CHEESE TOAST *drops mic, walks away*
I grew up in Southern California in the 80's and being a Hispanic kid, that made Sizzler the go to birthday celebration spot. The chain has sunk into a big decline over the years and I've gone to some pretty ganky one in New Mexico and West Phoenix that have since closed. But this one in Mesa, is pretty damn awesome. Friendly wait staff, clean airy layout plus a nice wood floor and not carpeting make it modern and not a weird throwback. Their steaks are flavorful and not chewy even when I get medium or medium well and they have a really nice salad bar selection from potato salads, seafood, cole slaw and pasta, good soups and pasta and mexican hot foods that are great. I really like their cheeseburgers and the steak fries and sauce they come with. If you're in a pinch, check this place out, good cheap food and a nice place to grab lunch and maybe make a meatball taco ;)
Plus CHEESE TOAST!
