The Sizzler in South Tacoma/Lakewood has closed. It looks like (according to the article) the Longview Sizzler is now the only one left in Washington:

I honestly don't know how much longer the Longview location is going to last.
Interesting. This is the same group who owned the one in Sparks that closed. The article says Reno, but there has been no Sizzler in Reno for decades (Sizzling Platter converted it into Ruby River, then later sold that brand off; that restaurant is still in business in Reno). They were trying to sell Sparks for $100,000 but nobody took it. Lease assumption and I assume would have to buy a franchise from Sizzler or pay some kind of a transfer fee. The signs were removed from the building within the past few weeks there in Sparks.
"In 2018, when Starr and his partner purchased the Lakewood Sizzler, they bought two others: one in Tukwila and one in Reno. Today, all three locations are closed, he said."
I am somewhat of a shock at the pricing posted for the Lakewood location in a December 2022 Google Photo. I know Sparks was also very very high priced toward the end.
Mega Bacon Burger 16.99
Classic Burger 15.99
2pc Malibu Chicken 17.99
Fish and Chips 16.99
I went over to the online site for the Sizzler in Sacramento on Madison that is corporate operated and see the following pricing:
Mega Bacon Burger 12.49
Classic Burger 10.69
2pc Malibu Chicken 15.99
Fish and Chips 11.99
Can't help but wonder if this franchisee killed itself with outrageous pricing.
