Establishment is relaxed and spacious. Staff was professional and courteous. For those unfamiliar with sizzler, they have a buffet style offering for their unlimited salad bar which is not just salad. You can also get made to order items. I picked up: 1. Clam chowder: rich, salty, decent 2. Taco: Shell is okay, meat is decent 3. Salad: fresh, plenty of toppings TLDR: Excellent service, okay food, good establishment, okay value. Could recommend. read more

Sizzler is a better version of Souplantation. Last week was my first time here and I ended up coming back again this week because it was such a good experience. Steak: 7/10. Not bad. It's cute that they put a flag to show what cook it has. Prime rib burger: 8/10. Simple burger and it's good. Option to do protein style. You can pick your side and change it from fries at no additional cost which is nice. Salad bar: you can upgrade to a salad bar for an additional cost that varies depending on what type of food you ordered. It's awesome. The variety is so good. There's a lot of salad options, but also pasta salads, spaghetti and meatballs, taquitos, wings, potato wedges, a taco bar, and a dessert bar. Sooo good. It's 100% worth it so come hungry. Cheese bread: 9/10. Simple and good! Joshua was an excellent server. He's very nice and helpful. His service was above and beyond. Thanks, Joshua, for being so great! read more

Went to good old Sizzler last night for the first time at their Lake Forest location. If you can't decide on what to eat it's still a solid place for the price and options. All u can eat salad bar for $10 as an add on to your entree is worth it because they have so many options. I ordered the steak and 6 fried shrimp with a baked potato-everything on it. $23 .99 for the entree. My server was awesome and very attentive bringing the cheese toast fresh and on request. Restaurant is clean and they are continuously wiping down the tables as they get lots of traffic in the evening time (especially on a Sunday night). Will come again when I'm in the area. read more

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by this Sizzlers branch. I can definitely understand why it's top rated. The salad-bar buffet experience ($19.99) was very well-managed. I enjoyed the usual hot foods here but compared to other branches, the taco meat here was actually super delicious and I enjoyed how there were actual warmed corn tortillas. I seriously never saw that in the many other Sizzler's I've been to growing up. The soups were all wonderful and I really enjoyed the menudo, which was tasteful and the beef was tender and juicy! Ontop of that, the older gentleman we had as server named Jose was very efficient and really took care of us well. He replaced waters, grabbed our plates, and was very nice. He truly made our experience even better and for that, we are super grateful for! Definitely a good pick on a Sunday morning. read more

One thing about me: I loveeee a salad bar. And Sizzler provides an excellent salad bar. I've been to this location a couple times and whether it's the opening lunch slot or dinner the salad bar stays stocked with fresh veggies, toppings, and dressings. They keep it very clean despite the high volume of patrons. Service is excellent, too. I've noticed that the owner (at least I think it's the owner) is always milling around, checking in and greeting diners. It's a small touch but you can really tell they care about providing quality customer care here and that shines through in all of the interactions with the staff. My husband got the classic trio. It was tasty but the mashed potatoes were not our favorite, they weren't super warm. Steak was cooked perfectly though. I'm sure we'll be back when the salad bar craving strikes again. read more

Sizzler - Classic Trio - Seafood Near Me - Lake Forest, California

It's been a while since we've last been to Sizzler and I had a craving for their salad bar. Joshua provided amazing service today clearing our plates and refilling our drinks. This place is kept very clean and service is so friendly. They do a great job on replenishing their salad bars and keeping it nice and tidy. Sadly you don't see too many Sizzlers around anymore but If you want to experience a nice blast from your past you have to come to this location. It is retro and very nostalgic and even the music they play is a flash from your past ! Their soft serve dessert options are an excellent end to a satisfying salad bar meal. Come try this place out. All you can eat Salad bar prices are about $18. read more

The steaks were cooked perfectly. The server (Remyundo?) did a great job. Salad bar looked great and well stocked. The food was good, the garlic bread deliciou! read more

Was clean inside, especially at the buffet station areas. For a busy Sunday afternoon, the staff all handled the flow of everything well and kept the food piping hot and filled. We were given a basket of bread, and the bread was super loaded with garlic and butter. I liked the taste but it did seem like a lot!!! I was excited to see the taco station and immediately went to building myself a couple tacos. I wanted to eat the crispy tortilla but they also serve the soft corn tortilla option too!!! The cheese sauce looked super good and I used a soup bowl to make myself my own personal cheese dip!!! Our server Jose was super quick and even gave us new cups of water as I was almost done with my first cup. I saw the manager and several staff checking around the floor and I definitely give props to all the staff here for all of their great service!!! read more

Long time since I've been here and I loved it. Great food and prices. Our service was friendly and dining area clean. Great place to share a bottle of wine and have a steak. read more

Always great service and the food quality pretty much always standard. Hit or miss on hot foods, but the clam chowder always slaps. Shout out to Sara working on Friday. Some of the best service I've ever recieved at a place where I get my own food. The bread and water were flowing. read more

Bread is so good , food was ok however what really made this experience wonderful was our server Tim

Came in for lunch on a rainy Thursday and ordered the Classic Steak Trio combo. Dariana took my order at the entrance and was quick, patient, and very kind while answering all my questions. She made the whole ordering process smooth and welcoming. After I sat down, Jose took care of me and provided stellar service -- attentive, caring, and right on time whenever I needed something. It's always great when the staff makes you feel taken care of. The food was still delicious, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the portion and quality. Definitely a solid lunch spot with good ambiance. read more

Sizzler is always nostalgic. There's not many left in the area in Southern California. It's a real treat to come visit this one. I got their dresses. It opened and they were already three people ahead of me and several more behind me. I was really hoping to just have a quick lunch which really just included the salad bar. I asked about the lunch specials, which started at $14.99. And included a few steaks in the Malibu chicken. They only came with side items and not the salad bar which was an additional $9.99. I ended up just getting the salad bar which was $18.99 plus a Coke which rounded out to around $24. The salad bar and hot food bar and dessert bar were freshly stocked and looked fresh and delicious. Obviously, since it had just opened, everything was still intact. They had a citrus salad, which was delicious. I also tried just making my own salad as well as a few chicken wings, a taco, a potato wedge and some macaroni salad. The server with the dark brown hair pulled back was very nice and friendly. She brought me another refill of Coke. She also brought me the infamous garlic toast, which should be illegal in my opinion because it's so delicious. Just cool old-school vibes inside. I always find lunch is a more mellow vibe and dinner which I would find chaotic. Plenty of parking out front. Everything I tried tasted fresh and delicious although the tuna salad did have an overly fishy flavor to it. I know it's tuna, but this was a little more pronounced. The citrus salad was delicious. I did not have any dessert. The Coke was perfection and honestly the vegetable beef soup was also delicious with large chunks of vegetable vegetables in a delicious broth. I think the value overall is pretty good. I think you can start to creep a little bit with pricing once you start adding a lot of stuff into your initial meal. I think next time I probably would get an entrée and then maybe add the salad bar because it basically came out to the same price. I only made one trip through the actual salad bar and one trip before the hot food bar. read more

Joshua was great very friendly and attentive we love coming to this Sizzler due to the great service

Haven't been in 20 years. El toro sizzler was immaculate and a lovey salad bar. Very nicely displayed, fresh and attendants keeping it well organized, clean and stocked while practicing food safety protocol. Jose the server was so kind. Excellent customer service. Managers were walking around ensuring everything running smoothly. Loved the variety of salad bar. Did not order a hot entree but they certainly had that displayed in salad bar I.e. orange chicken, taquitos, meatballs, 4 soups and more. We were pleasantly surprised and will return. read more

Jose was friendly and attentive. Took care of our requests. On the order taking, "seniors" should be considered start at 55 an not 62.

Sizzler used to be a decent, fun place to eat but not anymore. Prices have gone up too much for quality and portion size. I am not paying $24 for a 6 oz. tiny steak and baked potato. Salad bar is mediocre. What makes the experience worse is the manager Scott T. He looks miserable all the time and makes it an unwelcoming atmosphere with negative vibes. I feel awkward when he walks by. From observing his sharp looks and rudeness towards customers, I will no longer be returning nor do I recommend eating here. Just not worth it anymore. read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner at the Sizzler as I was craving protein and a salad with an ice tea. I entered the restaurant and was greeted by a very professional individual. Joshua S. was welcoming and very professional with excellent customer service skills. Definitely manager material it he isn't yet he needs a promotion. I ordered the double hibachi chicken with veggies and a one trip salad bar with an ice tea with lemon. The ambiance was quite and peaceful. The kind waitress was very busy and stopped by to grab my ticket and returned with my order. I did not get her name but she was truly kind and efficient. The place is clean and the other staff members were all busy and focused on perfection. Recommended read more

Our server Tim is always the best! We love to come down and see him during dinner and are lucky enough to land in his section almost always. We enjoy being able to watch football too! The young lady Eleyna at the front wasn't as friendly. She didn't ask us what kind of soft drinks we wanted and chose coke for all of us when we all don't like coke. We went to ask for change to leave our server a tip and she was helping an elderly couple to which she was rolling her eyes and even rolled her eyes a second time turned around and mouthed the F word. Not professional at all. read more

We had such a great experience at Sizzler in Lake Forest! Honestly, I thought most Sizzlers had closed, so finding this one felt like such a nostalgic surprise. It was a childhood favorite of mine -- I used to order the Malibu Chicken when I was little -- and coming back as an adult was even better than expected. Our server, Monica, was AMAZING, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. When we walked in, we were greeted by Jessica, who was so kind, and AMAZING too!! You can really tell there's a family vibe here lots of smiles, tables being checked on, and staff who genuinely care. The food was excellent. The salad bar is incredible with tons of fresh options, constantly refilled and well maintained. Tonight we had a ribeye with a baked potato and the salad bar great quality and great prices. They even have soft-serve ice cream and brownies, which is such a hit for kids. We've been here on Christmas Day and during the week, and both times were fantastic. Clean tables, fresh food, friendly staff it's perfect for families and honestly just a feel-good place to eat. We'll definitely be back! read more

It's been a few years since I've came to Sizzler and truthfully, I had a really good time here. Very fast service extremely professional, and the 14 ounce ribby was absolutely perfect. Definitely highly recommend this sizzler restaurant. read more

I love going to Sizzler and so happy they are still around. The salad bar is always my go to and favorite. Great choices, clean, and such a great value. It was my first time at the Lake Forest location and we had the most exceptional service from Joshua. He was absolutely amazing. Friendly, attentive, warm, and genuine. It was felt the moment he introduced himself. That kind of service is hard to find these days. Be sure to visit this location! read more

Always great food and fantastic service from Brian and cashier service from Dariana. Brain was great and very attentive. read more

The site: Free standing building with ample parking even on busy Friday or Saturday nights. This is without doubt the most modern Sizzler both exterior but especially the interior, bright and clean with neon light accents. Service: You peruse the large illustrated menu on the wall prior to the cashier and prepay your meal. You pick your table or booth, and the server checks your ticket, brings your drinks and cheese toast if you want (say yes to this). Food sometimes comes out quickly but slow during busy times. They also replace salad bar items regularly. They bring refills promptly most of the time. The vibe: A wide variety of people during the daytime but during weekends, noisy and crowded. lots of families with kids hanging near self serve ice cream and desserts. The clientele matches the overhead music from the 70's, 80's - and 90's. No Sza or Shaboozey here but you'll hear Earth, Wind, and Fire, and classic rock.During those decades, Sizzler was king of sit down restaurants but is still is popular here. There are a few TV screens, and mostly booths. The food: All you can eat salad bar, steaks, and seafood. Though prices have soared recently, the salad bar is still my favorite. We need to eat more fiber and whole foods to prevent diabetes and metabolic syndrome,. The prepared salads and desserts include imitation crab, cole slaw, macaroni, sliced peaches, jello, and spinach, my favorite. Some less healthy but popular options are fried chicken wings, spaghetti with turkey meatballs, tacos, and desserts. The steaks have improved since my last review, when now, even the sirloin is tender and juicy, thanks for obviously salt brining them (a technique used by all Chinese restaurants). I've grown to really like this place. As much as I like Pho, Italian, Japanese, and other foods, I love and miss the American food places. The weekend crowds make me optimistic that they''ll survive the dip in restaurant patronage. My steak came out perfectly, though sometimes they're underdone. The salad items are usually fresh. This is a monthly trek for me and worth half hour drive - just be patient if you have to drive here during rush hour or near the Irvine Spectrum. read more
