This was the best Sizzler I've been to in a long time! I upgraded to the ribeye (+$12.99 from the usual sirloin), and it was cooked perfectly medium so juicy, flavorful, and definitely worth it. You really can't go wrong with the trio. We arrived late at night, so there were quite a few dirty tables, but overall the restaurant still felt clean and well-maintained. Service was attentive, and everyone in our group had a great experience. Looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

I came to the Pinole Sizzler yesterday with my fiancé and his parents, and for some background, I haven't been to this specific location or honestly any Sizzler in about a decade. The last time I went, I remember being pretty underwhelmed by the food, so I came this time with very low expectations and really only planned on eating from the salad bar. We ordered the flavored lemonades, which were just okay nothing special. The salad bar, however, was **immaculate**, and I was actually very pleased with that part of the experience. Unfortunately, the customer service is where this visit went downhill. My fiancé and I came back to the table with our salads, and the waitress came over and checked our receipts. This really rubbed me the wrong way. If you've ever been to Sizzler, you know you pay at the counter **before** you're given your plates. This isn't a traditional buffet where you walk in, grab a stack of plates, and serve yourself as much as you want. You are given a specific plate for each person who paid, along with a cup for soup. So when there are **two empty plates sitting directly across from me, I don't understand why my receipt needs to be checked again. I had already paid, received my plate, and was sitting at the table eating the food I paid for. I've never experienced that at Sizzler before, and it came across as very strange and unnecessary. Maybe there was an innocent reason for it, but from the customer's perspective, it felt like I was being monitored or suspected of something. On top of that, our actual waiter never came back to check on us. We weren't asking for anything excessive, but basic table service and checking in on your customers should be expected. Then, when someone came to clear the plates, my father-in-law made a lighthearted, completely harmless joke about her being safe from the homeless taking the food we discarded outside. She blatantly ignored him. Whether she found the joke funny or not, after he said thank you to her a simple "thank you" or acknowledgment would have been enough. Ignoring a customer who is speaking directly to you is not good customer service. The frustrating part is that the **salad bar was actually great**. I came in willing to give Sizzler another chance after not visiting in roughly ten years, and the food itself gave me a reason to consider coming back. But the overall customer service made the experience uncomfortable. This restaurant seriously needs to invest in some customer-service training. The little things matter. Customers shouldn't leave feeling like they're being watched, ignored, or inconvenienced for simply being there. I came in with low expectations, and while the salad bar pleasantly surprised me, the service unfortunately confirmed some of the reasons I hadn't been back in so long. read more

I haven't been to Sizzler for a long time but, for my 80th birthday, I thought why not. I got the rib steak and my wife got the salmon. Both were cooked perfectly and the price was right. The cheese toast was as good as ever! The salad bar looked great as well. This business has been around for many years. In my opinion, it's certainly a viable option for a casual dinner out. read more

My husband absolutely loves this place. There's a big parking lot. I got the salad bar it's unlimited with soup. My husband got a steak. The price is okay. I did like that they had menudo and I got some of that really good. With the salad you can get nachos, hard shell tacos, salad, soup, and ice cream. That I do think it's an amazing deal. The food is good but they had their loyal fan base since there's not a lot of sizzlers left. read more

Sizzler has been in business in Pinole since the 1980s. I don't want to say anything bad about Sizzler but it isn't the same with I dine here with my parents. Seem like the restaurant has gone downhill. I will say the food at Sizzler is good! The inside of Sizzler has been maintain well. I have not seen any damages inside. The only Sizzler in the Bay Area and still in business. I just hope the place does not closed down due to bad service. It is a Pinole Landmark. read more

I know the food isn't the greatest but I love their salad bar buffet. The ingredients seem fresh, wide selection to choose from, good salad dressings, some other warm dishes included and dessert.

Outback is no longer down the street, came here for a Meat fix... Week day around 4:30pm dining area was perfectly not crowded. + My Heineken was nice and cold. + They had the MLB playoffs on TV. + Pleasant music also playing. + Ordered Takeout, and it was brought to my table. + The Cheese Bread. PS (Your duty is to check for desired condiments before you leave with your takeout) * Don't over-wait for the Cheese Bread to be delivered to your table, ask politely. * 65 of age is the Senior Discount here, but we all know now-a-days everything is expensive. ::The best deal around is an IKEA Breakfast:: read more

Food was ok. Server rarely came by our table so we had to get up a couple of times to go request a drink refill. Lady working register wasn't so friendly and makes me feel weird for using a free salad bar offer I was emailed. She came by to help the waiter clear dirty plates so we asked her for boxes for our leftover meals. She was very meticulous and saying I can give you 2 boxes for meals and didn't want to give us a container for our leftover toast. It was so unusual. Wasn't a friendly experience. read more

I have now been back here for the salar bar lunch and the service was poor. She did not bring me any of the cheezy bread but did to everyone else. It seems like she was focusing on service to the large parties instead of myself. All she did was place an extra plate and bowl on my table and say 'excuse me', and didn't even ask me if I wanted the cheezy bread, which is supposed to be included. Last time, I even left a cash tip because the server lady was friendly and brought me out the bread right away, but this time, no tip. Based on this spotty and inconsistent service, I'm having to now leave a much lower rating. read more

Well I have to say I remember when sizzler was a really good restaurant. You can still get a fairly decent steak there but not like it used to. I'm not sure what happened This location is all right the dessert bar was horrendous and the ice cream cones were stale it is pretty pathetic. Also some other areas worn as clean as they were usually are I remember the waitresses would be busting everything cleaning things up making sure everything was presentable not here. I remember when you can get a bowl of soup free. You would get a complimentary soup. No more I was really surprised that the size of the steak though look at my picture. I don't know if I'll go back here again read more

I come to this place every once in a while with the fam because my dad and my sister really like this place so here we are. My dad ordered a steak and Malibu chicken which came with baked potato. My sister and I just got a salad bar. The food here is aight. Nothing particularly impressive... However, for what you pay for, the food comes with great affordable value. If ya know you know. Usually when I come here, the service is decent. However, on this visit our waitress barely visited our table and only refilled our drinks once... But maybe this is just an off day service wise. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating and the bathroom situation here is ok. In summary, is the food here the best? Nah not really. But the food isn't bad either. With how expensive everything is nowadays, what you pay for here comes with great affordable value. Anyways... try it out if you like. :) read more

The Sizzler has so many options and it gives you a double bang for your buck. My mom wanted to go to celebrate her birthday and of course I was all in. It's been a family tradition for as long as I could remember. No matter which location you choose, you will probably over eat and that's the good part. Marybelle the waitress knows my mom for being a regular and she catered to us by going the extra mile, her I loved. read more

Arrived around 5:00pm. The place was noy very busy We placed our order an got our drinks fine, After almost an hour waiting, I noticed that a large group that had ordered a few people after us was being served their orders while we were still waiting for ours. Went up to the cashier to ask if there was a problem with our order as to why it was taking so long for order. Her answer was that my wife ordered the 6oz steak well done and that was the reason for the delay. At that point we asked to speak to the manager who never appeared. At that point re requested a refund of our order and left. We will not be returning. read more

Dear Reader, It was a very pleasant experience! I came for my (5 year member) 'free meal.' I was able to order anything on the menu :) my server was delightful - both friendly & efficient! The chef cooked everything perfectly. There is bright lighting w/ music playing, but not too loudly. My table was clean & tidy. I felt comfortable & not rushed. I recommend a visit here! read more

7/8/24 . We visited yesterday. It's Sizzler and not House of Prime Rib so you know - its Sizzler. We have been going here maybe once a year for about 30 years so that is impressive on them! When I was younger and poorer Sizzler seemed (and was to me) like fine dining. Now that I'm older I had the senior discount salad bar for $13.99. The unripe pineapple cubes needed to be cut in half with a knife if you insist on choking one down. The other items were ok. My wife had a steak and pawns. The steak was about the size of a dollar bill and about as thick as the small end of a wine cork with almost the same chew. With the price of beef (due to -c'mon man let's go, you know who.) it must be hard to eke out a living selling steak. I liked the prawn my wife shared with me. The restaurant was as clean or cleaner than I have seen it. One ol well dressed gal eating Sunday after Church lunch somehow managed to create a pile of used napkins under her chair, but overall the place was clean and organized. The furniture cushions looked new and the salad bar and other areas looked fine. This restaurant has always been too big and busy to have one toilet for every male or those identifying as male to use. As I walked in that direction, I started to sweat with my stomach growling, imagining the restroom would be occupied or filthy. Hallelujah! It was both unoccupied and clean. The only problem. No towels or hand dryer. There was no way to dry my washed hands except with toilet seat liners and that takes extra minutes and frustration picking the pieces of wet liner off your hands. I couldn't track down a staff member to inform them. No staff on the floor and the cashier was bombarded with a crowd of excited diners. Hopefully the next restroom user reads this review and brings along napkins. **** For hanging in there all these years! read more

I was just excited to see your sister still open and I forget about that this place even exists in the Bay Area. We ended up going one Sunday after church and I think the salad bar is still worth it I mean it's just like any other all you can eat buffet about $20 for one person and I think that's fair and a lot of the offerings are pretty good and decent. The grill food is questionable but again it's pretty cheap and it's almost like eating fast food at a sit down spot. If I go again it's just for the salad bar cuz it was worth it. read more

Haven't been to sizzlers since I was about 8 years old! I ordered steak and some fries my steak was medium rare and tasted amazing! I even got the salad bar I love the tacos and mini corn dogs!! My most favorite is the cheese bread! Now my least favorite part was the cashier missing some orders and there was no first responders discount on top of that he said the lemonade mixed with strawberry wasn't refillable, the manager took care of us the whole time and we asked her if it was and guess what IT WAS! So instead of us being upset with all the mess ups we looked into the bright side manager helping us and getting taken care of after. Either way I know the place is old but it's in great condition hope this place stays longer because this is one of my childhood spots! read more

$80 for salad bar and 2 meals. Never got extra plates after the first set. Never got drink refills. Never got "all you can eat" shrimp since we never saw ANY waiter the 50 minutes we were there - including 30 minutes after eating and waiting for anything else we actually paid for. We'll be disputing this with the credit card company since we didn't get what we paid for. There's been too many issues with this location .. so we won't be coming back anymore. So much for the Sizzler rebrand. I guess the owners if this location couldn't care less about anything. read more

Sizzler - The menu. - Seafood Near Me - Pinole, California

Our experience wasn't that great. We stopped to get a bite to eat following a meeting with a funeral home. Imagine our emotions following such a time. They brought food for 2 of us, the 3rd order was inadvertently forgotten by the Chef. We waited another 20 minutes for the order which came back wrong. We asked for a refund of the order and they graciously agreed. After getting home and checking the receipt, we noticed that the salad bar got refunded instead of the expensive steak dinner which was the problem. May be it was just a bad day but I am not inclined to NOT go back because the Manager failed to value us - the actual paying customer. read more

Manager rude. I called to resolve my order issue. She hung up in my face. Told me she gave me my item. I honestly didn't have it. I called back after slam in my face. She held the phone and never said anything. Ethiopian lady or close to it accent. Plates left on table dirty. No one gives clean salad plates or napkins or refills. Takes 39 mins for someone to come get your receipt off of the table. Bathrooms are gross. not a good experience. She really hurt my feelings. I was going to come and get my correction. Instead rather be unprofessional for no reason. read more

I would give it negative a star if I could. The chubby bussing woman while we were having dinner at this location on the 19th of April around 9:15 pm was very rude because when she was bussing the table next to our's, she was purposely throwing the dishes to her cart obviously trying to intimidate us so we would rush our dinner since we were one of the last of the 2 tables left there that night. Not to mention the other younger skinny male employee working at that time there who closed the ice cream station while there were still customers inside who had just finished dinning. I even ask this male employee why he closed down the ice cream station when there are still customers inside, his response was "he had to wash the machine. " As a paying customer who had left them a generous tip in advance, since that is how their system works, finds the attitude of these employees very unprofessional and very rude and should not be doing any work that involves customer service related duties. Needless to say that we are not returning at this Sizzler location and definitely would not recommend it to anybody based on this horrible dinning experience. read more

Today (01/31/2026) my parents and I just had lunch between 1100-1200. The customer service with the cashier was great! She was very polite. The waitress was AWFUL!!! She greeted us when we first sat down but after that .... She checked on every other table a couple times except ours even when we tried to flash her down. And I know she saw my Mom try to flag her down but she still didn't come to our table. I had to get a to go box from the cashier who went to the kitchen to get one because she didn't have any at the front and even brought it to our table. That waitress lost out on a nice tip because my Mom tips big. Sizzler ... You need to talk to your waitress and teach her more about customer service ... I rated this place two stars because of the cashier. I could have easily rated 0-1 star because of that waitress. read more

The worst Sizzler I have ever been to. I would never recommend this location to anyone. Salad bar has no plates out, you have to depend on the server for literally everything and sizzler has never been known for their speedy service. Dirty tables everywhere, salad bar dirty and because no plates people are using old dirty plates for seconds. Big shoutout to the cashier thou, he helped get me plates, napkins and drinks, what the server should have been doing. read more

I hate to do this, but how else will they do better. I went there Monday night. I ordered 2 meals and a salad bar. She repeated it. Went and sat down and realized I had no salad plate. She claimed I didn't order one (she repeated it, but she didn't charge me for one), and I didn't catch it. Went to the salad bar, and still no server to our table (to pick up the ticket). Finally a young man came, and told me that they were out of bbq sauce (I ordered ribs). I told him ok, I'll still take them, and will try them, and take them home if sauce is needed. 45 min pass. No food; mine or my mom's. I looked over across the restaurant to see that the server was helping another table, large party, and come to find out my food was sitting on the table behind him while he helped them (why not drop off the food first?) Now food is getting cold. I went and asked the cashier about my order because it had been almost an hour. Server brings food over (barely warm), and asks if I wanted the works on my baked potato, for my rib order?? The slip said I did. Another 15 min passes and still no ribs. I asked for a manager, and I was told she left. I finally realized they there was only ONE server for a 1/2 full restaurant. When I went to ask the cashier about my order, a few more people came to complain about the server "disappearing," repeatedly asking for things and not getting it. I was headed back to the salad bar and the server brings me a bag. What is this? You said you wanted your ribs to go. No I didn't! I said I would try them and if I needed sauced I'd take them home. I'm frustrated now, so I request a refund. The cashier processes refund and I sign. The server comes to the register and asks if I got my other order. Why would you ask me that, you brought it over to the table. Seems the cashier had done a full refund and not a partial. I didn't pay attention, I just signed the slip. Now I have to wait until they figure out how to fix this error. The server is now processing the refund error, and explains it to me all wrong. This was just a real bad night. How can you only have one server, one cashier, both young, and you, the manager, goes home???? It was more people cleaning tables than anything. I hope this was just an off night. But it was quite frustrating. read more

This message is for seniors. I'm asking all of us to boycott the sizzler in Pinole. Please call and tell them and here's why. My wife and I are seniors and we used to get the senior plates at sizzler because it was affordable. I liked the fried prawns (6 prawns and a potato for 12.99 and My wife, the Malabu chickedn one piece of chicken and a bake potato for 14.99 just 2 weeks ago those meals included a small plate. Just big enough you can have some healthy vegetables with your meal. NOW. they just said if you want anything healthy to go with it you have to pay 8 more dollars per person for the full salad barl. for the 2 uf us that adds SIXTEEN DOLLARS to a meal for 2. The reason I ask that you tell them is because I know that the management is trying to find a solution to the problem. They're meeting with the owners and will most likely offer us something . Even an upcharge of 4 dollars would be fair but not 8. In the past they tried to do away with the chicken wings on the buffet but people complained about so they brought them back. I hope they fix this. now its too expensive for us. read more

My son & partner love this place, especially the salad bar. I'm not a huge fan of their food. The shrimp taste & look like that from the frozen food section of the grocery store. The steak is the cheapest cut, but they prepare it well. The salad from the salad bar is okay & I like that I can prepare it to taste. The best part is that my son can pick exactly what he wants and I know he will eat his food. read more

It is what it is. Service isn't great. We weren't visited to refill drinks or clear plates once. $3.39 for one cup of soda is a bit pricy. For greater security, there are three locks on the women's restroom stalls. Maybe they've had "problems" and that was the solution?? Also, there are handmade "paintings" in the women's restroom made with what appears to be human feces. Some new. Some old. Most are smaller pieces of "art." The clam chowder has a strange aftertaste reminiscent of cookie dough. If you eat it at the same time as the soft serve "ice cream" at the end, it's kind of like cookies and cream. tldr; Food is mediocre approaching bad, service is bad, human shit on the bathroom walls, etc. Good value for the money. In some places in this country, this would be considered five stars. read more

So very disappointed. We ordered take out because my brother-in-law wanted it. It was not ready when we got there but that is not why I was disappointed. The steak was cut up into pieces instead of whole which was so weird but made my dog happy. That was not why I was disappointed. The salad was a good size but not as crisp as I would like. That was not why I was disappointed. Do you what to know why I was disappointed? THEY FORGOT TO PUT IN MY CHEESE TOAST!!! The whole reason to go to Sizzler is the cheese toast. How in God's Name could they forget that? All of us were so disappointed. The meal was a C rating at best. Sorry Sizzler. You are dead to me now. read more
