"For the same $$ as McDonalds, I can have soup, salad and a delicious entree-- in this case meatloaf with mushrooms, bacon and gravy, veggies and potatoes. Norms continues to be bargain in a world of overpriced mediocre fast food. (Not that Norm's is fine dining, but it's good, solid comfort food."

"For starters this was VERY generous portion of ravioli. I got the Arrabbiata sauce which I normally use for my sauce when making pasta at home but having it made in house - it was so spicy !! In a good way. I added mushrooms which they were very generous with those as well. Huge mushrooms. It was great. The cannoli was generous as well. Cream was very fresh. "
