Went to Sizzler on a Monday night per my dad's request. He wanted to celebrate his 81st birthday with a salad bar, steak, and their infamous cheese toast! I haven't gone to Sizzler in decades but was very impressed by their service and their food was still on point! The staff was very friendly and accommodating in making sure we had an enjoyable experience. Carlos, our server was amazing and even got some of the other servers to come over and sing "Happy Birthday" for my dad. Thank you for making his birthday a memorable one. We'll be back for sure! read more

Almost 5 stars?! For a Sizzler?! I mean, I'm not surprised but I also am. You almost never see chains with a rating this high but as you can see from this update and my previous reviews, I'm a fan. They had a glow up here and to be honest, I don't think they needed it. They have always had a well-stocked salad bar that does seem a bit pricey if you're only getting salad at about $20.00. The good news is that it ain't just salad on this bar. They have tacos, they have chicken wings, they have soup, they have dessert items, they have fresh fruit, they have soft-serve, and all of these things speak to my soft heart. Sure, I hold some nostalgia when it comes to Sizzler as I would go with my mom and dad when I was a kid, but it's safe to say that this location goes beyond nostalgia. They're doing things right. read more

I ordered the All You Can Eat Salad Bar at the Sizzler Restaurant. This was my first time ordering their All You Can Rat Salad Bar. The price I was charged was $10.00. I love eating healthier foods especially Salads. I received excellent customer service from my server this blonde haired woman. I placed my order with Anthony at the front cash register. This Salad Bar is HUGE! I saw this Sizzler Salad Bar includes: a great variety of different Pasta Salads, Green Salads, Crunchy Ground Beef Tacos, Taquitos, Baked Potato Wedges, three different kinds of Soups like Vegetable Beef, Chicken Noodle, and Clam Chowder. And their delicious desserts were Sliced Pound Cake, Strawberry Preserves, Whipped Cream, Chocolate Pudding, Banana Pudding with sliced bananas, Cherry and Strawberry Jello, Watermelon in thick pieces and huge red sweet Strawberries. The All You Can Eat Salad Bar uncles a regular soft drink. I enjoyed eating everything at the Sizzler Salad Bar and at an affordable price. read more

Food was great and the server, Belen, was awesome! The restaurant was clean and everyone was very friendly.

We arrived here around 6pm for Sunday dinner and to celebrate two birthdays. The restaurant was very busy. We were worried they wouldn't be able to accommodate our large party. The manager was very kind and quickly found us seating for 17 people. It's been a while since we've been to this location. We were surprised to see they have done some renovations. They now have a self-serve beverage station for fountain drinks which we found to be very convenient. I had the ribeye steak and rice pilaf. My steak was cooked perfectly! Other guests in our party had the Triple-Licious with Shrimp, Steak & Unlimited Crispy Shrimp, Double Malibu Chicken, and the Crispy Bacon Burger. All were happy campers. I do recommend upgrading your steak to the 8oz if you're ordering one of the Steak Combos which is what most of our party did. If not, do expect a small portion. I noticed the salad bar and hot food station was continuously replenished throughout the evening. Even though they were out of chocolate soft serve at the dessert station, the vanilla soft serve with various toppings and the baked brownies were sufficient enough for us. The cashier was nice and very helpful. He answered all of our questions. Our server, Carlos, was very pleasant and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed to have an enjoyable time. I didn't catch the female servers name but she checked on us several times during the evening as well. They all did a wonderful job! Overall, we had a fabulous time with excellent service and great food! We would definitely come back to this location again. read more

Like always, the service I receive @ this location is exceptional. Luis the General Manager always gives me a good welcome. Today my server was Carlos and gave me excellent service. I highly recommend to come and visit this Sizzler, the atmosphere is welcoming and now that it has been renovated it's even better. P.S. María at the salad bar section was great also cleaning behind us and putting out fresh ingredients out. I really enjoy coming here. Emmanuel Garcia aka "Manny" read more

This review is specifically for JEANEEN the server/waitress at SIZZLER FAMILY STEAK HOUSE, San Diego location ( Imperial Ave.). It is Mother's Day Sunday and although she was not our designated server, she was attentive, friendly and genuine. Her attention to not only her tables but surrounding tables was nothing more than a "Master Class" of how to be the ultimate waitress!!! And with it being a busy Holiday service, we notice she kept her professionalism in check with even the rudest/lazy diners. ( C'mon "man of the table", as a diner you can get your tables own drinks instead of having Jeaneen pause and get your entire tables drink order for you as it is a self service drink station for diners). JEANEEN you have patience of a saint and hospitality of a "5 Star Hotel". SIZZLER FAMILY STEAK HOUSE, you have a "24 Carat Gold" employee, and her name is JEANEEN. read more

"Can I have a try at it? All-can-eat-BBQ rib night at the Sizzler?" I believe San Diego county only has two Sizzler locations remaining. With that being said, I do not see this location closing its doors anytime soon. This Sizzler is nicely located off the 805 Freeway, so it feels like you are driving to THE Central county area, more or less. Parking area is fine, no complaints about the size or amount of spaces. So, I just can't get enough of their Cheeseburger dinner meals! The beef is juicy and delicious, the hamburger buns are legit and whichever side you choose for, is going to be a can't miss! I usually order a second side, rice pilaf to go with some French Fries. The cheeseburger also pairs well with a Heineken beer, if the location serves alcohol. It's a bargain deal for dinner or lunch, in my opinion. My last visit was in December and although I did not take a photo, I ordered the 6 oz. steak and jumbo crispy shrimp dinner, and it was definitely satisfying! The steak was cooked just the way I requested, the shrimp was nice and fried up, too! Wooooo-weeee However, my family and received the most excellent, polite and vibrant customer service from Martha! She brought the table any condiments we had requested, would check in to ask about the meal and she brought coffee after dinner upon request! Kudos and accolades to Martha for her exquisite personality and for representing an old-fashion American-gem of a restaurant with a most fantastic attitude. I'll come back soon for some of those St. Louis BBQ ribs! Lastly, my photographs are from August 2024, before the restaurant went through a remodeling. Since the upgrades, he inside is still cozy, full of space and easy access in the walkways. Well done, Sizzler! Bravo! read more

I've been to a few Sizzlers around SD growing up (when we did actually have a few) and this is the nicest one to exist so far. Most clean and most modern looking. Food is solid for buffet quality. The $20 salad bar option is usually enough for my family and I. Enjoyed the salads, clam chowder, taquitos, chicken wings, and soft serve dessert. Quality may not be the best in the world, but it does the job, for a bang for your buck. Martha offered the friendliest service on our recent visit on Father's Day. Always had a smile on her face and checked up periodically. Pretty big establishment; seats a lot. Busy! read more

Wonderful experience. They have this salad buffet that is incredible. Totally worth it for the price. The atmosphere was amazing, so clean and tidy. The service as well, our waiter Jeaneen, was great, so kind and helpful. Asking if we needed anything else and checking in every so often. I would come again! read more

The server Leslie was very busy on the Sunday afternoon, but she helped my party with care and kindness. Also, it is always good to see people from the community getting together there and having a good time! The "Full rack" of ribs was truly "Full"! I was only able to eat ¼ of it, and brought the rest home and froze it for future consumption. : ) read more

Everything was good. Belen is very energetic and sweet. The girl at the front Mariah was irritating though. They should put her in the back doing dishes. Insinuating we need to get a kids meal for a one year old. They said she just started a week ago. But she rests heavily on management for everything learning nothing. Her voice was almost as if we were inconveniencing her. She seemed very dull. read more

Belen was great, a bit disappointed in the steak but almost everything else was fantastic

Sizzler isn't what I would call anyone's first choice for great food, but it's decent food at a reasonable price. Our server, Carlos, was definitely going the extra mile. We got the salad bar, and he was asking us if we wanted the cheese toast, coffee, was on top of getting our plates as quickly as possible, just in case we wanted to get some more, and he was very friendly. Between that and the music of my youth playing throughout my meal, it's a nice experience. read more

We absolutely love coming to our neighborhood Sizzler. It is newly renovated and the service on Imperial Ave is always really great. Our favorite server is Carlos who always does an amazing job, is very hospitable, professional, and kind. Our kids always ask for their favorite server when we come. Food is always fresh, salad bar always clean and remains with a good selection. I do like that the drinks are self service now. Looking forward to our next dinner outing. read more

Hadn't gone to sizzler in a few years. Felt like having a salad so we decided to try it out. We were not disappointed! The cashier was friendly and our server Carlos was great. He made sure our table was clean, he brought us our order of battered shrimp and the world's famous cheese bread! The salad bar was clean and the salad items were fresh and full. They had good music playing and it was the perfect way to end a Monday. We will definitely comeback again soon! read more

Haven't been to one of these in about 20 years. Malibu chicken and sirloin steak still on point. Martha was a great server and attended to us very frequently. We will be visiting this location again. read more

I always love coming to Sizzler. It is one of the best bangs for your buck you can get. Where else can you get a good steak, fries & a drink for $22!? For $5 more you can upgrade to salad bar or add shrimp. I've been coming here since I was young. The cheese bread is absolutely amazing and one of our favorites. I cannot say enough about the staff, they always go above and beyond. We love this place. read more

The steak and shrimp combo was absolutely delicious! The strawberry lemonade had a perfect balance and not too sweet like in other restaurants. Our server, Jeaneen, was terrific! She was very friendly and attentive to our needs. This was our first time here and will surely be back. read more

I really enjoyed their endless salad bar. The service was friendly and helpful. Lots of seating and clean. The steak was overdone but this is definitely not an elite steakhouse. I would probably come here again more for the endless salad bar than the steak. read more

We mostly take advantage of their great Salad Bar. It has everything we like from veggies to pastas to specialty sides. Always being refreshed by the many friendly employees zooming around to make sure there is plenty of everything there. Martha came by our table to make sure our drinks were full and plates cleared away for more visits to the bar with a friendly smile. And the bonus of being able to watch a bit of sports is an added bonus. read more

The atmosphere was excellent and our server Carlos was spectacular. I highly recommend a visit to the Sizzler on Imperial ave

Had a nostalgic lunch and was impressed. I hadn't been to.a Sizzler in at least 25 years. The quality had fallen. I stumbled onto this one and checked its rating--surprisingly high! I was not disappointed--great baked potato and basic salad bar with the good dressing I remembered. The full salad bar with soup, wings and diy tacos looked inviting. I'll be back to try that soon. read more

Belén's customer service is awesome; our server is always smiling and attentive to our needs. The ambiance is also good, with great music.
