Thank you Adriana for the great and professional service. I've been coming here for years. Very friendly and comfortable atmosphere.

First time here today for a birthday early dinner. There were 4 of us. First we didnt like that we order first before we get seated. We like to look at the menu and see everything, not just pick one on the wall. We felt rushed. Then we were told so seat anywhere. We sat at a booth. 10 mins. Before the server came to us and get our drink orders. 10 minutes. So the food takes a while too, food was okay nothing too great. One of us had the endless ribs, the first order of ribs was just warm, not hot, just warm. But the second one was hot. Steak and the shrimp linguine was okay. I only got full because of the soda. The guy server seemed lost. He doesn't seem to understand what we told him about the to go boxes but he still insisted that one large and one small box was fine. In our opinion, we're not coming back here. Food was okay. Service is meh. read more

This is an exceptional place. The food was great, salad bar was exquisite, the service from our server Leo was phenomenal and the way I see him with his customers including us, I would request for him to get a raise or some Christmas prize for the season. I'll definitely be back here again read more

New owners, new staff, new look! Sizzler has always been a quick and easy spot for us to run when we get a salad craving. The staff is in abundance now, it will be interesting to see how long that lasts. Everyone was extremely friendly, hopefully they'll be able to retain this great staff. The rolls they serve are quite delicious! But of course had to also have the cheese bread, wouldn't be a true trip to Sizzler without it. Salads are always good, the clam chowder was good, and I can never resist making pulled pork tacos as a small appetizer. I was unfortunately too full to hit the dessert portion of the salad bar but they had quite a bit more to offer than has been offered in the past. The decor amused me. It went from being a late '80's color decor to what now reminds me of a casino buffet. High ceilings with neon, large flower arrangements, tv's...not a bad thing, I just felt like I was ready to hit the slots after dinner =D read more

Very accommodating ! We came in for Lunch. My highscool classmate was retiring after 30 yrs of work we had been partying in San Diego all weekend. A party of roughly 25, they took care of us quickly, kindly and clean. read more

Extremely rude , very poor customer service experience. And no knowledge about what is available on the menu . We will not be coming back for a while until I can get their act together read more

I love a lot about this place but I recommend only getting entrees or the salad bar because if you get both you might as well go eat somewhere with better quality food. Fifty dollars later for two people and I didn't even get a entree. This is when the cheap part of me looks at my man and says if you wanna spend that kinda money here okay. They give you baby steaks and their shrimp was soggy because of the juice from the steak. One good thing I've always loved is their house vingerette omg I could bath in it it's more than good. I will just go for the salad bar in the future. They have good chicken, banana pudding, cheesy toast (it's free just ask for it or they won't bring it), soup, and other random almost seasonal like items too. For buffet food not bad but there's not a lot to choose from. read more

It looks like sizzler may have pest problems. After noticing ants on my plate, I immediately let the manager know. He said "We've had problems with ants but can't use anything strong enough to get rid of them." If that's the case, it may be time to fumigate. He only offered to seat us somewhere else, but by then I had lost my appetite. Despite not being offered a refund, I still left our waiter a generous tip. We immediately left and probably won't come back unless we see a tent on the building. read more

I have been coming for years and I always have the same problem. I order the Senior Steak which comes with the side salad. I understand it may take the server a moment or two to get to my table. The problem is many, many, many times both the salad & entrée arrive at the same time. Why can the cook not see there is a salad with this order and wait on it. OH YA! It's been given to them the moment I pay for it, I'm not even at my table and the steak is being cooked. The server has not even been to my table to find out he has to dash and get DRINKS, SALAD, ETC, ETC, ETC. The only solution the brainless manager (s) have given me is. When I come in tell the cashier to put the steak on hold. Can I ask you, how many restaurants do you even remember doing that. That is not MY problem. This is a system problem with the restaurant and I will continue to complain about it until it has been fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

we went to sizzler in vista, lobster was overcooked, falling apart from shell, chef just placed the pieces of lobster on top of shell..we returned this order and they brought us another overcooked lobster, just pieces of overcooked lobster, falling from shell. it was stuffed lobster unto its shell. worst service we have ever had at sizzler!!! new waiter and waitress and management. miss our old sizzler and personnel. never had any problem whatsoever with sizzler before. it was our favorite restaurant. left with a sour taste, not satisfied at all. leo was a great server, do not know if he still works here. to be honest, pains me for this review, but if i can spare the pain of anyone else going to what we went thru, it is worth it. loved sizzler...... read more

We stopped in before everything got shut down due to the Coronavirus on Fridafternoon. My sons love the garlic cheese bread and we like the salad bar. Everything was fresh and very good. Best salad bar around, and so much variety. Soup, taco bar and dessert included for a little extra. Everything was great, Leo was our server and he was so friendly, really nice experience. read more

leo is a great friendly server it was a great pleasure eating here at sizzlers i will recommend family and friends really food servers here

My bf and I went to Sizzler's today for lunch. We both got the endless salad bar. They had a lot of options to chose from. Our server Leo was very attentive and had excellent customer service skills! He offered us each a baked potato, cheese bread, and dinner rolls (this was all included with the salad bar and did not have to pay extra)plus he checked in with us often to make sure we didn't need refills or anything else. Will definitely come back! Great experience. Thanks Leo! read more

This had to be the worst sizzler I've ever been to. My steak was bone dry and burnt, when I asked for rare! The 6oz sirloin was so small and my boyfriend got his medium rare but his turned out overcooked too. The new shrimp options they offer at the front counter aren't very good and I wouldn't recommend it. We tried both and ended up eating more at the salad bar. We don't plan on coming back here ever again, especially when we've had better food at other locations. This one just didn't meet our expectations and I would highly suggest going to eat somewhere else. read more

Before the virus this place used to be awesome used to come here at least once a week now the last few times I've ordered from there and picked up the food was crap after the second time I called up they said there was nothing they could do about it because I didn't have the receipt even though I had gone into my bank and got a printout because I had spent over $30 and they still could do anything I don't recommend this place anymore like I used to read more

Nothing like standing in line for 15 minutes to order. To them also have to wait for the cashier to take a phone order. To then complain to a worker about the wait only to be told they are running behind. Not acceptable. Well, the food was good as was our server, Hugo. The manager later came tot he table and apologized, but nothing more. All well, its Sizzler. read more

While my friend and I were waiting for our main courses to be prepared... our awesome waitress was super friendly and made sure we never ran out of garlic cheesy bread or refills of our drinks. This place would make a great restaurant for date night or even large social gatherings of maybe 10 people or so. The buffet had plenty of other dishes like spaghetti, tacos, bread pudding etc. and the salad bars area portion of the buffet seemed to have a lot of dishes a vegetarian might love. I personally love knowing I can save just enough room in my tummy for the soft serve ice cream offered here. There really is something for everyone to enjoy here. read more

Horrible service. When they fucked up my order, the server gave me attitude. It took another 15 minutes for me to get my food, and to be honest, it still wasnt right. I will not be coming back here and I will be calling the manager. read more

Had not been here since they closed for Covid and did some remodeling/revamping. The Covid features were in place and the service was great last night. Mom had the petite rib and I had the salad bar. The meatballs tasted like they had fillers in them, they were not quality meatballs. Other than that, everything else was fine. Excellent and attentive server and the place was clean and well spaced out. read more

Pls don't even brother to step a foot here!!! The Manger FRANKIE is a completely ass hole!!! I waited more than 30 mins for my FOOD I went back to the register to get a refund and refused to give me one !! Never coming back read more

Decided to go to Sizzlers with the family and the service was good. Zane was very kind and helpful. Constantly came around to come and check to make sure everything was good. Other than that, the food was garbage. All the food that we received was rather cold or felt like it was put into a microwave for 20seconds. My brother got Tri-Tip Sliders and his first Slider had a bone in it. My Italian Herb Chicken was slightly cold and mashed potatoes were cold. All that was offered was a Free Salad Bar and not a refund, the salad bar was even more depressing. The fruits tasted like they were sitting there for hours. My Dad ordered Sirloin Steak and they messed up by getting him Rare instead of Medium-Rare which wasnt too big of a deal, but when he bit into it, it was too chewy and tasted rotten. The side of asparagus was burnt and didn't have any flavor. Also, my cousin had ordered shrimp, the first bite was not all the way cooked through. It seemed that all of our food was rather rushed or not cared for about quality. My sister got the Sirloin Cuts without the Onion, and first of all, it came with the Onions, so she decided to put it to the side, screw ups happen. However, the center of the food was absolutely cold, the outside was decently warm. Overall, was not happy about this experience. The only good part of this experience was Zane, he did his job well and served us properly. Will not be coming by again. read more

My friend and I have. Lunch occasionally at the Sizzler on Plaza Dr and have to say how wonderful the Food and service is each time. We wanted to especially Mention Leo a waiter there that is exceptional and always has a smile on his face and ready to assist. We wanted to Also mention the manager, Brea. Her team i Leo is the best Waiter at Sizzler! He is always smiling and courteous. He makes our day whenever we go there and today was the same! Awesome service!! We even asked for Leo's section so he would be our waiter!! read more

This was my first time ever at a Sizzler and this place blew me out of the water! My dad went there for lunch on a Wednesday and I ordered a top sirloin steak & he got a tenderloin w/ mushroom mixture of yumminess & we both got salad bar access as well. Little did we know that there is a huge salad AND food bar in the back where the manager seated us. Their salad options are extensive & even have fresh made ones like ceaser & such as well. The only bad thing I have to say is that they didn't have a more oily balsamic vinaigrette dressing.. it was more creamy, but still tasty. We had a killer server by the name of Leo. He brought us drinks, delicious cheese bread twice, promptly took our dirty plates, brought extra napkins, told me I should try another flavor of lemonade and brought me a second cup before I was done with my first, got us to-go boxes, & even to-go cups, all without us even having to ask or lift a finger. I will be back. Definitely. read more

This was my worst experience at any restaurant. The food is overpriced for the portions they serve, and although the waiter was excellent the food came horribly undercooked. We ordered two steak and lobster plates and at the register they presented a display card with the different degrees of cooked meat. We requested medium well and got medium rare. The lobster was still transparent on the inside indicating it was NOT COOKED. We flagged down someone who presented himself as the manager. He apologized and sent it all back to replace and all they did is recook the same food. The manager Sebastian did not offer any compensation and even after we asked the server to ask the manager to come out, Sebastian refused to come out until the server insisted. I indicated to him that my lobster was the same one I sent back and was still uneatable and returned it and he still refused to offer any kind of compensation. I will find some way to get my money back even if I have to go to corporate offices. I certainly would not recommend this location to anyone. I have no idea how Sizzler trains their managers but this guy seems like Sebastian had NO EXPERIENCE OR MANAGER TRAINING. As for the cook he must have came from the same corporate training program, because he obviously had no idea how to cook. Last point....how can Sizzlers expect you to pay a tip before even receiving any service!!!??? We did not choose to tip at the beginning and obvious it effects the quality of food you get. read more

Great service. Came here while getting tires on my car nearby and so glad I did. Hit the spot, food was good.

Avoid this trap. Been here twice because i forgot how bad the first time was. Over priced for bad quality enough said.

Absolutely the cleanest, freshest, and most delicious Sizzler we have ever been to. Our server Mindy was super friendly and took great care of us. We took time to thank the manager Sebastian for running such a perfect restaurant. Thank you all for a great dining experience. Mike & Linda read more

This is a great place to eat. Always clean and the staff is very friendly. Isabel was very friendly and the manager Brianna was going around to all her guests and making sure they were enjoying there meal. I would recommend this restaurant anytime. read more

Awesome place with awesome service with awesome food. Yummy in my tummy. Stupid Yelp is saying that my review is too short to post so I am writing this comment just so it can post. read more

Sizzler - Thanks Sizzler. - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

Great service, great ambiance though the decor is just a little too much and the seating feels very crowded and awkward. The service is always perfect and the food is consistently great. read more

We ordered salad bar. Nice assortment of veggies. There was some protein in the form of wings and surimi. There were 3 soups and taco fixings and mac'n'cheese. Biggest downside? There were no labels describing the soups, desserts and balance of salad bar. So, basically, it's a mystery. read more

I give this place a 5 star for what it is. I don't know how people can say the food is bad when I have pretty good taste, and it is the best buffet I've ever been to!! The hostess/cashier was very friendly and talked with us and showed us around the salad bar, which looked great so that's what we got. My friend got a steak along with it and she was extremely happy about it. They delivered the cheese toast and sweet roll and...it was so delicious! I have never had such delicious bread in my life, and I'm not a bread whore usually. Everything was so good on the salad bar...very quality stuff! I compared it to hometown, and it blows that place away! The salad fixinz were fresh, the soup was good and hot, the mac and cheese was pretty good, I can't complain! I was especially impressed with the taco section, as I am ALWAYS disappointed in buffets with a mexican section. They have a great tasting chicken fajita mix, pulled...I think it was pork? maybe chicken, so tender. I scopped up some guac, thinking it'll be like all the others, and it tasted like i make it at home! I'm dreaming of the day i go back next week! I never thought it was this good, so I never went until my birthday, 6 years after living here. My bad! My friend, who usually hates the idea of even GOING to a buffet was excited for once, and she hates them all. That should tell you something. Some people just have no taste...i mean no offense, but some people think good food is crappy for some reason, and that crappy food is good. I don't get it. Don't listen to the bad reviews on here. They either have no taste, or they probably don't want to eat good food in fear of getting fat and they want to hate on it. It has to be one or the other. No wonder things/places go downhill...it's THOSE people that they listen to. Well this place does NOT need to change, imo. Lastly, if i was to give the place good suggestions, I would say for one, there needs to be better signs on the food. Sometimes I was guessing as to what I was eating, but I didn't care since it was so good. I'd still like to know though. Secondly, I think the desserts could be improved. However, the banana pudding was the best quality I've ever had on a buffet. I think it's fake and chemically at other places. The rest was...eh...I'd have rather eaten another sweet roll at the table. And finally, my soda tasted a little watered down and they are not cheap for soda. So, the price should be lowered definitely. I'm glad i chose not to go to golden corral, but I guess I should give that an honest chance as well, but not anytime soon, ha. read more

From our food to our service everything was exceptional! We really loved our service from Leo and will be requesting him as our waiter in the future. He really knows his stuff. A+ rating from us! read more

Forgot how awesome this place is! Right when u walk In you are greeted by friendly staff. Food is super yummy can't beat the salad bar bargain. Super clean and we'll organized. read more

This was our first visit to this Sizzler. Leo was our waiter and he was amazing! He was extremely friendly and efficient. We never had to wait for anything because he was so quick with everything we needed. I would definitely come back. read more

Great place to have break fast, lunch or dinner. Always fresh and the location in oceanside has the best waitress ever Leo he is always happy quick and great attitude. Best service i had ever had. read more

Excellent costumer service by Leo very professional very kind. He made our experience at sizzler excellent

The food is always good! Our server, Leo, is the best... attentive and friendly. Thanks, Leo!!

We've been here twice in the last week & the food & service is always amazing! Were "avid" Texas Roadhouse people but the one in Oceanside has been subpar for us since we moved here. We were recommended here by a friend & we will not be going to any other stake house in the area. Steaks are always perfect, food is always fresh & hot & the salad bar is amazing & over the top 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing steak dinner! They have a steak & unlimited shrimp that is an amazing value on top of the "salad bar" that includes hot appetizers & desert. Best food we've had in the area read more
