Sizzler

American steakhouse chain

Sizzler is an American steakhouse chain known for its salad bar and affordable family dining, popular from the 1970s through the 1990s.

The name evokes the sound of meat cooking on a hot grill.

We used to go to Sizzler after church on Sundays. (Lowercase sizzler describes something very hot or exciting.)
