I tried to work with them... I we ordered, I ordered a burger and asked for medium well. It was far under cooked. No big deal, mistakes happen. Waitress said she'd put it back on the grill.. I thought maybe she is new, the cook will catch it. Nope! They slapped my partially eaten burger back on the grill and... More

We quit going here when they raised prices and made the portions smaller. The food is good but not as good as other places in town for a smaller tab and great food and drink. We now go to Stella's.

I went to Norman's back when it first opened, but it's not the same anymore. They have a great beer selection, but it seems a bit run down. Burgers and beer are good, but the actual seating area is nothing to brag about.

Good food always busy but the wait is worth it. Friendly service good value. Wait staff has good insight into daily specials etc. You are apt to meet friends there if you live in the area.

Found this restaurant just off HWY 35, on our way north, right at Forest Lake. Very nice, cozy, and with a wonderful staff. Casual atmosphere, nice casual menu, and the food...WOW delicious!! Clean restaurant, great choices for food and beverages. We will be making this one of our regular "pit stops" on our monthly trips to this area.

We go here about once a month. The food is consistantly good. It is not great, but above average. It is loud enough in the restaurant that I did not have to worry about my 15 month old being screamy. Love the buns you get right away too. They kept our child busy!

We have eaten here a couple of times at midday, during the week, and really enjoyed it! The service is fast, and polite, and the menu offerings quite varied. My only complaint is the volume of the background music.

Nice place with good management. Food is always fresh and service is outstanding. Great place to pop into after 7 PM for appetizers and a well priced drink. Have been to the place many times and always great.
