I've never heard of this place before. But wha I can say is I will be back. I was very happy with the taste of the steak. And the quality of the small buffet available as an add on to the steak. The wings were very delicious and large sized. The buffalo sauce was beyond delicious. And the bbq sauce was sweet and tasty. The other items on the buffet were tasty as well. The salad bar was plentiful. The prices were reasonable as expected. The staff were all friendly. And I felt welcomed from the time I walked in till the time I left. Thanks for a great lunch. read more

For someone who had never been here before our experience was one we won't be repeating. The cashier wasn't helpful. Ordering was confusing. We received no direction on what to do next. We just had to see ourselves and ask other customers how we got the plates even for the salad bar eventually a waitress showed up, but she also didn't explain anything. The food was mediocre. The iced tea was barely palpable. We would definitely not return here. read more

The food is great and usually the service is too. I often order food to go I'll order 5 minutes or so before closing and typically it's no problem as long as I pick it up before 8:15 when they lock the doors. Tonight April 22 at 7:55 P.M. the girl who answered the phone told me the doors were locked and I I couldn't place an order. Very rude! read more

Steak Potato Good food Good service If you want a steak go here You will not go away hungry read more

I spent way too much on an overcooked steak that had 0 seasoning. Like I don't think they even put salt and pepper on it when they cooked it. Do not recommend read more

Good food and a friendly staff. They have a salad buffet bar and an ice cream bar. Their baked potatoes are huge and have a potato bar for the toppings read more

First time here, and I would go back again. The food was good, waitress tired but friendly. We ordered 2 Med well 8oz. steaks with baked potatoes and both had iced tea. No alcohol here. It didn't come with salad, so I went back and ordered one salad bar. I grabbed him some Mac n cheese and me a one trip salad with ranch and a small cup of Brussel Sprouts. The entrees came with Texas toast but I did need to grab some extra butter and sour cream from the bar. Food was really good and fresh. Definitely will go here again. A little expensive but if your a big eater you will love it. $48 with tip and taxes read more

Oh yeah MOV and yelp the MOV (and world's) #1 yelp reviewer is BACK! And this time it's Parkersburg's own Western Sizzlin that gets my world famous review... where do I begin? Well let's start with the entrance, I let the cashier know that I had never been here before (this is a restaurant where you order up front then just go pick your own seat). She informed me I could get steak, or anykind of meat item really along with a choice of baked potato, fries, onion rings, mashed potato, sweet potato... you get the idea, a whole lot of POTATO! I chose the chicken tenders and my date chose the grilled shrimp, along with each of us choosing sweet potato. Along with the potato they are nice enough to give you a piece of bread... ahhhhh starch mmmm healthy lol. We also could have added the 'potato bar' for an additional $4 but chose against this. We sat ourselves and within a minute or so a woman who seemed to be a lifelong waitress (they all appeared to be lifers here) came and asked us for our drink order. Pepsi products blah blah blah. 2 waters please. "Would you like lemon?" yes please. Waters arrived from a different person and no lemon. Food arrived and my single sweet potato (I didn't order a single sweet potato) along with my dates shrimp and sweet potato... and bread, don't forget the bread, arrived. Along with two tiny dessert looking bowls? They were empty and not sure what they were for. After a few minutes another server brought out my chicken tenders. The food was eh, I mean chicken tenders are chicken tenders really, though some noticeably better than others. These were not the better kind, but I get what I get. My dates shrimp she actually said was tasty, and the portion size very generous. Suprisingly generous. Her rice they were overtop of however was not the tastiest. The sweet potato's were fine, no complaints. Our original server (nor any of the others) ever came back to our table to ask us how our meal was, if we would like refills on the water, nothing at all. This is not a life I would want to wake up to day in/day out :( I probably shouldn't have, but I left a whopping one dollar tip here. As bad as the place is... what's a dollar? If you are in an emergency to eat and have no other choice... or if you really just like bland food (and potatos, lots and lots of potatos... and bread) than this IS the place for you! Otherwise... save yourself the time and go somewhere that's actually good. I'm really not sure how this place even stays open other than it's in the middle of nowhere and also in West Virginia. Maybe the locals love it idk, but not for me. read more

I wish I was emailed every time this place ran the sirloin tip special. I have never had a negative experience here. The steaks, potato bar and salad bar are always more than expected. The staff is fast, friendly and always efficient. read more

Just ribeye steak. It's still good. Next time get it good cooked! read more

Me and my mom went here for the first time in years, and the two blondes at the front desk were so unbelievably rude. At first they didn't even acknowledge us and then then were legitimately laughing and mocking us for not knowing what exactly we wanted ( we hadn't been there in years ) and it was just so unbelievably unprofessional and honestly unacceptable. We just walked out because we're honestly shocked with how bad the service was right off the bat. read more

The worst ribeye ever and I'm 51 years old,half of it was gristle.never eat there again.bottom of the barrel steak,I think they buy there ribeye steak from dollar tree,hard rubbery and no marbling at all.I got it rare and it was horrible... read more

Steak was tastey but a little grisley. Beautifully decorated. Big question on how you do the salad bar - is it included with the meal? AC was dripping on a couple of tables. Overall - would go again. Agree - The parking seemed to be ok but a little packed in too much. Could have used wider parking spots. read more

Great County Style little restaurant. The salad bar is good, but the baked potatoes and grilled chicken are really good. The service is always awesome! read more

Really awful service today. Granted, today is Mother's Day, and they were busy. However, when we arrived, a gentleman helped us with our beverages. He explained that another server would help us, however, he never showed. We waited nearly 40 minutes, and finally had to approach other members of the staff for refills and takeout containers. Our steaks were over cooked too. I noticed other customers having the same issue. It was really disappointing. read more

Flies and gnats everywhere. The food was not prepared as requested. The waitress had a attitude. She never once came back to check on my mother. We will never go back. The old Western Sizzling in the traffic circle would not have allowed such issues. read more

It went from going here once a year now to twice a month and looking forward to going back. Yes, they are out of the way but worth it. It's only a few more minutes so if if you haven't went lately you should. The cost is super reasonable and friendly service. read more

Review for western sizzlin 08.09.11 This place is off the beaten path a ways but it was still easy to access from US50. The parking seemed to be ok but a little packed in too much. Could have used wider parking spots. The area you first walked into could be spaced a little better and had both cash registers spaced further apart so the two cashiers could work more efficiently and there would be faster movement. They seemed to be ok at getting us in but seemed a little off for some reason. The décor was nice and the layout of the place was ok. We seated ourselves and were taken care of promptly. Our meals came to us very quickly. I ordered a sirloin with a baked potato. The sirloin did taste very watered down and it needed tons of A1 to make it edible. The baked potato was really good. I got sour cream and cheese from the baked potato bar. My husband got a chopped steak and he was satisfied with it. He also got a baked potato and he like it too and made it like I did. My mom just got a house salad. My sister got a junior version of the sirloin and hers came out too pink so she had to get a new one, it wasn't all that great either it was watered down like mine was. He mashed potatoes were too limpy and dry and the gravy didn't taste very good. All she wanted was regular brown gravy and this place does not have it. That made her upset and so was I. I am very sensitive to limput potatoes and I would not want to try those. I would prolly puke them up LOL. They had 3 kinds of lumps, dry limps, uncooked lumps, and unmashed lumps. LOL. I kinda gagged thinking about that! In order to fix out steaks we did request some seasoning, however it still didn't make it all that great. I would not get the steaks here. Our watress was ok and prompt but was very willing to correct the orders and even gave my sister some mashed taters to eat while she was wating for the corrected steak. Which was made too pink before. Overall I would give the place 3.5 stars. The resoning is that the steaks were watered down and that's the focal point of the place and the service, even though extremely prompt, wasn't very personal. The pricing was quite high for the lack of quality for the sirloin. Recommendation: good quick place for a baked potato and salad for lunch, or a cheap chopped steak, however the main course of the place leaves much to be desired. read more

At dinner with family absolutely loved it Love the potato toppings and hotfood/ salad bar Everything was so good Server was so friendly and on top of everything Cant wait to go back !!! read more

A little out of the way but the lunch special is great. And there salad bar really is good and doesn't cost that much to add to a meal.

I was so disappointed to find after we paid for our meal that the salad bar was gone. The salad bar is what brought people back time and again. They don't even offer a side salad with their meals unless you pay for it. Also, the ice cream bar that used to come with the meal was an extra $2.99. The price of the meals even went up. I don't think this restaurant will last long now. It's sad because their food tastes really good and their service is excellent, with the exception of the young lady at the register that acted like she had better places to be. A couple of other things, their chairs don't "scoot" on the floor. They're heavy and you have to lift them up to move them. I picked up the salt shaker and the salt was solidified. I got one from another table and the holes were filled with salt and wouldn't work. I even tried banging it on the table. I ordered beef tips medium and they were burnt. The handles on the spoons in the sour cream and butter were laying in the food. I had butter and sour cream on my fingers after I used them. Not very sanitary. This will be my last trip there. read more

OK for a budget, family type steak place. Lots of mediocre food at an OK price. If that's what you're after, this is the kind of place for you. read more

Much better steak places than here. You will get inferior cuts. They do not buy anything close to good beef. Their baked potato bar is good. Just have the A-1 sauce ready to make the meat palatable. Not worth the price at all. read more

While not as good as it was when it first opened, you can still get some good food without breaking the bank. Incredibly quick food delivery, good staff, and full salad bar are what you get. Would definitely recommend a visit. read more

This is another place that is good for the money.. If you get the potato and salad bar don't fill up on soup and salad other wise its almost to much food. I didn't even have enough room for my free dessert. Make sure you try the western sizzlin steak sauce its a little sweeter than A1 but similar. I'll be coming here again. read more

This was simply a delicious meal! The salad bar and baked potato bar were an added bonus! Friendly staff, clean dining area and restrooms, great food, and good prices! The salad bar was packed with salad items, cold pastas, simple desserts, and hot foods... including chicken wings, mac and cheese, and chili soup! The steak tips were absolutely amazing; tasting like or better than those one would get at a much higher end (pricier) steakhouse! We will be back! The amount of food served was large. Our tips were cooked to perfection! read more

Yuck, we did not enjoy the food. Our potato looked like it was over cooked and the salad bar was a complete mess. My husbands steak was dry. It's good for the wallet but not good for the stomach. read more

Salad bar is mediocre at best and made to order steaks are anything but what you order. Paid a decent amount for a filet dinner and the steak was far over cooked, by the time our waitress got to our table to fix the mess up, the rest of our table of 11 was finished with their meals. Even after my steak was brought back to me, it was still not as expected. The waitress was fantastic but good was less than expected. read more

the wings are so good!! the girls were all super sweet, our waitress, allison, was so awesome. she checked on us and was very professional. the only complaint i have is that the wings were a tad too wet. but even then they were so good. way better deal than going to bdubs. will definitely return! read more

my wife and son and i went to this stake house, sat nov, 26 2011 we did not have a good visit. First we had to wait in line for 13 min but there were on 3 people in ahead of us. we went to set down and they got our drinks wrong the salad was dry the stake was tough and the when they brought our food we told them we wanted stake sauce and kecthup we had to wait on it. the lady that took our order was on the phone personal and store phone. read more

Food and salad bar good but for some reason now they keep serving old, hard, cold, baked potatoes that have been sitting around for a LONG time. They used to have the best baked potatoes in town, have been very disappointed every time we go in the evening we are served these nasty potatoes,last visit everyone around us were complaining about them. We don't mind paying that much for good food but we can go to Texas Roadhouse for the same price and have a freshly baked potato with better cuts of steak! read more
