About Sizzler USA


It all began on January 27, 1958. With fifty dollars in the cash register, Del and Helen Johnson opened "Sizzler Family Steak House” in Culver City, California.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his second term as the 34th President of the United States. A 14-year-old Bobby Fischer took the United States Chess Championship. "Gigi” won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The American girl group The Shirelles began.

And finally, everyone could enjoy a great steak dinner at an affordable price. ($0.99 back then).

 
Mid-scale, casual dining restaurant emphasizing value, comfort and convenience. Sizzler introduced the "fast casual" service style more than 60 years ago. Today, guests order upon arriving, with their grilled-to-perfection meals delivered by servers who refill beverages, clear tableware and tend to other needs. Sizzler, which is phasing out its all-you-can-eat buffet, serves lunch and dinner.
