Soju Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I ate at a Sizzler 2 years ago and seems alive and well by its websitehttp://sizzler.com/ Beef is better there tho, never been to one here so who am I to say The worst steak I ever ate in my life was at a Sizzler in Thailand. And the worst overall restaurant I ever ate at in Thailand, for any price, was Sizzler. I will never return again. Sizzler's in other countries seemed to vary from very decent to just average, but nothing as bad as the one's in Thailand. On average, I've found beef served in restaurants in Thailand to be of very poor quality with Sizzler serving the bottom of the barrel. I don't personally see how they stay in business with the kind of food they serve. Guess my taste buds must be quite different than their typical customer's.

Beef is indeed bad here in Thailand and it is a shame, nothing good local on the hoof, best is Chokchai but still not good enough. That is the reason you cannot find a good hamburger here, plus the fact that everyone thinks a hamburger should be 3-4" thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 have dinner at Sizzler's in Pattaya, try the seafood at the salad bar and enjoy exploring your toilet for a couple of days. Why specify the seafood? This place has dropped in quality by the month for the past two or three years. My daughter used to beg for us to go there - now she's approaching ten years old and learning some discrimination - she walks straight past. Don't like the one in Bang Na Central either. Maybe the franchise holder is trying to pull out too much money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVSGUY Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi!I find the salad bar in Sizzlers to be a pretty good deal. However, the bacon bits seem to have a funny taste/texture to me. I'm just wondering... is it just my imagination? Are they "artificial" or "real" bacon bits? Anyone know the answer to this? Even the steaks at sizzler taste artificial... crappy food - can never understand why these places are always busy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correct Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 i love sizzlers and think the food is great, when i friends or family over to visit from Australia, sizzlers is always one of the first places i take them and they always seem to be impressed with the quality.

praglen Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Did I miss something? How much is an annual membership card and is it still only issued during certain months of the year? Surely the bacon 'bits' are fake, probably soy bits. The bread is what we call "Texas toast" back in Texas. I always get either the mushroom or tuna soup, and one round of the salad bar (usually the corn and peanuts mix, maybe a slice of tang mo) while we wait for the main course. Even though I'm stuffed after that, I get one or two little servings of chocolate pudding. My partner is Thai and gives me the extra toast, but I sometimes don't eat a second piece. Compared to the toast in Texas, it has a bit too much butter and isn't as toasted.The salad bar in Chiang Mai and Hua Hin has a good selection, almost equalling what I'd find back home. My annual membership expires in a few weeks; I hope I can get another. As a member, if you buy one main entree and your guest gets one, the less expensive entree is free. Typically we get out of there paying only 350 baht for two people stuffed to the gills and full of Pepsi refills. If you're alone, the membership card gives you a discount of 10% for cash, 5% for credit card purchase. those annual member cards are for sale for a limited time each year, usually March and April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I can't believe that there are so many people out there with such poor taste for food. Had to laugh at the comment one poster made about Sizzler being a poor mans steakhouse. That is so true. I can't believe in a place like Thailand where there is absolutely so many real Restuarants offering fantastic food that one would opt for this crap. Sizzler, NO THANKS, rather lick the Bangkok pavement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The discount card became much less valuable. Lately we go twice a month. 269 baht for Teriyaki ground beef, melted cheese, mushrooms, gravy, mashed potato, salad bar. I ain't no conna-sewer of fine cuisine.

Sizzler is far from my favorite place, but the salad bar is a great deal and the Terriyaki Cheeseburgers might be the best in the Kingdom. There are tons of terrible Thai restaurants trying to do farang food. They are worse than Sizzler any time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieLim Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Sizzlers is a cheap steakhouse. I prefer to get my piece of real meat somewhere else. Edited July 8, 2009 by AnnieLim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are worse than Sizzler any time! I agree with you. Wouldn't exactly call their teriyaki cheeseburgers the best in the Kingdom, but they're not bad. The Spicy Chicken Breast for 169 baht is excellent, though. Or go on Wednesday after 4 pm, they have some combos for 209 baht. The salads have improved lately. I have the card but it's useless for me since I'm always eating some promotional meal. Wouldn't bother with their steak, and not inclined to order their 299 baht combo platters. But anything from 169-209 is fine with me, or you can have soup/salad only for 149 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Meh, I think Sizzler is good once in a while. Their salad bar is good, and one of the only ones I've seen here with blue cheese dressing, which I absolutely love. Decent piece of chicken, a baked potato, and soup and salad bar for 200 baht is a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintofsilence Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sizzler is excellent value and the food is good . If you have the daily promotion it is less than 200 baht per person I agree with one of the other posters a membership card is not neccessary if you buy the promotion .

tutsiwarrior Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I always thought that goin' out to eat was about enjoying yerself...not about good value. Never could understand the appeal of places like Sizzler, unless ye got 10 mouths t' feed... (tutsi palms a 20 to the maitre'd an' sez 'get us a good table by the window...we'll start with the beluga and a bottle of Krug...')

sbk Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (sbk is going out to dinner with tutsi from now on..... ) Went to the Sizzler in Bangkok once, had a burger so dry it made the Burger King burger seem pretty good. For the price, it was definitely not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Before leaping to assumptions, UG. You might want to remember that I have lived in Thailand for 20 years. I have visited Sizzler more than once. Prior to this, the food was always ok. Pricey for the quality, tho. Having visited that restaurant for a few years, I saw the quality decreasing until I got served what was, essentially, an inedible burger. That was more than enough lesson for me, thanks.

Who, me ? Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, I think that Sizzler is not all bad, not all good. Some branches are OK, some are just to be avoided. Some meals are OK, some are not. It is exactly the same with every food chain. I will not drive 100 kms to have a meal there, but if I am invited, or if my family wants to go there, no objection. Obviously this kind of restaurant can not please the "gastronome", but one looking for average food at affordable price, the deal is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am not a Sizzler fan. The steaks are pretty bad, and the food not that good despite the somewhat high prices. Sizzler in the US is sort of like a pricey Denny's, but at least it is edible and worth the price. I almost never go to Thai restaurants in the US as the food is generally pretty bad. So when I am there, I focus on food which I can't find in Thailand. Same here in Thailand. I don't go get American-style food when the quality is not good. I can get a decent rib at the BBQ Sandwich King, so I do get that, and I also like KFC. I can cook many American-style dishes in my tiny kitchen. But for most food, I focus on what is good here: Thai, of course, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Korean, Mexican (Tacos & Salsa), and even shwarma (not great, but OK here.)

BigSnake Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi!I find the salad bar in Sizzlers to be a pretty good deal. However, the bacon bits seem to have a funny taste/texture to me. I'm just wondering... is it just my imagination? Are they "artificial" or "real" bacon bits? Anyone know the answer to this? Real or Artifical DARN GOT ME, I just fill my soup with the stuff, barely notice the taste, just trying to leave room for the JELLO!! yes it is a decent salad bar, the one in our area all you can eat Bt149.

For the price, it was definitely not worth it. Problem is, there are many Sizzlers in Bangkok! Siam Center, 55 Plaza Thonglor, Major Sukhumvit just to name a few... also, how long ago was it when you last went? Just last year the quality was lousy but it's improved a lot this year. BTW, Pizza Company is owned by Minor Group, just as Sizzler is - but Pizza Co only has single serve salads for a lot cheaper than the all-you-can-eat at Sizzler. Just don't bother with the steaks - I have never considered them as a steakhouse in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
