Norma`s Nortd Star Cafe in Jacksonville

This little off the square cafe was very "homey" feeling -- filled with what I think were locals. That's how I knew I was in the right place -- ALWAYS try to find where the locals go, they know who has the best food! I was not disappointed. What i was super impressed with was that their staff knew SIGN LANGUAGE! a group of deaf patrons was there and their waitress was signing to them. I am not deaf, but I gave an extra star on my review simply because I appreciate it that they take the time to make ALL their customers feel welcome!

The place was packed but the waitress was very efficient and really hustled. She kept us informed about what was happening and apologetic about the food items they were out of. We will definitely go back.

So much great food, affordably. Wonderful, friendly waitresses. And Owner, Norma, is a beautiful, hospitable lady who cares about her employees and customers alike. Breakfasts at Norma's is the the absolute best, in my opinion! Try a veggie omelet . Yummm!

Breakfast is excellent. I recommend the breakfast ponyshoe. Reasonable prices.

I totally love this place. You can get a great meal at a great price. All the waitresses are very kind and I almost always see someone that I haven't seen for a long time!! It's great.

This is a wonderful place. Locally owned by a great family.

Cheap, absolutely delicious breakfast! Friendly staff. Homey. Reminds me of Grandma's kitchen.

My husband and I came here for the first time for Sunday breakfast. Food & coffee is good. Service was good. Place is friendly and clean. Hopping place on a Sunday morning. Just as an FYI... they do not take credit or debit cards

Always friendly fast service feels like sitting at home with large group of friends and family. Norma always comes to your table to say hi. Eat there alot love the food and great service.

Very good food allways.

Normas has the best home town food in town by far, love them all there!!!

The waitress was unfriendly and treated us like we were a bother. Had to ask for drink refills multiple times. Buffalo fish and macaroni and cheese had no flavor. Catfish and vegetable soup were delicious. Have been there before and all the food was good and staff very friendly. Not tonight though. Might be awhile before consider returning.

Really good food. Neat environment to look at. Lots to take in. Warm environment. Old time feel. I love it

The food is delicious! I had a ribeye steak and baked potato. It was perfect! I am waitresses were great too.

If you are looking for good home cooked meals, friendly staff, and the the best fresh made pies, desserts in town, then Norma's North Star Cafe.is the place to be in downtown Jacksonville! . try it, you will like it too. Thanks Norma for the privilege of your friendship these past 50 years.

Great food! Friendly staff! The catfish sandwich and the coconut cream pie were delicious!

Good food. Friendly service. Great prices. 😁

Good food. Place was full of locals. Everything was perfect except...while our server repeatedly refilled the coffees at our table she ignored my empty iced tea thru to the end.

This restaurant has home style cooking and daily specials. The hours are really long. You can get an early breakfast with plenty to choose from. It also serves lunch and supper. You can order steaks or shrimp as well as hamburgers, etc. The food was above average. I almost gave it a 4 star rating, however, the restaurant is rather dark and dreary. The carpet looked to be quite dirty and in need of replacement. The bathroom was adequately clean. The atmosphere was one of nostalgia. Parking was kind of hard to find.

Excellent home cooking!

Very good food . Prices are fair also.Norma is always friendly

Service is not very good

This is a really great atmosphere. Everyone there was so friendly. I will definitely be back.

Good food, great service !!!

Good home town place. Food like grandma makes. Daily specials. Pleasant wait staff.

Awesome place delicious cobbler!

I'm out here for a while for work and found this place on the internet and absolutely Love this place. The service and food was everything I remembered from a small town DINER growing up and the prices were more than fair and affordable. Thank you Norma's Star for staying true and Blue...Red...White and Blue that is.

Look the spot is a lil shabby..BUT FOLKS the food they serve here is amazing..went early afternoon..packed house...not a secret i guess...gooooooo here....

Great food most of the time and the servers are very nice but sometimes it take them a min to seat you busy or not.

Good home cooking. Great service. Food is Fab!! Nice family atmosphere.

Hometown spot great food!

Food is home style. I think the servers need to where a standard uniform.

Good food and friendly service!

Amazing food Everytime, Never a disappointment.

Good, home cooked food, Norma is always welcoming! 🤗

Great comfort food at great prices. Very friendly staff 👍👍

It's a family business so it's more personal, food is fresh and delicious, staff gets to know what you like, it's just overall a good comforting experience. Thanks for having my sweet tea when I come in Maria! 😊

Good food and lots of it, with super friendly service. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere. A great place for families.

Great diner. Good food, good portions, good prices, friendly staff. I will definitely be returning here next time I am in Jacksonville. They really made me feel at home and like family. I got the breakfast shoe, which was delicious and huge. The coffee was good. Each mug was completely unique, which I enjoyed tremendously.

Great place to eat and friendly staff.

Great service. I recommend
