I get a parmesan bread from woolies fridge section that you grill. Brand is Lafamiglia.
sadly its not what it used to be

after not going for a quite some years my mates and i finally all had the same night off work so we figured lets go to sizzler!

food was undercooked, a well done steak was red right through, said this isnt right so they said we will put it back on the grill.. i said you cant just throw it back on the grill id like a new one, so it got thrown back on the grill and returned to me tasting like rubber and still red. after having it returned to the grill a second time and coming back pink i cut my loses and got a refund, so did my mates because their stakes were all under or over cooked, chips were cold and stale etc.

i wont be back there :(

Which store? They all seem to be different. We used to frequent the Riverton one but if I take the Mrs it will be the Kelmscott one, although where I stay is pretty much the same distance from both.

If you are ever in America..go to an American SIZZLER's, makes ours look pathetic !!!

Apologies Mods..Latest deal from Sizzler America..

Like this Renegade Deal. A 1/2 pound, flame-grilled cheeseburger made to order, plus our famous, fresh 50-item Salad Bar, all for just S9.99!

This is a great DEAL and it’s only available at Sizzler. Because we are thinking fresh, everyday.

Our Cheeseburger & Endless Salad Bar is available in select Sizzler locations. Prices and participation may vary.

hi all, newbie here...
bit off topic but...
Does anyone remember "Hartees"...."where the burgers are barbequed, YAHOO !"
Well, as a kid, Hartees was prior to Maccas and the burgers WERE the best... but they were shut down, rumours they used roo meat in their burgers...outrage! roo meat ? how dare they!! roo meat then was for dog food only, how times change.
But those burgers were the best! still remember scabbing 40c off mum for a burger chips and drink every Friday after school, yep... that long ago lol...

dude being a ex chef myself you ask for a well done steak you get one thats ever so slight pink in the middle and firm to the touch none of this slab of concrete spec that people do at home BBQ's used to sheet me having people sware and carry on because of this, sorry customer but just will not murder something that is already dead.

best steak(which mind you you will not find at a sizzler or any resturant for 29.95) is waygu and if your feeling like a spluge goto the casino in burswood(name escapes me atm) and the grade 12 waygu will set you back 100 dorra but i bet you wouldnt of tasted anything that would beat it, must be eaten medium at most(medium rare is the bomb).
