Norm's Diner

Great new diner in west village. We put our name on the list about an hour before being seated. This Diner is small so prepare for a wait in the weekend brunch hours. We got the fresh soup, fries and a shake. Everything was absolutely delicious and they also accommodated our baby twin girls. I would recommend stopping by if not for the delicious food, for the amazing shakes. Casual diner ambiance it's a perfect relaxing comfort meal. We will be back!

I'm thankful to finally have a restaurant in the West Village with regular operating hours. Most restaurants around West Village have odd hours or are only open in the evening. For that reason alone, Norm's has quickly become a staple for breakfast and lunch. I find myself coming here a lot to meet people for lunch because there aren't many other options in this neighborhood.Unfortunately, the food is mediocre and overpriced and has gotten worse since it opened several months ago. For example, in December, I ordered the Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken, and it was decent, with the same chicken used in the Crispy Chicken Cutlet entrée. Several months later, in February, I ordered the same thing and was given lower-quality chicken different from what was served in the Crispy Chicken Cutlet entrée. In addition, the sodium content was super high for both my salad and the side of fries I shared with my friend. I could not believe the amount of salt in both dishes. I don't even know how or why there would be so much salt in a Caesar Salad. I haven't had the Crispy Chicken Cutlet since December so I wonder if that has changed as well. The Two Eggs Breakfast is okay but you can get a better and bigger breakfast at nearby Coney Islands. It only comes with one sausage patty and two little potatoes that aren't crispy as the menu claims.

Was really excited to try Norm's, but after two visits, I think it's overhyped. Pretty expensive for breakfast food and they still need to work on their consistency. Ordered over-easy eggs and they came over-hard. Heard great things about the pancakes, but mine were overcooked/dry. Came a second time to try lunch. I'm a ceasar salad LOVER, and theirs was a letdown.Norm's is in a great spot and filling a gap in West Village, but unfortunately, I will not be a regular (and I wanted to be!)

I need another run at Norms, I feel like. I want to love it but I wasn't in love after my first visit. Had to have the biscuits and gravy bc duhhh. It left me wanting a bit more. I was a bit underwhelmed by the turmeric-heavy yogurt bowl and mushy smashed brekky potatoes. The wait on a Sunday for 4 people? Criminal. Thank god our server was nice and the homey small town vibe was fully present. I'll be back to play sooner than later so I fully expect to update my review.

Such a cute new spot in the neighborhood! Classic diner vibes with delicious staples. You HAVE to get a malt (they are garnished with fries!)!! I ordered Two Eggs and it was a great price for the meal. The sausage was sweet and the potatoes come with a yummy sauce. Perfect blend of sweet and savory!

Hallelujah! A diner in West Village.I went to Norm's on opening day and had the best turkey club with heirloom tomatoes and herby mayonnaise. My friend had the pancakes and a malt. I'm telling you, this place could be half as good and it would still be great. I almost went back today but I "you have food here"-ed myself and what was that food? The other half of my turkey club! Still delicious cold, sitting two days in the fridge.They are open 8am to 4pm, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I know it's too much to wish that they were open 24/7, one thing I miss about my previous city. But that's one thing I miss among a million I do not miss, so I'll be grateful for a diner that's open 8/5.Service was very friendly and good. What I noticed was how chill and efficient it was for an opening day, food was coming out at a good pace, coffee and water was refilled, they checked in on as after we got our food and again about midway in. I also really love the design and decor: it's very thoughtful without being overwrought. It's beautiful and bright inside with the large windows overlooking Agnes Street. I love the creme and burgundy color scheme, and the counter and the stools (nice, plush stools, not the evil metal ones!), purse hooks. It gives a 50s diner vibe with a sleek Swedish aesthetic. In addition to the hot food they also have a cooler with some grab and go things. If you're planning on coming, use their wait-list app which is on their website and Instagram. Street parking is free but can be sparse at times. I feel like a lot of people had walked there so we were able to find parking pretty close. There are bike racks in front of Metropolitan if that's your preferred mode of transportation. Welcome to the neighborhood, Norm's!

Love love love the food here!!! Amazing!Just be prepared that the very basic diner paper menu in front of you doesn't actually describe some of the dishes you may receive- Ex., the $10 yogurt bowl sounds fairly average: MI honey, house granola, berries - and now look at my pic. The yogurt is a beautiful yellow/orange hue (from tumeric) and a good bit of kick- I absolutely loved it and will try to recreate it again home but others might be surprised that it's not the plain yogurt they were expecting Similarly, the "Texas toast" on the $14 BLT is actually just toast (see pic) so again, expectations might go awry The $5 Breakfast Potatoes are just stunning- I could order multiples!It's a new place that this neighborhood truly needs with fabulous food!From generations of restaurant family, I promise you they'll make changes/streamline as they settle in- they're highly overstaffed and they'll figure out how to cut some costs as they go but for now, get in there and try this food!More than likely you'll have a wait so put your name on the list (dedicated hostess for approx 35 max) and she'll send a text when your table is ready (Red Hook is next door so get a coffee/tea there and hang out)Service is phenomenal - very friendly ppl and many of them

A busy place with easy accessibility into the restaurant. Did not check bathrooms so unsure. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was delivered as it was made so had crispy breakfast pot Oakes while I waited for the BLT. Not mad about it. Those breakfast potatoes are unique and super delicious. Their bacon and heirloom tomatoes made this an awesome BLT as well. Will be back to try the pancakes we saw delivered nearby!!

With Norms Diner being added to the West Village area it's such a great addition to the neighborhood! The inside is small so it definitely was packed. I arrived around 12 noon I was able to get a seat at the counter. During peak brunch & lunch hours it gets very busy so prepare for a wait when going.I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink which was refreshing. For my food I got the yogurt bowl to start the granola added such a perfect crunch to the sweetness of the berries which balanced it out very well. I ended off with the Crispy Chicken Cutlet which was fried to perfection and was so tender. It paired well with the green goddess dressing on the bottom of it I like that is was topped with that frisée salad really tied it al together.The staff was friendly & responsive; the space was well kept and clean. If you like a nice and causal breakfast or brunch spot, Norms Diner is definitely the place you want to visit !

Another delicious meal! The onion dip and chips is a must . Make sure to get the eggnog cheese slice it was outstanding.
