My steak was tough, service was s-l-o-w. We never got asked how everything was nor did we get drink refills. Will NOT be back!

Western Sizzlin is a 3-star steakhouse known for its friendly staff and southern hospitality. The service is enthusiastic, prompt, and efficient, with servers always ensuring drink glasses are full. The restaurant offers a variety of mid-grade beef, chicken, pork chops, and kebabs, with rolls and whole sweet potatoes being popular choices. The salad bar is full of options, including soups, chili, and tortilla chips with liquid cheese.
Despite recent changes, customers still enjoy the fresh and consistently good food, especially the chicken tenders and steaks. Many have praised the well-cooked steaks, particularly the sirloin, and the baked potatoes, which are smooth and perfectly seasoned. The yeast rolls remain a favorite, often taken home by guests. The restaurant has a kid-friendly environment and is wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for families and guests with mobility needs.
However, some customers have noted that the food bar is no longer available due to COVID-19, and the salad bar items can sometimes be dried out or taste sour. The pricing has been criticized as overpriced, with a meal for one adult and two children costing around $75 including tip. The ordering process can be confusing and slow, as customers need to follow a maze-like setup to place their orders at the counter and then seat themselves.
While the overall experience has been described as good, with excellent service and yummy steaks, some have expressed disappointment over the lack of a hot buffet bar and the limitations of the salad bar. Despite these issues, Western Sizzlin still offers a decent dining experience with friendly service and good food, but there is room for improvement in the salad bar quality and the ordering process.
