What to Know

  • 75th anniversary of NORMS Restaurants
  • Enjoy 75-cent hotcakes on National Hotcake Day; Sept. 26 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; "limit two orders per customer"; good for dine-in, take out, and ordering online
  • The popular diners are also launching special "throwback" menu items Sept. 25; enjoy Pork Chops & Eggs and other savory staples through Jan. 8, 2025

This is the exact way we want to head into the first full weekend of fall: Happy and full of delicious hotcakes, the kind of famous flapjacks that are synonymous with a classic Southern California restaurant.

And if those hotcakes happen to be priced at 75 cents as a tasty, money-saving homage to a major milestone, the experience will surely be as sweet as a delicious drizzle of syrup.

It so happens that the final Thursday in September 2024 is National Pancake Day — or National Hotcake Day, if you prefer — and NORMS Restaurants will mark the day with a plate of 75-cent hotcakes.

What's the deal about this deal? The restaurant chain, a stick-to-the-ribs SoCal treasure known for hearty and yummy fare, is marking its 75th anniversary.

But the customer-directed "thank yous" won't end after National Hotcake Day concludes.
