Hey? I like this Sizzler location. Something about the unique vibe and look inside. We had lunch here yesterday, and i tried the Malibu Chicken plate, and it was pretty good. We were greeted and seated immediately. Wasnt real busy on a Saturday. But we had a good time. Malibu Chicken had cheese on it tho. I really do not like the concept of cheese on my chicken generally speaking. But it was good, and i will try it again and again. read more

We hadn't been to Sizzler for quite a while and went by the El Toro location for dinner. It has been remodeled since the last time we went and the new decor is bright and clean. The four of us all had the salad bar and everything was great. The lettuce was fresh and crisp and the assortment of veggies and dressings was top notch. Throw in all of the extras (taco bar, spaghetti and some great desserts) and we all left happy and more than a little stuffed. As good as all of the food was, the service is what really shined. Our server Brian provided excellent service and had a friendly and welcoming approach. We appreciated his attentive service and we'll be back before too long. read more

Lupe gave me 5 star customer service. I will definitely be coming back just because of her great customer service and attention to detail with my order! read more

"Delicious salad..." -Me Just one of the things to say about the food. The salad is to die for! It is so fresh and juicy with every bite. The burger here was fantastic! They are huge, so I recommend having 2 people eat one because I couldn't even finish half! If you need dessert, I recommend the delicious Strawberry Shortcake Have free time? Go here for lunch or dinner! Additional Notes; The service here is phenomenal! I can't believe how every 10 minutes, the staff came and refilled our waters and asked if we needed anything else. Thank you, staff! The ambiance here is normal and classy, perfect for a family of 5+! read more

Very good food and very good service. I come back so many time already. I love this place ....KEVIN.

Are you kidding me? I can't believe this place is so good! Service was wonderful tonight! Cilantro Lime SeaBass was great! With rice and baked potato with butter and sour cream! Place looked new and up to date, great salad bar! Only bad thing was there was no bday dessert for our bday boy. read more

Let me start off by saying LUPE! LUPE! LUPE !! (blonde hair) Has been my server for a while now and she was by far the best server I've EVER HAD at not only sizzler but at most restaurants I've been to !! I have been continuously coming here for years and I will continue to request Lupe everytime !! She is always so sweet, fast, always friendly and has a smile on her face :) I have unfortunately had some not so great experiences with gabby & a few of the other servers when Lupe is not there or unavailable :/ Usually the men in the front I believe managers are sometimes rude but as soon as I get to my seat it's usually a very pleasant experience thanks to Lupe :) As far as for food its usually Okay at the salad bar, but when I order a plate Lupe always makes sure my order is correct and if there is ever an inconvenience she is always quick to fix it. She makes the best Cherry Limeadess!! She brings drinks right away and is constantly checking on her tables for refills and plates. If you ever go to this location, DO NOT FORGET TO REQUEST LUPE !! :) SHE IS THE BEST !! 5 STARS BECAUSE LUPE WORKS HERE!! :) (I usually carry around cash to tip but it's a good idea to bring cash to tip, they do not have a cashless option to tip I believe) read more

"Why would you give Sizzler 5 Stars"? I can already hear it from my fellow Yelpers. Well....here goes nothin... Back in the 90s I use to frequent two Sizzler franchises-Santa Monica and Redlands. During the summers growing up, my brother and I would practically live in Santa Monica with my nana (pictured). She had the most iconic lifestyle: bowled every morning at bay shore lanes with her team (we would wake up early and have to sit in the alley for hours and watch her bowl). If she had a night league-afterwards they would all go to the Sizzler in Santa Monica. So Sizzler was life. Fast forward to today--both the Sizzler locations I ever experienced have been demolished! Tragic! This past week I was fortunate to have my Nana stay and visit, and I wanted to treat her to the finest of the finest. Somewhere I knew her eyes would just LIGHT up....enter Lake Forest Sizzler. I will be honest-I went in with EXTREMELY low expectations. I knew it was gonna be dusty, crusty, and musty. I just wanted to go to see my grandmother smile. However, to my surprise, I was proven wrong. This location is maintained exceptionally! 5 Stars for the service-you have to pre-pay but the staff working the registers are the NICEST and most patient people ever. Our server Miguel was so sweet and consistent with getting our dirty dishes off the table. He also kept that signature cheesy breast comin!! Yassss Miguel!! 5 stars for maintenance-there was a busser wiping every thing-I honesty went out of my way to look for dust and nothing. The serving areas were constantly being wiped and there were no sauce remnants on the dressing station...I mean WOW. There was also an attendant working the salad bar who was busy keeping the salad fresh and stirring the dressings. And the lettuce that was prepared for the bar was so crisp!....I could go on and on....it was impressive. You can truly tell that management makes a huge effort in cleaning and maintaining the food and serving stations. Also-all the staff were so beyond friendly. Was this real?! It was, and I'm so glad I experienced it. We will definitely be returning! read more

What started as an unwelcoming experience turned into a pleasant experience. The dude at the front was kind of rude and seemed annoyed that I did not know how the restaurant worked because it was my first time. However, when I went to my seat I was greeted by Christina who was very nice and welcoming. She made sure mine and my girlfriend's steak was made to how we ordered it and talked with us about sports. Food was good and Christina's energy was better :) GOOD NY STRIP read more

Monica was the best waitress ever. She was very attentive to all our needs. We look forward to seeing Monica real soon. read more

The food and service was very nice and comfortable. Our server Christina was great and responded to all our needs! Great to come for quick meal. read more

Food, service and ambiance was excellent! Fresh food, plenty of options! Can't wait to come back.

I haven't been to any Sizzler's in about two and a half decades. We decided to go on a late night for soup and salad. Souplantation disappeared right when Covid hit, so we've been wishing for it to come back since then. We all know it's not going to happen. So sad. Anyways, Sizzler's, is usually always packed when we drive by and I was so surprised to see it rated 4 out of 5 on Yelp. What we ordered: -Husband ordered the steak and unlimited shrimp. He said his steak was alright, nothing to go nuts over. His popcorn shrimp was delicious. -kids mac n cheese. The mac n cheese was very dry but the fries were good and crispy. This meal comes with an ice cream. -two salad bars. They don't seem to have as much salad or toppings as Souplantation did, but it's pretty decent. They also had potato salad, a tuna pasta salad, some desserts you typically find at the salad bar, a few soups, pasta bar that had spaghetti the night we came, chicken tenders, potato wedges and an ice cream machine. -you get YUMMY free buttery cheesy bread for free. You have to dip that in the chowder. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. I'm sure this place can get pretty busy during the prime time. We would definitely return here for the soup and salad bar. We will probably not order the kitchen food again just because we enjoyed the salad bar more. Oh...the restrooms and the restaurant were clean which is very important. Thanks for having such polite employees. We'll be back. read more

We had an excellent experience thanks to "Gaby" our server last night for my husband's birthday. The salad bar was so clean and well stocked. Gaby's attention to each customer is so rare nowadays. She removed the dirty dishes as we finished each course. She was attentive and asked if there was anything we needed. She checked on throughout the meal. She even gave my husband a ice cream sundae for his birthday. We complimented Gaby to the manager who was also very nice and polite. My husband got another gift card to Sizzler so we will ask for Gaby's area. Thanks Gaby! read more

Monica provided great service and the food was excellent. This Sizzler is very clean and offers meals at a reasonable price.

Tim was so attentive and welcoming! Food was great thank you!! Our family appreciates your care and service

The food is delicious and the waiter, Brian, is always very attentive, polite and friendly. He does a great job.

Jose took care of us! He was attentive and friendly. It was a wonderful New Year's Day dinner.

Amazing Cedar Plank Salmon! I've been going there for over 20 years and ALWAYS sit in Jose's section! The best server EVER! Thank you Jose for always providing a fabulous dining experience and ambiance! See you next time! read more

Great ambiance. Great food and awesome service. Monica was my waitress and made sure I was taken care of. After bringing my serloin steak, she asked if I would cut it open to make sure the cook of the meat was to my liking. Very much appreciated! Thank you Monica and Sizzler! read more

My bf & I visit this particular Sizzler about 1-2 times a month. I find it crazy my first time at a Sizzler was back in Nov 2021 yet they have been around for much longer. I just never had the opportunity to go until now! What I love about this Sizzler is the consistency of their food. I usually get the steak + 6pcs jumbo crispy shrimp with a baked potato AND I get the salad bar as well. My steak comes out nice and tender, cooked how I like. Shrimp is always crispy. Plates are available at the salad bar vs other locations (Buena Park) where you have to request and wait for your server to bring you a clean plate. I know people are sad or upset about the whole wings thing being removed off the menu and from the salad bar. I wouldn't be able to understand because I wasn't there for it. However, I am totally ok with it because they were replaced with nuggies. And these nuggies taste VERY similar to McNuggets. Unlimited nuggies with unlimited ranch and guac!? SIGN ME UP! On our most recent visit on 02/27, I decided to try their club sandwich instead of getting steak. What I got was not a sandwich. It was more like a big chicken burger. The tomato and onion slices were HUGE. Had to take out the tomato. The chicken breast was thick but tender. It was a lot smaller than the buns so I finished the chicken first and left about 1/4 of everything else. Located in a big plaza with ample parking spaces. Interior could be updated but I don't really care too much for it. Customer service is decent. One of the servers here is really friendly and we love it when he's helping us out. His name is Alonso :) There is ONE thing I'm a little disgusted about but it's not Sizzlers fault completely. During one of our visits, we sat right next to the salad bar where we could see everything. An older gentleman wanted croutons but he was having problems getting them out the tall carafe thing. Instead of asking an employee for assistance or getting clean utensils, he reaches in with his BARE fingers and tries to pull them out one by one. Oh my goodness. Please be careful with the croutons y'all. They may be crusty for the wrong reasons. read more

We don't get here often but we always enjoy this location. Today we really appreciated the excellent service provided by Jose. Made several stops at our table to make sure everything was all right, brought our drinks right away and cleared plates quickly. Thank you again Jose ! read more

I can't believe I'm giving 5 stars to a legacy restaurant but in all honesty it's well deserved. I really can't find any flaw which is extremely unusual for me. The food was delicious, the service was perfect (except the old man at the initial intake seemed a bit grumpy but did his job ok) and the price was reasonable. The manager here should get a bonus. read more

Great dinner on a Wednesday evening for the wife and I. She had the salad bar, and I went for the Tri Tip Sirloin Steak with salad bar add-on. Everything was fresh at salad bar. Steak was cooked exactly the way I requested and full of flavor. Our waitress, Sara, was top notch. She greeted us on arrival to our table, kept drinks refilled and very attentive. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. read more

The food is always excellent and the service is very good too. It is a clean place to lunch and dine Monday through Sunday. The servers are always pleasant and efficient - and Alonso, Lupe, and Cristina [our usual servers] are the best! There are other servers at Sizzler, and they are also very nice, but these are the ones who usually serve us. read more

For the first time I had Sizzlers Prime Rib Burger ...it was delicious and smooth. Will order again! A uper SHOUT-OUT to our Server Jose, as always he is fast attentive and engaging. read more

First impression...very updated and clean. Salad bar is amazing, having the feeling Sizzler merged with Soup Plantation. I am vegetarian and very sensitive to preservatives. I enquired with the Manager, Rillario..sp, and he gave me all the info on which items were homemade (they are labeled as well) and which are pre-packaged with some processing. He was very gracious and walked me thru all the stations. The service was wonderful and attentive. The food was so fresh and tasty. I will return even though I live in Orange, when I'm in El Toro I will definitely stop by. read more

Our server Jose is wonderful! He is always very hospitable and helpful! We like coming to this place when he is our server! read more
