On Wednesday, June 26, the iconic Dallas diner Norma’s will celebrate 68 years since its original location opened. To commemorate the occasion, the diner is rolling back prices to the 1950s: Customers can enjoy a plate of chicken-fried steak or a slice of birthday cake for just $1.85 each ($2 with tax).
All proceeds from the day will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters Greater Dallas, the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring nonprofit. This charity holds special meaning for Norma’s Cafe owner, Ed Murph. In the 1950s, Murph was mentored by World War II veteran Bill Barnett. In the 1980s, Murph gave back by mentoring several children through the program and even served as best man for one of them.
“Wonderful memories and lifelong friends were made in that experience,” Murph says. “We are so proud to partner with such a terrific organization.”
All five of Norma’s full-service locations (North Dallas, Frisco, Park Lane, Plano, and the original on Davis Street in Oak Cliff) will offer the anniversary promotion for dine-in guests on Wednesday, June 26. The Norma’s to-go location in Garland will have the $1.85 promotion for walk-up/pick-up service.
Join Norma’s Cafe in celebrating this milestone and enjoy a nostalgic dining experience while supporting a worthy cause.
