I don't know how this sizzlers is still open at this point. My husband and I both decided to try sizzlers out after not having tried it for a few years. We were small children the last time we had it (23 now) and I loved going back every time. I've never been to sizzlers in Visalia until today and unfortunately we won't be going back. It's been "remodeled" but I honestly don't see how because it looks plain once you move past the front where you pay. The "clean" dishes are dirty, it definitely doesn't look like any sizzlers I've ever been to, it's stale looking inside and the food is horrendous. We were attended to once by a server as soon as we sat down and never again. They looked to be understaffed as well but there was only a little bit of customers inside the building. I honestly wouldn't feed this food to my dog and he loves anything that's human food. The food was made very poorly, reheated in two microwaves, nothing was fresh, and tasted like it came from the dollar store. Dollar store probably has better tasting food... It's overly expensive for what you get. As I walked out, I seen everyone's plates and felt terrible for the customers and embarrassed for the company and how much they charge for plates with such small portions. A couple of hours after leaving, I started to feel sick and vomited. My husband got a stomach ache. Being pregnant, I couldn't take any chances so I've decided to go to the hospital. I also forgot to mention that with my belly, it was sort of hard to sit comfortably in a booth since they are a very tight fit. It's not the first time it's happened at a restaurant while being pregnant so it's not a big deal but the booths are really small that my husband could barely fit. I really wish I liked this sizzlers and tried giving them a chance but I just have nothing good to say about it, unfortunately. $40 for two adults was not worth it just for salad bar and one soda alone.. There was no good options to choose from. Thankfully we were refunded for the food poisoning going on but it's honestly not worth it. Save your money and go elsewhere. Literally anywhere else. read more

Carpets very dirty and smelly. Place not very clean. Glad I did not see the kitchen. Bad service. Do not recommend.

Are Monday dinner here and I loved it! I was craving fir a prime rib steak and I saw the watermelon strawberry drink, it was soooo satisfying as all sizzlers are. The steak was perfect and the drink was bottomless(they included real strawberrys on the bottom of the glass. The service was great. read more

We saw that Sizzler was open in Visalia Ca so we headed over. It was my sons birthday so of course the guys came over and sang loved it my son not to much. Everyone enjoyed themselves. You can go wrong with salad bars plus wings oh my I was very impressed. Clean and attentive. read more

Went at dinner time no wait line but had to wait a while because no one was at front..my daughter had to literally call so they can hear phone ringing then someone came...then we wanted to pay with 2 different cards because we were splitting the total and they couldn't do that..afterwards I added tip to receipt because I didn't have cash and when we were done I remembered she never gave me the tip amt..I asked mgr because she was the one that charged us and she said I didn't charge you for it..ugh..luckily my son had cash on him..the good thing about that place was our waiter read more

I could give this spot a 0 I would. So disappointed with how this place has become I used to love coming here and now it's just a dump. Very little options for burnt, dry food and the salad looked like it had been sitting there for a while. Please save your money go to McDonalds at least their chicken nuggets have flavor not like here. read more

It's been a long time since I've been here, but I've already managed to come 2 Sundays in a row. Service is excellent, variety of what you can order besides just the salad bar is on point. Best yet the clientele are nice and not overwhelming. The salad bar is not messy and fully stocked at all times. Drinks are flavorful and are never out. If you want a buffet that's cleaner, well stocked and your not gonna stomped on by everyone else without any manners. Than you can't go wrong with Sizzler! read more

The service was good. The ambiance was nice..as Sizzlers go... things looked clean... But I am sad to say... the food was about two and a half stars and since Yelp doesn't have a place to go for half stars... I have to go lower rather than up. I can't believe that I am only giving Sizzler two stars. I loved them. It was my first waitressing job years ago... but the food quality is just not the same, The hibachi chicken was so dry, I didn't finish it and the hibachi sauce is defintely not the same. It was so watered down and definitely not the same. The hot selection at the salad bar was pitiful from any of the old ones I remember and the dessert... well, yuck! I mean if you are'nt serious just offer the soft icecream machine and be done with it.. WHAT the heck was that other stuff??? I am so in support of the old nostalgic places like Bob's Big Boy and Farrells and Marie Calendars and Sizzlers and try to get people to support them to keep them alive but I have to say... at least this one~ should be put out of it's misery... for almost $50 for two... and no alcoholic beverages, but tip included.... I agree with Tim M. in 2008! For the price we paid, we could have gone to a nice dinner. read more

Don't let the bad reviews at this location scare you away. I've been going to Sizzler's for over 50 years and actually this one is pretty good. I will never understand why sizzlers always bring out your steak wayyy too early before u can even begin eating your salad. My fault for not not remembering to ask to hold steak Anyways treat yourself to this sizzler when nearby. read more

The service was Excellent! I would've easily given 4 stars but the portions were a bit too small! The taste was on point with the exception of a rib eye that was a little over cooked. Increase portion size by 15% or lower prices 10% and you'll see a solid increase! More promo's would be nice! read more

I was starving and remember going to sizzler with my family when I was younger so I decided to give it a shot.i am so happy I did the steak and all you can eat shrimp for 15.99 was amazing and such a great price! The service was also amazing. Everyone of your looking for a hearty meal check them out you won't be disappointed!!! 5 start rating for sure. The place could use a remodel but besides that I was extremely impressed!! read more

Very slow service . Took forever to order only one person at check in and she left for about 5 minutes with a line going out of the door. We had to tell her our order 3 times and she still got it wrong. Soup bar had 2 soups not much of a choice. They put in one of our meals as an unlimited shrimp and steak meal ( more $) rather than try to start over my husband said he'd take that except they never came back to give him more shrimp. Food was not served at the same time mine was served several minutes after his baked potatoes was cold and under cooked. I understand restaurants are under staffed but this was ridiculous. read more

I love Sizzler! I haven't been since I was little and let me tell you how happy I am that I went in today! Salad selection was amazing they also have soup, fruits, all you can eat wings and the cheese bread is amazing and just how I remember it from years ago! They also offer dessert! A ice cream bar with different toppings that my kids loved! Thank you to the staff for being so helpful and ensuring we were well taken care of. read more

It was our first time to go back to Sizzler in two years we ordered the senior salad bars. The salad bar was empty of several item yes I went back 20 minutes latter and yes still empty. The server finally came to the table and got our drinks and we asked for bread which we got but that's it we never saw anyone again. Looking at the other tables No server picked up additional dirty plates and let the plates pile up. The salt and pepper on the table were empty and grabbing the almost empty salt on another table looked gross and old. It was sad we don't mind paying for food but not garbage. We won't be back. read more

Way over priced. The total for 2 adults 1 senior and 2 kids was over $50. And that wasn't including the tip plus we went early afternoon on a Friday. We got 2 adult endless buffets, 1 kids buffet, 1 chicken nugget meal and a senior meal. They took chicken nuggets off the buffet and made that a meal option which I dont like because now they charge $3.99 just to add the endless salad bar to meals. Which I think is outrageous. Also a heads up the prices are more during dinner hours and on Sundays. The table we sat on was sticky even after we had them clean it. They really need to get new tables or clean them better. Its sad to say but we will not be eating here again because my husband really loves the fried okra. read more

I came to sizzler today the girl was very rude but our waiter RAM WAS VERY VERY Professional and very polite best customer service I have came across in a long time I highly recommend for a promotion or award for is customer service read more

me and my family came here on christmas. the staff did an okay job and my complaint isnt with them. the food wasnt fresh at all; slimy mushrooms, mushy baby corns, soggy salad etc. there is very limited selection compared to other sizzlers. the place in general needs a major update. i hope that upper management sees mine and all of the other reviews and decides to update this location. visalia is a big enough town and can receive steady business to be able to update read more

Before Covid you could always count on Sizzler to have a delicious little steak and baked potato. My husband and I went when they opened back up when Covid got better. The steak was so tough and chewy I couldn't even eat it. I've NEVER had a steak that bad from Sizzler! We won't be going back till they make improvements. What's going on Sizzler!? read more

Delicious food, ordered the steak, shrimp scampi linguine , along with your choice of veggies or other sides. Service was quick and employees were very friendly. Liked the fact they have the salad bar unfortunately for an additional price still well with it. read more

It was my first time and ABSOLUTELY my Last Time of going to that place. My husband ordered Steak and Lobster, and I was not very hungry so I decided just to have some soup and the girl who took our order charged us for 2 salad bar when I asked her why she told we are charging salad bars to the number of people. The Funniest thing was, she gave us just ONE plate for salad. IF you are charging for two people you have to provide plates and bowls and flatware as many people as you charged. Awful service Awful staff They deserve No star!! read more

Hands down one of the top 5 worst meals I've ever tried to consume. We ordered the steak and Sriracha shrimp with a baked potato. The steak was chewy and flavorless, the shrimp was dry and flavorless, the baked potato was mush, the salad (from the salad bar) was wilted with some sort of mustard yellow discoloration, the banana pudding shots were inedible, the bread was only toasted on one side and the cookies tasted like old biscuits. The only things I was actually able to eat were the chicken wings and the vanilla soft serve-- even that was testing my gag reflex. The service was mediocre at best, the first round of silverware was dirty and the restaurant was filthy. To top it off my boyfriend witnessed a cook leave the restroom, after using it, without washing his hands. Dis-gust-ing. I've never had this kind of experience at any Sizzler location and was shocked at how busy the restaurant was, considering the awful food. I don't know if this is the only "sit down" restaurant in Visalia, but I do know that if we ever pass through this town again and happen to be hungry we'll look for a McDonalds or any other drive thru before entering those doors again. The only pro-- the young man who rang us up when we entered was very efficient, kind and pretty funny. He handled the rush very well and rang us up quickly, correctly whilst maintaining small talk and a smile. I wish I would have gotten his name and I wish that the tip (the first and only time I will ever pre-tip) I left would have went straight to him since he was the only highlight of a terrible dining experience. read more

Came here a handful of times with no problem, but the lady where we purchased food (Sunday-noon time) was really moody and obviously did not want to be there. Her name tag said Katie. No hello,thanks,or smile! Our server named Veronica however was really nice and helpful every time we have went! The food always comes out fast, but I always get my steak well done and every time I get it, it's always pink inside and always had to get it cooked more! read more

Well I ordered salmon and to all you can eat salad bar. We were greeted well however we proceed to the salad bar that was dirty and missing the dressing we wanted we asked a lady that was there filling up one item . We let her know that we had our salad already if she could get us the ranch we didnt want to wait there any longer than we waited she kept clean so I walked over to the door way to see 3 people there so I asked if someone could get us some ranch and I also let them know that we asked the lady out here mind I have my salad in my hand and Ruben said there is only one there instead of getting the ranch really quick . So a gentleman named Ramsey was kind of enough to get the ranch I really thought he was the manager by the way he responded. When I went to sit down I asked our server to call the manager over to our table . It turned out to be Ruben the one who said there is only one person there. I let him know that I really didn't want to talk to if I would of know it was him from his responses I wouldn't of asked for the manager. Then he proceeded to say I was rude and told me that I had to leave and he would refund my food so I said really ok I gave him my receipt and told him to refund it. The he asked for my card I responded you said you were going to refund me. I also said I didn't ask for the refund so figure it out then he gave my receipt and left. I am so sorry for your this person who you have representing you restaurant . I believe it could of been an over site so I am bringing it to your attention. We had Ramsey help us the rest of time there he was very friendly and he seems to have the good of this restaurant . You have a super guest service and quick problem solver. read more

This place hasn't changed since I was a kid the food is still meh at best and the decor is out dated most of the staff wonder around like a chicken with their head cut off once and a while you get a decent waiter/waitress the salad bar is usually not taken care of very well most of the time things are either empty or at the bottom of the pan and cold they seriously need to step up their game and try a little harder I know it's a chain but damn wow way to lose customers! Went there today they used to offer bariatric discounts if you had weight lose surgery on the salad bar not anymore why would anyone who can't eat hardly anything want to pay 10 plus dollars for a tiny plate of food place is a joke read more

We decide to come and enjoy dinner The service was really poor I have to wait more the 15 minutes so I can get a refill on my coffee when the waitress when to help other spiking my table like were even there When to complaint To the manager he didn't did much just send the waitress to serve the coffee she didn't even apologize for the waiting really disappointed read more

Friendly staff and fast service! But the reason I am giving the restaurant 2 Stars is because the buffet has not changed at all!! The salad section is tasty, I loved it, but the taco section and the small hot food section is still lame. They need to change it up! The mac and cheese had no taste, the okra was very bland, the meatballs did not look appetizing at all!! So disappointed!! I wanna come back.. But I'm sure they will be serving the same lame food.. Blah. read more

Sizzler - Seafood Near Me - Visalia, California

Sizzler has definitely been affected by the pandemic as far as the quality of their food goes. Yesterday my family and I had the lunch buffet. My husband added some ribs and I chose some beef skewers. Our bill was $86 for 4 people. A little high but we had been looking forward to eating here since everything closed down last year. Horrible choice to say the least. Food was cold, selection was minimal, staff was practically unseen. Our server only came twice; to bring our drinks and bring napkins that I asked for. He didn't pick up any used plates. We were ignored and others had him at their table constantly. My husband left him a whole $1 but honestly he didn't even deserve that..There was barely any food to choose from.... c'mon now mini corn dogs and chicken nuggets?! My daughter said it was like eating school lunch. Looking forward to trying breakfast. Hopefully its still as good as we remember. Lunch sucked. read more

Great meal and awesome service. Servers were very attentive and helpful. No longer a salad bar, but they make your salad to order.

We only get the endless salid bar when we go.Not many places have okra, build your own tacos, clam chowder ( and other soups ), and a nice salid bar. Then when you sit down the servers bring you your drink and a choice of sweet potato or sweet potato fries, sour dough bread. Yes it's a little pricy but you get all you can eat and a to-go bag if you like. When you can pick what you want, how can you go wrong. The best time for the best price is lunch, after 3 or 4 pm the price goes up for dinner. read more

Food was good, but I think the employee should check up on their customers more often. I needed a refill, but no waiter came to ask if I needed a refill. read more

This is how god intended for people to spend their sabbath. Didn't expect much going in but boy was I pleasantly surprised. I went for Sunday brunch which includes the salad bar, byo omelette, and 2 glasses of champagne. I got stupid full, caught a buzz, and got to mingle with a few of the lovely waitresses (all before church). It's a must try. read more

I love going to this buffet. My daughter loves the spaghetti and my husband almost always gets the hamburgers. I really enjoy the salad bar and the taco bar. Sizzler's have a new drink menu, so I always order their mixed lemonades... non alcoholic of course. The employees are very nice and pay attention to your needs. read more

Sorry to say that Sizzler was a big disappointment. I could do without the salad bar (which was not open), but the 6 oz. steak dinner was nothing but gristle. Ordered it medium, but it was so tough it literally could not be eaten. And I don't know WHAT they did to the cheese toast--it used to be so good... Next time we want steak, it'll have to be Tahoe Joe's I guess. read more

Okay went to the sizzler in visalia again today! My Mom always chooses this place don't know why but she loves this place!! First off our server was GREAT!! I don't remember her name but she was REALLY good!! The prices have really gone up and I don't know why cause the "all you can eat" salad bar hasn't changed for YEARS! I'm 50 and I remember the same tired options they had when I went there as a kid!! SIZZLER gotta redo your salad bar!! The mac and cheese was watered down and I tasted no cheese! But you have 1 thing I LOVED the sea food salad was YUMMMMM! read more

staff very nice and helpful, very clean.gone are my fave at the salad bar were the chicken wings are gone! pretty empty restaurant. food ok. read more

Stopped by here on the way from Yosemite National Park and surprised to see it only with 2.5 star rating. This place is one of the nicest Sizzlers we have been to. The selections are great, customer service is outstanding, and food is fresh. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. Their dessert bar has rice crispy treats! Love this place and glad we made the stop here for lunch! read more

Wow. The level of customer service has completely dropped off the map. Came to my table several times to ask if things were ok, but in the process, forgot to ask if anyone at my table needed a refill, or our plates taken, until they were asked to do so. The food in the salad bar looks old, like its been sitting for a while and developed a layer of dryness on the top. The place is nearly empty..on a sunday, and they still cant keep up read more

Very clean establishment. Has excellent soups especially the corn chowder. The desert bar is basically non existent, unless you like rice crispy cakes or boxed chocolate chip cookies. The shrimp are excellent as well as other meals. Have always received great service. The Sunday brunch is also very good. read more
