Customer Reviews
October 11, 2025 my wife and I visited Norma's per my sons recommendation. He patronizes this location several times a month with his son, our grandson. We arrived about noonish and was greated rather quickly. Shortly our drink orders were taken. My wife and I ordered the same thing. We both got the cheeseburger and the fries. The burger was very good with all the fixing's we asked for. For the size of the burger (no complaints on this dude) I wished there were either 2 tomato slices or one big one to cover the girth of this burger. The burger had great flavor. The fries...I gotta say, they were fantastic. Is that a big deal? Well, some burger joints that specialize in just burgers, have fries that are mediocre. I bet these fries would make great chili fries as the fries had enough salt a
Great diner for breakfast! Food and service were great! I would definitely recommend this place.
Traditional diner is my jam and biscuits and gravy are my calling so we were told this was a must while in Joplin. The staff were great, the place was clean, the food was fresh and hot. While there was nothing wrong with the food (except the gravy), there was nothing special about it either. Tasty and average with acceptable portions. The let down was the gravy. It was Sysco style...straight from the can and bland. No real flavor or enjoyment from the gravy. The coffee, while hot...was just hot brown water.
So when in there to eat with my girlfriend she just had blood work drawn she had to fast I wasn't hungry and I think that made an impact on the waitress and the way she treated us because we just ordered the one meal a soda for her and I had a water and then I ate her leftovers that she didn't want when we ask for sour cream before we ordered the meal we were not told the sour cream was not available until after we asked for it after the meal arrived we asked for the hash browns to be extra extra extra extra crispy and they weren't fully cooked and we were informed that that's as hot as the grill gets they couldn't make him anymore so overall I haven't been to Norma's diner in 6 or 7 years and with that kind of service I won't be back yeah because if we would have been informed that there
I'm new to the area and was told this place is a MUST. We've been in twice, once for breakfast, and once for lunch. My husband and I will absolutely be regulars! The staff is great, the atmosphere is great, and the food comes out quickly.
