    $40.55 receipt for two

    The food was just OK, the ambiance was deer antler chandeliers, but Lisa the server was very nice and gave very good service. With all that said, pretty sure we will not be back. We went there because of the buffet advertised online, but they have not had a buffet since Covid-19 hit.

    Was here back in 2006 and decided to come back, as we forgotten this was here. Walking in, you turn left and walk down the aisle way, across the dining room and over to the ordering area. A little confusing- Ordered the 10 oz. Rib eye steak with potato and salad bar. Very clean and well kept up and stocked salad bar along with the buffet bar. Lots to choose from. They have a soup station, dessert bar, sundae bar, fresh fruit station.... The yeast rolls here are like grandmas homemade rolls. So big and soft, melts in your mouth served with whipped honey spread butter. Steaks were delicious. Cooked exactly how we wanted them very courteous and friendly, hard working staff. Definetly will be back much sooner then before!!

    I have eaten here no telling how many times since 2004. This used to be my favorite place to eat at for lunch when I worked here in town. They have always been great in customer service. You walk in to the left and pick up a tray and some silverware. Then you tell them what you want to drink. Next, you place you order and they give you a receipt. When you sit down your waitress brings your meal. I usually order a steak with bake potato. The desert bar comes with it. However, if you want the salad bar too that will be extra. The steaks are usually sirloin and they are flamekist at that. Meaning they are cooked on a grill with a flame of fire. I always ask for A1 steak sauce and they bring it. There is always Western Sizzlins own steak sauce on the table. You pay when you leave. This place is always packed but you can always find plenty of parking though. Other menu stand outs: You can also get the buffet here. It's all you can eat. They have everything you can think of plus more. Their salad bar is always fresh and attacked by me if I get the buffet.

    It is been a long time since I've been to a Western Sizzlin. I just had a hankering to try one out. And you know what? It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. 23 bucks got me and my wife two buffets and two drinks. That's not a bad price for a buffet. They had a couple of entrees on the buffet, fried chicken and hamburger steak. the food tasted decent enough. For me though, the real saving grace was all the different kinds of gravy they had. and they had some nice ass containers that you could fill up with that gravy, which I then proceeded to use them just about everything. The real Superstar of our meal was our server, Amy. There was never a drink not topped off or a dirty plate left on the table. And she did this from multiple tables. Because of her, this is a four-star instead of a three-star review. One other thing that bugged me about this place is that in addition to the buffet, you can order a potato or steak for extra. In some ways that's good you can order how you want it, I just expected a little bit more for the price we paid. the stakes were very affordably-priced to I believe most of them came under ten bucks. For me though, if I had to choose a buffet I would probably just go to Golden Corral instead. I will say that the service at Western Sizzlin that we got was second To none. I've never had near that good of service at any other buffet.

    A stink bug.

    The food was outstanding. I had a cheeseburger, ketchup only and fries. The food was great. If you go to a restaurant in Athens TN, go here.
