Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we sat down, they brought out fresh bread, and the food that followed was incredible. The portions were generous, the flavor was a solid 10/10, and the presentation was beautiful—every dish looked amazing.
Our waitress Valentina was not only very good-looking, but also incredibly kind and accommodating. She truly elevated the whole experience for us.
The ambiance was perfect for a Saturday night out with my husband—rustic industrial decor, great music at a comfortable volume, and an overall warm, inviting vibe. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend. ️✨

The Sizzle is a unique grill house with diverse options, including a long list of empanadas and grilled meats to choose from! We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately, though it’s colder in the back room and it felt like air from outside was getting in. We had to wait 10 minutes for a server to come, and that was after we had made the attempt to find someone. Once that was set, the food came out swiftly and was great. They give you a bread basket with 3 sauces to munch on! We also got the barbecue chicken to share among 2 people (with a side of rice), and 4 empanadas (dolce batata, spicy pork, pork with pineapple, and the corn one). The pork empanadas were the most flavorful and filling for us. The chicken is a bit dry and while they give barbecue sauce, I wish it was more flavorful on its own. The rice is a nice addition, and I’d like to try the sweet plantains if we go again. Overall, it is a nice spot for lunch but may not meet everyone’s expectations.

I’ve been here a few times now, and compared to the Andover location this restaurant seems bland. The food lacks flavor and the drink options seem more like pre-made bottle cocktails rather than mixed/made drinks. They now have a bakery, and it looks fresh and inviting but we were given a few samples when we paid the bill and they were stale. It just feels a bit much. It’s kind of overwhelming. Especially since the menu is a novel already and there’s so many options with their food.

We ordered food for dinners as a take out multiple times before but I recently went for a breakfast to try out new pastries. I can say I was pleasantly surprised by friendly service, very nice ambient inside of the restaurant as well as with all the breakfast options. Cafe con leche was delicious and reminded me of Italian Cappuccino. I tried pastries and omelette for breakfast and took some pastries home to my family. Everybody loved the food!

Food was amazing. And the portion size is huge. We got the passion fruit lemonade. The sizzle sandwhich with fries and the BBQ pork ribs with fries. I do wish the ribs had some BBQ. But the food was great.

Everything about this place was perfect. Super cute vibe for a casual date night. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I wish we were hungrier so we could try more items. We had a few empanadas (spicy pork and corn were our favorites) and a pulled pork sandwich (incredible). We got the churros for dessert and they were probably the best curros I’ve ever had. We will be back!

Stopped in this morning on my way to work for coffee and a couple pastries, and it took everything in me not to buy half the case. I ordered a guava and cheese pastry and an Americano with steamed milk, both were absolutely perfect. The women working were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. The pastry was delicious, the coffee was spot-on, and I think I just found my new weekly routine. I can’t wait to go back!

Loved the place. First time here. Had the skirt steak sandwich on chibatta bread with rustic fries. It’s a BYOB. Great service and lots of baked goods as it’s a bakery too. Will have to try next time. Too full to do so.

I recently visited the Sizzle Argentine Restaurant and had a mixed experience. We started with the beef and spicy chicken empanadas. While the outer shell was fried to a perfect crisp and served hot, the filling was cold, which was quite an unexpected surprise. I’m not sure if this is how it’s traditionally done in Argentina, but it was definitely an eye-opener.
Next, we ordered the mixed plate to try a variety of dishes, but sadly, the flavors were underwhelming. While the meat was tender and juicy, it lacked seasoning and tasted bland. At one point, I wondered if I had lost my sense of taste! The rice was a bit too hard for my liking, and the fries wasnt frying. As for the mango mojito, it tasted off—like a rotten lemon might have been used in the mix.
On a brighter note, the atmosphere was lovely, with hanging lights creating a cozy vibe, and our server was attentive and provided great service throughout the meal. Funny enough, the best thing I had that night was the Snapple!
Overall, Sizzle has a great atmosphere and service, but the food could use some improvement, especially in flavor and preparation

This Saturday my family and I went to eat Argentinian grill to this place. Our experience was the worse. We drove for about an hour, with anticipated recervation. When we get there a young men introducing him self as a waiter, he was exceptional. We ask for “parrillada” for 2 and my daughter Asado de vacio. Let me share with you guys even though we ask for our meat to be cooked mediun. The meat came so cook like wood , the chorizo very dry and hart to cut. The only good think was the wine cuz we took our own. When we were leaving, in the front of the restaurant they sell pestris. We bought a mix pestris about 10, but the young men he didn’t allow us to pay for which we were thankful. But unfortunately also this pasties were old Hard and dry. Some of them had green mold we took some pictures as an evidence. We are from Argentina and drove longe distance for this negative experience. I hope this criticism serves as a tool for improvement, Argentina has the reputation for good meat, we appreciate to honor that.
