If I needed my meat burnt I’d go to Sizzler.
Starting with Sydney airport and a hotel, seems reasonable I guess, especially if they price it right.
In this economy if they get the price right I’m sure they can enjoy success as a family restaurant, cheap flood and lots of it.
Cheese toast coming back?
Sizzler was awesome. Well, when it was all you can eat (they eventually took that away.)
Family favourite
CHEESE TOAST AND POTATO SKINZZZZ RAAHAHAHHHHH 🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🐨🐨🏉🏉
I have been missing the bold flavour of someone else’s children touching and sneezing in my food.
OHHHHH SHITTTTTTT UNLIMITED DESERT
MY BODY IS READY
Meh. Call me when Smorgy’s returns.
Pumpkin sooooup 🤤
I remember when the salad bar buffet was $16. Wonder how much they are going to charge now. I reckon it won’t be less than $30.
There was a reason why it left
Got some great memories growing up with Sizzler, managed to take my own kids a few times before it closed. Looking forward to it returning.
The only person I ever met who ended up charged with incest was mad for Sizzler. He just loved it.
As a 13 yo boy this place was basically heaven. Interesting to see how it goes.
Cheesy toast ❤
Why are people so hyped in this thread? Its probably gonna be run by an investment firm and shit. Don’t get me wrong I used to love Sizzlers but theres no chance they’re reviving that greatness in this neo-capitalist hellscape we call 2026
Smoking or non-smoking?
Potato skins entree!
What will they be doing differently this time to not face closure again?
Good to see the photo at the top of the article is my local Sizzler before it closed. Too bad the building was bulldozed and it’ll never come back 🙁
These things are better as a memory than reality
I saw a Sizzler was about to open in Shinjuku, Tokyo when I was there last year. Most confusing, why did Japan get the hallowed cheese toast while we went without?!
They have Guzman Y Gomez over there too. Madness. I actually met a Mexican couple who enjoyed the food there 😳
For those excited about the cheese toast.
Mix 50% butter with 50% finely grated pecorino cheese.
Spread on one side of thick cut white vienna bread.
Place butter side down in a medium-hot pan and cover with the lid. Melts the cheese and steams the top.
Pro tip: Add a bit of lemon pepper to the butter cheese mix.
# Sizzler toast recipe:
Mix a 1:1 ratio of soft butter to powdered parmesan by volume.
Spread mixture on (preferably thick) sliced white bread.
Fry spread side down at medium heat until golden.
Ooh that cheesy toast!
I listened to a podcast about the strong reasons for its failure at the time. It’s a brave decision to relaunch this business model
we have enough places to eat already
I never got to go to a Sizzler. This is excellent news.
Pass.
Bring back Pizza Hut all you can eat instead and we’ll be good.
When I was like ten I got a full bowl of soft serve ice cream and then put jelly beans in it, then I started eating it and found one jelly bean was partially hard so I spat it out and realised it was one of my (baby) teeth lol.
Good times
As a kid, I loved the buffet salad bar. Then as an adult, it looked more like a public trough.
As long as they have prawn toast, I’ll be there.
If this is true and actually sees the light of day then i’m super excited, always going to remember going to a Sizzlers during one christmas day after opening gifts under the tree and getting the Eyetoy for PS2 and some of the games that came with it then heading off to Sizzlers with family to stuff ourselves with food.
Bring back The Black Stump!
