Growing up in a Mexican household, I was surrounded by rich flavors and vibrant culinary traditions. But moving to the U.S. in my teens opened my eyes to a different dining landscape. Among those discoveries was Sizzler, and over the years, it's become a sort of bridge between my two worlds. The salad bar is a standout. It reminds me of the abundant spreads at family gatherings back home, where you can mix and match to your heart's content. The variety is decent, and while it's no traditional Mexican feast, the freshness and the chance to customize always gets a thumbs up from me. Their steaks? Well, they're a bit hit or miss. Sometimes they nail it, and other times, I find myself missing the tender carne asada from the local taquerias. But, I'll give them this: when paired with their toast and sides, it's a filling meal that doesn't break the bank. The ambiance is comfortable, a mix of modern casual with a hint of retro. It's a place where I can bring my friends for a chill evening or even introduce traditional American fare to visiting family from Mexico. However, I've noticed that during peak times, the service can slow down a bit. But hey, as we say back home, "la paciencia es una virtud" (patience is a virtue). To sum it up, Sizzler offers a unique dining experience for me. It's not quite the food from my homeland, and it's not gourmet American cuisine either. But it's a fusion of my journey, a place where I can enjoy good food, reminisce about my youth, and look forward to the future. If you're in the mood for a laid-back meal with a side of nostalgia, give it a try. read more

It's been many years since I've eaten at a Sizzler. I completely forgot about their salad bar, and I didn't spot that option on their huge menus. But I'm sure it was there somewhere. So I opted for a Philly Cheesesteak with fries instead. A member of their staff directed us to a table, and dispensed napkins and silverware for everyone. She quickly returned with our drinks. A few minutes later plates of cheese bread arrived at our table. I love their cheese bread! I munched on this while others in our group went to load up at the salad bar. I took a spare slice home to eat with dinner. Eventually my sandwich arrived. The fries were hot and fresh, and probably the best part of my meal. Now for the down side. The meat was definitely not of the highest quality, as it was a little chewy. Not really worth the $10.99 for the sandwich and fries. From looking at my friend's plates, I'm not sure the salad bar would have been a better choice. I saw super healthy (salad), super unhealthy (fried things), but not much in between those extremes. read more

I had a wonderful dining experience at Sizzler's in Turlock with my two daughters and my niece. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for our visit. Our server, Mariana, was absolutely amazing! She provided exceptional customer service and was attentive to our needs throughout our meal. Mariana made sure to check on us regularly, ensuring our drinks were always filled and that we had everything we needed. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for her customers truly made our dining experience special. Not only was she professional, but Mariana also took the time to engage with us, making us feel valued and appreciated. Her dedication to her customers was truly phenomenal and made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, Sizzler's in Turlock exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service. Thank you, Mariana, for making our day wonderful. read more

I mainly go to Sizzlers I love their kale salad especially when they put enough dressing cuz then I don't feel like I'm chewing on dry kale that can be nasty but this is there's in Turlock they do it excellent I live in Modesto and they used to be good though but their quality of food has gone down and for some reason you just don't see the love in their food but Sizzlers on the other hand in Turlock other food is nice hot and always fresh and it seems like they're not stingy with their dressings on the salad like I said kale salad is my favorite but the other food is so delicious too and I love it sometimes when I switch it up and bring a new dish to the salad bar the workers and managers are wonderful they are nice and and always asking if there is something they can do to make us feel more comfortable this is during around lunch time love the Sizzler soup Turlock highly recommend that one thank you for being so delicious ​ ​​ read more

Yadira was out server for a party of 6. we had a decent amount of food and drinks and she was always on point with her service. absolutely phenomenal. within seconds of my drink being finished she asked if I wanted another. plates were taken immediately and she was so very nice. I am a little bit bummed that sizzler doesn't have a veggie burger. it's 2026, there's more vegetarians in the world now lol. its ok because I expected a great cup of broccoli and cheddar soup, only to see there was no broccoli and cheddar soup! Bummer, but no worries I'm not super picky so I ate from their stocked salad bar, which is amazingly up-kept. I should give it 4 starts because they didn't have the broccoli soup, but again our server Yadira was fantastic so I gave an extra star. i would give 10 starts if I could. read more

my husband and I do not ordinarily eat at Sizzler restaurants because they are often both poorly manage, poorly kept up And the food marginal. However many years ago we ate at the Turlock Sizzler's as we were passing through on our way to Sacramento. we both wanted a salad bar lunch. we were very surprised and impressed with how clean and fresh the food was at the Turlock Sizzler. We have mostly been disappointed with food and cleanliness of other Sizzler restaurants. Today, years later, we were passing by Turlock again and decided to give it another try. the restaurant was exceptionally clean and the salad bar was fresh and we again were very pleased with our dining experience. I commend the staff and management. It is hard to fin d a salad bar these post covid days. Keep up the good work! read more

We had the pleasure of being served by Alondra and Yadira, and they truly made our dining experience exceptional. From the moment we sat down, they were both attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They managed our table with genuine warmth and efficiency, making sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Alondra was quick with recommendations and made us feel right at home, while Yadira ensured that our drinks were always full and our needs were met with a smile. It's clear that they both take pride in their work and genuinely care about providing great service. They worked seamlessly as a team, and it really elevated the entire experience. If you're lucky enough to have Alondra and Yadira as your servers, you're in great hands! Highly recommend - 5 stars all the way. read more

We had a luncheon on Wednesday July 26th. We are senior citizens, we had a couple of walkers and canes. There were 16 of us, we always find it hard to get seating where we can visit and sit close to each other. I worked with Cesar and Kenla to get the seating right, they went way over board to satisfy our wants. We all had a great luncheon and were treated very special. We will be having our luncheon there again, in fact 5 days later another group from our park went there for dinner because we had such a good experience. As always the food was exceptional and the service was fantastic, when you can get 16 seniors at lunch with no complaints its a great day, you know theyre like herding cats! The Turlock Sizzler is also very clean, a big one for me! read more

Well this is easy. Turlock Sizzler is our favorite Sizzler ( we have been to a lot of Sizzlers throughout the state) and our favorite waiter Emir gives excellent service and is very friendly, kind and never forgets to check in with you to see if everything is okay or we need anything. The manager Irene Is very friendly and always welcomes us in. The food is always great. The salad bar is always fresh. It's a wonderful place to hold family dinners or celebrate birthdays or special events. We taken our out of town family or friends who miss the SIZZLER because it is no longer in their cities. Never have to worry of where to take our guests. We will continue to go for dinner at the Sizzler as long as it's around. We give it a read more

There could have not been a better ending to our guys-day-out than our feast that we had at this Sizzler! We were on our way back home from The Coliseum, where the A's beat Tampa Bay, and we decided that after a long day of cheering for our team we deserved a feast. What we didn't expect was the warmth and hospitality of our waitress, Mayra Ruiz, she is as hard working as she is lovely. Her genuine care for customers and humane attitude puts her at the epitome of what a any manager would look for in a waitress. Yes, the food was great, but the service provided by this benevolent waitress takes the cake and guarantees that next time that my cousins, uncle, nephew, my dad and I go out again, we strongly consider Sizzler. read more

It's been a long time since I've been to Sizzler and I wasn't sure it would be the right choice for dinner but thanks to our server, Savanni, I'll definitely be coming back! She greeted us right away with a warm smile and quickly brought bread to the table. She was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. I especially appreciated how attentive she was our drinks were always refilled promptly, often before we even had to ask. The food was good and well priced but what made the whole experience memorable was Savanni's excellent service. She turned what I thought might be just an average dinner into a great night out with my family. Highly recommend asking for her if you dine here! read more

We stopped by the Sizzler in Turlock for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by how great the experience was. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, and the salad bar was well-stocked and fresh. Everything from the entrées to the sides came out just the way we ordered. The real highlight of our visit, though, was our server, Marlana. She was genuinely warm and attentive from the moment we sat down. It's rare these days to find service that feels both personal and professional, but Marlana nailed it. We left full, happy, and looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this Sizzler location--especially if you're lucky enough to have Marlana as your server! read more

We are from Idaho and had a great experience visiting this Sizzler in Turlock. The outstanding customer service by our server Mayra and her manager Yolanda is to be noted. It was my brother's birthday and we casually had mentioned it among ourselves, they picked up on it and came by with a surprise dessert and congratulations. Very nice and not expected. They each gave us special attention throughout the dining experience and made our family feel very welcome. The restaurant is very clean, the food is great, and the entire staff are very friendly and personable. I highly recommend dining there. read more
