It's been a long time since I've been to a Sizzler, but it was my son and I this evening and he mentioned that he's never been before, so it seemed like a good opportunity to relive a bit of my childhood and check it out together. The ambiance is exactly as I remember it. The dim lighting, wood grain and earth tones, and a friendly staff bringing you plates and drink refills. The food is as I remember it as well, hit and miss on the quality of the salad bar items, as I recall as a child. The steak was on the small side, but cooked and seasoned proper, and unlimited shrimp for the kid and salad bar for me. It may not be the best meal you've ever had, but if you leave hungry then that's on you. ;) What really set the experience was the friendly staff. They were all friendly and handling business - clearly an experienced staff. We were never wanting for refills of food or drink, and they really were working hard to make it a pleasurable experience. This alone would bring me back. :) I'd say to try to come at off-peak hours at this location was it was packed to the gills @ 7p on a Sat, but by the time we left it was clearing out. read more

Sizzler - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

3.5 stars 12/28/25 I dined at Sizzler today and have been here many times over the years, so I know exactly what to expect -- and this visit mostly delivered. I ordered the Malibu Chicken for $13.39, which was very good: crispy, cheesy, and consistently prepared the way it should be. I chose broccoli as the side ($0.00), which was fresh and cooked properly. I upgraded to the Smaller Plates Unlimited Salad, Soup & Sundae Bar for $6.99, and that's really where the value comes in. The salad bar had a solid selection -- fresh greens, toppings, pasta salad, and all the familiar Sizzler staples. Nothing fancy, but well stocked and clean. I also had a Diet Pepsi ($0.00). Here's the full breakdown: * Malibu Chicken: $13.39 * Unlimited Salad, Soup & Sundae Bar (Smaller Plates upgrade): $6.99 * Broccoli side: $0.00 * Diet Pepsi: $0.00 * Subtotal: $20.38 * Tax (9.25%): $1.89 * Total: $22.27 I received a senior discount, which I thought was a pretty fair deal by today's standards, especially considering how expensive dining out has become. Service was fair -- not overly friendly, not bad, just functional. Plates were cleared and refills were handled, but don't expect much personality. The restaurant itself is what you'd expect from a long-standing chain: clean, familiar, and comfortable. Bottom line: this is good for what it is. If you come in knowing you're getting a classic Sizzler experience -- solid Malibu Chicken, a dependable salad bar, and reasonable pricing -- you'll leave satisfied. Not destination dining, but still a reliable option. read more

Went with a group of 6 on mother's day. Salad and soup bar was depleted, No gloves, no croutons, no chips, the chicken wings, nacho cheese and taco meat was dehydrated af like 4hrs at least dehydrated, and hard, no labels anywhere letting customers know what they were plating.. My granddaughter bit into what she thought was a chicken nugget and it was a fried zucchini. I thought she was gonna puke on me at the f****** table. Soups were empty upon arrival, then when they finally filled them, undercooked rushed bs appeared. The potatoes in the soup were hard and undercooked. My steak was nothing but fat and grissle, baked potato was an all day rock, almost broke my teeth on it. Don't go to this los al location, it might have been remodeled but the food is still awful here. Go to Buena Park. At least you won't be this disappointed!! read more

Holy nostalgia! I remember going to Sizzler often as a kid in the 90s. Surprised that they are still around. My niece wanted to go somewhere with a salad bar and this place came to mind. The salad and toppings were delicious. I enjoyed that part. The potato fries and meatballs were not good...at all. The beef and vegetable soup was delicious. The pasta salads were good. I didn't have enough room for dessert. My niece who is 8 loved the ice cream though. But what really stood out to me was the fantastic service from everyone who worked there, especially Beverly! She made sure everyone in our party had everything we needed. She was friendly and prompt with everything. Hard worker and hope she gets some kind of praise for this review! I would come back for the salad bar and soups again! read more

Sizzler - Salad bar! Delicious toppings! - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

The first time to eat there since the renovation. I wanted a steak so I thoight I would give them a try. My order was the small rib-eye with baked potato. Then I thought about other vegetables, tomatoes , lattice, etc. With the new menu you have to pay extra for a salad? So I had to settle for a very bland meal of meat and potato. I really used to enjoy the one trip to the salad bar. I guess it is all about profit and not diet. I understand other Sizzler sites still offer the one trip salad bar so maybe I will go there. read more

This is another great sizzler location! I think all the locations are revamping their interiors because this one looks updated. The salad bar was well stocked with fresh veggies and foods, tables and seats were clean. I always go for the double Malibu chicken with a baked potato add butter, sour cream, and chives on top. The servers were all so friendly and attentive making sure we had refills on our drinks and cheese toast! read more

Update time! Five Stars because they take pride in customer service, keeping things clean, food variety & taste. There's plenty of booths & tables in a warm atmosphere. They get plus points for the Salad Bar. Those of us who miss Souplantation will probably understand. I wish prices were lower of course, but the place is quite popular so guests must find it do-able, or at least worth it. Study the menu board featuring Steaks, Lobster, Burgers, etc. There's a Senior Menu with at least 4 entree selections. You can upgrade to include the salad bar so inquire about that. There's a Children's Menu as well. You can also join their e-club. The seasonal salad this time was Sweet Potato & Pomegranate in a dressed lettuce mix & I liked it! There are soups & hot items as well. You can put together all kinds of creative concoctions! Located across from Los Alamitos High School. Ample parking. Great for a solo lunch, a twosome or a group. The staff is very attentive. Oh, and there is that cheese toast! read more

My coworker and I would visit frequently for the side salad, we are not big meat eaters and we never cared for the other food items only the salad. Well Sizzler decided to take it away and force everyone to purchase the whole salad bar at almost $20 per per. So sad that we won't be visiting this location anymore, maybe thats what they wanted who knows. read more

This was my first time at Sizzler and I was not disappointed with my New York strip steak, it was well seasoned and didn't really need that my A1 sauce either. I ended up getting the build your own salad and baked potato with my steak also. The complimentary garlic cheese bread is worth the hype also. They have a decently sized salad and taco bar also along with soft served ice cream. Our waiter Beverly was amazing too in getting me more lemonade for to go. I was overall very impressed and I look forward to coming back. read more

We had lunch and the experience was good overall. The staff was welcoming, checked on us often, and kept our drinks refilled. The restaurant was clean and not too busy at 2pm. The unlimited salad bar had lots of choices and everything was fresh. We ordered the Steak with Unlimited Crispy Shrimp and the Malibu Chicken with fries. The fries were soft and tasty, and the cheese toast was delicious with cheese on one side and soft bread on the other. The tiny shrimp came in a large portion the first time but was a little too oily, so we asked for another plate with less oil and it came out much better. The steak was cooked medium rare but turned out chewy, which was disappointing. Aside from that, the food was just okay but the service made the visit even better. read more

It's absolutely shocking that Sizzler is still in business and people eat here, willingly. Even if it were free, I'd go elsewhere. "Steaks" are unseasoned, unflavored jaw workouts disguised as beef, sides are forgettable, and the salad bar couldn't be more mediocre if it were on lethal doses of steroids. Prices are astronomical for the "quality" of food you get. Seriously $40+ for a "steak," god awful shrimp, and a salad? How does anyone with half a taste bud left tolerate the food. Best thing I can say is the food is cooked, you're unlikely to get sick from eating it, and you can tone your jaw muscles trying to chew thru the "steak." On second thought, if you like sizzler, please keep going and leave the real food to anyone with more than one tastebud left. Staff/servers/hosts, whatever you want to call them are great, however, unless they start bringing in food from other restaurants, I can't see going back unless I'm playing a joke on someone I absolutely hate. Friends don't let friends eat here. read more

We went to Sizzler in Los alamitos after they remodeled it. We were super disappointed and left without eating! We're seniors and always got the senior:smaller meals that came with a side salad and drink. They no longer offer these meals and all the prices were much higherwe won't be going back because it's no longer a good deal. If I want to pay those high prices, I'll eat at a better steakhouse. That area has lots of seniors so I'm sure we're not the only disappointed ones. read more

We decided on the salad bar for dinner since it was so hot outside. The salad bar is fresh with lots of variety, the hot bar was good as well. Service was great! Highly recommend. We will be back. read more

Craving a salad bar so off the Sizzler we go! Consistently good salad bar offerings. Service is excellent! Today I tried the Prime Rib Burger instead of the usual Tri-tip Steak. Burger definitely was a disaapointment. Great bun, lettuce, tomatoes, and dressing but the meat itself was a bit rubbery, like it came out of a steam warmer vs charcoal grill. Definitely stick with the steaks! read more

This used to be one of our favs, but not no more. They painted the place and raised their prices especially for seniors. Boooo

I have eaten here probably 100 times the past 10 years. Since they remodeled, I came in today to check it out. I ordered the senior shrimp and chips and found that they no longer offer the side salad or soup with the senior meals. Very disappointing. The wonderful staff said they are not happy about that and have received many complaints. My daughter had a birthday perk of a free drink which I later found I was charged for, along with my own drink. If the owner continues to not conform to the printed menu on the website he will soon know closing for good! read more

I was in the mood for soup, salad, and something filling--and where else can you get all that for a great price? Sizzler, of course! I came right when they opened, and everything was fresh. The food was good, and the server was friendly and attentive. It's always a good sign when staff and regulars greet each other by name--it shows they care and build relationships. Solid experience! read more

Well, they have a small plates menu, which is great for seniors and a great dollar value. You can spend just as much going to In-N-Out or a burger place for that matter but instead you get baked potato or rice, vegetables, salad, bar or soup with your choice of meal which is chicken Malibu, chicken, shrimp or steak. Plus you get the toast and a drink and it's as low as $12.99 up to $17.99 . This is a senior menu. read more

Some sort of pasta cold selection Employee who clean up our dirty dishes was consistent Overall. 3 star rating is fair for the quality of the food and such read more

Whoever the manager is on Saturday evenings, has no idea what he's doing. My autistic son only eats pickles when we go out to eat, most establishments, even fine dining restaurants accommodate this request for no charge, but this freaking guy tries charging us 5 bucks for a ranch size cup of pickles. Had zero empathy for the situation, even the cashier understood. Like how hard is it to give an autistic kid a side of pickles? What a crazy experience. Over the 7 years we've been doing this, this is the first moron we've ever had that got flustered over this. read more

I haven't been here in years. Got the ayce salad bar. It's decent enough. Tacos. Wings. Taquitos. Spagetti and meatballs. Soup and salad. Remember to ask for garlic cheese toast! Service was friendly and fast enough. Seniors get a drink included. The food is very filling. They use to have baked potatos on the bar but now its wedges. And there used to be shrimp and guacamole but not now. It's quier on here with an okder crowd and families. People seem generally pleased with their food. It's mice to pay ahead so you can just ho when you're done. Highly recommend for a nostalgic sizzler meal. Cost me $20 and that included the tip. read more

I went to this establishment with my mother for evening rations awhile ago. We ordered and paid for the food before we were seated. I ordered rib eye steak and French Fries. I had "Wooder" to drink. Steak was delicious. French Fries were decent. I was glad that the cheese toast is now all you can eat. Service was good. Men's washroom was a little small but clean and paper towels were available... good. This establishment rates a rare perfect score. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would get an A. read more

I'm a vegan and never expected to ever return to Sizzler again, but I find that I really like the place now. Obviously, the steaks, seafood, etc. are not my thing, however, the salad bar is great, the service is very good and the baked potatoes are not bad either. The ambiance is so-so, but I don't expect a The French Laundry or Nobu when eating at a Sizzler. Overall, I was pretty happy with the experience. read more

Always great food. The salad bar is well supplied with many options. The steaks are delicious and very fair prices. Compared with other steakhouses, Sizzlers beats them hands down !! read more

Best Sizzler around is in Los Alamitos We usually drive down to Lake Forest to go to the best Sizzler in Orang County , hnown as "All American" Sizzler. This one is just as awesome and not so far away. Everything at the salad bar is fresh The food bar has potato wedges, wings, mini corn dogs, taco/nacho bar. There are plenty of types of potato salads and other stuff. The wait staff keep everything clean and are on top of keeping drinks full and cheese toast served. If you need a steak or salad for a good price in some uth LA county, this is a great choice. It seems to be a favorite for people all dressed up in their church clothes on Sundays. It doesn't have a theme, so .... No easy nickname for this one. read more

Sizzler - Clam Chowder - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Haven't been for a while and got home a little later then usual so wife suggested Sizzler as it's close by. It was very good and service was excellent. When I went to pay I thought it gave me the option of 10 percent but it was $10 dollars . Not very clear. They close at 8:30pm and around 8pm one of the employees started vacuuming the carpet. It was a huge backpack type vacuum. Very noisy. They started on the far side of the restaurant and worked toward the salad bar where we were sitting near by. It got so my wife and I could hardly talk. Very rude of the employee and very incompetent of the management to allow that. We were not the only ones in the restaurant, either. Won't go back that late every again. Will pick somewhere else. read more

Acknowledge GUEST in line.. I was waiting while waitress was talking to MAN at register discussing an issue she had out on the floor. When she left he turned aeohnd and started folding plastic bags. I walked up to counter and WAITED for him to acknowledge me. He turned around finally and said "yes". I said I would like to order.. And we're they open. He said he thought I was looking at the menu (I was standing well past the menu and was looking toward him and the waitress. He replied just come up and order. Huh??? Would be nice to be greeted.. So he said what did I want? I decided I wasn't WELCOMED so I left. Very disappointing... read more

I had actually been to this exact Sizzler years ago and had enjoyed it, which is why I recommended it tonight to a friend. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food tonight. The fried chicken wings, pasta, potato wedges and barbeque chicken bites had been sitting there for a while because they were not hot and dry. The chicken noodle soup and taco beef were way too salty, while other items like the artificial crab salad and clam chowder were bland. (I have been to the El Toro Sizzler and still remember the Garlic Toast there being absolutely amazing - it was really mediocre here.) The server, however, was hardworking, attentive and friendly - which is why it wasn't a lower star rating. In addition, the lettuce and salad bar items were extremely well kept and fresh. Before I was finished, they brought out new barbeque chicken bites which were delicious when they are fresh, but they made the mistake of piling on the cold and dry chicken on top instead of tossing it out. The pickled beets, peach slices and the lemon parfait were probably my favorite things tonight, which are pretty sad choices to be favs. I have never wanted to stop eating at an all you can eat salad bar before I was full... that is, until today. Fortunately, I am not a local and probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Sizzler has been a staple on the California coast well before many of the chains we frequent today came to be. But despite this, many of the Sizzler locations have been dwindling in the past few years. I personally have not been to a Sizzler since the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why I was interested in giving them a try after noticing a location in Los Alamitos. Coming in on a Monday afternoon around 12:30PM, I was surprised to see a decent crowd of people eating in. Although the restaurant wasn't packed full, it was lively enough to make a fun eating atmosphere. The eating experience was just the same as I remembered it from the past: View the menu on the wall, place your order at the registers at the front of the restaurant, and select a table in the dining room. Sizzler still has the variety of choices you'd come to expect like their Malibu Chicken and Steak and Lobster. However, I decided to fall back on Sizzler's Unlimited Salad Bar which was $14.99 at the time of this review. Of course for a buffet-style meal, price to portion becomes more irrelevant than if eating a la carte. However, there is great value in Sizzler's Salad Bar that makes it a hidden gem even today. Salad Bar prices can range based on which day of the week and whether you go for lunch or dinner, which is why lunch on a weekday is the best time to go. For 15 dollars, there were many pre-mixed salads, a customizable salad section, a few hot soups, a hot appetizer bar, a selection of fruits, a few dessert trays, and a soft-serve machine. In fact, there were so many options on the buffet that I did not get to try everything. If looking for quantity for one of the lowest prices around, the price to portion ratio is very good! As for the quality, it's exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. In other words, it was actually better than I remembered before! From the soups I tried, I found the clam chowder to be the best as it was creamy and had a decent amount of clam inside. As for the salads, the Strawberry Fields Salad with almonds and cranberry raisins was a favorite. But should you want to create your own salad, the selection of vegetables were fresh. Over at the hot bar, I was only able to stomach the fried chicken wings and buffalo popcorn chicken. But for these items, they were very delicious! Both had a light coating, the batter was seasoned with pepper, and the chicken inside was moist and well cooked. Be sure to grab a plate of both as they tend to run out fast. As for the dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and cookies and cream "cheesecake" on the buffet. And to that end, both were quite light and easy to palette. I wasn't sure what I was thinking skipping out on Sizzler until now! At fifteen dollars for an all-you-can-eat lunch in 2024, it's very hard complain about what you're getting. In addition, there is a large variety for different appetites and the food quality was above par. Those being said, its clear that Sizzler's salad bar is a hidden gem that continues to earn 5 stars. Don't sleep on Sizzler if looking to fill up on some American comfort food or are looking to eat lots for a smaller price tag. read more
