I give up on Sizzler.I ordered the Steak and endless shrimp and Salad Bar. The steak was tough and tasted like an old cow.I could barely stand it. The steamed veggies were nearly raw and had no flavor. The shrimp was ok. As for the salad bar,this must be like the 5th time I've ate there that 10 minutes after my meal,I'm running for the restroom with bowel problems,but this only happens when I eat here. Salad bar food contamination,maybe? Check the shredded carrots,they were a frozen blob at the salad bar. Poor food standards,we deserve better than this. read more

Not impressed with the food. For $70, I was hoping my food would come out hot. My son's french fries were so gross that he didn't eat them. My husband's steak was bland. I packed up my steak and my son's chicken and brought it home. I'm will season it and cook it better. Everything tasted like it was a packaged microwave dinner. Again I spent $70 I was hoping better food , at least hot food. The salad bar was the only good thing we had. read more

I don't see anything special with their foods, but I am happy with Customer service. Im not sure about the name of our server, Ahmed or Ahmad. Even if we asked for a lot of things, he managed to still smile and joke around while serving us. read more

Haven't been here in over 15 years so I thought I'd give it a shot. Rude cashier, I pay for steak and shrimp plus salad bar. Damn near $30 for a tiny steak with shrimp and mediocre salad bar. Decent service with drinks refilled often. The real problem started the next morning and lasted almost a week. I only ate food at the sizzlers so I know it was the cause of my absolutely terrible bowel issues that persisted for days and almost led to me seeking medical treatment. Stay away from this Hayward location unless you want to get sick. read more

I've gone to this sizzler a few times over the past couple of months,usually when I feel like a good salad,as their salad bar is quite good and includes chicken wings,desserts,soups and other things. I don't order the steak as it always seems,at least to me,way too salty. What has really impressed me the most however is a server I've had a couple times named Sharon. She is always cheerful,and very efficient.. I've never had to ask for anything as she always anticipates my needs! I'm pretty sure she'd could make a lot more money at a regular restaurant,but I hope she never leaves because she makes my visits most enjoyable!! read more

I'm laughing so hard right now.... I ordered the steak and shrimp with French fries but what I received was garbage. I overlooked the fact that I had to wait 55 minutes for my food, only to receive cold ribs and steak but how disappointed i was to get home, ready to eat my French fries with my steak. INSTEAD I got mashed potatoes in a freaking bag and worst of all, the steak isn't medium rare like I asked it to be and just straight up bland! If we got Gordon Ramsey, he'd say "shut this place down!" read more

See all

This is the best Sizzler in the area. Ribs are solid and priced accordingly. Vanessa is the best. Their steaks are fine, I've heard people complain but came to the conclusion they ordered their steak well done(who does that(?)), lol. read more

Sizzler for something cheaper tonight Two eight oz steaks and two salad bars...33.60$ plus tip Dan is the man if you want a good server Best...clamchowder...toast Worst...baked potato...bleu cheese dressing Good value wo getting stuffed and robbed at blackangus read more

My wife and I went for dinner last night and were greatly disappointed. My wife ordered the shrimp scampi pasta and I ordered the "spicy" Cajun pasta with chicken. The shrimp in the scampi was cold and flavorless. Scampi is supposed to be sauteed in butter and garlic. This was frozen shrimp that had been boiled with no seasonings and no flavor. The pasta was.....just OK. The "spicy" Cajun pasta with chicken was anything but spicy. The spiciest thing in the pasta was onion that was uncooked. There was NOTHING Cajun about it. It tasted like pasta with a little bit of butter and parmesan cheese mixed in. The piece of chicken was tiny and was probably the most flavorful thing in the dish. One more thing........ when we asked for a to-go-container, we were brought three pieces of aluminum foil and a plastic bag as Sizzler doesn't have any containers for carry out. Last but not least...... It was not cheap! $40.00 for two people! Could have gone to Black Angus for that and had a much better meal. At least the server was a nice young man. read more

I recently went to the Sizzler's in Hayward and was impressed with their Salad Bar selection. They have a lot of good salad ingredients, along with selections in finger foods, spaghetti, taco, and soup. Not all Sizzler's have a good salad bar. I would come here again when I'm craving a healthy, light dinner. read more

Wow. I'm not sure if people here realize what a treat this place is. Our local sizzler (Maryland), closed down and left a hole in many hearts. After 20 years, I was able to relive my childhood and enjoy endless shrimp, a great salad bar, taco bar, soup bar, and ice cream. To top it off, the service was excellent. Never once did I have to track down our server for refills on sodas and shrimp. The manager came over and asked how we were enjoying ourselves. Do yourselves a favor and don't take this place for granted. One day you might wake up like me, wondering what I did to be forsaken to live a life without a local sizzler. read more

All you can eat salad bar is excellent! Great variety of toppings, soups and sides. Staff are really friendly. Serving staff are really attentive and would check on my family and I frequently for refills and other needs. Very happy with the food and service. Only down side was the chocolate pudding was not very good tonight, but over all I was happy. read more

This place Rocks!!! The salad is amazing, great assortment, everything from salad to deserts! Service is fast and friendly.

Was here with my family for the first time on 7/3/17. We sat in the area closest to the entrance and exit. Our server's name is JOSE and he was quite a disappointment. First off, we see him sweeping the floor next to our table but the floor was clean. We then realize that he was on his cell phone texting while working. At one point I needed plates and refill but he was no where to be found. I was able to flag him down from a distance away but he just gave me a quick glance and a look-away immediately. A couple of minutes later, I walk to the kitchen to ask for two plates and JOSE was standing there with another worker beside him. The other worker was about to hand me the plates but hesitates when JOSE, without even an apology, says he was going to bring me the plates instead. I says I waited for a long time already and JOSE responds, "as you can see, we are very busy", then walks away. What a great response. He's busy helping customers, but to him, I guess I'm not one. I then insist on getting the plates anyway and the other worker gave them to me. Back at my table, JOSE suddenly comes back to greet 3 new tables that were surrounding ours. He completely ignores us. I then walk up to the lady cashier with my soda cup to ask for a refill. I made a comment to the nice lady that I don't think our server will help us any longer. She was nice to refill my cup and then I ask her for our servers name. When I start to walk back to my table, the store manager shows up from behind me. I explain to him everything and he was nice and apologetic about the situation. I told him that at first it's not even a big deal, that I'm a very understanding person, but JOSE was personal with his response at the kitchen and then deliberately ignoring us while helping others who were directly next to our table. I think he picks and chooses who he thinks he could be rude too, but let's not elaborate further on that end of it cause then I'll probably be acting like him. But overall, the food was good. The clam chowder is my favorite, although, I'll probably be stopping at another sizzler after my experience with this one. I think JOSE is a very uneducated person to begin with, with no observational skills to handle even the simplest form of issues with customer service. I don't think he even understands that his job is about providing customer service. A simple apology, whether wrong or not, would have made both sides happy, a tip on the table, and away from a 1 star yelp. But he's got a real short fuse that snaps without even an overload. I can see why life is so tough for some individuals. I hope that his manager or even the corporate office can sit down and explain to him what this review is about. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants, but tonight changed my mind. I ordered fish and chips and 2 other dinners. The 2 dinners were okay. The fish and chips left a lot to be desired, not only was the fish burnt, it was also under cooked. It was a total disappointment. read more

TEAM WORK! It's amazing to watch the managers & staff work great together. Its the happiest team & the most pleasant atmosphere Ive ever been in. The salad bar is consistently stocked & my husbands steak cooked perfectly! I recommend coming here. You wont be disappointed . read more

I rarely go out for a steak. But, I must say, mine was perfection today! And, HATS OFF, to the chef. And, Hats off to the server who greeted me, and took my order. Which was Liz, and, also to Sharon the one who actually served me. They were all perfect. And, Sharon was so nice, didn't bug me to death. Just perfect. And, the food was soooo good! I even ate my entire potato. And, the cheese bread? Yes! The salad was like they just went out and picked it out of a garden, it was so fresh.. And, lastly, the atmosphere was perfect to. Clean tables, and, not so busy you couldn't breathe. 2 pm today. And, you can bet I'll be back. Thank you all, for a wonderful lunch! read more

Came in and tried ordering the "sirloin cuts" and cashier said they ran out of sirloin and for us to "pretend we never seen the sign"

It's our lucky night! Me and my husband went to eat dinner. We came at 7:05. We didn't realize the time that we have spent waiting for our food because we are busy browsing our pHones. We didn't even complain about the wait. The waiter was so nice and told us that we will get our money back plus the food we ordered. Isn't it nice? read more

They fixed this place up inside and out, but the food has not gotten better.( just more expensive) My son ordered Malibu chicken and steamed broccoli with all you can eat salad bar. He had a bowl of soup and made a salad. As soon as he started eating his salad our dinners came. That's one thing that really bothers me about this place. They give you very little time to eat your soup or salad. By the time he was done with his salad his food was not very hot. We asked for a box to take it home. The server comes back with two pieces of foil and a doggie bag for his whole untouched dinner. (what a joke) I don't go there often but every time I do they mess up on something. My friend ordered rice and she got vegs. Every time I order a steak it's over cooked and the shrimp are meh. Last but not least please, do not train someone during dinner time (5pm) to ring up orders. The poor guy didn't know what he was doing and we waited in line for over 15 mins to order. read more

I really enjoy this ghetto place lol...Cause they always give me the hook up holla if you hear me ....Naw Im kidding the staff are super funny and cool thats the only reason I come to get reasonable food at reasonable price and entertainment ...Only at the late night hour...But they really need to step their business game up if their trying to stay in business...Straight up read more

I'm always astounded when businesses think a few dollars are worth more than a whole group of customers. We ate here as guests of a friend. Had I not wanted to embarrass my host, I would have complained on the spot. The young lady at the register got our elderly host's order wrong, charging her for a side of fries instead of the shrimp she ordered (I heard the order placed, and so did others in our party). When our food arrived, our host was served a saucer of French fries while the rest of us received our meals. When the obvious nature of the mistake was pointed out, the server apologized and returned to the kitchen to correct the problem. Our host insisted that the rest of us go ahead and eat, so we did so slowly. Eventually, the correct meal was delivered...along with a demand that our host pay a $4.70 balance! She was obviously stunned, but a credit card was handed over and the server left. A few minutes later, the server returned, handed back the credit card, and said that the manager had said there would be no charge since it was their mistake. So far...so good. About ten minutes later, the young lady who made the original error at the register appeared at our table and demanded that the $4.70 difference be paid. We attempted to explain what the other server told us, but this lady assured us that the server who apologized had done so wrongly. So once again the credit card headed to the back, and this time a ticket came back for a signature and a receipt for $4.70 was handed over without so much as a comment. The original server then pretty much ignored us for the rest of the meal, to the point that we had to flag her down for carry out boxes and drink refills. The food wasn't all that great, but it didn't merit a bad review. But the service we received was nothing short of insulting. I will never willingly pass through the doors of this place again, and will share my opinion enthusiastically. If anyone who cares reads this, the date was 3/25/2016, and the $4.70 was rung up at 1:19 PM. read more

I was here on a Wednesday with a party of 20 or so. Well contrary to my expectations they out shined themselves. The waitress,Vanessa, was great. took our orders quickly and efficiently. Food arrivled quickly no mistakes. The cooks prepare the food to perfection and beautiful. It was tasty . (and remember you get what you pay for as far as quality of meats) This was good and cook to my medium rare. Salad bar was nice,fried chicken was good. everything fresh . So if you are feeling a little Midwestern give this place a try. read more

The other Sizzlers I've gone to have been crap. The quality here has been consistently good every time I've come here. This one also holds a special place in my heart. I've come here with my family so many times over the decades. It still looks the same to me as it did when I was a kid. This place will always remind me of family. There is a server here named Ahmad that was here when i was still in Kindergarten, practically 20 years ago. He's still goin and provides the best service I have ever experienced anywhere. This isn't a place you come to experience culinary artistry, but it always hits the spot. Their salad bar is good. The chicken wings are always a must. The endless shrimp and steak is also a default. There are times when you get a bad cut of steak, but I forgive them for that. There are also those times when you get the perfect cut that is cooked perfectly. here is to another 20 years and more! read more

Dude, I loved this place back in the back. If your parents said your goin to Sizzlers it was the best in the world. I would rather pay more and it be like it was. The buffet was once good. I will always love this place but from memory. I just want the old buffet back. And their ice cream is now more ice than cream. I give them one star because they forever tarnish my childhood memory. Their steaks are the only thing left that is any good. read more

Shannon is a excellent server she is some times by her self an gives me an my dad the best service an the music is jamming gota love Motown !!!! Food great read more

I love myself some Sizzler! I have been coming here for years since my family is a pretty big fan of this place. I love the new renovation and for the most part I've always received fairly good service here. Waiters are pretty friendly and service is pretty good. The salad bar could use a little updating once in a while, but it's kept pretty stocked the times I am there. The overall restaurant is kept pretty clean. This last visit left a sour taste in my mouth and I walked out of there not too happy! I had an issue at the register with a charge that the girl at the counter wasn't sure how to handle. She told me she had to page the Manager and ask about how to handle the situation. After paging the manager Cecilia for over 10 minutes, she finally showed up and instantly looked irritated that she had to come out of the back and do some work. She never once addressed me or even looked in my direction. She spoke directly to the girl at the counter and kept making the worst faces while talking down to her the whole time. She gave the girl an instruction and was speaking to her like I wasn't even standing right in front hearing the whole conversation. After a few minutes she was visibly in a bad mood and just said "no, charge her" and walked away, once again not speaking to me or even offering an explanation. As a Manager Cecelia, it's your job to be a problem solver and represent the restaurant in a good light. You did a terrible job! Drop the attitude, and dog face and do your job! You're allowed to have a bad day once in a while, but keep that nasty attitude out of the workplace. Sorry Sizzler, but I refuse to get treated like shit and give you my money in the process! You can blame Cecelia for that one! read more

The food here was ok at best. I ordered the baby back ribs and I found them to be dry , rubbery and flavorless. I asked to speak to the manager to get something else. The manager Gregory was very apologetic and asked what else I would like, he apologized again and promptly place my replacement order in. After he had left my wife pointed out that's what I order to replace the ribs was close to 9 dollars less to my surprise Gregory return with a receipt said he refunded us the difference without even being asked. The food wasn't the greatest but the service was better then I have received in some fine dining establishment. Kudos to Gregory and his excellent customer service skills read more

I am giving 5 Stars for Ahmad who has always taken such good care of us. No matter how long it's been since we've been in. Thanks for still be here!!! read more

the last few times i have been here. it hasn't been that great. last time i had to wait 25 minutes to get my drink refilled and a extra plate. time before that i was with a friend and literally we didn't get our food for about 40 minutes and the place only had about at the most ten people inside. used to be good but lately its been kind of sucky. read more

Can't believe what the lady at the front desk told me, my wife was not very hungry, so she said she would just share my steak with me, but the lady said that she could not share my meal with me. I guess this place is not as family friendly as I used to believe it was... read more

We chose Sizzler partly for the nostalgia (think: Cheesy Garlic Toast) and partly for the salad bar where we thought we'd find lots of options for our picky one year old. The salad bar was just not as big as I remember. There weren't too many options, and I didn't find many dishes I thought looked appealing. I ordered the Hibachi Chicken. The fries and toast were not even warm, and the chicken reminded me of something that might be served in a cafeteria, or nursing home. Most of the other diners were elderly, using their senior discount. It's not that I don't like or respect senior citizens, but don't our senses diminish over the years? So I make a pseudo-scientific observation... food doesn't have to taste that great if you can't taste it that great. I left feeling unsatisfied and a little ripped off. I wasn't expecting a five star dining experience, but I did atleast think I would get hot food. read more

My first time here and I loved it! The cashier was super nice and the waiter always checked up on us. I had the baby back ribs and I definitely recommend. My friend got the steak and lobster plate which I also recommend. You can also order the unlimited salad plate, like a buffet, and it's not just unlimited salad, they have dessert, tacos and soup which were delicious too. Definitely will be coming back here soon! read more

This location is good. I went here with my family and had a good time. I ordered the chicken strips & fries. I loved it. This location is a good one to go to. read more

The Manager there is very rude and his regional boss Mike takes up for his lack of customer service. How dare you think offering two salads would take the agony away from the "dinner from hell" while attending Sizzler in Hayward. I will not be back because that's just ridiculous giving people titles that they cannot uphold. A Manager should always put the customers first and offering exemplary service should be number one on their list. I WANT MY CHANGE BACK SINCE YOU KEPT THE CLAM CHOWDER AND MONEY &**^%$)(!!! read more

This place sucks !!!! The cook is a mess. At least the one that worked on 10/16/2015 in the evening . Like OMG I've had to deal with coming here at least once a year since I was a kid because some idiot would want there birthday here ! Ahmad the server is the only thing you can look forward to when coming here lol he's entertaining . But other than that everything is just horrible. There is never a time they don't mess up. If we need something specific done they always just switch everyone's plate around its just a mad house I'm good lol I JUST CANT anymore read more

I used to love going to Sizzler back in the 90's. We recently went to one in Yuba City and it was great so we thought we would find one closer to home...ugh...what a disaster. 1. The line was very long and instead of the manager opening up a second register, she just jotted down notes for the cashier to follow and ring us up. We were in line for almost 25 minutes. It shouldn't have taken that long with such a few amount of people in front of us. The people in line asked her name and she said she was the manager. They told her she had a rude attitude. She rolled her eyes and asked them to repeat their order. 2. I ordered the Malibu Chicken and a salad bar. The chicken was a square patty that had been frozen and reheated. It was like some McDonalds chicken nugget on steroids. It tasted awful. 3. The salad bar was missing several items and when it came time for desert, the ice cream machine wasn't working and they were out of all the other deserts. 4. The waitress kept reaching over the back of my booth to set things on the table. She basically scared the crud out of me over four times because I didn't know she was there. She kept forgetting to bring us straws, utensils, plates. Overall, the customer service was horrible, the food was less than okay and there was no desert. I'm a chocolate person. Chocolate could have made my life much better at that moment. I was a sad, chocolate deprived, mistreated customer. Me thinks I won't be going here again. read more

Three stars for the nice staff, the clean salad bar and the quick food! The floors and restrooms are really dirty and it is unappetizing. read more

Terrible service by a server named Amhad. My husband never got his food. We waited for quite some time before realizing our waiter forgot to bring it after watching person after person get their meals who were seated after us. He ordered Malibu Chicken with mashed potatoes. Having been a Sizzler employee once myself, I can tell you that doesn't take much to prepare. It got so late that we stopped our our waiter who hadn't checked on us at all since bringing my plate and asked him to pack it to go. His response oddly was "What was missing"? He didn't realize he didn't bring a meal as well as some mushrooms I added on to my order. Another odd thing, instead of bringing the food to us he left it at the front counter. I should also mention we sat in the back near the kitchen. I had a clear view of the area where the servers put the bread in the bread baskets. I watched our waiter LICK HIS FINGERS to grab the paper to line the basket. Then reach BARE HANDED into the bread warmer to grab the rolls he was about to serve. I watched other servers, they all used tongs to handle the rolls. So if you go there and end up with Amhad as your server, take my advice and ask for another server unless you don't ever want to eat your entree and want someone touching your rolls with dirty bare fingers they just licked. read more

Foods good. My waitress experience was horrible. The waitress never came by. She didn't check on us. Worst service. 3 stars for food. No stars for service. read more
