Norma's Cafe is Dallas' best diner

Go to Norma's. Get the pie.

I know there are several spots in DFW that people swear by when it comes to diner food. I won't name them, because I personally think they are horrendous - especially the outrageously over-priced one on Oak Lawn(you know who you are).

Granted, TheKiddo™ and I are fans of breakfast at the Original Market Diner - http://www.originalmarketdiner.com - but the comfort food and pies at Norma's Cafe - http://normascafe.com - are sublime.

With portions large enough to make you check your waistband, and prices low enough to make you check your eyesight, Norma's Cafe is simply outstanding.

TheBetterHalf, TheKiddo and I highly recommend the fried pickles and chili-cheese fries as appetizers (but don't order both unless you have a horde to feed). And I've not found a better chicken fried steak anywhere. I've even tried to convince some food snobs it's a must-have (though none have acquiesced as of this writing).

Save room, or make some room, for the sky-high pies. They are as delicious as they are daunting. In fact, the pie alone is worth a trip to Norma's Cafe.

Next time you want some food that is big on taste, comfort and value, but low on pretense, grab some grub at Norma's Cafe. Fair warning: Consider wearing something with an elastic waistband when you do.
