Sizzler

Food was good, bad service. They hover around you while you eat to make sure you arent hiding it in your pocket. They refuse to let you box your own food or share it… felt very uncomfortable eating here.

Great place to eat your favorite seafood. Salad bar is always displaying the freshest toppings and be able to serve your own ice cream portion is a huge plus!

A very clean Restaurant. Friendly employees, a great salad bar, and great food and drink. One of the best Sizzlers around

I’m super pissed off about my experience today. To start, they gave my daughter a dirty glass! Looked like it had butter in it or something. They gave her a Styrofoam cup and I let that slide. Then the most disrespectful thing occured. My glass was empty for a while and just had ice in it after I finished my lemonade. When the waitress finally came by she asked «what are you drinking ma’am, water?» I said «no its lemonade». Her tone change, she was looking at my glass and she said «lemonade?» And I said «yes lemonade.» I thought that was strange but I didn’t say anything further. She came back with another glass of lemonade and I said «thank you.» However, as she was walking off with my empty glass she proceeded to shake my glass trying to look through the ice to check if I was lying about what I was drinking! I could not believe that she was doing this! I immediately got a manager but all he did was apologize and give me $ 10 off for next time! I am so disgusted with this place they can take that insulting coupon and… well you know! Anyway, I will never be visiting that place again! S/​N I know she would not have been looking through my glass if I weren’t for the fact that I’m black! However little does she know, I am a business owner and am working on my doctorate degree and I don’t need to steal no damn lemonade!

Worst place I’ve ever been. My boyfriend and I went here because he heard that lots of films shoot there. Needless to say, I don’t understand why…
My boyfriend ordered a steak with unlimited shrimp. I ordered a steak with broccoli. Broccoli was undercooked and seemingly not fresh. My steak was tough and extremely fatty, which for a 6−8oz sucks. My boyfriend’s was overcooked (well done for an order medium-​rare), and he said the shrimp was just okay. We both had salads, which were alright. They also serve rolls, which is great… but they came after our meal.
Not to mention, you walk in and order at the front. Then you can make a salad or just go sit at your table. Then a waitress/​waiter will come by to check on you and ask for drinks (other than water)… so confusing. So my boyfriend and I weren’t sure if we were supposed to tip her (even though she didn’t do anything except bring us the rolls), which is difficult for the couple who NEVER carries cash on them (mind you, we already paid up front).
I do NOT recommend this place if your life depended on it.

Trash. Steak was small and over cooked, wings from the buffet were horrible some burnt and the service sucks. The manager kept sending the waitresses over to see if we were storing their cheap frozen shrimp in my target bag that had baby wipes and sippy cups for my toddler. And the manager looked mean and couldn’t smile, I would never waste money there again. Not worth it. I don’t understand why instead of refilling my water they were concerned if I was going to steal their nasty ass food. I don’t even want to give them an star. Smh

Got a tri-​tip steak and unlimited salad bar. The steak was ok, it was somewhat overcooked (ordered medium rare) but the seasoning was quite good — the flavor was there, but not quite cooked to my liking. Steak aside, the service was phenomenal! Our server was on point, visiting us whenever she saw a low drink or an empty plate on the table. The salad bar was also quite good. Probably my favorite part! There were tons of options, wings, tacos, pretty much any vegetable, and the ranch was damn good. I think next time I’ll just go for the salad bar. At $ 10 all you can eat, you can’t beat that.

This is a real good place to eat. Everyone is so friendly. You feel welcome when you come in. We moved from Illinois and it has been our favorite place to eat.
We will keep coming back. Cassandra is the very best waitress and we love her. Need to definitely keep her.

The meat was very tough. Over priced for serving sizes. Cashier was rude as well. Won’t be going back to this place again.

Pretty decent when you desperately NEED a steak and don’t want to make it yourself. Mainly because you just volunteered all day in the 5^th grade class and mowed an acre and a half. Admittedly, the service has always been the REAL reason we go. I’ve yet to meet a surly servers there and that’s pretty darn amazing if you think about it! Oh and hubs and kidlet (10 y\o) dig on the mammoth salad/​nacho/​dessert bar. Me, uhhhhh… I’ll take the steak, medium rare with the cheesy bread and call it a day. OH YEAH! BRING YOUR OWN SPLENDA! It’s a Pepsi (bleh) house, so, I drink iced tea and Sweet n’ Low just don’t cut it for this girl!

I had not been to Sizzlers in about 20 years decided to try it for lunch. I will never Go Back. On Sep 29 at 1:30pm. I ordered the salad Bar for myself and My Husband. It came to a total of 25.00 $ my freind that came along ordered lobster and shrimp once she got her Lobster it was freezing cold she asked for it to be reheated it was never returned Back To Her. The salad Bar presentation was nice but the quality of the food was rubbery and tasteless. The chicken wings taste like wood. Disgusting for 25 $ don’t waste your money at this location. I expressed to the manager how disgusting the food was He acted like he really dint care he did not even say sorry. Our server was the only pleasant experience. Nasty and disgusting food. I will tell everyone I know to never eat there or waste there money.

My boyfriend and I got a little excited to go out to Sizzler! I mean, it’s Sizzler! He ordered steak and unlimited shrimp and I got the salad bar. The steak was terribly over cooked for medium-​rare. The owner of the restaurant came over when I informed the server. The owner seemed accommodating enough until he turned around and rolled his eyes as he walked away. He then sent the server over repeatedly to make sure we weren’t sharing the bottomless shrimp. If you want to feel like you’re in the cafeteria of lockdown with the warden monitoring your every bite, then this is your spot. Made us so uncomfortable, we didn’t even eat the steak that was remade for fear they might have don’t something to it. That was a waste of $ 40! And the salad bar was subpar.

CHEESE TOAST *drops mic, walks away*
I grew up in Southern California in the 80’s and being a Hispanic kid, that made Sizzler the go to birthday celebration spot. The chain has sunk into a big decline over the years and I’ve gone to some pretty ganky one in New Mexico and West Phoenix that have since closed. But this one in Mesa, is pretty damn awesome. Friendly wait staff, clean airy layout plus a nice wood floor and not carpeting make it modern and not a weird throwback. Their steaks are flavorful and not chewy even when I get medium or medium well and they have a really nice salad bar selection from potato salads, seafood, cole slaw and pasta, good soups and pasta and mexican hot foods that are great. I really like their cheeseburgers and the steak fries and sauce they come with. If you’re in a pinch, check this place out, good cheap food and a nice place to grab lunch and maybe make a meatball taco ;)
Plus CHEESE TOAST!

The only reason I gave them 2stars is for food ONLY! Customer service is bad. The tables are sticky. Its warm inside. The restroom is worse of all. It is atleast 90° in there. The toilets and floors are dirty.

Yes, SIZZLER. And it’s A-​OK! (3 stars)
I rediscovered Sizzler about a year ago when I started noticing coupons coming in the junk mail every so often. So one day I decided to give it a try as I haven’t been to one since a bad experience at the Flagstaff Sizzler over 15 years ago.
What I like:
The salad bar is well stocked with a fresh, diverse selection of salad items, desserts, and other items. I really like the fresh avocado slices and call me simple, I like the basic, non-​designer coleslaw. In addition the mini taco bar is a nice touch and I appreciate the refried beans being clearly marked as vegetarian.
Dinner Toast is great. I want some right now.
Service is very good. All the staff are friendly and helpful.
The place is kept clean thanks to the great staff.
Needs Improvement:
The ice cream yogurt is of low quality. It comes out crystalizey.
The quality of the non fresh items is low. The melted cheese, pudding, soup, and anything saucy is generally overly starchy. It doesn’t look good and textures are just a bit off. Taste is alright.
Some of the other desserts get dried out, like the pound cake.
Besides the salad bar, if you are a vegetarian, the only dinner option is the Fettuccine Alfredo. Sadly this is of school cafeteria or tv dinner quality. Taste is bland and it looses its creamy texture quite fast.
This place will stay on my once every 6 – 8 month places. It’s good for salad and a few extras and even better when you have a coupon.

It had been so long since I’ve been to a Sizzler… We walked in and were greeted by the manager and he was so very helpful and kind enough to take us through the menu. I had to have the steak & all you can eat shrimp. I’ve been all about that dish since I was a kid. It was the biggest treat for me growing up & it’s probably why I get so hyped to order it to this day. I got my steak medium and it was good. It was great with some A1 Sauce… The breaded shrimp was good stuff! Just as good as I remember it. I re-​upped once and only once. I was so full after having that meal and the salad bar prior to the steak & shrimp. My salad was heavy on the 1000 island, bacon crumbs & croutons. Probably the unhealthiest salad ever assembled but it was very tasty… And we cant forget about the cheese bread. Nothing takes me back to being a kid more than enjoying some of Sizzler’s cheese bread. But one secret I learned only a few years ago with seniors that I worked with who are regulars at Sizzler was to request to have the cheese bread toasted on BOTH sides. Whhhaattt??? That’s right… BOF sides! My knowledge is your gain. Enjoy. And dont forget to come back and thank me for that tasty nugget.
Thank you Sizzler!
ps — I had soft serve on a cone to end the meal. And yes, I indulged in the oreo cookie crumbs they made available. So good…

It’s crazy to revisit a place that I worked at 20 years ago. The best part was the Texas toast, it’s the same exact recipe they had when I worked here. But make sure you ask for it because it doesn’t automatically come work your meal. Salad bar was good and clean today on father’s day with 3 soups, potato skins, shredded pork, ground beef, ice cream machine, fruits, pudding and much more. The salad bar is a great value.
Steak and seafood prices are quite pricey, but for 2 senior meals and and a salad bar with drinks included we ate for under $ 30.
My dad enjoyed his lunch so we will be back.

I was in this part of Mesa for a meeting and remembered Rand’s positive review of the soup and salad bar. So I headed in with a coupon from Sunday’s paper for the endless salad bar for just $ 5.99 (usually $ 8.49 or $ 7.99 for seniors).
I had a large salad, cottage cheese (Rand is right it is excellent), a potato wedge with green onion and cheddar cheese, a strawberry shortcake shooter, and some broccoli cheddar cheese soup with some of the cheesy Texas toast. It was all very good. The salad bar was kept clean, staff cleaned tables until they gleamed and the veggies in the salad bar were all fresh and crisp. I did not try the taco bar, the pasta, nor the desert bar.
All of the staff were friendly, the décor was timber, stone and hunter green accents. Parking is plentiful and close to the door. If you are looking for soup and salad this is an OK choice.

Save your $ and time, go somewhere else!
1^st there are a TON of «snow birds» that eat here. I mean the entire place is covered with white haired individuals and you will overhear their loud conversations about the «multiple surgeries» and «horrible symptoms» of this and that… It’s obnoxious. In fact, when we walked in two elderly couples blatantly cut in front of us. The lady at the register saw it, and did nothing. Evidently, unless your old you are second rate here.
2^nd on a Friday night at 6pm they were out of salmon? What? So we both got the alfredo. Bad choice. Even our waitress commented «I think it’s disgusting here»… why is it on the menu then for $ 13.99?! It tasted like a smart ones microwavable dinner. Gross and watery with ZERO flavor.
3^rd their salad bar was OK — no tomato soup, onion rings, sprinkles or cheese toast (staple items at the Sizzler I once worked at).
Overall, we paid over $ 30 for bad service and terrible food. We won’t be back and I don’t recommend it!
