Your momma so fat she slipped on a piece of cheese toast at the Sizzler, broke her leg, and gravy poured out.Were Sidney Deane and Junior there?
Golden Corral >> Sizzler
One of my 1st jobs. Someone threw a rock at our sign and took out the “g”. They didn’t fix it for 6 months, and all of us called the place black anus forever afterBlack angus. even Fancier than sizzler back in the day.

Hey let’s not go acting like Iowans can’t handle anything spicy actually no wait that checks out.It looks nasty. And leaving off the garlic? Are all their customers from Iowa?It’s more like toasted bread with melted Parmesan, similar to cheesy garlic bread without the garlicI mean, the title is pretty descriptive...Wth is cheese toast?
So, you go in and sit down and they bring you toast with cheese on it?
Sounds great
We called it that without any lighting issues. I had a couple of friends that were hostesses there and we would always make jokes.One of my 1st jobs.

Technically this is the high desert...Fortunately there was a lovely desert shop that served beer to go right across the street.

I very nearly said that but was too mortified by people thinking I didn’t know the difference.Technically this is the high desert...Fortunately there was a lovely desert shop that served beer to go right across the street.
Yep. Though I've still never eaten there nor would that have been in the top 5 places I'd have sent him within like a block of there had I known.Coco’s nearby too
Well...there was a reference without the video much earlier this morning.We Goin Sizzler

Can't believe it took that long to get to this.
Oh come on.I have to be honest. I have no idea what a Sizzler is.
I know Ponderosa- are those still in business?. Never heard of Bonanza. Not sure Sizzler ever made it to Michigan.Oh come on.I have to be honest. I have no idea what a Sizzler is.
low end steakhouse chain.
think in the area of Bonanza or Ponderosa steakhouse chains - maybe a little higher class environment.
Both Ponderosa & Bonanza were owned by the same company, that included Dan Blocker (Hoss) from the tv series. The Bonanza theme song lives on in those penny horse rides that Meijer still has in their box stores. I saw a couple of chunky teenagers actually break one of those mechanical horses.know Ponderosa- are those still in business?. Never heard of Bonanza. Not sure Sizzler ever made it to Michigan.
I would be suspicious of the soda too.Golden Corral is truly nasty. The only thing I was willing to injest there was the soda.Golden Corral >> Sizzler
So uncivilized.I have to be honest. I have no idea what a Sizzler is.
But I yell "Bob's Big Boy!"Does anybody else whisper “Sizzler” every time they say it?
That is what he told you. My money is on him stalking you until you "met".So when I was a kid my dad's favorite restaurant was a place called the Clarkston Cafe. For anyone familiar with South East Michigan it was the name of the place before it became the Union woodshop under a new owner.
We would go there all the time and order just salad or soup and the homemade cheese toast. Funny side note to that story is we did this a lot while I was in highschool and my future husband was a bus boy at the Clarkston Cafe for 3 years while he was in highschool. So even though we didn't know each other I probably seen him years before we actually met.

Surely, you must be joking.Golden Corral is truly nasty. The only thing I was willing to injest there was the soda.Golden Corral >> Sizzler
He’s not joking. And stop calling him Shirley.Surely, you must be joking.Golden Corral is truly nasty. The only thing I was willing to injest there was the soda.Golden Corral >> Sizzler
We have a couple in the SF Bay Area where I live, and clearly there’s one in Flagstaff.I’ll echo the sentiments of all those surprised Sizzler still exists. I hadn’t opened this thread earlier because I thought for sure it must be a random thread title that had nothing to do with Sizzler.
If you think about it, she is able to enjoy lobster more often, because she likes the crappy stuff.because people like my grandma (95) like going there for one particular dish, in my grandma's case she loves their lobster tails. I've taken her to a real seafood restaurant and paid top dollar for fresh out of the tank lobster and she complained about it for weeks.There are still Sizzlers? Why?
Never been to one. How does it compare to the glory days of Ponderosa? Worked there all through high school.

just think of a slightly upgraded interior (think TGIF type tables/booths) instead of the the picnic table and very lighted, open Ponderosa/Bonanza. The basic concepts are the same.
There isn't the "cafeteria tray line" like Ponderosa/Bonanza but you order and pay at a counter from attractive pictures on the wall and get your plates from them. You load up with your salad bar things and they bring you the meat you ordered when it's ready.
the salad bar is quite a bit more elaborate than Ponderosa/Bonanza and their "hook" is the cheese toast, which is pretty damn fine.

I didn't either. Don't think they ever had any in MichiganI have to be honest. I have no idea what a Sizzler is.
Salty popcorn appetizer ftwGround Round
And hella all you can eat popcorn shrimp.When I was a kid Sizzler was an amazing treat. For some reason I loved the salad bar. My salad plate would be two pieces of lettuce, bacon bits, croutons and about 2 cups of 1000 island.
This is not a reflection of you, in part because I don't remember you from when I first started posting here in these forums, but back in 2006, there was a broader base of people posting in the FFA. More working class people. More people period from different backgrounds. For people who are a paycheck and a half away from being homeless, going out maybe once a year to eat in any fashion is something normal. I don't know what happened in all the years I was gone from the forums, but there just appears to be some kind of open contempt or disdain for the regular working class. Not everyone, but the tone and theme are often recurring.
Jeebus.... you are right.... 20+ years. In fact, I have been on these boards officially more than half my life. Dude... you just made me depressed. Thanks a whole lot.This is not a reflection of you, in part because I don't remember you from when I first started posting here in these forums, but back in 2006, there was a broader base of people posting in the FFA.

Well, the posters are aging along with the forum. Many, including myself, have been around 20+ years. For most, that also means a bump in economic status. I loved Sizzler growing up and into my 20's, but I wouldn't eat there now. Why? Because I don't have to.
I always assumed Sizzler was meat Red Lobster. That's not the case?

I don't know, seems like a pretty reasonable comparison to me.

It been years, but I think I remember Red Lobster being maybe a notch above Sizzler when it came to the dining experience. They had menus and everything.
I was in Berlin in 1996 with friends, and we asked a local girl to take us to cool spots in Berlin. First stop, TGIF. We were like, uh, ok tomorrow take us to the second coolest spot. Trying to soak up some local culture.it's weird how that perspective has changed in the last 40 years or so ...I mean when I was 20 - TGIF's was THE place for cool appetizers and a menu you couldn't get elsewhere.

Nest stop, Hard Rock Cafe.
but I guess I remember the halcyon days when the meat was damn good and the food plentiful and tasty. Ponderosa a steak night out - not "special occasion/celebration worthy" but certainly a splurge for the family.
