4/29/26 Had dinner at the Fountain Valley, CA Sizzler. It was a great dinner experience. I was impressed & happy that my steak was perfect. Usually Chefs don't like to cook a steak Med Well & it turns out dry. But my steak was juicy & delicious!! I asked for Chefs name & it's Lorenzo. When I'm in the mood for steak, I'll definitely ask if Lorenzo is the Chef. He was the best!! Our waitress Elizabeth was sweet & friendly. Warmed my heart to see her help an elderly man get balanced with his walker & hold the door for him. Overall this Sizzler get a 5 out of 5 Thank you read more

I'm so very impressed with this location. The service was great. Also while dining here we noticed a young lady from the management team check all the temperature on the food items in the buffett area and recoding them on a tablet. This is the first time i ever seen someone do this at the buffett. Out of all time at the different location that were visited. read more

We usually go to the Lake Forest location but ended up being here recently since we were in the area running errands. I ordered the steakhouse ribs and chicken. The ribs were 85%fat with hardly any lean meat. I ended up not eating any of the meat on the plate after cutting in the first two pieces of ribs and saw a thick layer of fat on each. My husband had the fisherman platter. It took forever and ever to get his platter and it was a humongous plate. The small shrimp were tiny and coated with thick batter. Same with that two pieces of fish. Hardly any fish but mostly batter coating. Salad bar was just okay. I'd prefer the salad bar at their Lake Forest location. It costs just a bit more but there are many more choices. Service was good. Food was average. 3.5/5. read more

We had a group of 12, most of us from out of town. Sizzler was out of chicken wings and potato wedges on the buffet. We asked one of the workers that was on the floor doing temperature readings, when they were going to refill those items, her answer was " I don't know, not my problem" smiled and moved on. Unbelievable. I should have talked to a manager, but decided to write it in a review! I will Never go back to Sizzler on Warner Ave! read more

Visiting from Hawaii, had a craving to dine at Sizzlers. Since we no longer have one there. Came for the Steak & lobster dinner for $29.99. The steak & lobster was cooked and seasoned just right. Asked for my steak to be cooked well done and it was cooked perfect and to my satisfaction. Craving satisfied! Service- quick and we didn't have to wait long for our meal. One great thing about my meal was that it was still warm when it was bought to my table. Ambiance- clean, and well maintained . Great place to dine if you're ever in the area. read more

So we finally made it to a Sizzler and it happened to be Veterans Day too. Location was conveniently located close to the 405 fwy and parking was shared with other businesses in the same plot. Let's just say this establishment was way cleaner and well-lit than other locations we've visited in the past. The cashier was super helpful and friendly. Appreciated how he went above making sure we ordered what we wanted and made us feel very welcomed. Found our booth and was greeted right away by our server with cheese toast. My husband got the complementary meal (16oz. Tri-Tip Sirloin) with beverage, my daughter chose the crispy-bacon burger meal with fries. I had my unlimited salad. Food items looked fresh and cleanly organized in the self-serve salad bar. -not pictured: unlimited wings and chicken nuggets, and spaghetti with marinara sauce. We were stuffed! We enjoyed our experience and very satisfied with the service and cleanliness of this restaurant. Make sure you tip your waiter as they work hard. read more

There is something nostalgic about Sizzler - in a way, their menu, business model & ambiance has been preserved since the 1990s. How it works: A bit of the fast casual vibe, when you come in, you order at the cashier, then you take your tray, utensils, beverage to table of your choosing and one of the servers will pick up your receipt to bring your food out. In the interim if you have gotten the salad bar, you can get it on your own. Highlights: Free endless cheesy bread, a salad bar that'll help make you miss the Soup Plantation Closure a little less and a steak and potato meal that'll do the trick, but is definitely not fancy like a steakhouse. My favorite is the 6 ounce sirloin meal with a side + small salad (one visit to the salad bar), the best compromise of everything you want. The salad bar was well kept during dinner hours with staff cleaning things up and things were well stocked. The refrigeration mechanism was strong, it think my peas were getting a little frozen. Sad that these Sizzler's are being closed one by one, so glad to see this one alive and hopefully thriving with a long line nearly out the door some nights. read more

Came in for early dinner and there was plenty of seating. We got steak dinners with salad bar. Restaurant was clean and salad bar was tidy. Some items in the salad bar were fresh but the chicken wings were very old and salty. Service was great and we were served quickly and attended to. read more

I've been way adventurous with food in recent years that when I went back to this place 2 weeks ago I got sentimental..all the familiar favorites are still here and we were in the mood to eat. The best salad bar in town. Staff are always so nice, the ambiance always so cozy and comfortable. Got a bit of everything--all the creamy salads, tried small portions of the soups, got some chicken and potatoes. Skipped the pasta but definitely helped myself with the taco and tortilla chips bar. Finished it with ice cream..I love their selection of toppings. The family came here to kill 2 hrs so we took our time eating and went home stuffed and content :) read more

This is a favorite of my hubs and I. The salad bar is well maintained, as well as fresh and appealing. The steak is always as requested. And of course the cheese toast takes us back to our youth. The staff are always friendly shout out to Moe and Jose! It's nice to exchange greetings with them. read more

Sure the last review was a year ago, but let me just say we've come to Sizzler plenty of times since the last Yelp. This time it was for my birthday celebration and going to the grand kids favorite help your self spots. I love seeing them grow up with Sizzler where they now are actually ordering steaks rather than the multi items of the salad bar. Steak and shrimp is a favorite and this time the youngest one and for the first time, orders steak and lobster!! She loved it. The lovely missus and I are happy with the senior salad bar as we both can scoop up what we like. Soups are always my first trip and this time I had clam Chowder and a fantastically flavored beef/beans soup. I am also taking in the chicken wings and spaghetti and meatballs. There is enough yummy cheese toast for all of us. Yes, I do the green vegies with blue cheese dressing, and then have a super fruits topped with vanilla and chocolate soft ice cream ending. We sat at a table where we watched on the monitor the Rams football win. Sizzler's service and wide selection of the salad bar as well as steaks, brings us back many times during the year. read more

7-12-2025 One of my gfs & I were craving a salad bar. We use to go to the Sizzler in LA Mirada when I lived in the area, which since has closed. My bf and I use to go to this Sizzler before Covid. I noticed that I haven't done a review for this establishment. I miss Souplantation and Sizzler is the closest with a decent salad bar. They had 3 bases - spinach, iceberg and spring mix. Lots of veggies - beets, carrots, olives,etc They have a selection of 3 soups. Hot food bar, - spaghetti, chicken nuggets, and make your own tacos or nachos. Salad bar had fresh ingredients, all you can eat cheese toast and desserts- jello, banana pudding, soft serve ice cream with toppings. Service was friendly and tables were cleared of plates quickly. Ambiance is a nice family restaurant. Homey & comfortable read more

Great service. Food is fresh. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The staff was attentive and kept my glass full.

We love Sizzler and was so excited there was one close to where we were staying in Huntington Beach. The atmosphere brought back so many memories, and so did the delicious food, especially the cheese bread. The staff each time we went were so helpful, welcoming, and on top of everything. Our food came hot and ready, and I did not have to wave them down for more shrimp, lol. We would definitely recommend this Sizzler location to our friends and family. read more

Haven't been to dinner here in years but my cousins wanted to take the hubby and I so we went. The restaurant was older looking but this is how sizzlers had always looked. You order your food and then you go pick a table and can go to the salad bar if you added it on with your meal which is what we all did. At the salad bar there was a build your own tacos, wings, chips, gauc and I think salsa. There were 3 or 4 different soups such as broccoli cheddar, clam chowder, and I think chili and something else. A variety of salads and build your own salads, cheeses, veggies and such and an ice cream area with good toppings such as brownies, sprinkles and other candies. Once our entree came out it looked decent. Steak was a little over cooked and the shrimp was crispy but could have been more. The potato was good but feels like you can't go wrong with that. Overall food was bad, don't expect much lol service was good and the place was okay looking and oh can't forget the bread they give you, that was good! read more

Visiting from the Bay Area, it was great to come enjoy Sizzler which was a mainstay while growing up in SoCal. This location was efficient, the service from Tony was very friendly and attentive, and it hit the spot for dinner! The salad bar was always full for both the cold side (which included the usual toppings and dressings as well as additional salads) and the hot side (which included the taco/chip bar and spaghetti & fried chicken wings). My favorite bleu cheese dressing was on point and all of the toppings were fresh. And the cheese bread was toasty and delicious. We also enjoyed the classic malibu chicken with a loaded potato which was piping hot and creamy. All in all - a great visit and hope to get back again soon! read more

We ate at Sizzler & had salad bar but there spaghetti sauce looked mix with old & new sauce also the salad bar is not that big like other locations. The service at the counter could improve the girl looked like she wasn't in a good mood but the server was ok I forgot his name it was after 5:00 & our steaks wasn't cooked how we wanted them they were over cooked. read more

I would leave zero stars if i could, i ate here last night and i have been throwing up and have diharea all night . I had to go to the hospital . Bad food safety practice should be a priorty and it abviously isnt .Im never coming back . This is the sickest i have ever been to my stomach in all my 43 years on this earth. This place needs some reevalution. read more

2nd time here. This isn't your parents Sizzlers. The salad bar has soups, tacos and desserts. Service is fast and friendly . Food is good and just the right amount. Flavorful, juicy and tasty. It isn't a high end steak house but prices are reasonable. The restaurant has a nice quiet atmosphere even when full. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. read more

Let's start with the more than reasonable price of the salad bar option. Then you add the steak and voila! Great value for your ever-dwindling buck... The salad bar is always refreshed by the outstanding and eager to please staff. There is an ever-present family friendly vibe this place exudes! My favorite Sizzler! read more

Nice variety of food choices. A little pricey but that's a sign of the times. Easy to get to: just park and walk in. I don't think I have ever been in a line but that's probably a function of going there during half hours. Food is good. Besides the salad bar, you can order an entrée for steak or shrimp. It's a buffet salad bar so if that's what you want, the meal is quick and you're out of there in no time. They have desserts (ice cream, a rice pudding I think, Jell-O) and side dishes as part of the salad bar order. The side dishes that also come with the salad bar include spaghetti, potatoes, soups, tacos, and chips. read more

Good service and good food. Was very pleased that they were able to fit us in. We came with a big party and we were able to sit close together. read more

The food is tasty. The salad bar has fresh fruits and vegetables and the service is great at the Fountain Valley Sizzler.

Wish I could give five stars but the cashier doesn't seem to know what she was doing at all! Awkwardly stood there for 5 min trying to use our gift card, and she also didn't give us the correct military discount. My steak was supposed to be med-rare and it came out completely brown:( read more

Please urgently consider the restroom renovation; as it is globally much recommended to upkeep for customer satisfaction and especially employee satisfaction to ultimately perform better at their work place.....that is practically their second home with the amount of time energy spent for your company. See photos of reference as of may 30 2025. As much as this review is about your restrooms please take into consideration the kitchen behind the scenes. Your loyal customer. read more

Well. . .Years ago we had stopped coming here. But I began noticing all the cars parked in the lot, a possible sign of great eats! The other day I printed a coupon for a free add- on salad bar. Yesterday I used it at about 3:00 p.m. There were folks dining but not crowded. I was able to order a child's burger for $6.99 thanks to the manager because I am not a big eater. It was large enough for me! The salad bar was well stocked with fresh salad ingredients, cottage cheese, and maybe four soups. You can request the cheese toast. The breaded chicken wings are delicious! Deserts were canned peaches, jello (no thanks!), banana pudding, chocolate brownies with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. YUM! I live close by and NOW consider this Sizzler a "GO TO!" THANKS SIZZLER! read more

Inconsistent tasting but typical service. I got steak that tastes with good flavor but too chevy. Quality of the cook can be better. The salmon and fruit salad was nicely made. Able to get seated on time. Parking was nice to find during dinner. read more

The steak had a lot of connective tissue in it, I was upset about that. What type of cut on the steak are you using? Not sure if it was flat iron, top sirloin, or what... The salad bar was a bit dirty. They were playing hispanic music inside the place a bit loud lol. The service was ok. read more

Had a surprisingly great meal here! The salad bar was terrific! Service was good, too! Nice waiter. The staff is constantly tending to the salad bar so everything looked fresh. The decor is a bit dated, but everything is very clean. A few gnats spotted by the window facing the parking lot but it was raining the day I went, so it was damp outside. I can't wait return! read more

I have loved sizzler since i was a kid! My husband wanted to take me there for valentine's. It was like i went back in time. Our server Gabriel was always checking on us. Food was great!!!! Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back. Nice time. read more

food and service suck! the dumb, cunt, chola manager, was unprofessional, and argued with me, because i was ordering a salad, to be added to my antree. the other, low life chola cashier, charged me the regular price of an all u can eat salad bar. it was me and my daughter , and she proceeded to chastise me, and drill me about who was going to eat! tramp. give a mexican a little power and iy goes to her head! i was just getting the antree salad, because, thats all my daughter wanted, and it made more sense. nowhere, did it say that it had to be the same person to get the salad bar, for 8.49 instead of 17.99! she would not let up. she even said she was going to tell our server, to keep an eye on us! fuck you loser. no wonder they're closing all the sizzlers@ they suck! food was nasty! read more

If I could rate this place zero stars I would! Slowest cooks ever. The wait time for this establishment is absolutely ridiculous. I almost went to the back and started helping! And then when they brought my food out, it was the wrong order! Shame on you sizzler! read more

I have been going to Sizzler for years. But recently, it's just getting so very expensive. Twenty dollars for a salad bar is ridiculous. I went this past weekend (for the last time) and got the 8 oz steak dinner. It came with a very small handful of fries and NO vegetable. I mean, you used to be able to get a well rounded plate, but look at what $18 gets you now. read more

I wanted to do Sizzler again which is only an occasional thing so I gave this location another try the other day and I'm glad I did. Way better than the last time I was there. The food was quite good. Not excellent but good for what it is. The salad bar items were fresh, good variety and the hot foods were hot or at least an acceptable temperature. The chicken noodle soup had good flavor and the wings were crunchy albeit a little too salty. The cheese toast had good texture and flavor like I remember years ago. I guess they tightened up their quality control, that's great. The service was friendly and efficient, but that's never been an issue. I'll be back. read more
