Norman’s Bistro is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Norman and GM Fran is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing gumbo. Must come back. 10/10.

Amazing place for lunch or dinner. Wonderful seating and the food cooked to perfection. My favorite was the sweet potatoes in the cup. not super sweet and the flavor reminds you of your Grandmother's cooking.

Food was fresh and tasty. Only the gumbo side was disappointing, lacking full flavor.

The atmosphere is very welcoming. You also must try their chicken gumbo! Yum! There is also stepper dancing with a DJ on Wednesday evenings in the back bar area but get there early, around 7:00, if you want to get a seat!

Wouldn't change a thing! Blew in from TX looking like a mess, in need of sustenance, and did Norman's provide. 🙌 Fried green tomatoes, a shrimp poboy, & somehow the best lemon water of my life. The woman who took care of us was a delight. Everyone was friendly. I love Chicago!!

Great jazz music! Excellent burgers ! Loud in front where jazz music is playing and tables are for dining. Quiet in the back where bar is. (Bar area is down the hall in a separate room.)
Visited this venue while attending a friend's birthday party. I had a great time. Food was good and tasty. I did not order off the menu as the food provided was catered; light appetizers. Lone bartender was busy but efficient, courteous and fast. Bar did not have tonic water nor ginger ale. Many took advantage of the al fresco seating opportunity. Overall nice venue with good food, and a friendly and courteous staff.

Everything had flavor! Good flavor not too salty just right. The fried green tomatoes didn’t need anything the gumbo had plenty of seafood in every bite. The fried catfish was fried to perfection. We came on a busy Friday evening and it was pretty busy the service was a little slow. Our waitress was holding it down. The live music was good a lot was happening because the place across the street was having a part as well and the. Music clashed. Overall for sure I’d return

Stop by for dinner no reservation opening seating and its decent amount of tables available. The vibe outside was live thou had DJs on the block with people dancing its was dope. Ok the food so yeah I started with Fried Green Tomatoes 9.2 these was bussin fr...aint ready need no hot sauce. The flavor profile was like that and low key the cole slaw was served with it paired so well. For the main got 1/2 chicken and again they didn't miss the chicken was cooked extremely well and season wasn't bad at all 8.7. I got a side of mac n cheese which was cool 8.1 was creamy but not much else. Had a rum punch to wash everything down with and the bartender was a little heavy handed but I didn't mind. Customer service was a little slow with it but I wasn't in no rush today. Overall was happy with the spot definitely a must try if in the area 8.6.
