We were excited to try this place when they opened back up during the pandemic. We unfortunately didn’t make it until last night when my mom was in town and wanted to try them also.We sadly won’t be back.The service was hit and miss. Walked in to no greeting, no sign letting us know to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. They had one server who looked like she was also bartending. Some blond chick was dressed as an employee but she was too busy chatting and tossing her hair around a big group of guys and a few women outside and playing with the bingo lady’s toddler. She was of no help to the restaurant inside. Our server was alright, she looked like she was working twice as hard to keep people taken care of. She definitely wasn’t super friendly though and only came by for drinks and food.We ordered nachos and the meat was disgustingly salty and overcooked and dry. There is no chicken option, only ground beef and the seasoning ruined it. We barely ate half of them as it was just too salty. The seasoning needs cut with another product or just ditch it altogether.I ordered the club sandwich, it was good but the side salad left a lot to be desired. They threw the 5 small green pieces on top and everything below it was white. I picked through it all looking for edible salad leaves and got nothing. Should have taken a pic at the end of what the salad really looked like.I get that prices are lower than other places we go to, but whyyyy use iceberg lettuce? It’s bland, no flavor and negligible on nutrition. My club sandwich had nice leafy lettuce or Romaine on it but my salad was a plate of all white “lettuce” with a few green pieces in there. Had one bite and couldn’t eat it, I don’t know if it’s their way of cutting costs or if they always serve iceberg as the salad. Either way I’d rather pay a couple bucks more to eat a real salad.

Went for their taco Tuesday. Tacos were okay, simplistic. You can make better at home. Terrible service. There were only 2 servers who also had to tend the bar. The only open tables were ones that were dirty and hadn't been bussed. It took them over 30 minutes just to get us our drinks. We ordered half hard tacos and half soft tacos, but the unapologetic server just brought us all soft tacos. Definitely not a place I'll be going to again.

Great food n service! Thank you!

Fun place. Great drinks. Good place to have a bite and some shots. Pretty fun atmosphere. Pretty busy when I was there but we got our drinks and food when we needed. Definitely coming back. Very fair pricing I felt.

Great breakfast today. Sausage scramble and chicken fried steak.

We went into Stormin Normans on a Tuesday night around 9:00 PM. The place was clean, well staffed and everyone was very friendly. The outdoor patio was our favorite part of the visit. It had a large fireplace in the middle, tall privacy fences with portholes and a good view of the sky. We didn't get there until after the kitchen had closed but they were still serving from a small menu of fried foods. The house fries were FANTASTIC. Drinks were affordable, the environment was fun, the staff was kind and well trained. Highly recommend!

Great bar, can't hear the music very well and it was super packed though so it was loud. Great energy and friendly patrons I might add. Took a while to get a drink as there was only two bartenders, my hats off to those ladies working back there!

Storming Norman's IS AWESOME!! The waitresses are right there to help you. The drinks and food is very good. On Wednesday they have live music ? and the Special is Meatloaf & scalloped potatoes and sauted baby carrots ? ?Yum. Oh and NO I and my family don't know the owners we just know Awesome service and good food and NOT watereddown drinks. We love the patio with the ? Pit you can sit around and smoke.What more could you ask for !!!

Finally made it to this place. Nice outside area with lots of seating, some cover, nice size fire pit with bar stools around to enjoy the warmth. Inside lots of beverages to choose from, lots of open seating, good size menu choices, decent prices and TV's...... Good handful of TV's!. My friend says the men's bathrooms were quite interesting ?, women's not so much. There's paintings on the ceiling that reflect being around the water, nicely done.... Can only imagine the artist's back and arm pain when they were finished. Good food, different style fries. Had 2 entry doors, one facing Trent the other kind tucked around the corner towards the back side. First time being there, sat in my car to scope out where the doors were. Service was a bit slow but maybe it was because it was a Sunday (Saturday night recoup and all).

Great food. Great little place.
