About the Business

Specialties

Norma's Cafe is a Dallas home-cooking institution, founded in 1956. Norma's Cafe serves up hot, fresh and delicious savory home-styled meals, with a sinfully Southern flare, that are sure to make your mouth water. We have won numerous awards for our menu but some of the most popular dishes for breakfast are our breakfast tacos, Country breakfast with chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken and then of course, the Ol' Number 7 which won Dallas Observer's "Best Hangover Cure". Plus breakfast is served all day, every day! If you're here for lunch or dinner, we of course recommend our Chicken Fried Steak, Smothered Pork Chops or any of the burgers (the Mac & Cheese Burger is a real standout)! We also have a variety of daily specials included entrees, soups, vegetables, side dishes and desserts. Plus no meal is complete at Norma's without a slice of Mile High Cream Pie! Yahoo Travel named our pie the best in Texas! So remember, "Life is Short, Eat Dessert First"!! When Norma's Cafe isn't focusing on great customer service and homemade dishes, we are turning our attention to local schools, nonprofits and charities to make a difference within our neighborhood. Each month honors a different organization and we are proud to support our community.

History

Established in 1956.

Norma's Cafe is a Dallas home cooking institution. Founded in 1956, Norma's Cafe serves up hot, fresh, and savory home-style meals, with a sinful Texan flare, which are sure to make your mouth water. The original location has been operating in Oak Cliff for more than 60 years. Norma's has now expanded to locations in Addison, Frisco, Plano and Park Lane & 75 in Dallas. Norma's Cafe is the rare type of cafe that one can stop by for a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a full-on family meal and leave equally satisfied. Norma's Cafe staples include big breakfasts, characterized by fluffy biscuits and gravy, satisfying dinners with award-winning chicken fried steak, and homemade, Mile-High Cream Pies™ for dessert. Norma's Cafe is the one, the only, the original.

Meet the Business Owner

Business owner information

Ed M.

Business Owner

It all started in 1956 from a small Texas storefront in the Oak Cliff neighborhood just outside downtown Dallas along historic US Highway 80. With a menu that reminds you of home and servers who know you by name, Norma's Cafe began welcoming hungry guests from across the D/FW Metroplex with its Texas comfort food.Owner and Cafeteur Ed Murph likes to put it this way, "We make more than great comfort food; we make great friends and memories."And he should know. As a boy growing up in Oak Cliff, Ed used to eat at Norma's Cafe. He made some friends, loved the food and created many memories. He loved it so much that he bought the place nearly 30 years ago from Norma herself. Today, the Norma's Cafe tradition stays the same - just like Ed and so many like him from Dallas remember.
