Amazing service from Jose and Joshua! Fast, affordable and filling. Would recommend to others.

Our family had a very nice meal at the Lake Forest El Toro Sizzler. my Rib Eye was delicious and the steak and lobster meal was incredible. our server, Monica, was very friendly and very attentive to our needs during our meal. We enjoyed!! read more

Sizzler is so underrated. Don't come too often, but had a really good dinner here tonight. Came with the family and we all got the all you can eat salad bar. Decent selection of food. Some premade salad, different types of greens, and many toppings and dressing. Also have several soups, potato wedges, chicken, tacos, spaghetti, pasta salads, deserts, etc. they also give you a basket of buttery Texas toast. All of the food tasted fresh and everything was actually very flavorful. Place was also really clean and the workers came by numerous times to pick up plates and refill drinks. I know there are certain sizzlers that have a lower rating, but this one is one of the higher rated ones and I can see why. Was about a 20 mile drive to get here tonight, but it was well worth it. read more

Christina is amazing! She's always very attentive and made sure we're taken care of Sizzlers is a fav place of mine so it's nice to have her as a waitress! read more

Establishment is relaxed and spacious. Staff was professional and courteous. For those unfamiliar with sizzler, they have a buffet style offering for their unlimited salad bar which is not just salad. You can also get made to order items. I picked up: 1. Clam chowder: rich, salty, decent 2. Taco: Shell is okay, meat is decent 3. Salad: fresh, plenty of toppings TLDR: Excellent service, okay food, good establishment, okay value. Could recommend. read more

The best service! Ask to sit in Gaby's section! She is such a doll. So attentive and sweet. We will come back because of her!

Another wonderful experience here. Sunday lunch and not too busy. Our parents were happy they had the FIFA game on. Sara (at the register) was very helpful and friendly. Monica (who happened to be our server again) was once again attentive and took great care of us. We tried their cilantro lime barramundi and it was delicious. Really love their clam chowder and salads too. Til next time! read more

Great food and service. No other sizzler is as good as this place. You can't go wrong!!!

Went to good old Sizzler last night for the first time at their Lake Forest location. If you can't decide on what to eat it's still a solid place for the price and options. All u can eat salad bar for $10 as an add on to your entree is worth it because they have so many options. I ordered the steak and 6 fried shrimp with a baked potato-everything on it. $23 .99 for the entree. My server was awesome and very attentive bringing the cheese toast fresh and on request. Restaurant is clean and they are continuously wiping down the tables as they get lots of traffic in the evening time (especially on a Sunday night). Will come again when I'm in the area. read more

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by this Sizzlers branch. I can definitely understand why it's top rated. The salad-bar buffet experience ($19.99) was very well-managed. I enjoyed the usual hot foods here but compared to other branches, the taco meat here was actually super delicious and I enjoyed how there were actual warmed corn tortillas. I seriously never saw that in the many other Sizzler's I've been to growing up. The soups were all wonderful and I really enjoyed the menudo, which was tasteful and the beef was tender and juicy! Ontop of that, the older gentleman we had as server named Jose was very efficient and really took care of us well. He replaced waters, grabbed our plates, and was very nice. He truly made our experience even better and for that, we are super grateful for! Definitely a good pick on a Sunday morning. read more

We visit this location often. It's always clean and the food quality is consistent. Service is typically nothing special. However, Joshua was our server and he was incredible. He was super kind and attentive. We felt very taken care of and grateful to have him serve us! Thanks Joshua! read more

Joshua was amazing and took care of our group. Very attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back soon.

One thing about me: I loveeee a salad bar. And Sizzler provides an excellent salad bar. I've been to this location a couple times and whether it's the opening lunch slot or dinner the salad bar stays stocked with fresh veggies, toppings, and dressings. They keep it very clean despite the high volume of patrons. Service is excellent, too. I've noticed that the owner (at least I think it's the owner) is always milling around, checking in and greeting diners. It's a small touch but you can really tell they care about providing quality customer care here and that shines through in all of the interactions with the staff. My husband got the classic trio. It was tasty but the mashed potatoes were not our favorite, they weren't super warm. Steak was cooked perfectly though. I'm sure we'll be back when the salad bar craving strikes again. read more

It's been a while since we've last been to Sizzler and I had a craving for their salad bar. Joshua provided amazing service today clearing our plates and refilling our drinks. This place is kept very clean and service is so friendly. They do a great job on replenishing their salad bars and keeping it nice and tidy. Sadly you don't see too many Sizzlers around anymore but If you want to experience a nice blast from your past you have to come to this location. It is retro and very nostalgic and even the music they play is a flash from your past ! Their soft serve dessert options are an excellent end to a satisfying salad bar meal. Come try this place out. All you can eat Salad bar prices are about $18. read more

We love Sizzler on El Toro. The food is always so delicious and the staff so friendly. Today Monica served us and she was great. Thank you Monica! read more

Sizzler is slowly going extinct but not this one. Here is why. The salad bar actually looks great. The interior is clean and inviting. The steaks are still juicy and great, the cheese bread that come with it is sp classically good. It is one of the things that makes Sizzler stand out. The sald bar is the clear winner go me though. Come try it yourself. The service was so great as they filled our drinks and refilled them. The unlimited cheese bread is a nice touch too. read more

Wow!! I am from the San Francisco Bay Area and our Sizzler back at home doesn't compare to the quality of food and Service I got here. The restaurant is nice and clean and great ambiance! Our server (Christina) was great very attentive to our needs. The Assistant Manager on duty today was also very attentive and friendly to everyone he came in contact with. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Always great service and the food quality pretty much always standard. Hit or miss on hot foods, but the clam chowder always slaps. Shout out to Sara working on Friday. Some of the best service I've ever recieved at a place where I get my own food. The bread and water were flowing. read more

The staff at Sizzler is friendly and helpful. Sara, who takes your order and payment, is smart and helpful. I told her what I wanted and she made the suggestion what to order. Gaby served me my drinks and meals, if I dont get a salad bar order. Food is very good and served hot. I enjoy my lunches there. read more

Was clean inside, especially at the buffet station areas. For a busy Sunday afternoon, the staff all handled the flow of everything well and kept the food piping hot and filled. We were given a basket of bread, and the bread was super loaded with garlic and butter. I liked the taste but it did seem like a lot!!! I was excited to see the taco station and immediately went to building myself a couple tacos. I wanted to eat the crispy tortilla but they also serve the soft corn tortilla option too!!! The cheese sauce looked super good and I used a soup bowl to make myself my own personal cheese dip!!! Our server Jose was super quick and even gave us new cups of water as I was almost done with my first cup. I saw the manager and several staff checking around the floor and I definitely give props to all the staff here for all of their great service!!! read more

Luke is an all-star server. Very attentive and personable. Thanks so much! I used to come to this location as a kid and have fond memories 30 years later my wife and decided to come back with our toddler. We've been coming back a couple/few times a month now. The service is always great and the food is always good just like I remember it. read more

Sizzler is a better version of Souplantation. Last week was my first time here and I ended up coming back again this week because it was such a good experience. Steak: 7/10. Not bad. It's cute that they put a flag to show what cook it has. Prime rib burger: 8/10. Simple burger and it's good. Option to do protein style. You can pick your side and change it from fries at no additional cost which is nice. Salad bar: you can upgrade to a salad bar for an additional cost that varies depending on what type of food you ordered. It's awesome. The variety is so good. There's a lot of salad options, but also pasta salads, spaghetti and meatballs, taquitos, wings, potato wedges, a taco bar, and a dessert bar. Sooo good. It's 100% worth it so come hungry. Cheese bread: 9/10. Simple and good! Joshua was an excellent server. He's very nice and helpful. His service was above and beyond. Thanks, Joshua, for being so great! read more

Came in for lunch on a rainy Thursday and ordered the Classic Steak Trio combo. Dariana took my order at the entrance and was quick, patient, and very kind while answering all my questions. She made the whole ordering process smooth and welcoming. After I sat down, Jose took care of me and provided stellar service -- attentive, caring, and right on time whenever I needed something. It's always great when the staff makes you feel taken care of. The food was still delicious, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the portion and quality. Definitely a solid lunch spot with good ambiance. read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner at the Sizzler as I was craving protein and a salad with an ice tea. I entered the restaurant and was greeted by a very professional individual. Joshua S. was welcoming and very professional with excellent customer service skills. Definitely manager material it he isn't yet he needs a promotion. I ordered the double hibachi chicken with veggies and a one trip salad bar with an ice tea with lemon. The ambiance was quite and peaceful. The kind waitress was very busy and stopped by to grab my ticket and returned with my order. I did not get her name but she was truly kind and efficient. The place is clean and the other staff members were all busy and focused on perfection. Recommended read more

Sizzler - One trip salad bar - Seafood Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Sizzler is always nostalgic. There's not many left in the area in Southern California. It's a real treat to come visit this one. I got their dresses. It opened and they were already three people ahead of me and several more behind me. I was really hoping to just have a quick lunch which really just included the salad bar. I asked about the lunch specials, which started at $14.99. And included a few steaks in the Malibu chicken. They only came with side items and not the salad bar which was an additional $9.99. I ended up just getting the salad bar which was $18.99 plus a Coke which rounded out to around $24. The salad bar and hot food bar and dessert bar were freshly stocked and looked fresh and delicious. Obviously, since it had just opened, everything was still intact. They had a citrus salad, which was delicious. I also tried just making my own salad as well as a few chicken wings, a taco, a potato wedge and some macaroni salad. The server with the dark brown hair pulled back was very nice and friendly. She brought me another refill of Coke. She also brought me the infamous garlic toast, which should be illegal in my opinion because it's so delicious. Just cool old-school vibes inside. I always find lunch is a more mellow vibe and dinner which I would find chaotic. Plenty of parking out front. Everything I tried tasted fresh and delicious although the tuna salad did have an overly fishy flavor to it. I know it's tuna, but this was a little more pronounced. The citrus salad was delicious. I did not have any dessert. The Coke was perfection and honestly the vegetable beef soup was also delicious with large chunks of vegetable vegetables in a delicious broth. I think the value overall is pretty good. I think you can start to creep a little bit with pricing once you start adding a lot of stuff into your initial meal. I think next time I probably would get an entrée and then maybe add the salad bar because it basically came out to the same price. I only made one trip through the actual salad bar and one trip before the hot food bar. read more

Well, the food is basically good for the price. Except clam chowder. No. But, the Prime rib burger was FANTASTIC! Juiciest burger I've had in years. Could not eat the whole thing so I brought the rest home and told my older son he could have it. He ate it later but next day, said it was delicious and now he keeps thinking he needs to go there and get another burger. $14.99 for burger and fries. Heck McDonald's is $12.00 for a quarter lb with cheese and fries. The service was friendly and the Texas toast was pretty damn good The burger though, has me drooling. read more

Joshua low key looks like Sebastian Stan. I felt like we got our cheese toast from Bucky. He was so pleasant and welcoming, not like Bucky. Great experience and would definitely come again and try to build a taller soft serve cone. read more
