I ordered salmon Benedict. It was mostly egg and sauce. The hash brown potatoes were very good! Not too crispy or hard. It was perfect. My drinking glass was dirty so they got me a new one.

In general, everything is good. It's cool that you can sit outside. The food was prepared quite quickly, which was very good because we did not have much time. The scenery here immerses you in the world of music and seems to transport you back 20 years. I would like them to have new cutlery. It can be seen that the forks and spoons were used a lot. In my opinion, it is time to replace them with new ones.

A great brunch spot around Castro valley. Norman is pretty old school, in terms of decoration, food and service. The local mom and pop diner feeling make you feel like eating at home. All the servers are friendly and nice. The food portion is slightly on the big side, I think I could probably finish about 80% of the order. You have classic brunch items like omelette, egg Benedict, hash brown etc. You could also pick a sandwich or a toast. If you wanna something a bit more heavy, grab some pasta, some steak. The store has both indoor and outdoor seating. You are looking at about 25-30 per person.

My Hubby loves the Chicken Fried Steak. I love having Breakfast at Norman's Grill. It gives me a break and have never been disappointed. The Service is Excellent. Once a week I place a to go order of Chicken Fried Steak with am extra patty. It is his Lunch and Dinner at work. I love the cozy friendliness.

So I liked little dive places, they usually offered up decent food, mediocre decor at a great value. This place used to be that. Then one day I took my family in and we ate or meal came time to pay and realized I spent a mortgage payment on breakfast. I looked at the receipt and it was 6 dollars for a glass of OJ. I just never checked and that was the last time I have been here are it is not worth the money. Hills on Foothill is pretty good and a decent meal for the money. Or even JP right next door for a cleaner place and very good food for a little less than this place. I am just so disappointed in what has transpired with his place. If you do have to go the eggs Benedict are pretty good just be prepared to pay for them as if there is gold flakes embedded in there somehow.

This place is hit and miss. Sometimes the food is good and sometimes not. I usually go there for breakfast. The service is the same. Depending on which server you get. The place is busy on weekends. I had eggs country potatoes. The country potatoes use to be really good. Lately, they haven't been cooked all the way. Now, I put my coffee cup in front to get another serving. Or otherwise, the server doesn't come back around.

The food was okay. I had the chicken and waffles. Small portions for half a chicken. The wing was so small it wasn't edible. They did correct it and gave me another winget, but it was under cooked.

The food was okay I had a Reuben which had the best corned beef on it but it's a strange Ruben because it hardly had any sauerkraut, maybe about a tablespoon, and it had no thousand Island or any sauce of any kind, or any cheese. The potato salad was pretty good. The service left a lot to be desired and it took us a while to get the waitresses attention when we wanted to leave and pay the bill. They were somewhat busy but the place was maybe half full. I probably wouldn't go back

The restaurant is easy to locate, and it has a parking lot, where it is lack of maintenance. Their service is ok. Food is ok too but the quantity is bit less than other similar restaurants in Alameda. If you live in the surrounding area, worth to try it. Otherwise it is not worth to drive from far away.

Walked in and waiter and manager just stared at me. No one in line, only a few people eating at 2:30. Apparently they had better things to do like count money and organize napkin rings. Manager asked what I wanted, I said I'm not sure is there a menu? He pointed to an area with newspapers, napkins, and other parafenelia. When I was ready to order it was an inconvenience to ring me up. Asking if it was to go or here, I said for here, and they both recoiled in shock saying oh sit anywhere. I'll look on the way out but pretty sure there's not a sign saying that and they for sure didn't ask. Not a great way to greet customers. Guess from the other reviews they already have a loyal following and don't need to impress. 11$ sandwich is toast, hamburger, cheese, onion. No silverware or napkin - had to track mine down, empty ketchup, filthy floors.
