I got a prime rib burger with extra patty and it was a very juicy flavorful experience. I think one patty would've sufficed though and for me two was a bit much. The cheese was overflowing and gooey which made the aesthetics pleasing. The waiter was cordial and made sure we received good service. I usually love going to Sizzlers.

From my personal visits over the past few months, I can confidently say that the remodeling has elevated both comfort and ambiance, making it a perfect spot for family dinners, casual meetups, or solo indulgence.

The seafood offerings, particularly the garlic butter shrimp, are consistently fresh, reflecting their commitment to sourcing ingredients responsibly, which aligns with recommendations from culinary experts on maintaining high-quality seafood in casual dining.
Desserts at Sizzler are equally impressive.

Great food and a great salad bar! Salad bar can definitely be dinner with tacos, spaghetti and dessert included. Employees are all very nice!
Sizzler, was great all you can eat Salad Bar/Dessert Bar is a must if you are looking for a place to go for that! So this is it. & with all of the other dishes & plates they are great also so many choices! & please remember to get the garlic cheese bread & a sweet potato with your salad or dinner. (Just ask for it) The prices are good & reasonable & the staff is very good & helpful also. (6 years ago) UPDATE: September 6, 2025 Me & the family we all came here for dinner some of us got what we wanted & others got the "All You Can Eat Salad Bar" with dessert's & the cheese toast is always the best! βββββ's. One thing before I forget I had asked for my steak "medium rare" but it was obviously over cooked so our servicer took it back & I got one that was perfectly cooked! Thanks to the chef & to our servicer. Great Job!
I came in at 6pm for a vurthday party dinner my bill was 180.00 with a tip it was 220 I paid but the computer glitches and it says the payment never went thru.. but on my side I got s notification saying it was paid do I saw the statement to the host and it took them 45 minutes of arguing with me.. they said I could come back tomorrow and get my refund but I was hungry now!!! They called thier managers and they said the 7 ppl and myself can have all the salad bar we want ... but I ordered steak and lobster and the others in the family did too.. finally 45 minutes later they went ahead and gave us our steak and lobster I was so mad I was crying in front of strangers I was mad .. the host and manager tried everything they could to help me but they had to listen to thier managers. The way I was treated in front of other customers was very upsetting I paid 220 dollars fir a 45 minute wait and cried and it was a birthday dinner for my 89 yr old Nana and brother in law ... but the food was good and the waiter was amazing thru it all ... so 5 star for food and everything else but 0 stars fir the way it was handled. This might of made me not ever wanna come back!! Idk yet...
The staff was so great!! I felt like They were putting their best to service customers. The server was super nice and when I thought I left my cell phone the owner took time out of his shift to help Look/call it. I don't leave many reviews but this definitely was awesome thank you so much staff!
