We come here to celebrate my mother. Food is average and steaks are a little below average. I typically get the steak (medium rare) and ayce shrimp. When I get my food, the steak is cooked well done. The service is great though. Staff are always very nice.

This is the best place to boost your energy with a freshly prepared Sizzler's salad bar. They are offering it since 1970's and are still in business. According to their website majority of the items are non-GMO. And, i believe them, because after eating at this restaurant, i do not feel sick or tired. In contrary, i feel very energetic and i do not need to test myself for food allergies. Also, all you can eat salad bar has more then just salad. There are soups, meats, beans, ice creams and much more. They offer 3 kinds of soups made from scratch. Staff members are alert, helpful and quick in your needs.They always bring you extra plate in no time. For seniors there are some discounts. The place was not crowded at all which is a big surprise for me. For the same amounts of food you eat here, you might have to pay double elsewhere. The price is higher in other places because other places include in your bill a fee for renting chair and table. Not here!! Come here soon!!!

I enjoyed the salad bar It's all you can eat (Salad+crunchy Taccos and Icecream) for $16 (including tax) which is fair. The quality of salad is good and I liked the soup also. *The only thing that can make this a better salad bar is to have more variety of fruit and veggies, like I enjoy oranges, pineapple and Brussel sprouts and cabbages and etc also if they could have it*

Arrived at 5:45 pm and was seated within 15 minutes, but did sit receive our food till well after 7 pm. Appetizer plates were dirty and when I brought it to the server’s attention they brought more dirty and wet plates. The menus were sticky, the table was sticky, my drink was not made well, and some of our food was served cold. Needless to say if you are driving by or coming from the Bay Do Not waste your $$ and stop here! Staff was barely attentive at best, definitely would not describe them as rude, but not friendly!

The food was terrible! The cantaloupe and watermelon didn't even taste like fruit, more like cardboard. The mini corn dogs were cold and I couldn't even bite into one, it was so hard. They cleared our table when we went to the salad bar, after we had set down full bowls of soup and had our drinks there. The girl didn't speak English but she tried to apologize, it wasn't that big of deal. Even the ice cream bar, the brownies were rock hard. U can go to Golden corral and get about 175 more food choices for less money. Will NEVER go to this sizzler again

Steak was too tough. Tried to chew but it just expanded as I tried to chew it. Shd have sent it back. Not editable. Malibu chicken looked ok but did not eat it there. Brought it home with leftover baked potato. .

First time ever and it was good. Our waiter was pleasant and smiled a lot. The food server staff was helpful when I asked for items. Front register lady was helpful as well guiding me to aid in choices. Will be going back.

Took my senior mother and 7 year old child here as a treat before my sons school recital Friday Dec 13 24. At about 5:30 it took 15 mins for us to get seated due to slow cashiers. When we did finally get to the front I kept having to have the cashier repeat what he was saying because he was speaking so quietly I couldn’t hear him. Ordered our food and it took 5 minutes to get the drinks and tray. Sat down and let my mom and son have at it while I watched our stuff. My son comes back with a heaping plate of bow tie pasta salad. He takes one bite and says it’s nasty and had to give it to a server to get another plate. Once I got up to get my own food I began assembling my nachos, and when I went to put the jalapeños on top I was shocked that the consistency of them was like mush. I figured maybe I was tripping and put them on my plate anyway hoping they would be normal when it’s time to eat. They were not. I don’t know how long those jalapeños had been there or been recycled from previous days but never in all of my days have I EVER had a mushy mashed potato texture jalapeño. All of this coupled with the fact the food ran right through my poor mother solidified that we will never return here. Gross and do not recommend the salad bar at all.
