I don't understand the negative reviews here at all.
I'd never been to this Norm's before, but I was glad to find it after traveling all day. I was ready for a good, filling meal, and that's exactly what I got.
Of course prices for anything aren't what they used to be, but the portions here are very large compared to most places these days. A real bowl of gumbo soup, a large plate of salad, plus the main course, a hefty portion of meatloaf complete with homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, and a side of vegetables. All very tasty.
The service was outstanding. A young lady came often without being intrusive, and had impeccable manners.
The price was just under $15 plus tax, which seemed cheap on top of a very full stomach!
The restaurant is large and sparkling, with easy parking. It's just a couple miles from SoFi, Intuit, and the Forum, so a perfect place to eat before or after events.
As others have noted, this location is not open 24 hours every day -- just Friday and Saturday nights. Other days, 7 AM to 11 PM. Google has the correct hours, so you may want to check before you go.
For me, the best part was this: I forgot my backpack when I left. When I realized this at my destination, the restaurant was about to close. I managed to find the phone number and the gentleman who picked up went and found my backpack and kept it safe till I could return. I don't carry any money in that pack, but many things that would be a real pain to replace, plus some others with sentimental value. Most important, my passport was in it, and I'm flying out in two days!
Big thanks to Norm's for saving me from a nightmare.
