Wow this is my first time having Sizzlers ever and I can see the traditional aspects that would make this place popular and nostalgic for those who grew up having it. My rating would have been better if our server was more attentive. My boyfriend ordered the Classic Steak Trio ($25.49) which comes with a 6oz sirloin steak, 4 jumbo crispy shrimps, and a malibu chicken with your choice of a side, which he opted for the baked potato. He wanted the classic so I could try some of the classic items at Sizzler. I had to have what I have heard about this place for so long, the Unlimited Salad Bar ($20.99) which includes a beverage. So their unlimited concept is strange to me because they don't have the plates and soup bowls out. Starting out they gave me one plate and ne bowl. Not my style since I usually like to gather all my food at the buffet and then sit and eat in one sitting. This is an area where our server really hindered the experience because I had to finish my plate before I had to ask and waittttttt for her to eventually bring another plate. By then I'm already digesting and less able to eat to my full potential. So I started off building a salad with all of my favorite ingredients. The way they have the ingredients and the tongs they use... a lot of contamination occurs. The ingredient in the back drops into the ingredient in the front. This is especially true with the sauces. One lady couldn't reach the ladle for the dressing she wanted and asked me to grab the handle for her. Then she was struggling so much I saw her contaminate the front dressing with her dressing. Not on purpose or anything but she couldn't help it base on the set up. I also tried the clam chowder and the chicken noodle soup. Neither were impressive. The wings were okay. I also saw spaghetti and meatballs and a mini taco bar but I didn't grab anything from it. I ended my meal with some fruits and soft serve. The quality is not the best but I got my fill for the price. My boyfriend also wanted me to sample everything from his classic trio. The steak was okay. I commented on how it was small, and he said it's shrinkflation, since it used to be bigger before. Shrimp was okay. What amused me most was the malibu chicken which is a deconstructive knock off of a cordon bleu. Tastes good enough. I wouldn't mind coming back for a healthy salad buffet meal but this is no where as good as the salad bar experience with Soup N Fresh (aka the new Souplanation) but no wait is a plus. The experience would have been much better if the server we had was more on top of things.

Twelve of my friends took a vote on Sushi or Sizzler for dinner, and Sizzler won. We arrived and were immediately greeted and welcomed by two extremely friendly employees. I chose the unlimited salad bar, as did a couple of my friends, while others chose steak, shrimp, or chicken dinners. The restaurant, including the salad bar, was very clean, well organized, and well maintained. The salad bar offered many great, fresh, and tasty choices. My friends shared that their dinners were delicious and perfectly prepared. Our lone waitress was AMAZING!! She was super friendly, attentive, and assured that our visit was a positive experience. Mission accomplished, as we truly enjoyed our dinners and our entire visit.

After having a self care pedi day with my bestie, inside the plaza we were getting our nails done, I noticed there was a sizzler. I can't remember the last time I had the salad bar from Sizzler and we both decided it was time to be reacquainted. Our total was $64 for two people (tip not included), for two salad bar dinners, paired with a large Corona and Strawberry Lemonade. The ambiance was clean, the food was fresh, and our meals were accompanied with great service. The restaurant was busy, and we did have a little wait. However, it was all worth it. Thank you so much! It's located in a plaza with ample parking. There aren't too many sizzler locations near me. So, I absolutely noted this one.

Initially I went to another restaurant for soup and salad but they were busy so I thought of Sizzler since we were in the area. It is busy during dinner time on a Saturday night. We waited in line a bit before ordering. Ordered 3 dinner salad bar, crispy bacon burger, and a side of baked potato. For seniors over 65, you get a free fountain drink. After you pay, find your own seats. The server was friendly and she came by to give us new plates and soup bowls for refills. It took a long time for crispy bacon burger and a side of baked potato to come out. We were almost done with our meal and they finally came out. Plenty of parking spaces. It is across from the mall.

Mom loves Sizzler after her favorite salad bar place closed down at the height of Covid. Life sized menus line the wall as you get closer to the cashier. We usually order the small plates then add unlimited salad bar. Their salad bar had fresh vegetable and fruit options, different salad dressings, nuts, dried fruit, mixed salads like macaroni, potato, carrot, crab salad, coleslaw, there was a taco station, pasta section and even dessert (chocolate and tapioca pudding, yogurt, fruit salad, jello, canned peaches, cool whip, etc.). Don't forget the soft serve ice cream station. They had three kinds of soup- there's clam chowder, beef stew, and chicken noodle soup. There are booths and tables for bigger groups. Service was friendly. We arrived before the dinner rush so parking was not an issue, the restrooms were clean.

I got the shrimp shrimp shrimp. I liked the popcorm shrimp and the butterfly shrimp, the skewered shrimp lacked flavor. For the steak 6oz looks really small and it is unless you get salad bar too for an additional 9.99. The steak is super tender. Cheese toast was super buttery. Salad bar had a variety of salads.on one side they have the build your own salad. Then one the other Tuna, egg, brocolli, macaroni, seafood salads. I liked the egg, macaroni, and seafood salads. I also liked their chicken as it was crispy. Maybe this batch was fresh. The chicken soup was good, i was not a fan of the menudo though. This sizzler has unlimited nacho cheese. I loved the ice cream they had. The cones were stale though, so id recommend only getting the ice cream in a cup. Getting inside, you can view the menu before you place your order, pay, then finds seats. It was a little confusing because they have a tip option and the cashier said hold up i have tip for you then gave us cash. Apparently you tip the server instead of up front. You also have to give the server the receipt so they know what you ordered. If you get salad bar, it comes with plate and a soup bowl.

Sizzler (West Covina) is not bad. I ordered the Unlimited Salad Bar ($19.99). It's unlimited soup, buffet items, salad, and dessert. The Unlimited Salad Bar is the main attraction at Sizzlers. I arrived at Sizzler (West Covina) on Sunday (around 3:50PM). Parking is easy. The lot is fairly big. Unlike other restaurants, customers pay before eating. Customers pay at the counter; they place their receipt at an open table; and a server greets and assists you. Staff is pleasant and diligent. During my visit, Staff was attentive and friendly. Immediately, Staff placed a basket of complimentary cheese toast. From the Salad Bar, I served myself bowls of Clam Chowder, Spaghetti with Meatballs, Nachos, Fried Chicken, Cesar Salad with Artichoke Hearts and Mushrooms, and Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream. I also ordered the Mango Lemonade ($5.99) which came with unlimited refills. The food is very filling. Personally, the Clam Chowder, Cheese Toast, and Cesar Salad tasted the best. I enjoyed the Clam Chowder's soft potatoes and thick, well-seasoned broth. The Cheese Toast is fluffy and thick. The salad options are also very fresh. However, the Spaghetti with Meatballs was okay. I liked the bouncy noodles and meatballs, but its sauce was too watery. I also appreciated the vanilla soft serve, but this ice cream tastes frugal and icy, Unfortunately, the nachos and fried chicken were the least enjoyable. The chips were stale; the cheese tasted watered down; and the fried chicken was very salty and chewy. Regarding ambiance, Sizzler (West Covina) had a casual, slightly messy diner appearance. Floors had crumbs; tables constantly needed to be cleaned; and crowds kinda lumbered around. However, there's some high points. I appreciated the flat screen televisions that played the football game. I also appreciated how there's a stack of high-chairs for children, so it's family friendly. Also, it felt like the servers still tried hard to keep up with the customers' pace. Overall, Sizzler (West Covina) has value. It's a very affordable, decent option if you enter with a plan. Personally, I avoid Sizzler's main entrees because they are usually too rubbery, wet, or overcooked.... however, the Unlimited Salad Bar ($19.99) is the real reason I'd continue to return. If searching for affordable food, Sizzler (West Covina) is a decent option. 3.8 out of 5

Sizzler in West Covina feels like a classic American diner/steakhouse vibe, but with a little southern-style comfort twist--simple, filling, and honestly a great value if you're coming hungry. The best part for me is the unlimited salad bar. It's super affordable for how much you can get, and it makes the whole meal feel worth it even before the entrée hits the table. But the real standouts here aren't just the food -- it's the customer service, the iconic cheesy toast, and their steak selections. The steaks aren't the biggest portions ever (so don't expect a massive cut), but they're still satisfying, and the service makes up for it. Everyone is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel taken care of, which goes a long way. Overall: good price, good vibes, great service, and the cheesy toast alone makes it hard not to come back. Definitely worth the money.

This place always hit the spot and the last time it did that was about 15 years ago. Love that this place still serve the infamous Malibu Chicken, which is and was my favorite. The restaurant is nice and clean. There's lots of tables available and good parking. My waitress was friendly as well.

I had the salad bar for the first time and didn't really care for it. The soups were not very tasty and the protein asides from the boiled eggs were nit that great. I should have had the steak with vegetables as it is almost the same price! Service was great and the place was cery crowded. The cheese bread is really good! It is a large dining area and very crowded when we dined, we will be back but most likely for the steak.

I haven't been here in a while! It's been over 10 years I forgot what this was like. The staff was very attentive and nice, while we were waiting for the rest of the party to arrive the cashier thought we were confused and tried to help us out. Not to mention our server ( the guy with pixel Mario tattoo) I didn't catch his name, he was on it. New plates, napkins, cheese bread, I didn't really need to ask. It's like he sees the future. Ok heres my best bang for the buck strategy, Get any entree that you think would be good reheated, and go to town on the salad bar. I know I know it's a "salad bar" but honestly it's a pretty decent buffet. Fried chicken, tacos, I made myself a dirty nacho plate. I need to come back before they realize my eatery tactics

My family loves sizzlers salad bar, the senior discount is actually a free drink but they enjoy the variety of salads, soups, and make your own pasta/tacos/nachos food. I think it's more worth getting a meal and add the salad bar but honestly it's a lot to eat and finish! The salad bar is unlimited visits but don't waste food because it's all good food that is worth a try. Reminds me of souplantation and I do miss the place and this is just as good with steak as an option to order. My go to is the clam chowder, fried wings, broccoli salad, and meatballs. The chicken soup reminds me of hometown buffet version, the broccoli salad reminds me of souplantation, and their wings are just so unique (breading is very thick but crunchy so it's like a sandwich encased chicken wing). Our server seems to be the same every time I came, super quick, very accommodating, and always checks on us if we need anything. The place reminds me of American comfort food, a mix of Dennys seating vibe without the bright lights, missing the iconic sizzler silo windows, but with floors and walls of hometown buffet.

It was my first time eating at sizzlers and boy have I been missing out. Everything was delicious and wow that cheese toast is something else. Kinda hated that they were unlimited because we kept asking for more. I had the seabass and I was impressed in how good it was. Shoutout to our server Phillip because he was fast and very attentive. My son disliked the sauce in his burger and Phillip offered to have it remade. We appreciated that so much! Will be coming back soon.
