This was my second time trying Norma’s, and overall the food was seasoned well. The eggs were on point, the potatoes were on point, and even the scrapple was on point. The only thing that fell a little short for me was the pancake. I know everyone prepares pancakes differently, but I could tell there were a couple of ingredients missing from the one I received. I’m not trying to be harsh, but since they asked for my review, I wanted to share my experience as honestly and respectfully as possible.

Hall of fame platter 10/10 pancakes were perfect. Bacon and eggs. Then the bacon egg and cheese on white bread with jelly and butter perfect amount of bacon. Only a takeout place. Definitely say call in order before hand because this place is popular

Wish I could put a half of star…
I had someone order food for me and I hated it.
I don’t write reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. I ordered the pudding platter with fried potatoes,eggs and unfortunately, nearly every component missed the mark. The eggs were swimming in butter—to the point where it pooled on the plate and overpowered everything else. Instead of being light and fluffy, they were greasy and difficult to finish like everything was premade.
The fried potatoes lacked crispness and seasoning, making them bland and forgettable. The most surprising letdown, however, was the bacon. I love bacon, so it takes a lot for me to complain about it—but this was simply eeeeeyuckkk. It was either undercooked in parts or oddly textured, with an off taste that made it unappetizing.
Overall, the meal felt heavy, poorly balanced, and carelessly prepared. Breakfast should be comforting and satisfying, but this was neither. I hope the restaurant takes more care with quality and preparation in the future.
**Response to the Owner:**
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I’d like to respectfully clarify my experience. The scrambled eggs were prepared with what seemed to be an excessive amount of butter, resulting in a texture that was noticeably wet. In my experience, scrambled eggs should be light and fluffy rather than overly moist.
Additionally, the bacon was quite salty, which affected the overall balance of the dish. I previously tried the shrimp and grits about two weeks ago, and while the flavor was very good, I did notice it was also slightly on the salty side.
My intention is not to offend, but to provide honest and constructive feedback based on my experience. I appreciate your willingness to engage and hope this feedback is helpful.

Excellent service. All the staff is really friendly. Glad to see a thriving black business in the hood. Outside is a war zone. Between the drunks and others call ahead so you can get your food and bounce. The food was pretty bad. BLT barely had bacon..the salmon cake was a miss. Huge peppers inside and still wet (uncooked) in the center. The home fries was a huge disappointment. Unevenly cooked smashed potatoes. Nasty. Will I be back? Not likely..

The food from here was amazing! Everything is carry out, but the menu was great! I got a veggie omelette with potatoes as a gluten free and vegetarian option. My partner got a breakfast platter. Looking forward to coming back!

I got The Fatty with turkey bacon, corned beef hash, over easy egg, American cheese, tomato, raw onion, hot peppers, and pickles on English muffin.
I also got scrambled egg with American cheese.
The Fatty=amazing! The turkey bacon was the best I have ever had. Thick, savory, and wide belts of it, not crispy unbendable pieces. This was not some thin sad turkey bacon, it was HEARTY. I love they had an alternative to pork product, and the turkey bacon was only an extra 50cents.
Corned beef was also really good, rich and very flavorful.
Slice of tomato and raw onion are hard to mess up lol, those were perfectly fine. And I enjoyed the hot peppers–they have a kick! You need to be okay with spicy for these, I loved them. There were only a few thin slices of pickle.
The egg was overcooked, the yolk was almost hardboiled texture, no run at all. The lighter brown part sticking out of the sandwich is the egg (darker brown parts are turkey bacon or corned beef hash). As for the cheese, it was like someone dipped the back of a spoon in cheese dip and lightly rubbed it on the English muffins the yellow in the photo is the yolk after being bitten into. But, overall it was fantastic and was absolutely stuffed! The other ingredients spilling out, I was so happy about that. It was so big I got two meals out of it.
I will say the scrambled egg with cheese were a really paltry portion, and I couldn’t detect any cheese. It was less than $1.75, a little pricey for a single egg or two but not outrageous.
I will 100% be ordering again. If not today lol. I’d be more than thrilled to get The Fatty again, and hope for more cheese and runnier egg. And would skip the side order of scrambled eggs. But def am going to be a repeat customer! Absolutely recommend it.

I got the fried fish scrambled eggs and cheese with wedges and it was delicious . They have a new loyal customer, I knew it was good when I was 20 minutes late picking it up and it was still so damn good !!

This was my 3rd time coming to Norma’s and we have gotten the same thing each time. For context, our visits have been about 2-3 months apart. Unfortunately, the consistency hasn’t been there with the food. Staff has been great everytime.
1st time- great!. Everything looked and tasted good.
2nd time- ok.
3rd time- hate to say it but terrible!!
We were so disappointed in the presentation and the taste of the food. The Gilbert’s Shrimp & Grits was soupy and runny and the presentation looked a mess. Also got the waffle and four wings. The chicken was overcooked, looked and tasted burnt on parts and we didn’t eat it because of the taste. The waffle was the only thing that we wanted to even eat and finished. Total waste of $32. Would have given 2 stars for the food but I hate to do that based on one really bad experience so the 3 stars takes all the experiences into consideration. I want to continue to support local black owned business but hoping that the standard and quality they started out with returns or else I won’t be able to. Happy to update the review the next time I go to see if there is an improvement.

One of the most mid breakfast takeout platters I have ever had. What kind of breakfast plate puts the grits in the small box and not the large one ? Cheese wasn’t melted and I had to pick it up off the bread side of the carton because they missed and didn’t even barely put any on the grits. Grits had a dishwater aftertaste as well. Never returning here again.
