Service and food is a 5 star review. We have never had an issue coming to this location with any of the servers, they are all amazing , the food quality is always hot and delicious. The one star review goes out to the new manager who is awful to his employees. Went on a Sunday at noon, as you can expect it was busy, not an issue of course, we were seated right away, but at one point one of the servers accidentally dropped some dishes that broke, everyone in the restaurant turned around and the employees played it off clapping, but the way the manager reacted was unnecessary. He literally yelled at the employees in front of everyone and you could see the change of everyone’s faces, and the mood of the restaurant became tense. All the servers still smiled at all their guests and still went above and beyond. The employees cleaning the tables also worked quickly to clean them off. Such a disappointment to see employees being treated that way, especially when we have been coming here for many years and most of the servers have been there for a really long time. This time, there were a lot of new faces, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was because of the manager.

Can't believe I didn't find this place until my son's SMU senior year. Great diner food, excellent service, love the Lone Star booths and overall decor -- Don't Mess with Texas!

I wanted to treat my mom for bf and I don't see the hype. The food was flavorless, idk how it's packed then again it's cheap no quality.
The server, Idk his name white dude with ponytail and black nail polish... that was a sign. He kept touching his nose, put his nasty hands on my cup where I drink from. Does check nor engage. It makes me sad to pay for a food that even a homeless guy wouldn't touch. Def not the worth money. Unless you old amd don't have a sense of taste. Even the food presentation was boring. After telling the manager all they offered was an apology 🙄

We came here for our first time today and it was so good. Slimy was our waitress and so attentive and sweet. Got the country breakfast and a piece of pie. Biscuits are so good and service was awesome. We will definitely be back.

I hate posting this because I love Norma's. But this was the most disappointing experience I've had as far as the food quality. My chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra were not hot and the batter coating was tough to cut and chew...as though it had been microwaved (not sure how that can be since none of my food was hot). The flavor was still good but the room temperature food was disappointing.

My family and I went to the Oak Cliff restaurant and it was first time coming to Norma's Cafe. It was one of the best food we ever tried. Jesse was our waiter and was so attentive to us. We really recommend this place. The food was served fast and really good. The hostess was sweet as well .
