Where to start? First, the food wasn't bad and the ONE main waitress we had was pretty good, thank goodness. I visited the restaurant with family I haven't seen for quite awhile. Upon arrival the lady at the counter was rushing us to choose what we wanted. The restaurant wasn't busy. We couldn't talk because of vaccum running by our... More

We used to go to Western Sizzling frequently, then the food began to look old and reheated. Not very appealing. Friends told us they had been making changes so we went New Years Day. Still seen dishes that looked old and it was only 1 p.m in afternoon. Plus had insects on peaches. I kindly pointed out to staff. They... More

This restaurant had fresh meats. Liked the open fire - roasting chickens. Made for a nice atmosphere. The our waiter was friendly and the food came out quick. He offered us refills plenty of times. No problems with service at all (and there were a few children in the restaurant and someone's 60th birthday lunch going on). I got the... More

We attended a Navy Dinner at the Western Sizzlin' in LaVale on Saturday, October 20,2012. We were situated in the back room of the resturant near the Hot'n'Cold buffet bar. There were about 40+ people in attendance, everyone enjoyed 'hot' food at their convenience, the atmosphere was good and the staff was more than accomodating. The Western Sizzlin' was chosen... More

This used to be one of our family's favorite places to go, but after today we will not go back. The food on the buffet was not fresh. As we walked through the restaurant, the staff was not friendly or helpful. The restaurant was filthy.

This used to be a great place to eat, but the prices are up and the quality is down. However, the salad bar is typically fresh with a good variety.

The Western Sizzlin' is a very comfortable restaurant with pleasant surroundings. There is always an extensive salad bar with two choices: cold bar or entire bar which includes meats, desserts, and breads. There are also choices for various steak platters with or without the salad bar. Prices are a good medium range with a very pleasant staff.

The cuisine at Ponderosa, if it is classified as that, isn't worth paying for, but just down the road is this place, which isn't too bad, its your typical alright western place. The price is good, but for the selection of food I would prefer Grand China, but if you want chicken, small shrimp, and the typical country fixings, put... More
