Headquarters

Didn't the headquarters for Sizzler move to Brisbane, Australia in 2005?

According to their official contact page and an article in Chain Leader their headquarters is in Culver City, CA. Their Australian Web page directs visitors to a PO box for customer inquires. Westing 07:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
That would just be the Sizzler USA head office as noted on their FAQ page. Worldwide head office is in Brisbane, according to table cards in restaurants. Sizzler are owned by Collins Foods Group, which also owns all KFC stores in Queensland Australia. Since US companies tend to buy Australian companies, maybe Sizzler USA aren't as proud to have gone the other way. Lazybeam 05:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Punk Boi 8 redoing page

I am rewriting this article -- Punk Boi 8 05:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

"All-you-can-eat"

They didn't originate that term, but before the "Buffet Court" (as they called their massive buffet in the 1980s) they had "all-you-can-eat shrimp" and a reputation that was parodied with "all-you-can-eat ribs" in Ghostbusters 2. I wonder if that can be integrated. --Bobak 02:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


Barbeque vs Barbecue

FYI, the Sizzler didn't use either one of these spellings. All posters and advertising flats always said "All You Can Eat BBQ Beef Ribs". Mrhyak 15:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


Fresh Prince pop culture reference is wrong

what really happened was hilary had left baby nicky with will and when uncle phil found out and got angry, hilary said, "it's not like i left him at sizzler, dad!" implying that uncle phil once left HILARY at sizzler when she was little.. this goes with the theme that uncle phil always wanted to get rid of hilary.. uhh.. ok, i edited that line. it's fine now.

self serving

some restaurants in Australia were closed because rat poison was found in some food in the section where the public could serve themselves and because of food poising by people touching the food with there hands or putting back food that had been dropped on the floor. i think instead of letting the public serving themselves they have to go through a line with a tray and ask the person working there behind the counter what they want and still have everything you can get when you serve yourself or atleast 3-4 people monitoring the self serving food section

. Whoever the above poster is, they have obviously not been to a Sizzler recently. The rat poison case was traced to a homeless person in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane who had psychiatric problems. Sizzler is now back to the normal self-serve operation. And please sign your posts as well as checking grammar and spelling (there should be their, etc). --MichaelGG 08:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

US lottery game to offer "Sizzler" option

The organization that runs the US lottery game Powerball also created a similar, but smaller game, called "Hot Lotto". The latter is planning to offer a second way to play (similar to Powerball's PowerPlay, to be called "Sizzler"; it should be available beginning on January 3, 2008. Three of the states that have Sizzler restaurants (Idaho, Montana, and New Mexico) participate in the Hot Lotto game, which began in 2002. 216.179.123.52 14:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Restaurant closings

I used to live in Westchester County, NY, and would like to know when the Yonkers and White Plains locations were closed. 216.179.123.111 (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The Diamond Bar, CA location was closed too.
