Sizzler — Restaurant in Perris

I only come to Sizzler because my mom loves it for some reason. I find Sizzler to be overpriced for what you get. My typical order when I come here consists of the salad bar (currently 16.99) and my personal favorite, the cheese toast. The cheese toast is phenomenal of course, salad bar is alright but overpriced considering the limited options provided.

When I came today, they offered the following hot food options: 4 soups (clam chowder, menudo, vegetable beef, chicken noodle) chicken nuggets (good, taste like McDonald's nuggets) mini corn dogs potato wedges meatballs in marinara as well as bland, unsalted pasta on the side taco bar consisting of mystery meat (looked like jack in the box taco meat), taco shells, corn chips, corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, watery queso, rice, beans

The cold food options were ingredients for DIY salads such as: greens (romaine, iceberg, spring mix, kale, spinach) assorted veggies (broccoli, beets, bell peppers, onions, corn, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots) toppings for salads (6 different dressings, croutons, raisins, bacon, cheddar cheese, chopped hardboiled eggs, sunflower seeds)

They also had assorted pre-made salads but the ones I tried (ambrosia, seafood salad, greek style pasta salad) were quite bland and some even tasted sour like they were on the verge of being spoiled (ambrosia, chocolate pudding). My favorite cold food item I ate today was the banana pudding! It was so good, the nilla wafers still had crunch and the Bananas weren't slimy at all. They have an icecream machine as well as toppings for icecream, but the icecream is always very watery and not rich and delicious as soft-serve should be. Just get the banana pudding!

As far as service goes, the servers were kind but you could tell they were understaffed. It seemed like there was only 2 servers for the entire restaurant and we often waited great lengths of time with empty cups and empty cheese toast baskets.

In summary, my 3 star review comes down to this: 1 star off because it is overpriced, another star off because of how limited the options are for the...

This was my first time dining at Sizzler, and I had a mixed but overall positive experience. I decided to try the steak and unlimited fried shrimp combo. The steak was definitely the highlight of the meal—it was perfectly cooked to my liking, tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. You could tell they put care into how it was prepared.

Unfortunately, the fried shrimp didn’t quite meet the same standard. It tasted overcooked, and there was a noticeable aftertaste that made me think the oil used might have been a bit old or overused. It wasn’t inedible, but definitely not as enjoyable as I had hoped, especially considering it was part of an “unlimited” offer.

The salad bar was great, though. It had a nice variety of fresh ingredients, and everything looked well-maintained and clean. The desserts were also a pleasant surprise—simple, but satisfying enough to wrap up the meal on a good note.

One thing that stood out was the ordering system. You place your order and pay at the counter first, then go find a table. It’s a bit of a different setup for a restaurant like this—more like what you’d find in a mall food court. It works efficiently.

All things considered, I enjoyed the experience enough to consider coming back. The steak and salad bar are worth it, but I’d probably skip the fried shrimp next time. A solid casual dining spot with a few hits and...

Every time my wife and I walk into Sizzler, we’re greeted by Lydia’s warm smile, and we immediately feel like we’ve stepped into a place where we truly belong. It’s not just about the food—though we all know Sizzler’s menu is fantastic—but it’s Lydia who elevates the entire experience. From the moment we sit down, she makes us feel special, going out of her way to ensure we have everything we need.

What really sets Lydia apart is her natural ability to connect with people. She doesn’t just take orders—she remembers our preferences, shares a laugh with us, and always checks in with such genuine care. Every visit feels personal because Lydia brings her heart into her work. We’ve been to Sizzler many times, but it’s Lydia who makes each visit feel like an experience rather than just a meal.

Thanks to her, Sizzler is not just a restaurant we visit—it’s a place we look forward to returning to. Lydia, your presence and kindness make all the difference. You are the reason we keep coming back, and we are so grateful for you. May your kindness be returned tenfold to you and your...
