MISSION VIEJO, CA – PRNewswire

Sizzler®, the family-casual steakhouse known for its U.S.D.A. Choice steaks and Craft Salad Bar, is celebrating 60 years as America’s go-to restaurant for great food at a great value. From steaks cut fresh in-house every day, to fresh salads and soups all created from scratch in real kitchens, Sizzler has been serving guests all-American cuisine since 1958.

What started as a small, converted office trailer turned family-steakhouse where guests would flock for a 99 cent steak dinner in the Los Angeles suburb of Culver City, has now catapulted into a widely successful family-casual franchise concept, boasting nearly $272 million in sales. Known for serving quality steaks at an affordable price, the tradition that began with the original Sizzler steakhouse still remains as the brand currently has 134 locations in 10 states nationwide. Staying relevant to diners for six decades, the brand continues to evolve and adapt to consumer’s taste profiles, while still staying true to what has helped the Sizzler legacy become one of the most iconic American restaurants in the industry.

“For the past 60 years, Sizzler’s history of great food, served by friendly people at an affordable price hasn’t just been our mantra, but the backbone of the Sizzler brand,” said Kerry Kramp, CEO of Sizzler.

“Throughout the years, we’ve been able to keep a strong momentum with a focus on exceeding guest’s expectations by consistently offering high-quality food that’s freshly prepared daily in-house. At Sizzler, we strive to entice our guests with a variety of customizable food options such as our updated craft salad bar that features a selection of more than 60 premium ingredients. We recognize that consumers have a wealth of options when it comes to dining out, and we are honored that they’ve chosen to dine with Sizzler for the last 60 years.”

To celebrate six decades as America’s family steakhouse, Sizzler restaurants nationwide are offering special, limited time menu items from now through February 4 such as a grilled-to-order tender and juicy half-pound steak served with a loaded baked potato for $11.99, with an option to upgrade to a New York Steak for $5. Guests can also enjoy the Classic Trio, a half-pound steak with jumbo shrimp and Sizzler’s signature Malibu Chicken, for $15.99.

“Serving the best hand-cut steaks at a value price point has allowed us to withstand the test of time and establish ourselves as one of America’s most recognizable restaurants,” Kramp added. “As we look ahead to the next 60 years, we’re excited to continue to serve our loyal guests and introduce a new generation of guests to the Sizzler brand.”

About Jenny Craig
The Jenny Craig program is designed to provide structure and support to help members lose weight and learn how to keep it off. Jenny Craig’s program provides nutritionally-balanced menus, which include around 100 delicious entrees, desserts and snacks developed by dietitians, nutritionists, and professional chefs. One-on-one consultations provide personal support and education on portion control and strategies such as Fresh and Free Additions, which helps with satiety. Jenny Craig consultants work with each member individually to identify their strengths, challenges and personal goals in order to create unique weekly meal and activity plans that fit individual needs. Consultants also help members implement behavioral strategies to support their success. Jenny Craig’s comprehensive approach to weight loss is available to members either in person, in centers or by phone with Jenny Craig Anywhere. The program is backed by hard science as demonstrated by a 2010 independent two-year clinical trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showing that participants on the Jenny Craig program lost three times more weight than dieting on their own. Jenny Craig, based in Carlsbad, CA, is one of the world’s largest weight loss and weight management companies, with approximately 500 company-owned and franchised locations in local neighborhoods in the United States and Canada, with approximately 600 centers worldwide.
