I work with special needs individuals the staff was rude and not understanding and we heard them constantly laughing at the group i was with .
Went to check out the cashier did not ask how my meal was. I asked her do they not give refill on drinks there was a couple behind said they didn’t get any refills on there drink she seemed like she didn’t care.
We were greeted by the cashier with an angry attitude. Their computers system was down and the workers were all really frustrated and their attitudes showed it. Not the customers fault but we were subjected to condescending eye rolls and sarcasm when asked to do individual tickets. Service was very slow and with the exception of Amy, the wait staff was rude and dismissive.

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.
