Sizzler #0480 110 Redlands Blvd, Redlands, CA 92373

I had the need to eat in a place with comfortable chairs that sort of served me. And Sizzler fit the bill today. The first (and only other) time I ate at this Sizzler (or as the Host called it, "Sizzler's") I had a steak or some such thing. Today, I had the Salad Bar (as did almost everyone else). The selection was a little smaller (from my memory) than the Sizzler on Waterman in San Bernardino. However, I was surprised to find mixed greens and spinach among the lettuce choices, and hard Parmesan and blue cheese in the cheese area. There were six dressings and oil and three vinegars, I think I chose malted. The check: $6.99 for the salad bar and $2.19 for the drink (Pepsi, sweet as always), .71 tax for a total of $9.89 before tip. I also had some strawberries, ripe, but not as ripe as I like them, non-canned pineapple, some onion rings, a fried sweet corn concoction that was really good, but not labeled, and various other salad toppings. I think Soup Plantation has spoiled me as far as salad bars go. I capped it off with soft serve; the vanilla chocolate swirl was coming out soupy, so I switched to Chocolate. They had tiny cups, so I used a soup bowl instead. I put chopped peanuts, Oreo-type (but definitely not Oreos), and strawberry topping. It was good.
The cheese bread has declined in taste. It was basically white bread with butter. It wasn't the orange-cheese bread as in past years.
I'd probably return if the muse moved me. Do muses move you to Sizzler?
