“🍔 Unforgettable Late-Night Find! 🍔
I came here for a late dinner and was pleasantly surprised to discover their amazing happy hour from 9 PM to midnight with half off appetizers!

🍽️ The Legendary Quesadilla Burger 🍽️
Being super hungry, I went straight for the quesadilla burger and wow - it was INCREDIBLE! Literally so good. The portion size was perfect for my appetite, satisfying without being overwhelming.

👨‍🍳 Exceptional Service 👨‍🍳
The staff were all super nice, helpful, and friendly throughout my visit. They made recommendations and checked in just the right amount to ensure I had everything I needed.

⏰ Perfect Late-Night Option ⏰
The happy hour timing is genius for night owls or travelers like me looking for quality food later in the evening. The discounted appetizers are definitely worth noting for future visits!

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Shelbee, who truly set the tone for a GREAT dining experience. She was INCREDIBLY friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at HOME. Her energy and professionalism were unmatched—she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and even checked in MULTIPLE times to make sure we were HAPPY.

The food was fresh and delicious, and the salad bar was well-stocked and clean. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the overall atmosphere was inviting. But what truly made our visit special was Shelbee’s exceptional service. She’s a gem, and Sizzler is lucky to have her!

If you’re looking for great food and top-tier service, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!“

“It's one of those places you have to see to believe. But that's where the rubber meets the road. The food, while impressive in portions, can be a bit overbearing considering the flavors seem to clash when it comes to the chili fries, which I imagine is a staple item on their menu. Tomato, pickle, and cheese on fries with chili could have easily been a masterpiece if other options such as jalapenos, a nice sauce, or diced onions were available(and if they were, I was not informed).

Now for the sandwiches. They are great except for the barbeque sandwich, which was weird due to the meat choice and the sauce again clashed with the pallate. It would appear the French dip and some simple fries would be a safe bet. And still yummy.“
