3 /5 Charlie Kotcher: My daughter wanted a steak so we ended up here. Hadn’t eaten at Sizzler since I left the Bay Area in the mid 80s. First thing I noticed was the HEALTH CODE VIOLATION! The cashier grabbed the cups and scooped the ice into the cups thus contaminating the ice with her dirty money handling hands!
I ordered the Crispy Bacon Burger well done with no sauce. But to no one’s surprise, the burger arrived with sauce! And it was a spicy sauce too! Yuck. I sent it back and then sat and watched my daughter eat while I waited for my food.
My burger arrived in short order and while checking it for foreign matter, I noticed it had wilted lettuce and a sad slice of tomato. But the bacon, was in fact, crispy! After adding my mayo I took a bite. Damn! What a good tasting burger!! With wilted lettuce and all, it tasted really good and was cooked well done. What a pleasant surprise! The free bread was decent and my daughter thought her steak was excellent. However, she did mention that the mashed potatoes were just mediocre.
Service was decent as the server filled up our water once. I was all set to give them one star but the taste of the burger and my daughter’s steak was excellent so I bumped it up two. I would definitely come back and let them try again to make a delicious meal on the first go around. And hopefully by then the manager will make sure they use the ice scoop that was next to the ice bin.
