My friend and I went accidentally on senior Wednesday and got 10% off of an absolutely delicious breakfast.

This morning, we had breakfast at Norm's Kitchen at 478 Larkfield Center, Santa Rosa, CA. We arrived early and managed to beat the crowds, which was a great start to the day. I ordered the pork chops with sunny-side-up eggs and a side of bacon and avocado. The breakfast was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast experience, and if we’re in the area again, we will return. I highly recommend it for a hearty and satisfying start to your day!

Excellent small town diner. Amazing food with an old school/Norman Rockwell type vibe. Best breakfast in the area, and great lunch, too!

Best breakfast in the area. Always good service. Only criticism is the ham steak. It was good but thin and a little dry. I would not order it again.

Cute little diner in a strip mall serving American classic breakfasts and lunch. The service is great, food delicious and reasonable prices. The homemade salsa is excellent!
