    Sorry but I gotta be honest. To start, the food it was terrible. We ordered steak, it was overcooked and had no flavor.👎👎👎 It was like eating a shoe. The chicken wings were as hard as stone 🗿. And the bathrooms smelled very bad 🤢💩. Its almost like they've never cleaned them. SIZZLER you need to hire people who can actually cook, not people who can just microwave stuff. The floors are a mess, and it was super crowded which made it hard to even walk around. I would not go back there.

    I have not eaten here or at any sizzler in years. I remember growing up, this is one of the places we would go to eat after church on Sunday. Not this location in particular, but the one that is now currently in n out. Stepping into this place was like stepping into a time capsule. Nothing much has changed. One of the main things different is that you can now get your own drink. They have a soda fountain machine next to the salad bar. The walls and the trim looked like the same original light brown with green trim. The salad bar tastes as amazing as I remembered. My typical go-to is the clam chowder soup, chicken wings, nachos, and a soft serve for dessert. For the chicken wings, you have to order it with the waitress. I was just trying to look online for the menu, and some of the stuff I ordered was not even on there. I will try my best off of memory 1. Steak and shrimp (upgraded steak to a ribeye, and the sauce for the shrimp tasted like the orange chicken from Panda Express) - steak was good and the shrimp was nice and crunchy. 2. Fish and chips - surprisingly, this was good. Never had it from here, but the fish was nice and crispy. Not all batter. The fries were really good as well. 3. Mega bacon burger - Definitely a good size, and the burger was juicy and tasty. 4. Shrimp linguini - First time trying this, and it was delicious as well. My cousin found this a little salty, but to me, it tasted perfect. Perfect amout of sauce and the pasta was al dente. Our waitress was amazing. She constantly checked on us and kept the soup bowl and plates coming for the salad bar. Not just that, she kept the cheesy toast coming as well. It's the first time in a while that we had such good service. I honestly was so happy with everything that I can not wait to come back.

    I ordered my steak rare and received it med-well done. The steak looks like it was cooked in a cast iron pan. There were minimal grill marks on the meat. See photos. I thought the meat was suppose to sizzle in the flame, hence the name Sizzler. The fries were also well done and unappealing. Carrots did not look clean. The ribs were over cooked as if it’s been sitting under a heat lamp for days. The waiter was excellent in customer service. The food was simply atrocious.

    Great experience! Salad bar was fresh and orderly! Waiter was awesome always checking on us. Entrees we made quick and hot! What more can you ask for. In out done and satisfied. Waiter even brought out a big bowl of fried shrimp for us to take home! Never been to a Sizzler that done that. Tipped very generously for the service! Waiter was very appreciative! A wonderful refreshing experience for the entire family!

    Tonight I had Sizzler's salad bar ($14) and a ice tea ($3). You have to wear the supplied gloves if you want to use the salad bar. As far as lettuce and toppings selection goes, it wasn't bad. I liked how they had the fancy stuff like kale lettuce and baby corn. It did lack regular salad toppings like almonds, apple, bean sprouts, edamame, oranges and yellow corn. For the hot stuff, they had a selection of four soups. The clam chowder is my favorite. Chicken wings are no longer available. They did have chicken nuggets and little corn dogs. The weird thing was, they had all the ingredients (beans, rice, shredded lettuce, taco meat) to make a taco, but I couldn't the tortillas. It was right next to the pasta station. I can't imagine anyone adding beans and shredded lettuce onto their pasta. They also have premixed salads like crab salad, egg salad, potato salad and tuna salad. Those were terrible. I enjoyed the beets and romaine salad I made way more. Another complaint is the salad dressings are not labeled. Hint, the one on the right is ranch. Not blue cheese.

    The menu never changes so I always know what I want if I eat here. As the years go by quality and service dropped and it's time to get rid of the resturant. Why pay for soup and salad when you already know the waiter will give you extra plate . Free is always good but to run a business this is not something you want happing if your the owner. Let's put a taste in your mouth Sizzlers💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 IF SHE LOOKS DIRTY OUTSIDE HOW DOES IT LOOK INSIDE🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 CLEAN UP OR SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!

    Hard to find a Sizzler these days. It's a tradition that goes way back to my childhood. This one appears to be doing well. It was after a busy weekend and they were out of some sides. Service was good. Shrimp & steak were better than I expected, and better than some previous visits to other locations. Keep on sizzling!

    I have been coming here for long time. The prime rib is the best for $25 and the salad is ok not bad for the price. Maybe too much traffic the buffet area most of the time is messy, but is understandable

    The food (salad bar) LOOKED appetizing but 90% of the contents looked like it had been sitting out all day. Their Italian/Mex stuff looked nasty, so I passed on trying it. Half the soups looked crusted over. I tried the freshest looking, which was a decent clam chowder. The veggie soup was nasty. The traditional salad items were decent. The lemon wedges were all old looking and hadn’t been stocked for a few hours I’m sure. The premade salads like pasta, coleslaw, etc were tasteless and not worth a second bite. This is the vagabond’s poor version of Outback Steakhouse. You’re better off going somewhere else! The place itself is nice enough. A little grubby feeling, though.

    Cashier was amazing and VERY helpful. Manager, NOT so much.. I placed an order to go, I asked how long wait for 6 shrimp, cashier said about 5 minutes, Manager chimed jn, and said ACTUALLY 25 minutes. AND actually arm bumped cashier when she said she could check actual wait for me...

    I may be an exception to the rule but I've always loved sizzlers. malibu chicken and unlimited salad bar are always delicious. is it the best food I've ever had? no. but its a solid choice and you can always find something you'll like.

    My old pal Tail Gunner spends his time there in Colma and every year about this time I take him a bottle of his favorite hooch and poor it on his grave, he asked me for this favor the day before he left, so I just do it. Gunner's favorite restaurant was Sizzler probably because it's full of old people eating dinner at 3pm, so I always stop there and eat a meal with the Gunner, it's always a 5 star meal. ☆☆☆☆☆

    I was craving steak, so I ordered a ribeye for lunch. Much to my disappointment, the steak want tender at all, and was full of gristle. I'll take a guess they don't use AAA beef. The mashed potatoes weren't great either. 🙁 The price was decent, though; but I should have known "you get what you pay for".

    Went yesterday for dinner around 630pm. Only two men on staff taking care of the dinner crowd. Waited over 25 minutes to get our drinks. The food arrived cold and zero flavor. Never again. It's been a while since I'd been to a Sizzler I was reminded why I shouldn't go ahead. There isn't a valid reason why our food was cold. If a restaurant is under staff that's a management problem and should never be a customer's problem. I also want to know why are we require to tip before receiving the service. I was under the impression that a tip is based on an over all service experience. If the service, and food is great I tip great if not what's the tipping for? That needs to change.

    The salad bar had a horrible presentation. Salad dressings were spilled into other salad dressings. The crab salad was soaked in mayo to the point where you could hardly see the crab. The handles of some serving utensils were left inside the containers. Food was all over the floor. There was no chicken or soup. The spaghetti noodles were soaked in dirty looking water and the sauce was watered down. There were hardly any customers. Therefore it was no excuse for the lack of cleanliness. I refused to eat there so I returned my unused plate, glass and utensils and got my money back.

    Now that covid protocols are over, dining here is much better. Unlimited salad bar is back and consistently filled. Full staff is working, energetic, and friendly. Food presentation is better than pandemic times. It was fun to be back!

  • 5/5 Jerrell S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Sizzler is always a hit. I’ve never been disappointed with the food or staff. I’ve even forgot to make reservations on one particular occasion for a party of 14 and was accommodated rather quickly. The hostess taking the orders was friendly, precise and very patient with the children. Kudos to this location!

    Haven't been back to this place since the pandemic. It was nice, clean and our server Liliana was great. Salad bar had everything fresh and I think because we were like the first patrons there which they open at 10:30am. We ordered the Baby back ribs and Shrimp Linguine with salad bar. They no longer put the fried chicken wings out at the salad bar but will bring you a basket of it at a time just like they do their cheese bread. I wanted to eat there because of the clam chowder but this time it didn't taste the same which was disappointing....it was watery. As for service Liliana accommodated our needs the entire time we dined. She was amazing.
