better prices! Their positive reviews are well deserved. Will definitely return and highly recommend.
This is old school diner. We found this place from TikTok in a video stating it was the best breakfast. They weren't lying. Food is great and when you order the steak and eggs you get a BIG surprise. Gizmo is the best!
What a great place to eat near downtown, still popular & going strong!!
Norma's 67th Birthday special was so good. Chicken fried steak dinner, mashed potatoes with green beans and a roll for $1.85. The best part was the brown gravy.
So let me just start by saying that Keisha is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She is the epitome of customer service and she really made my grandma and me feel welcome tonight, despite her being incredibly busy. The food was phenomenal, as per usual, but I just can’t praise Keisha enough. The world needs more fun and joyful spirits like hers. SHE is the reason I’ll be back to this location. Thanks Keisha!
Good spot for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes the wait is a little long but usually it’s if ur a party of 4 or more. Recently tried chicken and dressing and fell in love! The ham is the best protein choice as well as the CFC. Friendly servers too. Tried the sirloin and it’s not bad either. Varies
Great little diner in the BEST SIDE OF DALLAS, THE BISHOP ARTS DISTRICT!!! Fast, friendly service in an old but very clean diner. Cool, old memorabilia on the walls to look at..., that is when I wasn't checking out my girlfriend!! Started it all off with a trip to the ultra clean and conveniently unisex restroom for one..., complete with door locks and vacant signs!!! Also, best @Coca-Cola I've had in a while!!! Add on a piece of chocolate pie to go and viola..., comma! Great job crew!!!!
Iconic Cafe, down home cooking, and service was great. Very good breakfast served all day. I will definitely be back. Corn bread biscuits are so delicious!

My new favorite place!!
Let me start with the most delightfull rolls..... I am NOT a bread person, it takes too much room in the tummy that should be saved for other goodies however, this buttery, sweet, fluffy goodness is another story. The chicken fried steak is the best I've had in Texas so far!! Crunchy tasty outside with an amazing flavor in the inside. I had the brown gravy, I love that you get a choise of white or brown. Now I HAVE to go back again and try the white one. For my sides I had; the salad, mashed potatoes, which were buttery delish, and the chicken gumbo which would have been perfect if it wasn't for the amount of black pepper it was cooked with. My brother loves pepper so he thought it perfection. Norma's was sooooo good we went back again the next day, I had the catfish which did not disappoint! The fish was flaky and breaded soo tastefully it left me wanting more!
I will warn you the ice tea is addicting so be prepared. There will more than likely be a wait and the parking lot will be full on Saturdays and Sundays but it will definitely be worth it. The food will leave you dying to go back, and the service is on point. Wish I had room for dessert cause the cinnamon roll looks soooooo good!
