Great Salad Bar. Been a Sizzler fan since late 70s. Hopefully they will emerge ok.

We always enjoyed sizzler. A real shame that the D’s are getting away with destroying so many small and medium sized businesses ( and jobs!)

Salad bar and buffet restaurants are a tough proposition in the Covid era.

So this restaurant was still around in some places. Haven’t seen one since I was a little kid, so probably 30+ years.

Sizzler is a victim of itself. There are a bunh that have been limping along for years to decades and some are finally dying. Like Toys R Us, Sears and Kmart, Penneys, some of the ever shrinking higher end department stores, Payless Shoes, etc.

They made many many internal mistakes for years and decades and its finally the end for them, some are stil limping on, but getting worse, nothing to do with the democrats.

Covid hasnt helped anyone but its not the why they are failing. They’ve been failing worse and worse for quite some time due totheir own mismanagement decisions.

Democrats help no businesses except those kicking back to them.

My dad used to take me to Sizzler when I got good grades. If I got 2 A’s I could get two orders of Texas Toast.

When they eliminated Hibachi Chicken from their menu was the day they lost our family as customers.

Last time I ate at a Sizzler (many years ago) the “steak” was a piece of shoe leather. Never went back.

We moved to Texas from Orange County CA 11 years ago. 4 years ago I said we had to buy a small condo in Orange because Orange has a Sizzler and Texas doesn’t and I want my Sizzler Salad Bar. So we have a condo in Orange. And I get my Sizzler fix. Ok, and authentic Mexican food too.

This is happening everywhere. Imagine what’s going to happen when they lift their eviction moratorium.

I’ve seldom had issues with tough steaks. But that’s because I usually order them rare.

Wait...what?

Where in CA can you find more ‘authentic’ Mexican food, than in TEXAS??

Where in TX are you? What area, of this great state?

Are the taxes, and HOA dues, on your Orange Country condo killin’ ya?

Yeah, still around and the one in Orange CA is packed at lunch and dinner. Great salad bar and a pretty good little steak for the price.

“Salad bar and buffet restaurants are a tough proposition”

A $hit load of them in So Cal, mostly Asian, Indian. Soup Plantation is already DOA.
