Haven't been to a Sizzler in years! I'm talk about like 20+ years We stopped by today and i dont know if it was because we were hungry or if it was actually really good Got the 6oz steak and shrimp plate and added the unlimited salad bar. Steak was pretty good! Asked for rare and it was just how I asked. The loaded baked potato was so good too after mixing it all up. Definitely will come back for the real test! to see if it was good because we were hungry or was it actually just really good overall lol Server was a vibe! Loved her! She was so happy and friendly! Forgot her name but she was here 6/2/26 around 7pm! Wait!!! The bread was so good random sorry.. bye I'm stuffed! read more

I loved the service! Upon ordering at the front, the person was so friendly and welcoming. I love Sizzler since it's part of my childhood. The salad bar was fresh and was always getting refilled along with the kids' foods and soup station. I love that they have kept everything pretty much the same. The menu over the years has updated. read more

I'm giving them 5 stars solely based on the customer service we received tonight. We were a party of 8 and Ofelia took care of us all night by arranging tables together for us to all sit together, checking in on us and providing us with to go boxes and bags. She made sure we were all taken care of and couldn't have had a much better experience than we did tonight. Aside from that, the food was pretty decent for the price you pay for food here. I got the steak and unlimited shrimp for $22.99 and had no complaints. Mashed potatoes aren't the best so I would probably order a different side next time. Definitely not a bad place to eat that's budget friendly. read more

Sizzler - Steak & Crispy Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

I wrote a raving review of Sizzler last week. I went back last night. It was a Sunday dinner and there were lots going on. I can't say it's all bad but it wasn't all great. My kids steak were supposed to be medium rare but arrived medium to medium-well. My wife's steak was not seasoned but no harm done as we had salt and peppercorns at the table. The salad bar was also missing taco shells and they ran out of fried chicken. The only saving grace is that the cashier told us ahead of time that some items are missing. This time around the restaurant was almost full and the staff seemed to be complaining they were running out of this and that. It was a bit chaotic this day. The kids' steak were still pretty good but just overcooked. My wife complained it was a letdown. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I rate this visit as 3 stars. So our 2 visit average rating is 4 stars. I will still come back but I'll stick to a weekday. read more

Even if you don't eat meat you can get very full of their salad and taco bar it's great

The service here was alright, just regular nothing spectacular. The ambience was a regular Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the alright turned into something rad... I was just about ready to eat but I saw a cheese stain on my plate. And don't forget the toast made my mouth begging for water I never got. Consider this rating a good one for how bad my experience was in this Sizzler read more

Customer service is barely minimum. We saw our server when he dropped off our drinking glasses and then again when he delivered our food. He never followed up to assess whether our food was ok or if there were any issues. He never brought more bread. My husband's chicken breast was extremely overcooked. I requested no sour cream but of course there was. I asked the person behind the counter for a box - to which he responded to check with our server. I responded that we haven't seen our server! I went to the bathroom and, while I was gone, my husband went the counter and was given a box. I've had better service before but never substandard service like this. Try visiting the Santa Clara to get a clue as to how service should be. I will avoid SJ Aborn Road in the future! read more

I thought the food was disgusting for $67..salad Bar was gross the blue cheese tease like crap if that's what it was still unsure about that. there was hardly anything to pick from in the salad bar. All you can eat salad Bar it's because there's nothing to eat at the Bar. It was disgusting. My daughter got a steak that cost $18. Are you kidding me? I could've went to grocery outlet and found a better Steak The food is disgusting. I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Save your money. read more

Was nice to eat here, the person who bussed our tables at the end if the night told my friend he had left his bag in the booth. Food was okay, but they kept the salad bar clean. I think it is worth what you pay for read more

I visit this establishment frequently. while Spending time with family in San Jose. Management? I really don't know Management staff. Food: Great Cooks: Great Strong Servers: Marietta, Jasmine, ophelia and a man with a thick mustache " Hispanic Two woman servers Apparently a couple, all they do is talk about their relationship I come here to eat and enjoy my meal not talk about relationships. A man server Jerome? He is a very slow server! He constantly forgots requests like add'l all you can eat shrimp and extra napkins " Ect" I hope this review is helpful.

Loved it! Just as awesome as I remember- haven't been here in decades but was so impressed of how the amazing lunch buffet still is! Wow! They have everything--build your own taco, pinto beans, chicken wings, meat(fried) bits, spaghetti/meatballs, few pasta salads/soups to choose from, fresh prepped salad bar with at least a 20+ items to pile on your plate! Nachos! Delicious assorted fruits! Wow! The best part is they have a Self Serve/ice cream station--also, including non-fat frozen yogurt, which I Never see anywhere with yummy toppings! They even had iced coffee along with iced tea and all your favorite beverages. All of this is included for seniors(over 60) $14.99 with tax, the regular price is three dollars more --I think still a great deal! I never see all this stuff offer anywhere anymore! How wonderful they include your your beverage and desert in the price! Let me not forget to mention, they still have their signature Cheesy Toast--I remember that when I was a little girl!(back in the early '70's, lol) It's still amazing! This will be my comfort food zone to go to often! Thank you Sizzler for staying committed to pleasing your customers and serving great quality food! Truly an all-you-eat buffet! read more

Lunchtime salad bar is pretty amazing. It's more like a smorgasbord of options. They have a senior discount which also includes a drink. Highly recommend. read more

I love coming here, especially for celebrations! I had a party here and everyone enjoyed the food and had a great time! read more

The place has been there for over thirty + years Met up with a friend it's like a Home Town Buffet vibe. Jenny was an amazing server. The salad bar was a busy place. The seating is interesting. The ice cream self serve was popular. Food was okay. Baked potatoe was over cooked so dry the condiments stuck to potato skin. Kids screaming adults were screaming it was a circus going on Friday night. Parking lot was being redone on a Friday night no signs if closed or how to get into restaurant closed parking. Overall it's a reasonable place for family and variety goodies to choose from. read more

Very bad service didn't get utensils, cold bread the steakhouse ribs were definitely not worthy of the name. So disappointed I remember when I would go with my grandmother its was good quality good food, good service will not be back for there food maybe the salad. read more

Sizzler - This is the Steakhouse Ribs for $19.79 wow just to let you know I did eat 1 rib and ate the baked potatoe. - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered on GRUBHUB. Steak was fine... rice pilaf was over cooked plain rice. No butter, no flavor, just plain. There is a reason this company is going out of business. This is no longer original American food. BTW, I am Asian. They don't cook American food anymore. read more

With my family having a nice dinner was so good the endless shrimp was off the hook. Our waitress was so awesome. The service was so fast and courteous. She kept bringing us back necessities for us to have a great meal. The food was so awesome. I love the state, the baked potato, the endless shrimp, the salad bar, the clam chowder, the ice cream with peanuts and chocolate oh my gosh heaven you get it all in one spot the advance was a little packed, but hey, that's what happens when there's the restaurant has good food. read more

Sizzler - Sizzler - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

What's cooking at sizzlers?! We ventured to the establishment for the first time today, since we have not had sizzlers in over 30 years. Feeling the interior decor was nostalgic. Customers queue up to place and pay for their orders before being seated. A tray with all necessary utensils and a drink cup is handed over. Tipping is deferred until after the meal, left on the table. Guests seat themselves and manage their own beverages, while a waitress delivers bread options, if you ordered the buffet, they do not have the friend chicken strips in the buffet table but rather bring a bowl for you. The ordered meal is brought to the table, with the waitress overseeing the dining experience. Additionally, there is a complimentary ice cream dessert bar where you can indulge to their heart's content. I opted for the shrimp scampi and steak combo. The steak proved challenging to cut due to its tough texture, and the pasta arrived somewhat cold, with the cheese failing to melt. The overall flavor was satisfactory but not remarkable - nothing extraordinary. However, the affordability of the menu is a definite plus. For the sake of memories I think it should stay there and not relive the past. read more

The food is amazing. I love the salad bar is unlimited. Also, they have nachos to soup. You have to love a place that serves unlimited. My tip is buy a plate and save it. Eat from the salad bar because I was full from eating all the food from the salad bar. I love the diy taco station I love some tacos. It is amazing. I very much recommend coming here to get the unlimited salad bar. The service is amazing as well. My family and I were served by Emily. She is super nice and kept checking on us. Now that is great customer service. Plus, the place is super clean. Usually, some restaurants have very messy salad bars. Not this restaurant! It is nicely organized. I recommend coming here and trying the unlimited salad. read more

This is the best Sizzler I've been to. The food was great and customer service was superb. The manager was very kind and also introduced himself to our table. This is now our to go to Sizzler from now on. read more

I am a cheerleader and after my game I came here at 8:30. Although they close at 9 my mom and I assured we would be quick but all the staff here was absolutely amazing!! The food was delicious and came pretty quick. While the staff was cleaning up, they still offered us more food, drinks, ice cream and toppings. Everyone had a friendly smile on their face and I have never been to a restaurant more welcoming and kindhearted. read more

I'm an east coast guy and most sizzlers on the east coast don't exist any more, but here in Cali I got to try sizzler and I actually love this one. Now hear me out I'm not coming to sizzler to get fried chicken or shrimp. The fried shrimp is actually ok but not something I'd come here for. I say play it safe. Grab you a nice big steak have it charred nicely on the outside and medium to medium rare on the inside get you some onions and mushrooms sautéed and he a loaded baked or regular baked. Have you a soup and salad and you won't be disappointed. read more

This location has always been accommodating and the cheese toast and salad bar are a must. Their rib eye and jumbo shrimp are my usuals with the occasional lobster tail as an extra treat. It's a great place for parties and the service is attentive and friendly. read more

We love coming to this Sizzler! We have our celebrations there and the management and staff are so accommodating to us. Food is always cooked perfectly and the salad bar is fresh and stocked. Thank you for making our visits so special read more

What I like about this place is how cozy it feels. It's one of my go to places after the gym (which is right across the plaza). I would give this place a 2/5 stars for cleanliness. The food they give you is at the right portion where they are not overfeeding or underfeeding you. Since I don't each much, this place is perfect for people who love eating small portions of food. There's always an all you can eat salad bar for people who eats a lot, but I usually don't get that since it's not really worth my money. I got the double lobster tail and it is a solid 5/5. Another thing that I like about this place is that you pay before seating yourself. I know it's optional to tip, but do it anyways for gratitude. I was surprised that the cashier gave me the cash that I tipped for them because I expected the tip money to go through every workers, but no, it's for our waiter. It's pretty cool because if you don't like that person, you can keep that tip money for someone else, but this tip money goes straight to the waiter. Our waitress was super accommodating, even during a rush hour. read more

We come here for birthdays and celebrations and always greeted with smiles and the best service. This is probably one of the only places around that have a salad bar and the ice cream is the best.

I've come here on numerous occasions. The staff is always attentive and very friendly. We've come here for salad buffets which offers up enough variety for our crowd. Other times, we've come in to order steaks or steak and chicken combos. I prefer steaks only since chicken can get a bit dry. Also, they serve up buttered texas toast to each table. read more

This Sizzler location has been here for so many years. But what sets this location apart from the others is the service. The staff is always friendly and makes sure you have everything you need and more. I love ordering the Malibu chicken along with an endless salad bar add on. The endless salad bar has a good amount of salad options, dressings, toppings and hot food and sides as well. I like making my own salads, tacos or nachos and snack on those before my main meal arrives. Service is always on point. The staff is always giving new plates for the salad bar and makes sure that you know ice cream and drinks are also available. They always have a smile on their face and they bring out everything I need even when I haven't asked for it yet. It is like they are all reading my mind. One last thing, the complimentary garlic bread is so good! Make sure to ask for it if you don't receive any. Yum! read more

I wasn't sure where to go exactly to pick up food because of the pickup side I was told to go to another table. In any case, I met a really cool guy named Josh, who helped me prepare all the food that my wife had ordered.. thank you Josh you are an awesome individual. Keep up the great customer service! read more

I just came here with my family yesterday. The service was great, and the workers were really nice--super friendly staff, clean space, and amazing selection of salad bar. making sure we needed anything else. It sure made it satisfying. I don't understand how people with low lives can start saying negative comments about this place, none of which are true. Sounds like it's personal. People like this should not be allowed to come in to eat and start criticizing. People these days have nothing else to do but start saying things! We love this place. We come here once in a while with our family. We love you, Sizzler San Jose! I give this place 5 stars. read more

Decided to try this place out last night for the first time shortly after someone had mentioned to us how they like Sizzler and that we've got to try it once. We were told that there used to be quite a few locations in San Jose and this is one of the last ones so it's a nostalgic place for many. It was actually pretty busy for a Thursday night. But we got to order immediately. We ordered: baby back ribs w/ veg and a smokey bacon burger w/ fries & salad bar add-on. While ordering I did notice a huge sign that said there's been a shortage of salad bar wings so they are offering chicken nuggets and mini corn dogs instead. Lol. The employee said wings had been out for a few months now. The unlimited salad bar looked pretty decent for $6.99 there were a good variety of salad toppings, it was nice as well that there were different types of greens to choose from for the salad base. The supply chain shortage sign said they replaced wings with chicken nuggets and mini corn dogs. I didn't want the mini corn dogs but noticed that they weren't put out. There were 3 different types of soup, as well as jello, some cut fruit and a frozen yogurt soft serve machine with vanilla, chocolate or swirl. There were not any ice cream cones though. My husband got a salad, vegetable soup, chicken nuggets, and swirl soft serve. The salad was good. None of the greens were slimey or turning and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of toppings offered. The vegetable soup was alright, not the worst but not great. It honestly tasted pre-prepared like progresso canned vegetable soup. The chicken nuggets tasted nearly identical to McDonald's, likely just frozen pre-prepared. The swirl soft serve reminded me again of the McDonald's soft serve id get as a kid. Our server brought us garlic toast. It was thick cut, lightly toasted and extremely airy soft. It was very much like brioche toast and it was nice. I thought it could've had more garlic though and a lot less oil/butter. My baby back ribs. The bbq sauce on them tasted good which I suspect is not house made and likely came out of a bottle. The middle of each rib was pretty good but the edges were over cooked, much drier and kind of tough. I will mention that a lot of the time at chain restaurants - vegetable side dishes come verrrrrrry over cooked. The broccoli side I had was not and I was again pleasantly surprised by it and also appreciated the fact that it wasn't salted. My husband had the smokey bacon burger as recommended by the person that took our order. He really enjoyed it and although looked very heavy, said it wasn't. The fries were good, nicely seasoned and crisp but not overdone. Overall, it wasn't one of the best meals I've had in my life and it definitely wasn't one of the worst. It's not mind blowing, high quality, all fresh no frozen, 100% house made food. But for a chain, it was good. We're glad we tried it out. In comparison to similar level chain restaurants it could be a 4. But overall I'd say it's about a 3.5 at best. read more

No one at front counter to take our order for five minutes. The person who finally showed to take our order was very young. She looked like she was dealing with a personal issue as she was very angry looking and seemed bothered by having to take our order. My husband's rib plate was drenched with bbq sauce. My granddaughters meal (steak) was tough. The salad bar had a lot of empty trays. Our server was nice, gave him a nice tip as it wasn't his fault. Ambiance could have been cleaner, salad bar wasn't kept up and the ice cream bar was a mess. No one cleaning at all. Over all it wasn't worth the price we paid. Won't go back. Sorry sizzler, you used to be great back when. read more
