This is hands down my go to place for a good steak. I've never had a bad meal here! My steak was a little underdone and I told the waiter after I'd eaten it (I was too hungry to wait), then he surprised us by bringing dessert for two on the house!! Wonderful place and often catch up here for birthdays or general catch ups with friends.
I've come here a few times, and every time I've been served by Jarred, one of the bartenders. He is no doubt the best bartender I've ever had. He remembers conversations we've had and is a really nice bloke. He has learnt my favorite drinks and does a good mix of drinks. I will use this bar as my casual because of Jarred alone. Cheers for the good times.
Dine here at night and you won't be disappointed. The ambience is welcoming and comforting in accompaniment with the food. The steaks are well selected, fresh and cooked to your taste. Everything here is well balance. A nice quality steak with nothing to fault.
They say they’re the worst vegetarian restaurant in town and that’s true. But they do surely serve the best Steak around.
This place is our monthly must go one for its steak, baked potatoes and the beer garden vibe. Love it.
Came here last December, the place was packed with people celebrating Christmas, thus the rather slow service.
Ordered a bunch of different meat cuts, including the rump and eye fillet. All of them were cooked perfectly as ordered. Unfortunately, some of the meat cuts were tough to cut and hard to chew. The sides including the chips, the potato mash, baked potato, and the salads were tasty. The mushroom sauces and pepper were perfectly seasoned too.
It was an okay experience. Would definitely choose the meat cut properly when I come back here.
Amazing Steak, Bloody Mary oysters a must, table clearing was a bit slack & a couple of minor stuff ups with meals but they shouted us all a round of drinks to make up for up, so overall a really good night out. Highly recommend.
This is my favourite restaurant, the menu suits me oyster entree the meat always perfect and the bread rolls only add to how perfect the menu is, not once in the 12 plus years has there been a bad meal bad service, I have attended the cooking class thanks Guys for being the best restaurant for me.
Came for dinner because our aunty was wanting to eat steak. This place definitely does steak, with lots of different cuts to choose from.
After getting seated, you look through the menu and when you're ready to order you head up to the counter to order. The steaks come with salad/veges and chips/potato, as well as a sauce. After ordering you get a buzzer which will go off when you're order is ready. You have to pick it up yourself from the pick up counter.
Food was nice but I thought it lacked seasoning. It was cooked well though. Sides were also nice and the meals all came with a bread roll. Portions were fairly large. Nice place for a steak but it was a bit pricey.
Came here for Valentines dinner with my family. Thank you for wonderful service and more importantly, great food. The wagu steak was worth the extra money. Loved the pot of mussels we shared too. Bread rolls are sooo soft and delish! Can’t wait to return :)
The Norman is out go-to family catch up spot in Brissy. There’s something for everyone - the usual steak options as well as a few fun alternatives like pork ribs and pasta. There’s plenty of large tables and air-conditioned inside options as well. Quality is always great and while I would like to see a rustic style coleslaw rather than the bulk fast-food type they serve these days, the protein is the real hero here. Our fave dishes? The Rib Fillet and the Pork Ribs.
Food - 4.5
Great steak, tasteless chips and mediocre salad & Idaho potato. Was a bit surprised by the bread in a plastic packet but it tasted good enough.
Took away 0.5 points because I think it's overpriced.
Subtracted a further 0.5 points because the chairs were ridiculously uncomfortable. There were around four different types of chairs, and we got the type with the metal windings on the back and slats on the seats (see photos). The metal dug into my back and the seat was hard and uncomfortable - for some reason, only a few of them had cushions...
Equal to best steak I’ve ever eaten. I’ve tried most Norman steaks, never been disappointed. And without doubt the best pork spare ribs Brisbane has to offer. Good range of beers on tap, and very good wine menu. Only complaint, outside seats not that comfy.
Steak, chips, baked and mashed potato are always cooked to perfection. Even the bread, sauces, garden salad and coleslaw doesn’t disappoint. Consistency always exists here. Service is fast and up high in standards; staffs are always responsive and willing to fix your complaints promptly (over/undercooked steak, wrong sides etc).
Fabulous steak! Had Sunday lunch there with my husband and the place was buzzing.
Food ordered at the counter and drinks via a QR code. Drinks arrived very quickly and the food followed soon after. There were plenty of staff around to cater for the number of people there and the kitchen staff just worked non-stop like a well oiled machine.
I had the NY cut striploin with mustard bernaise, chips and salad. Everything was fresh and delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. My husband had the rib on the bone, coleslaw and baked potato with bacon. We shared a side order of onion rings which completed the meal.
Can't wait to go back.
Great atmosphere, amazing selection of beef on display , had the wagyu rump . Very tasty , bit slow to serve was moderately busy , 1:30 pm on a Friday , nice selection of drinks , would happily recommend for non vegans ,
What keeps me returning with family and friends across three decades? Quality and consistency. And I always seem to order the large eye fillet. It just can’t be beaten. I spiced it up this time with a sausage and chilli sauce entree and finished it off perfectly with a few schooners of XXXX.
