Man!!!! I tell you I love a good salad and soup bar and this location was the perfect place!!!! Super fan of Sizzlers and a good one that is still open is like a gem to find!!! They keep a clean restaurant. Friendly service. Salad bar is kept cool, tidy and full. The hot bar stays a great temperature and the soups are tasty!! Love that they have a bit of everything if you can't enjoy the salad bar there is a variety of other meal options to try. Steak combos are great!!!

Salad bar was fresh. Steak was over cooked but they quickly replaced it with a perfectly cooked one.

If there's a restaurant that is NOT on the U.S. continental East Coast, its Sizzler! I remember seeing one in Orlando a very long time ago, but no more. The closest Sizzler location is in Puerto Rico from Florida. My partner and I were visiting his uncle near this location and wanted to have a good lunch with him. I've heard they remodeled this location and it looks good! You order at the counter first and the menus are on the wall. Lots of great options for steak, shrimp, unlimited salad bar, pasta, burgers, ribs, and more. The staff and servers were welcoming and friendly as well. I ordered the Steak (medium-rare) & Unlimited Crispy Shrimp with fries. My partner had the unlimited salad bar and uncle had Steak & Shrimp Scampi Fettuccine with unlimited salad bar option. My steak was cooked nicely as medium-rare and easy to cut and eat. The crispy shrimps were like "popcorn" shrimps a little bigger than a quarter size. The salad bar looked clean and amazing and could see both my partner and uncle enjoyed creating their salad mountain. Also, they had a taco bar, pasta bar and dessert bar (soft-served ice cream, toppings and brownies). Overall, completely satisfied with our meals and did not disappoint for us. Very jealous that uncle lives less than a mile from this Sizzler and wished we had them back in Florida. Definitely going to visit again next time for more items!

On June 5, 2026, my wife, daughter, mother-in-law, and I visited the Sizzler restaurant in Merced, California, for what we expected would be a pleasant family dinner. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the unprofessional conduct of Manager Leah, leaving us feeling embarrassed, humiliated, and singled out in front of other customers. When we arrived, the young employee who took our order was polite, helpful, and professional. My mother-in-law treated the family to dinner, while I separately purchased a salad bar on a different transaction. When completing the purchase, I was asked if I wanted my receipt and declined, as I did not anticipate needing it for a simple salad bar purchase. After we were seated, my wife went to get her salad. At that point, Manager Leah approached our table and demanded to see proof of purchase for the salad bar, stating that her server, Mya, had informed her of something concerning our order. Her approach was abrupt, accusatory, and inappropriate. We immediately explained that the salad bar had been purchased and suggested she verify the transaction with the employee who had rung up the order. Despite being given multiple opportunities to confirm the purchase with her staff, Leah continued to question us. I ultimately had to leave my table, locate the employee who processed the transaction, and bring her over to confirm that the salad bar had indeed been purchased. Being publicly questioned and treated as though we were attempting to steal was humiliating and made our entire family uncomfortable, especially as other customers watched the interaction unfold. When we asked Leah why she chose to confront us before verifying the facts with her staff, she responded that "everyone does it." This explanation was unacceptable. We are not "everyone," and we did not observe her approaching other customers who were using the salad bar. We then asked how she intended to address the embarrassment and discomfort caused by the situation. Her response was simply that she was sorry and that there was nothing else she could do. Afterward, she retreated to the back of the restaurant and did not make any further effort to resolve the matter. Another employee, Ashley, provided us with the corporate contact information after we requested it. Due to the humiliation we experienced, we asked that our meals be boxed up because we no longer felt comfortable remaining in the restaurant. What makes this situation particularly troubling is the feeling that we were unfairly singled out. While we were being publicly questioned over a paid salad bar, we observed other situations in the restaurant that did not appear to receive the same level of scrutiny. This left us questioning why our family was treated differently. No customer should leave a restaurant wondering whether they were targeted because of their appearance, race, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic. We believe this matter deserves serious attention from Sizzler's management and corporate leadership. Customers should be treated with dignity and respect, and managers should verify facts before publicly accusing paying guests of wrongdoing. We hope Sizzler takes this complaint seriously, provides additional training to its management staff, and ensures that no other family experiences the embarrassment and humiliation that we endured.

Very clean, family friendly environment. Food was on point and Destiny was attentive and very sweet! Will be back again!

After a long day of driving visiting Grizzly Falls of Sequoia National Park, on the way back passing Merced, we looked for a sizzler since we just wanted soups and salads. Luckily this one was on the way and we stopped by. The place is in a big shopping center so we had plenty of places to park. The restaurant looks new and very clean. It's been a few years since we've been in a Sizzler. The salad bar is the middle of the restaurant as usual. There are many steak specials, but we're only interested in the full salad bar. The price has been up since then, $20 per person now. We did expect that because of all inflation. Quite reasonable although more expensive than some steak and shrimps on special for $17. The cheese toasts here are always the best, crispy and tasty, perfect with soups. The beef soup was very good, although the clam chowder I used to eat wasn't so rich as now. The salad bar has plenty of things to choose from that's why I like. Chicken and spinach salads are always excellent. We also made our own salads with many tasty dressings. The hot foods included with chicken wings, spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, chips and salsa with guacamole. We enjoyed the soups and salads very well. The service was so excellent and attentive with a young lady named Natalia.

I for got to save the food photos. I had a feast. It was my grandmother birthday so we had a party of 16. And I had the triolicious with a salad bar. 5 plates I destroyed. Food was ok for a franchise. The staff was amazing and super nice! Sizzler cool with me.

Main dish and Salad Bar were great. The young waiter and waitress were very friendly. The manager explained the new way the salad bar works.

I had the all you can eat salad bar. The beef and veggie soup was amazing, it had so much big chunks of beef and great flavor. If You know Sizzler's salad bar then you know it has a hot entree section that includes a taco bar (still Not good in my opinion, taco meat not traditional and has strange texture and flavor), spaghetti section, fried food section (wedges and fried chicken wings) could have been fresher and refilled. Service was nothing to write Home about. Some of the workers seemed less than happy to be there and it showed. Not that they were rude, just that they were bored and didn't talk with much enjoyment. I don't know if this is the trend with customer service in all food and entertainment industry but it's almost like workers believe it's ok to share their unhappiness with customers. When I receive exceptional service, I tip exceptionally and when I get no Fanfare I give the no Fanfare tips. Sometimes I give the standard 20% feeling perhaps the person was having a bad day but now I'm seeing too many people having this "attitude" so this is having me rethink my tipping process. So managers and workers if you want a exceptional tip, you know what to do; remember service with a smile. So sorry Sizzler you get 3 stars for restocking fresh hot food entree section and customer service with no smile. My visit cost me $24 that's including tip and I expected more for my money. I'll be back to give y'all another chance, Yelper's stay tuned I'll keep y'all posted. read more

The stars are for the staff, they were very attentive and accommodating. I'm not sure why people are upset about the food, to me Sizzler has always been mediocre so it seems pretty much the same mediocre food. The one thing I was a little worried about was....I thought I saw a bug on the bar but when I turned the corner to check for sure it was gone....so I'm not positive. But I also noticed the staff cleans the salad bar a lot so either they know they have a bug problem or they trying not to have one. ‍ read more

We found ourselves at Sizzler the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a deal where you get a free endless salad bar with the purchase of a meal. That was a great deal. I got the petite steak and potato and that endless salad. The steak was really good and cooked perfectly medium rare. The salad bar was fresh and there were plenty of options. I loaded up on the salad bar and took home my steak to make a sandwich the next day, Perfect! The service was not great. They wanted the 7 of us to cram into a little space in a crowded area of the restaurant. I found a table in the "closed" section of the restaurant that actually fit the 7 of us and they reluctantly allowed us to sit there. It worked out but they did remind us that we were in the "closed section" a few times. By the way, the "closed section" was just the tables on the other side of the salad bar, not a different room or anything. If they have the free salad bar deal, 4 stars. Without the free salad bar it's just too overpriced, 2 stars. That's where I get the 3 star rating. read more

So definitely recommend to give it a try. Bathroom is hidden too and looks decently cleaned.

First things first, its a 1 completely due to service. I can tolerate a lot but once service is bad, there's a spotlight on all other crap. Ally, at the counter, thought it was a good idea to tell my husband & I to wait by an empty register for someone that was actually busy taking drinks to a customer. So, even though, we were at Ally's register waiting to place an order, she ushered us to the empty register and serviced the family behind us. It was indeed a bad vibe. The family behind us spoke up asking if we ordered. Ally says, "oh no, the other girl will take care of them" and proceeded to take their order. The younger lady looked at me like WTH?! I was instantly livid and felt the blow of racism slap my face. Clearly, so did the family behind us. The older lady of the family even apologized at the salad bar, stating her embarassment for Ally's actions. We choose a table and the server makes her way over after almost 20mins and introduces herself. Priscilla: the most inattentive server we have ever encountered. By this time, we were in need of plates. It took her 10 more minutes to bring those. I asked for napkins. She took so long to attend to us I used the bread basket to get chicken wings from the buffet. Long story short, I had to walk to the register area to request plates. She passes me twice and never brought napkins. I had to go to the register area again and request napkins. At this point, Im doing her job. Yet, she kept asking if we're ok after my trips up to the register...I'm thiniking, "GIRL BYE"! I said, "Im fine. I went and got everything I needed". She says, "Im sorry". (Ya think!?) We were in this area in August and the service was great. The food was good, too. Today, the food was not good. Tri-tip soup was a bit chewy, bland pasta and marinara sauce, dried taco meat, half-crunchy corn tortillas(as if they sat out too long) and extremely overcooked chicken wings. My swirl icecream was all chocolate...lol! The bread pudding and peach cobbler looked like it would choke you out due to it's dryness. The salad bar was awesome. The service at the counter from Ally and on the floor from Priscilla warranted this review and absolutely no tip. We did not complain to the manager but he was made aware, in my presence, of Priscilla's bad service by the young lady that took our order at the counter because she was not understanding why I keep coming to the counter to request items Priscilla should be giving us. So, she told the manager. This was useless. I had to go up to the counter for refills. He was at the counter and said he'll bring it out. Instead, he had Priscilla bring the drinks to the table. He didnt bother to even apologize for Priscilla's service. Im looking forward to writing corporate AND we won't be back to Sizzler in Merced, CA. read more

The Sizzler in Merced is truly something else. Let's begin with the manager Robyn. She sexually harasses the male cooks by making lewd comments and making reference as to how "she likes", making innuendos and not speaking of food - and had to be told by management to straighten up. In regards to Human Resources, this does not exist, legally anyway. The manager has been overheard speaking of employees and their personal issues; relays all information that should be considered confidential to staff; favoritism runs rampant in the workplace and she has a BAD attitude toward customers, has been witnessed by many,staff and in telephone transactions. Some staff need their jobs to get through school and this is their life - some are pushed to the limit of just leaving and regretting their whole experience in working at this Sizzler. Human Resources at headquarters has been involved - let's see if there is change. Unfortunately, it is the ONLY place that is considered a restaurant in Merced. Salad bar is not fresh. When inspected, there was mold and mildew under the items. read more

I was very happy with the food and service at this Sizzler location. I am from Southern California and all of the Sizzlers I visit feel run down, have bad service, are dirty, have empty buffets, and the food is low quality. The Sizzlers in Southern California have gone downhill over the past 10 years unfortunately. I was pleasantly surprised with this Sizzler location in Merced. It was the feeling of Sizzler from the early 2000s. Great service, clean environment, full buffet, great food, and amazing service. This Sizzler even had Coke products! Most Sizzlers have Pepsi. This Merced Sizzler should be the model of how all Sizzlers are run. I want this management brought down to the Southern California locations. My server was Priscilla and she was so helpful that I was never able to completely finish my drink. She made sure I always had a drink and everything I needed throughout my time there. 5 stars for Priscilla! I highly recommend this location. read more

For my dad's birthday last weekend, we came to Sizzler in Merced and we hit the jackpot by being seated in Yasmeen's section! From the beginning she was great! Yasmeen was so sweet, she stayed on top of everything and checked back in on us to see how we were doing! She was also quite informed on the menu & selection of choices to choose from. But what I just love was how Yasmeen went a little further to create something special for my father's birthday. Her and other staff sang "Happy Birthday" and soon the whole restaurant was joining in, my dad's face glowing with pride. This is a moment we will always remember. The food is, as always, but it was the first-rate service provided by Yasmeen and her colleagues throughout our evening that made for a memorable visit. If you're in Merced- please go to Sizzler and ask for Yasmeen. You won't be disappointed! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sizzlers and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of customer service I received. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly demeanor by the hostess. She promptly seated me and asked if I needed anything else to make my dining experience more comfortable. My server, Kimmy, was equally as attentive and provided excellent recommendations. She was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions, ensuring that I was completely satisfied with my order. Throughout my meal, she regularly checked in with me to ensure that everything was to my liking. It's rare to find a restaurant where every staff member is so dedicated to ensuring their customers have a great experience, but Sizzlers certainly delivers. read more

Our recent visit to Sizzler was more than enjoyable. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our disabled family member, rearranging things to ensure comfort and ease. Our waiter, Destiny, was outstanding. She stopped by frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly, bringing extra plates and refills without us needing to ask. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our dining experience even better. We were also impressed by the helpfulness of the man at the front desk. He assisted in ensuring everything was in place for our needs. Overall, Sizzler provided not just a meal, but an exceptional dining experience with top-notch service. Highly recommended! read more

Our Server Was Lissandra she was outstanding and amazing if you're looking for a place that combines comfort, value, and flavor all in one, Sizzler is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the inviting aroma of sizzling steaks and freshly baked bread. Whether you're a regular or it's your first visit, Sizzler makes you feel right at home. The menu offers something for everyone -- juicy grilled steaks, tender chicken, flavorful seafood, and one of the best salad bars around. The Salad Bar alone is a standout feature: fresh greens, seasonal fruits, pasta salads, soups, and hot items like cheesy nachos and crispy wings. It's not just a side dish here -- it's an experience. read more

Always checked up and made sure our table was clear. Gave us good vibes, looked like she wanted to be here no attitude. Overall very professional and went beyond her way to give us an amazing time. She was so kind enough, at the end she gave us mints so we can go home to our wives without a stank breath. To conclude, this was the best experience I had in my young years of life!

We had Marie Callendar's and Olive Garden. In the 90's the food was good. I always opted for Marie Challedar's for the vast variety. As the food declined at Olive Garden, I would go with friend and have ONLY the soup, salad, and breadstick. Then The Soup Plantation showed up, and I would opt to go there. The last time I voluntarily went to Olive Garden was 15 years ago. About 10 years ago, my cousin wanted to meet up with us and Olive Garden was closest to his job, and we all met there. Again, I only had soup, salad, and breadsticks. I never had plans to return. I don't care about the good-looking food on the commercials or promotions. The food sucks. I'm going to try and make a long story short... yesterday, I wasn't feeling well at all. My husband has some workers near-by the Olive Garden, and he asked me what I wanted, he was going to pick it up. We both ordered a pasta dish, a soup, and breadsticks. I ordered Shrimp Scampi, Zuppa Toscano, and of course the breadsticks. Simple... right? The first thing I did was look at the bill it was almost $75.00!!!!! Knowing my husband, he over tipped. I first noticed that my serving was only half of what it should have been. I wasn't feeling good and didn't have much of an appetite anyways. I don't know where to start, but the pasta was almost SAUCELESS and STUCK together. What little sauce was there was BLAND. The shrimp weren't cook toughly, the asparagus was over cooked, and they gave me mostly the woody-splintery ends. The tomato chunks were mush, and I just couldn't eat it. So, I moved to the Zuppa Toscano soup. The broth was white colored, flavorless water, big slices of potato, and the roughest kale pieces ever. Yall should have just left it out or raw. Who???? Can jack-up a breadstick??? The breadsticks were BLONDE, FLAVORLESS, DRY, BRICKS. My husband ordered the seafood pasta. What a joke. It had small marble sized scallops and a few shrimps; but the kicker was the MUSHY OVERCOOKED broccoli. He couldn't eat it either and he abandoned the whole eating activity. He didn't even open the soup. I just threw everything into the trash; there was no saving that meal. This question is for general management Marci Anaya. Do you monitor what's happening in the kitchen? Do you see the food before it's packaged and sent out to the consumer? Do you care if we actually get our money's worth? Do you really understand how much pasta, shrimp, veggies, and soup with breadsticks I could have actually bought with $75.00??? I could have invited over 10 people and fed each one until they were full. This is a disgrace. I WILL NOT EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER return. I don't care who's inviting me, my answer is NO! If anything, I would like my money back!
