Never say never.. We know of a few places in LA that haven't changed in years.

I used to take my Aunt to Sizzlers after church on Sunday with my son. He had to be like 5 or 6 years old at that time. Now he’s 30. Man this brings back memories. RIP Auntie 🙏🏿

So good to know they are still in business. Next time I am near one I will happily go again.

Nice to see Sizzler's still exists somewhere. They shut down operations here in Australia during the pandemic.

Omg I miss Sizzler! Me and my family would go there all the time when I was a kid! Me and brother loved the cheese toast and the salad buffet!

My dad would take the family to Sizzler on Sunday at 1pm. We all knew. There were often 20 of us there together. My dad died in 2016. The 9 grandchildren went to Sizzler for dinner to reminisce on the day we buried him. They loved the corn nuggets and their grandfather. Thanks for sharing this on of all days a Hurricane Sunday!❤.

When I was a pre-pubescent teen, my mindset was like "When I'm older I'm gonna buy a fast car and when I start dating beautiful women, I'm gonna to take them to the Sizzler! That'll impress them!". Cheesebread was 💯. If Taco 🛎put as much meat and sour cream as in Lisa's taco, I would go there 7 days a week. "Take entree home and just go to the salad bar." That is the most ingenious badass spectacular thing I've heard all weekend.

Didnt know Sizzler still Exists. Missed the Sizzler across SC campus when they had the $6 Salad bar Buffet back in my College days ✌✌

I use to work at a Sizzler restaurant back in the early 80's when I was in high school along with my 2 older brothers here in California. Also worked in one in Phoenix when I went to trade school. Both of these Sizzler restaurants closed years ago along with many others. Hard to believe that there are still some that are still open.

For sure, S! From what we're reading here in the comments, lots of them have closed.

I'm so jealous. They don't have one where I moved to. Great memories at sizzlers with so many friends through the years.. a great go to place that's nice and casual!

Bill and Lisa, thanks for this video full of nostalgia! During my childhood, there was a Sizzler less than 3 minutes driving distance from our house. It was a special occasion event, and their salad bar/buffet was a true cornucopia of veritable delights. Still remember their fried, battered Corn nuggets 🌽. I was bummed when it closed and turned into a Lonestar Steakhouse.

Saaaame, Lisa…last time I was at a sizzler was before kids !

After seeing this, I want to go to a Sizzler's! Oh wait, we don't have them here anymore. At least I got to enjoy virtually through your video. Tried Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn Steakhouse for the first time last year (don't have that here either!) and they both were a pleasant surprise. Malibu Chicken...forgot about that. Glad to see its alive and well!

Sizzler is nostalgic for me, too. My Dad never liked their steak (God rest his soul ❤). But it was the bomb back then. BTW I pray you and your family stay safe and healthy during this hurricane weather.

I haven’t been to Sizz since high school in the 80s. The steak was the size of a fist! It looks edible now.

My husband and I just went and it was soooo good. I was surprised because it's a hit and miss at Sizzler's. We had steak and shrimp with a baked potato. Yum.

Fun fact: We used to have Sizzler in Australia (e.g. Melbourne, where I'm from). I remember going there as a kid. The salad bar concept was relatively new to Australia at the time. Ordering a main meal was always a treat. It was probably the very first place where I tried calamari. I think it was a restaurant where people went for special occasions. We celebrated some family birthdays there. It's sad that Sizzler didn't stay very long in Australia because me and my family loved it. The restaurant we went to was always packed.

Thanks for a bit of nostalgia. We would look forward to going to Sizzler's at our lunch break. Wow, over 30 years ago...😂

WOW I AM SO SURPRISED THAT SIZZLERS IS STILL AROUND. ALL OF THE FOOD REALLY LOOKS SO DELICIOUS 😋 I WOULD LOVE TO CHECK OUT THIS PLACE. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK 👏🏼 👏🏼😁👍🏼😋😋😋

It does bring back memories of the old Zizzlers on Dillingham in Honolulu. Used to go as a kid.

Love it-Memories of childhood! We went there a lot-I’m in my 50’s and they left my region by the time I was 20ish.

Haven't been to Sizzler since 2008 when my nephew completed boot camp at Camp Pendleton. Looks great. The first time I ever had lobster tail was at a Sizzler on my 2nd trip to California. It was on our way out of LAX. Loved it!! Can't wait to try it again. Looks good. Hope y'all are doing OK with Hurricane Hilary. 🙏Stay safe.

Two of my favorite KZreadrs at my childhood favorite restaurant. What a trip down memory lane - the salad bar hasn’t changed at all! Thanks for doing this. 😊

Went here all the time with my family as a kid. Nothing but nostalgia. Sadly, some locations have closed down already.

I just recently took my parents here after so many years as well! I was surprised how tasty it still was! They really stuck to the motto, "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I think for awhile I got a little spoiled with all the new types of restaurants in the LA area, but coming back to Sizzler was a great feeling of nostalgia and was comforting. I hope they never go out of business.

I love Sizzler! I always go everytime I head back home from California. I just wish they would re-open one here in the 702.

The cheese bread is great!

My family and I miss Sizzler’s in Hawaii. It was our go to place for a family dinner out. I especially loved their salad bar. I remember the crunchy chicken wings because it was very similar to Fremont’s Paradise Buffet chicken wings. Now that Paradise Buffet is no longer here, we haven’t found a place that comes close to their yummy wings. If my memory is correct , the Sizzler’s in Hawaii’s Malibu Chicken was not battered nor fried, but baked. It came with 2 pieces. I loved how the ham and cheese were melted on it and the chicken was very moist! I’m happy to know that Sizzler’s is still around on the mainland and I certainly will look forward to eating there next time I’m in CA. Mahalo for another great family dining video!

It's really funny how much of a nostalgia there is for Sizzlers for a lot of us who grew up in the 80s/90s in southern CA. There's one in Buena Park, CA that's still open but I haven't been to a sizzlers in like 20 years. It was the only restaurant that my family went to because you could get a decent steak and potato and a salad bar without spending a lot of money. My dad always got the salad bar, I would get a sirloin steak and potato and mom got a sirloin steak and the fried shrimp. My dad would always give up his soft serve cup for me and that was my dessert. The cheesy bread was always crunchy and yummy.

There hasn't been a Sizzler here in the Vancouver area for maybe 25 years? I remember the Malibu Chicken as soon as you said it! We used to go back and forth between Sizzler and Bonanza. Memories, oh my gosh.

So jealous that you have these around! Very good food and reasonably priced.

Everything looks great haven't heard of a Sizzler in years Bill's steak and chicken looked amazing but instead of the potato I want Lisa's rice so glad you liked it ❤️

I'll have to look up a Sizzler next time that I'm in SoCal. The last time that I was there, I rediscovered Shakey's. That was a 40 year flashback.

Loved that place when I lived in socal. My grandma's favorite restaurant in the 90s-2000s Went to one in cedar city Utah 3 years ago. Not the same. Steaks were gross and the prices were insane for what you get. Cheesy bread was good at least

The last Sizzlers in Las Vegas closed in the early 2000s. I was road tripping up in Utah and found one at Cedar City and I got I did get the Steak and Endless Shrimp with a salad. I had mines medium and dug into the steak quick before it cooked from the heat. My family would do Sizzlers once a month as a treat back when we lived in Hawaii.

Where I live in the Bay Area, there’s only one Sizzler by me. Growing up, my family (extended family too) and I would frequent Sizzler after Sunday church where my mom would get the fried shrimp and the salad bar. Usually I would just eat off of her plate but I always specifically remembered the shrimp, salad bar and cheese toast. My mother passed away suddenly last year and on her birthday I like to go to sizzler and have her favorite nostalgic meal. It’s just a nice way for me to celebrate her in a lighthearted and different way. Happy travels Auntie Lisa and Uncle Bill!
