Christmas Dinner.
I'm giving this location 5-stars for being a shining light on Christmas night 2015. Bravo to the employees who sacrificed time with their own families to provide a hot meal to weary travelers who unexpectedly found themselves adrift for a meal. Kudos. Kudos. I hope they got extra pay for working the holiday.
At 8pm the place was packed. So we weren't the only ones seeking a meal on Christmas night.
We traveled 370 miles to Phoenix never thinking about dinner and that so many places would be closed because of the holiday, but we quickly found out different. And Phoenix is a dark town when business lights go out. Even the restaurant at our hotel was closed for Christmas.
We consulted Siri by cellphone to find the location. As we approached the building, lights ablaze, bodies moving around inside. Hope. Stomachs growling. 8pm we parked hoping they were still serving Malibu Chicken and Grilled Salmon and were not about to close for the night. Hallelujah! This location is miles from the freeway and we would never have found it without Siri's help.
The salad bar was clean and appetizing. Food served hot and yummy. Rolls warm and toasty in their basket. And even though the temperature sank to the low 30s after dark a steady flow of diners used the self-serve ice cream machine.
A nourishing hot meal. Christmas music. Attentive service. What more could two grateful diners ask for on Christmas night.
Thank you, thank you, Sizzler staff for being a shining light on a cold winters night.
