Sizzler

The company is notable as a longstanding brand in the American casual dining scene, evoking a sense of nostalgia for many customers who frequented its restaurants during its peak popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Its business model, combining grilled entrees with an extensive buffet-style salad bar, was a defining feature for the chain.

Recently, Sizzler has been featured in news headlines indicating a period of revitalization. Multiple reports from late 2025 suggest the chain is plotting a comeback, which includes revamping its existing locations. Its community involvement was also highlighted, with news of the company providing free meals to fire victims and emergency responders in California.
