I have not been to a Sizzler in 30 years but I was leaving a doctors appointment and could not decide what to eat, so I popped in to check it out. The first thing I saw was the amazing salad bar. Salad bars are not my thing because too many people have access to the food. But I watched the staff, replace the cutlery every single time someone mishandled it. I advised them that one lady picked up lettuce and put it back in the bin and they brought out a new bin. I forgot how much food you get for the money. I just bought the salad bar to go and I got a huge salad, chicken wings, meatballs and clam chowder for $14.95. This also included ice cream Sundays, banana pudding and fresh fruit for dessert. Some people went back for 3rds. I can't imagine. The restaurant is clean and tidy. It looks exactly how I remembered it looked 30 years ago in a different state. They are all comfortably the same. There is a huge parking lot, so you do not have to worry about parking which is nice because there is not much parking anywhere else in the area. it opens at 11am. if you are going to go before too many people meander through the salad bar, that is probably the best time. read more

Sizzle salad bar is good when you crave cheap all you can eat food. For the price, it is already processed food for some of the salad bar. But that price is too good to pass by. Just come hungry and load up on fried chicken, refill is quick. read more

Sizzler is an iconic affordable steakhouse chain that's been around since 1958. Unfortunately, so many of their locations have closed over the years, but there are still a few remaining. We normally go to the Los Feliz location, but this time we wanted to try the Van Nuys location. I wanted to celebrate my son's recovery from surgery so we decided to come here for dinner tonight. There's a pretty big parking lot and it was pretty packed, being a Saturday night. We walked in and waited in line for a few minutes until David took our order at the counter. I got the Steak and Grilled Shrimp Skewers (2) with a side of Cilantro Lime Rice ($22.49) and an extra side of vegetables ($4.29). My son got the Italian Herb Chicken with Vegetables ($14.49) and his meal came with a side salad he could build at the salad bar. The place was clean and the booths are spacious. Our server Abby brought out the Garlic Toast followed by our food. I had to wait a few extra minutes for my extra veggies, but they were cooked to absolute perfection, just the way I like them. I had requested they be cooked extra when I placed my order and I'm glad I did. My son said his veggies were all raw, as if they had just been put on the plate straight from the cutting board. I enjoyed my entrée. The shrimp was absolutely delicious, grilled and seasoned perfectly. The steak was ok, it was definitely medium well/well done and I had asked for medium rare. It was also kind of fatty in parts. The rice was also pretty bland, but I'm not going to dock a star for these reasons. I still enjoyed the food. They have two restrooms, one for men and one for women. There are also plenty of to-go and third party orders coming and going. I have always loved Sizzler and will continue coming back as long as they're still open. read more

I love love sizzler steakhouse specially the one location in the city of Bellflower . I was so disappointed and disgusted by the Sizzler located in the city of Van Nuys ! No one should pay any money to eat there . The food was absolutely disgusting like their salad bar and dessert station had very small selections , no variety , the chicken wings were undercooked, so was their steak , the soup was dull and room temperature, .., and let me tell you their all their seating booths and tables are all completely, old and beat up even their carpet was dirty and unpleasant . When we left the restaurant very disappointed we also noticed their windows were damaged and beat up as well . No manager was seen during our 1 hour dining experience . Please don't throw away your money at this Sizzler location we deserve better for our hard earned money . Shut them down until they improve over all . read more

always good. steak very good flavor. Pretty clean the bar can't get a little messy but they keep up on it as a whole food does get replaced pretty quickly. read more

In the Valley visiting family and suddenly I was like "I haven't had Sizzlers for a while." The closed all the Sizzlers in my area. We went to a different one but it was closed for maintenance and so we drove to Van Nuys. This one looked retro, but the food still hit. The salad bar is the best right now without Souplantation. It's still a great deal. I get an entree and then add the salad bar. Just get full off the salad bar and take my entree home. The staff were very nice and attentive. They say this one was in the hood, but I felt safe inside. read more

Having been to Sizzler's in a long time. But I'm glad I went back. I always get the same thing Malibu Chicken no ham and a baked potato. As always it was yummy. Also had a side salad which was good. But what truly it made the visit the best in a long time, was Elmer our waiter! He was so funny, kind and extremely helpful. He checked on us multiple times. Went out of his way to make sure that our iced teas were always filled. At one point we were just chatting with him and another regular client joined our conversation. Which is not something that you see very often, but was definitely appreciated. The location itself is a bit rundown, but is extremely clean. read more

I might be a bit biased here because I grew up eating at Sizzler regularly as a kid. My parents loved it and often took me and my brother. I especially enjoyed their early morning kids salad bar, which had cereal and lots of other breakfast treats. Now, as an adult, I appreciate the grown-up version of their salad bar. I love making my own salad and piling my plate with their wings, which I genuinely believe are some of the best, especially when paired with their BBQ sauce. It's just so good! I usually go back for another plate to make nachos and finish it all off with some ice cream, which you can even take home. It's a satisfying meal for me. That said, the price has definitely gone up over the years. I remember when the salad bar was just $6, but now it's almost $20. Inflation really sucks. This particular Sizzler location is nice the staff has always been friendly but it can be pretty dirty. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. The place can feel a bit grimy, and the bathrooms could use some work. Still, it's easy for me to overlook because I grew up with Sizzler and have so many fond memories. I guess I'm just a little biased! Haha read more

I think everyone starts their review off the same way... I used to go to sizzler when I was a kid... blah blah blah. Well I got news for you, this Sizzler has the goods. Late 80s early 90s ambiance - Clean, delicious salad bar with all the dressings Steak and shrimp that is well cooked , and portioned really well. Soft serve ice cream bar Taco bar Service that would put a 5 star restaurant in Beverly Hills to shame. That greasy garlic cheese bread!! Is unlimited All said and done, 5 out of 5. I would come back for sure... after a good workout and I'd bring my friends. Viva Sizzler! read more

2 1/2 minute read: There may be some out there who've never been to SIZZLER. I haven't met them. But I know this: SIZZLER, once you've eaten there- "I'LL BE BACK!" For years now, we've been to SIZZLER all over Southern California and consistency has been a norm. They do steaks perfectly. Every menu item gets appropriate attention from the cooks. As a restaurant, SIZZLERS has been successful but by no means are they perfect. Example: On my last visit, I craved a 14 oz RIBEYE steak but when my meal came, I noticed my steak was not RIBEYE. I was very disappointed but refrained complaining. The waitress did ask if there was anything else she could get us. I said, "No thank you" although my steak was wrong. We finished our dinner and enjoyed EVERYTHING, but I took my steak home, since I didn't eat it. I did taste a slice and it was perfect and very delicious. It it wasn't RIBEYE. The next day I called SIZZLER and spoke with the Manager, which btw, was the Cashier that took or. Dinner order last night- Leslie. Leslie listened to my story. Her bottom line conclusion was "You should have mentioned it to the waitress when that happened. I can't do anything about it now." I offered several solutions, She listened politely but stood her ground. Conclusion: Leslie did her job, followed set rules but failed to keep the Customer satisfied. SIZZLER's higher -ups need to improve their Managers bedside choices, to satisfy Customers. I have an AA DEGREE from Los Angeles City College. It's DIETETIC FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT and NUTRITION. My background in Directing & managing food service departments covers Healthcare & Restaurants, Cafeterias and Nutrition Counseling. I've worked at USC CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER, LONG BEACH MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER, BROTMAN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, SANTA MONICA MEDICAL CENTER, and more. Am I BRAGGING?! NO & YES. Sizzler's Manager insisted, "There's nothing I can do now!" I don't blame Leslie. The SIZZLER corporate above her, CAN do something. Will they? read more

$20/person for microwaved and undercooked food should be a crime. I attempted to feed my family of 4 at this Sizzler today and, while I went in not expecting much, was surprised to find I should have set my standards even lower. My burger tasted boiled and I've had butter that was harder to cut. I can't explain it any better way: this is not a grilled burger. I was confused as to what sort of consistency I was attempting to enjoy when I looked into the kitchen and watched their cooks throwing food in the microwave and plating it. Steak and shrimp? More like fake and skimp. How do you undercook rice? How do you send out shrimp that isn't even fully cooked? Is the health inspector paying attention? It might be time for an audit. Salad bar items are supposed to be fresh, so why does the soup taste canned? What happened to this restaurant? Why is this food not fresh, checked for quality, and deserving of the extremely inflated asking prices? Can't justify anything about this experience and I think I'm now too terrified of food poisoning to return. How far the mighty have fallen... read more

This Sizzler has great customer service and the food is good. The atmosphere was nice with good lighting. The restaurant was clean inside and had a few televisions surrounding the walls to watch sports. This is the first sizzler I've ever been to that had televisions. I ordered the ribs and chicken/sauce on the side with a side of fried shrimp. Everything was tasty and flavored well. read more

We were avid customers of scissors back in the 80s. To this day, my husband still wants to go to sizzler's for steak and all you can eat shrimp. Many people look at him in a strange way, like really? But that's where we ate and that's what he loves to have. Although scissors is not what it used to be, you can tell that the scissors seem to genuinely care and want to give you the best possible experience and food you could enjoy. We enjoyed our meal. My granddaughter had the shrimp shrimp, shrimp special. I had a salad bar and my husband of course when I asked him what do you want to order? He looked at me like you know already. Yes that's right. He likes his steak and all you can eat shrimp. The waitresses and hostesses were all very welcoming and continuously checked on us if we are enjoying our meal or want water or more shrimp for my husband. It may not be like it used to be, but really I enjoyed our meal here in Burbank as we were staying nearby. Come down the street. We were pretty hungry when we got our food and I failed to take pictures before we ate. read more

Came hear an hour before closing! Great service, great food. Just moved right near this Sizzler and Cant wait to come back

Hadn't been to a Sizzler in a very long time and had a great experience. Elmer was Extraordinary. He went above and beyond, definitely one of the best services we've ever experienced. Offered refills without us asking and constantly checked up on us to make sure we were doing good. We are Definitely coming back soon! read more

I was so disappointed when I went in to eat last night with my family. From the beginning the hostess was EXTREMELY rude. It had been years I had gone to eat at a sizzlers since I always went as a child with my family, and this experience as an adult now was dismayed. The price was inflated and the food was mediocre. The 8 oz steak was not even a steak an extremely uncanny piece of meat. My children's grilled chicken was unseasoned, my child did not even want to finish it. The food tasted microwaved not fresh from the hot options of salad bar. Our waiter was kind, but that hostess needs to work on her customer service. I will never visit again. read more

Here's the thing with Sizzler... is the food great? Not always, except their cheese bread. The cheese bread always slaps, but the thing with this particular Sizzler is the service. I can't remember his name, but there was one older gentleman who was quiet, but was always on top of things when we sat at his table. And for our most recent visit, we were lucky to sit at Elmer's table. 10s across the board!! Such a wonderful spirit, he took care of us, and made us feel so comfortable. Servers like them deserve all the recognition and praise because amazing customer service at this day and age feels rare now. Thank you, Elmer, for being the best! read more

I have not been to Sizzler in an incredibly long time. I didn't even know they still existed in this area. So I decided to stop in when I was passing by, and oh boy do I regret it. The one thing I always enjoyed from the salad bar, where the corn fritters. I don't know when they discontinued them, and none of the staff even knew what I was asking about when I asked where the corn fitters were. If anybody reading this comment could let me know, when did Sizzler discontinue the Corn fritters? As for the rest of the food, the cheapest thing on the menu was the hamburger so I ordered the cheeseburger. It came with french fries. Unfortunately the burger was disgusting. Reminded me of cafeteria food, something you might get at the discount grocery store. My french fries were served to me raw. When I told the weight staff, they did take care of it and replace them. The food at the salad bar is below subpar. From the incredibly greasy disgusting taco meat, they now have an orange chicken or the corn fritters used to be, and it's overly sweet sauce, barely covering the chicken. I tried the chicken wings, and they were so dried out. The breading was so dry. It was disgusting. I had some pineapple and Jell-O, and the Jell-O was fine. The typical hard cubes and the pineapple tasted fresh from the can. Altogether I paid about $23 with my hamburger french fries and the salad bar, and I'm completely regretting not spending that money elsewhere. Sizzler can close, go out of business like all the other good Buffets did, and I would certainly not miss this place ever again. I most certainly will never return ever. The food is disgusting, this level of food shouldn't be fed to humans. Actually, I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. As for the service, the two guys are running around. The dining room were great. Refilled my water, replaced the frozen french fries, and they did their job. It's just awful. They have to do their job in such a disgusting place like this. And as for the decor, this place hasn't been updated in many of the year. Everything looked worn out, the seats, the tables, there's no money being put into this place. And it shows. This is a sad reminder of companies that are probably going to be gone soon. And good riddance to that. read more

Sizzler - Barely edible food - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I hadn't been to a sizzler in many many years but when I had out of state company they wanted to go there. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was fresh and tasty. I had the salad bar with a senior discount. The next time they came, we went to the one in Los Feliz. read more

Say what you want about Sizzler, but this place is just like how I remembered it as a kid. It might be the same menu, same decor, and probably the same waitresses, but the service is spot on and the food was still good. My wife who's never eaten at a Sizzler enjoyed it as well. Only critique is the salad bar area, some of the taco bar and other items were dried out and inedible. But if you skip the salad bar, it's great. read more

This place used to be a great value, but lately the quality of food for the price you pay dropped significantly. I ordered the steak and grilled shrimp skewers, which comes with rice and another side. Not only was my rice clumpy and cold, but the shrimp was gray and undercooked. Out of the eighty dollars we payed in total for four people, only one of the dishes we ordered came properly cooked, and it was the chicken tenders. The salad bar is the only good value menu item here, everything else on the menu is overpriced for how terrible quality the food is. Didn't realize until the end of our meal that our food was prepared in a microwave very visible from our table. Someone at my table got soup at the salad bar that was very clearly chunky style canned chicken noodle soup, not freshly prepared at all and tasted oddly like fish. Would not recommend to anyone looking for a quality buffet experience. Not worth your time or hard earned money. read more

I've been going to this location for a couple of years now and it has been excellent. The steaks are always cooked according to order and the late staff are always pleasant and polite. On this most recent trip, the steak, which I ordered medium, came out medium rare. The char-broiling was excellent and it was really delicious. I think it even better than a fancy old school steak house in Santa Clarita. The AYCE shrimp was filling and hearty. I definitely will be back soon! read more

As someone that's been coming to sizzler after for a few years it's noticeable to the before and after. The prices have increased for most of the food, the best value is the unlimited salad bar that they have. The steak is good, but the portion for it is small. They serve garlic bread now compared to before with dinner rolls and butter. They have updated the menu from previously so it's easier to read. The service is decent depending on the time the server forgets to bring items if you don't remind them when it gets busy. Ambiance is good for lunch break to stop by to eat out. But if you're looking for more finer dining I wouldn't recommend it. Overall it's still a pleasant experience to come by for lunch. read more

This is one of the best and maybe only SIzzlers that I know that is left in all of SoCal. We do not have that many of them in Orange County. I come here sometimes when visiting the Valley, and I used to live nearby. It's a good Salad bar here during certain times of the day. The food here is real good. I got the lobster plate with soup and french fries. The Clam Chowder is FIRE here. I mean, what more could you ask for? read more

My experience here was hit and miss. Hit - the salad bar was amazing. Lots to choose from and fresh. Miss - the desserts were mostly missing. Only 3 choices. Red jello, banana pudding, and ice cream. The banana pudding was down to brown bananas and a little bit of pudding and they came out and put those dregs in a new bowl. I had to ask for a fresh one. The topping ran out on the ice cream bar and were not replaced at all while I was there. read more

Favorite Place to Eat . Everyone is so Nice and helpful. Food is delicious I've ate here several times

Salad bar was great but sirloin was way to tough to chew it was thin and hard even for med well

Stop showing a cut of steak that is not normally part of the steak and lobster special and a cut they don't offer to you when ordering unless you already know that. The manager did not seem remotely concerned about my issue and offered a 15% coupon to come back instead. I stated the misleading ad at the entrance of the restaurant of the steak and lobster special and she showed no interest in addressing it. Previous managers at that location were more caring and actually walked their restaurant asking each table how everything was, she was the completely opposite. The section we tried to sit at in the beginning was supposedly "closed" for special cleaning...there was no sign stating that nor were we informed about the section being "closed". Come to find out that it showed the workers just didn't want to walk "the way there" from what i observed. And if the section was closed for "special cleaning" then a worker wouldn't be allowed to just go and sit there...this was a great place to go and eat but definitely gone down the gutter, nowhere near worth the $200+ spent The section we or read more

Sizzler - This is stage cut of steak they offered - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The salad bar is the best !!! As of late I have been eating more salads and i met up with my mom for lunch, she suggested sizzler. Every time I had gone to sizzler I had always had their phenomenal Rib eye, all you can eat shrimp, or lobster and steak combos. Today was the first time I have fully experienced the salad bar and it was great. The cesar was on point and the spinach cranberry Salad was my favorite. They have everything you could want for your make your own salad. I highly recommend for anyone trying to eat light and affordable !!! read more

Update, don't waste your time. They no longer pay attention or care about customer orders especially ones done online. We ordered twice within the past six months both times they didn't pay attention to the orders that were placed. Things were missing, quality of steaks was horrible. When you're paying $30 for a steak, and it comes to you full of gristle and tendon, I'm not impressed. Asked for everything on the baked potato didn't get anything just a plain baked potato you guys really don't look at your orders do you. The manager there if it's the same one needs to crack down. Or are you a conspirator and just don't want to send the accompaniments with baked potatoes or any dressing with salads? I don't think I'll be spending my money there again, a bill for 2 with delivery is well over $100. Surely not worth it. I can go and pick up two nice steaks at the store. Granted I have to cook them clean up, etc. but after the last two horrific experiences I've had at this Sizzler they'd have to offer me free food and it would have to be exceptional for me to go back.!! I hope management enjoys my review :) Believe me, I could've been a lot crueler. But I'm feeling kind today. How dare you not pay attention to orders coming in - no matter how busy you are -- that's not an excuse.. read more
