Went to Sizzler in Merced for lunch on Easter Sunday. The place was busy, but not over-crowded. Hats off to our server, Ashleigh. She was top notch as she kept up with the larger than normal crowd. Thanks again to Sugar Ray for the generosity. read more

This sizzler was recently remodeled inside. It is quick and convenient to go through the line to order the food. We have always experienced lively servers. The hostess who assisted us was Jasmine, she was polite and thorough. Tonight our server was Mayra. She was attentive, friendly and honest. We never had to ask for bread or to remove the dirty dishes. She was on top of the service the entire night. Another server we enjoy is Sylvia, she is interactive during the meals. She checks to see how the meal is going and the quality of the meal. read more

This Sizzler was excellent! The food tasted very fresh and the hot bar was hot. Whenever something was out the team was quick to refill. Our server Silvia was attentive and helpful. I had a great experience and will be back soon! read more

Our server was absolutely amazing! Ashleigh was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She checked on us regularly, made sure our drinks stayed full, and got everything right with our order. Ashleigh's positive attitude and excellent customer service made our dining experience even better. We will definitely be back and hope to have the same server again. Highly recommend! read more

We came here early on Father's Day and was disappointed with the quality of the food. The spaghetti was cold, the banana pudding had no bananas, and seafood salad didn't taste good. We frequent here on Sundays and it is usually good.. The waitress, Silvia was great as usual. Merced read more

Silvie was our server and she was great. We hadn't been to Sizzlers in quite sometime. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. Me and my husband were both very happy and will be coming back soon for sure! read more

On June 5, 2026, my wife, daughter, mother-in-law, and I visited the Sizzler restaurant in Merced, California, for what we expected would be a pleasant family dinner. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the unprofessional conduct of Manager Leah, leaving us feeling embarrassed, humiliated, and singled out in front of other customers. When we arrived, the young employee who took our order was polite, helpful, and professional. My mother-in-law treated the family to dinner, while I separately purchased a salad bar on a different transaction. When completing the purchase, I was asked if I wanted my receipt and declined, as I did not anticipate needing it for a simple salad bar purchase. After we were seated, my wife went to get her salad. At that point, Manager Leah approached our table and demanded to see proof of purchase for the salad bar, stating that her server, Mya, had informed her of something concerning our order. Her approach was abrupt, accusatory, and inappropriate. We immediately explained that the salad bar had been purchased and suggested she verify the transaction with the employee who had rung up the order. Despite being given multiple opportunities to confirm the purchase with her staff, Leah continued to question us. I ultimately had to leave my table, locate the employee who processed the transaction, and bring her over to confirm that the salad bar had indeed been purchased. Being publicly questioned and treated as though we were attempting to steal was humiliating and made our entire family uncomfortable, especially as other customers watched the interaction unfold. When we asked Leah why she chose to confront us before verifying the facts with her staff, she responded that "everyone does it." This explanation was unacceptable. We are not "everyone," and we did not observe her approaching other customers who were using the salad bar. We then asked how she intended to address the embarrassment and discomfort caused by the situation. Her response was simply that she was sorry and that there was nothing else she could do. Afterward, she retreated to the back of the restaurant and did not make any further effort to resolve the matter. Another employee, Ashley, provided us with the corporate contact information after we requested it. Due to the humiliation we experienced, we asked that our meals be boxed up because we no longer felt comfortable remaining in the restaurant. What makes this situation particularly troubling is the feeling that we were unfairly singled out. While we were being publicly questioned over a paid salad bar, we observed other situations in the restaurant that did not appear to receive the same level of scrutiny. This left us questioning why our family was treated differently. No customer should leave a restaurant wondering whether they were targeted because of their appearance, race, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic. We believe this matter deserves serious attention from Sizzler's management and corporate leadership. Customers should be treated with dignity and respect, and managers should verify facts before publicly accusing paying guests of wrongdoing. We hope Sizzler takes this complaint seriously, provides additional training to its management staff, and ensures that no other family experiences the embarrassment and humiliation that we endured. read more

If there's a restaurant that is NOT on the U.S. continental East Coast, its Sizzler! I remember seeing one in Orlando a very long time ago, but no more. The closest Sizzler location is in Puerto Rico from Florida. My partner and I were visiting his uncle near this location and wanted to have a good lunch with him. I've heard they remodeled this location and it looks good! You order at the counter first and the menus are on the wall. Lots of great options for steak, shrimp, unlimited salad bar, pasta, burgers, ribs, and more. The staff and servers were welcoming and friendly as well. I ordered the Steak (medium-rare) & Unlimited Crispy Shrimp with fries. My partner had the unlimited salad bar and uncle had Steak & Shrimp Scampi Fettuccine with unlimited salad bar option. My steak was cooked nicely as medium-rare and easy to cut and eat. The crispy shrimps were like "popcorn" shrimps a little bigger than a quarter size. The salad bar looked clean and amazing and could see both my partner and uncle enjoyed creating their salad mountain. Also, they had a taco bar, pasta bar and dessert bar (soft-served ice cream, toppings and brownies). Overall, completely satisfied with our meals and did not disappoint for us. Very jealous that uncle lives less than a mile from this Sizzler and wished we had them back in Florida. Definitely going to visit again next time for more items! read more

We came in here randomly one night after the kids asked what the place was, and I'm so glad we did! I was pleasantly surprised by the remodel -- it still has that classic Sizzler feel I remember, but with fresh upgrades that make it look really nice. The salad bar is still my favorite part -- so many great options! The kids loved the hot food section (and of course, couldn't stop raving about the ice cream machine). We also ordered a steak cooked medium rare with sautéed mushrooms and a baked potato. It was cooked perfectly, and honestly, it was way too much food -- but every bite was delicious and worth it. All in all, it was a super pleasant experience, great for families, and definitely worth recommending. read more

It's been a very long time since we stopped in to a Sizzler. We accepted a dinner invitation to this one this month. We stood in line and ordered our dinners: steak and shrimp, shrimp skewers and steak and rice. Up until then there were no real surprises, but they were coming! We've rarely had such an attentive server, and the food was wonderful! The ice cream desert bar was a fun final touch! We enjoyed our Sizzler dinner very much, and we recommend that you stop in! read more

First time at Sizzler, the food, the buffet and the service were excellent. Thank you Silvia! read more

Lissandra was an excellent server. Very attentive and patient. Tonight was my first time eating at Sizzler. The all you can eat salad bar is outstanding and the food is great. I absolutely love all the options and the steak was pretty great. This place is generous with food and it is SO worth it to upgrade to the salad bar. I will definitely be coming back. Fiancé said they recently renovated the inside too and I thought it looked pretty nice. The restaurant was clean and the food was excellent. read more

Mayra was awesome! She needs a raise! The food was great and the workers kept the place hopping with clean plates and full bins for food. Mayra picked up every plate as it was done. Great job! read more

After a long day of driving visiting Grizzly Falls of Sequoia National Park, on the way back passing Merced, we looked for a sizzler since we just wanted soups and salads. Luckily this one was on the way and we stopped by. The place is in a big shopping center so we had plenty of places to park. The restaurant looks new and very clean. It's been a few years since we've been in a Sizzler. The salad bar is the middle of the restaurant as usual. There are many steak specials, but we're only interested in the full salad bar. The price has been up since then, $20 per person now. We did expect that because of all inflation. Quite reasonable although more expensive than some steak and shrimps on special for $17. The cheese toasts here are always the best, crispy and tasty, perfect with soups. The beef soup was very good, although the clam chowder I used to eat wasn't so rich as now. The salad bar has plenty of things to choose from that's why I like. Chicken and spinach salads are always excellent. We also made our own salads with many tasty dressings. The hot foods included with chicken wings, spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, chips and salsa with guacamole. We enjoyed the soups and salads very well. The service was so excellent and attentive with a young lady named Natalia. read more
