Dining Guide

Norma’s Cafe

Arriving on the cusp of breakfast and lunch, we went with an old-fashioned blue-plate special: a platter of Texas-style meat loaf, black-eyed peas, glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, and a big fluffy roll. The mile-high pies are spectacular; we’re particularly fond of the coconut cream. The service is friendly, and the fifties decor always lifts our spirits.
