A bit beefed...
So Drew and I went out for a relatively (but not really so) late dinner last night. So we leave around 8:30 to go to Sizzler. Mmm....cheap steak...mmmm...cheesy toast...mmmm...all you can eat shrimp! YAY! We drive through beautiful downtown Burbank and get to the Sizzler on Hollywood Way and Chandler. The parking lot is empty...uh-oh...We look inside and there seems to be barely anybody there...
I look at the sign..."Thursdays - 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM"
8:30 PM!?! What crazy restaurant closes at 8:30 PM...in Los Angeles?!? C'mon! 10 PM, I can understand...9:30, all right....but 8:30 PM!?!
What the hell?!? That's the second time I've been burned by an early Sizzer closing. My friend Tom and I went to dinner there a couple of weeks ago for a 10:00 dinner on a weekend and they were closed too.
Damn you, Sizzler...It's no wonder you had to close all your restaurants down in Florida!
Fortunately, Outback Steakhouse was open, so they reaped the benefits of our patronage...Mmm...bloomin onion.... :-)

Went to Outback instead of the Sizzler? To steal a page from Best Week Ever:
UPGRADE!

Gotta say...it might be low brow, but the "Sizzler" had some damned good cheesy bread and all you can eat shrimp night. I'm with Mandel on this one.
I miss them...they closed here in Indy bout six years ago! :(

I agree on the cheesy bread: Sizzler's is da bomb!
I think that their hours are catering to the senior citizen set, given their tendency toward 8:30 closings. 'Tis the breaks. All but one of the Sizzlers in Salt Lake City are down to the 8:30 closing time.
But Outback is a nice upgrade - not quite Ruth's Chris or Morton's, but still quite fine.
