The Sizzler chain went Chapter 11 a few years ago. Here on the east
coast, all the Sizzler restaurants were closed when they went bankrupt
and I had assumed they all closed nationwide, but when I went to Provo,
Utah a few months ago to do some consulting, I found a Sizzler. If you
have ever been to Provo before, you know they pretty much roll up the
sidewalk after about 7:00pm on Sundays. I was really hungry that Sunday
night and I didn't know the area well so when I saw that Sizzler, my
curosity and hunger compelled me to eat dinner there.

It wasn't bad. I ordered one of the larger steaks. It came with a
baked potato and that salad bar. The service was fine. The salad bar
was okay. Not great, but more than edible. The steak arrived after
about ten minutes and it was decent and it was cooked slightly pink
the way I ordered it. The baked potato was the standard aluminum foil
wrapped steamed spud, but it too was okay. Not the best meal I had
when I was in Provo that week, by a longshot, but it was reasonably
tasty and the waitstaff had enough sense to leave me alone while I
sat and ate and read a local newspaper.

There were two 'Sizzlers' here in ABQ, but now there is only one. Had no
idea the chain went bankrupt.

Not all of the Sizzlers on the East Coast were closed. There's one about
4 miles away from me on Long Island. I haven't been there for at least
10 years, but they're definitely still open.
