So I drove down to Albuquerque yesterday to run some errands, do some shopping, etc. I had my mouth all set from some Steak-and-all-you-can-eat-Shrimp at Sizzler! But alas, Sizzler has closed!

What happened? Is there another one in town besides the one that was on Menaul?

Don't tell me I'm going to have to drive all the way to Gallup to enjoy some Sizzler!

There is a Sizzler in ABQ on Menaul.

Didn't Chipotle take its place? Or is Sizzler still there?

The point of this thread is that there was, not is.

You're thinking Shoney's, which was down the street a half-mile or so.


Times are a-changin'. Salad bars, Chicken Fried Steak, and Kids Eat Free are out, Fast Casual, Grill up Front, Microwaved Everything is in.

Sizzler has gradually been losing locations, been through bankruptcy, been bought and sold several times, and changed their concept several times. IOW, just another typical chain restaurant.

Except for NY and Florida, the remaining restaurants are in western states. The last one in New Mexico is in Gallup.

Sizzler USA

I saw a sign up that they would remodel and reopen and then... Poof. They are gone. Not a big loss but I wanted to bring the family there to show them how we did chain restaurants in the old fashion days.

I am really not surprised. We moved from the area over 5 years ago and they were struggling then. I used to be a huge Sizzler fan, still love the one in Flagstaff or did the last time we were there, but for the most part I think they have gone downhill over the past 10 years or so, plus the Sizzler types of restaurants have probably seen their day. Like everything else, times change, trends change and we change.
