    Great for dogs

    This is a good place to go if you have a dog. The outdoor seating is expansive and the tables are far away from each other to not cause problems between dogs. Now…on to the food. My wife order nachos. Incredible! Very tasty ingredients. But the chips were not slathered with cheese…like most places. Instead, they were just in the rest of the food. Not a big deal…just different. I had a melted cheese sandwich which, I’m sure, would’ve been nice, but I got to eating their fries that the sandwich got cold. So, their fries are fabulous! Crispy on the outside and nice on the inside. Service was good. We would recommend it.

    Nice & friendly atmosphere!

    Friendly staff, good food! Really enjoyed the French dip sandwich. Our dog was greeted with a smile and a bowl of water!

    Good food

    We ate lunch twice at Norton’s during our visit. Both times we had out pups and sat outside in the deck. The staff and other diners were very friendly. The first time I had a salad and was a bit on the small side but tasty. The next time I had the blackened grouper Reuben and it was fantastic! Highly recommend it! Both times I ordered unseasoned burger patties for the pups! Definitely recommend Norton’s!

    Horrible

    went there this evening with my service dog and was accosted by another patron. wanted to fight my husband and even followed us out the door. I am so upset and embarrassed. no manager on duty. it’s fast enough to travel with a service animal 24/7 without someone being a jerk!

    They brought out a water bowl for our girl and asked to pet her. She had a great time and recommends the nachos!
