wakester Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 A couple of weeks ago I was returning from San Antonio and saw the big Sizzler cow on wheels in one of the small towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I would really like to see Steak & Shake return to the Houston market. We used to go there when I was a kid and we loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Were the Bonanza steakhouses ever here in Houston? I miss those. Many great childhood memories of that cafeteria-style steakhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Were the Bonanza steakhouses ever here in Houston? I miss those. Many great childhood memories of that cafeteria-style steakhouse.I recall the one near where I was growing up in Rosenberg... first real exposure to steak there actually. Of course it's a chinese buffet or something now, but it still has the distinct barn-style rooftop. There's actually one down the road in Sanford, ME not too far from me now. Still doing bustling business when I've passed it recently. The Ponderosa (essentially the same restaurant, but a different name) closed last year in Augusta, so I have a feeling the Sanford location may not be long for this world.Nice to see the 'berg will be getting a Sizzler too! Perhaps it'll be open when I return for the Christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcklme Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I would really like to see Steak & Shake return to the Houston market. We used to go there when I was a kid and we loved it.We just visited Springfield MO in March for Spring Break, and saw Steak & Shakes on the way. We actually stopped to eat at a SS in Dallas -- it was awful!! My anticipation was quickly squashed, and I then changed my mind about wishing they too were in Houston.

houstonmacbro Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 When I am in Puerto Rico, my partner and I often dine there. They don't have the best food, but their salad and hot bars are pretty extensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkultra25 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ROFL! My wife is from Springfield, and occasionally I'll remind her that it's a good thing she got out as soon as she could and moved to the civilized environs of Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The one in Rosenberg broke ground within the past week, and will be in the small developing strip with frontage along 59, just across from Brazos Town Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Reminds me of an episode of Roseanne where she celebrates her new job:"Okay, everybody, we're goin' to Sizzler, and everyone gets their own plate!"Is Sizzler any better than Golden Corral?

memebag Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Is Sizzler any better than Golden Corral? 'Cause that place is NASTY!The Sizzlers I've been to didn't have great food or anything, but they weren't nightmare inducing torture pits slathered with fecal matter and Crisco. In other words, they were a step above Golden Corral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, they were a step above Golden Corral. That sounds real appetizing. Yuck! I have eaten at the Sizzlers in Puerto Rico and they were okay (not great, but decent salad bars, and hot menu). I have never eaten at Golden Corral --and now, probably never will.

EastEnd Susan Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I liked Sizzler. I never had a bad meal or bad service. Of course this was back in the 70's. We ate at the one in eastend where Lawndale, Griggs and Evergreen met. Later I ate at the one in Pasadena on Spencer by the parkview movie theater. Of course it wasn't like the Steak and Ale of yesteryear but it was still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it wasn't like the Steak and Ale of yesteryear but it was still good. So has anyone verified if Sizzler is really here now, once again (like topic seems to imply)??? Last one I ate at was in West LA years ago, that one was fantastic! Most are right, Golden Corral is a place people go to stuff themselves silly. The staff can't keep up with the feeding frenzy that surrounds them. The salad bar is the only thing I once liked but this place is pure funk. Prices went up too!

pineda Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 So has anyone verified if Sizzler is really here now, once again (like topic seems to imply)???The one at F.M. 2920 & Kuykendahl has been open for business for a few months now. Just noticed last week that there is an IHOP or Denny's going in near the Sizzler also on 2920. Looks like it's almost built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F. Barnes Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Sizzler is like the McDonald's of Steak Houses, comparable to the Golden Corral in a way. Fast Food, don't even consider it a restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, for the FM 2920 location, it was short lived. We ate there a couple of times and the food was good, however passed by a few days ago and it is all boarded up. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
