It all began on January 27, 1958. With $50 in the cash register, Del and Helen Johnson opened “Sizzler Family Steak House” in in Culver City, California. This was the place where everyone could enjoy a great steak dinner at an affordable price. Today, we strive to serve the best hand-cut steaks at the most affordable price for the whole family with the addition of a broad, all-American menu and an abundance of fresh and healthy options. Sizzler is the restaurant where America comes to satisfy its appetite with U.S.D.A. Choice steaks cut fresh daily and cooked over an open flame, fresh seafood, and premium craft soup and salads prepared fresh daily.
Longtime casual restaurant known for its steak, burgers & seafood, plus a salad bar.

Sizzler had my wife and I shooketh to our core to how clean and high quality their buffet is. Good soups, good salads, good side bars of nachos, spaghetti meatball, chicken wings. Was not expecting this in the slightest. Our server Shiela was so attentive and so nice it’s made the overall experience that much better. This is not like your usual Chinese buffet it reminded me of buffet experiences from early childhood 90s-2000s. Give it a try.
Almost forgot their 6oz sirloin lunch special was cooked perfectly, and the 3 piece chicken tenders meal was so much food.

Update: You’ll notice in their response they say to email them. I did and they haven’t responded after a week.

Update #2
Someone called shortly after my last update and we had a nice conversation.
He offered to send me a gift certificate to try Sizzler again. I must say the food was MUCH better this time. Service was amazing and our waitress Chantel went above and beyond to make us some of her secret steak sauce after I requested Heinz 57. What she made was pretty close! We really appreciated her efforts. Back to the food, the steak was cooked perfectly and tasted like it just came off the grill. The Malibu chicken was also very good and tasted fresh. Last but not least the baked potato was hot and fresh. We also were visiting by the manager, her name escapes me, but she said she was recently promoted to management. She was friendly and want to ensure that everyone was happy. We saw her visit every table to make sure everyone was satisfied with their meal. This was the experience we were looking for from our first visit. I’m happy to say we will be returning now. Thanks!

My wife and I went here for dinner, and I’m pretty sure we accidentally ordered from the “Timberland Footwear” collection. Her steak was tougher than a hiking boot, and mine wasn’t much better—I think I developed a six-pack just from trying to chew it.
I ordered the “Classic Trio,” which turned out to be a trio of disappointments. The shrimp arrived so cold I’m surprised they weren’t wearing tiny parkas. Apparently, “fresh from the sea” actually meant “fresh from an industrial freezer and left on a counter to contemplate life.” Even a heat lamp would have been a luxury at that point.
The Malibu Chicken followed suit, bringing its own arctic chill to the table. The only thing that didn’t require a microwave and a chainsaw was the baked potato, and even that was just “okay”—which, in this context, made it the culinary equivalent of a Nobel Prize winner.
We both gave up on the steaks halfway through because we weren’t prepared for that much jaw cardio or that much gristle. I’ve been looking forward to this place for a while, but the only thing I’m looking forward to now is never coming back. If you’re looking for a meal that doubles as a survivalist endurance test, this is your spot. Otherwise, run.

This was my first time eating at Sizzler and it ended up being a really great experience, thanks to our server, Chante. From the moment we sat down, she was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel comfortable right away. Chante checked on us regularly without being overbearing. Her positive attitude and friendly personality really stood out and made the whole experience even better.
It’s always nice when great service makes a first visit memorable, and Chante definitely did that for us. If you’re dining here, I hope you get her as your server!

The endless salad bar gets me to return to Sizzlers. They usually have kale salads & other spinach salad options.
Moreover the service was fantastic, especially with Martha, here at Imperial Ave in SD. She never seemed rushed, nor did she rush us. The salad bar was always at its optimal stock and often the edges were cleaned. She and the rest of the staff were very pleasant & patient from when we walked in (dealing with the payment pad) & throughout our visit. They seem to have a good camaraderie with each other which makes for a pleasant atmosphere.
A happy staff is a happier restaurant. I thank Martha & the other staff members for their genuine smiles & hospitality.

Miss Belen’s conduct was very professional but, also very kind. She was attentive toward our needs and constantly picked up our used dishes to help keep our dining table clean. She was even kind enough to check on our tea service after seeing that we hadn’t received it. Been was extremely courteous and was smiling every time she came to our table. She even remembered one of our party who used to be a regular, years ago. Overall, Belen helped to make our dining experience one to remember fondly. And, she also helped to ensure that we will be coming back in the future! Thank you, Miss Belen!!
