Get ready for a blast from the past! Sizzler, the beloved buffet, is making a comeback in Australia, and we're here to share the secrets of its most iconic dish.
It's been a long time since Aussies enjoyed a Sizzler feast. From the hearty spaghetti bolognese to the iconic soft-serve ice cream bar, Sizzler offered an endless array of delights. In 2020, the last Australian Sizzler closed, marking the end of an era for many food lovers. But, six years later, the good news is here: Sizzler is back, and it's bringing back those nostalgic flavors.
Sizzler's Return: A Journey Through Time
Sizzler first opened its doors in Australia in 1984, quickly becoming a family favorite. Its buffet-style concept allowed families to indulge in a variety of dishes without straining their wallets. However, the pandemic took its toll, and Sizzler closed its doors, leaving many to wonder if it would ever return.
But here's where it gets exciting: in February 2026, Minor Hotel announced its plans to bring Sizzler back to life at the NH Collection Hotel in Sydney Airport. And the best part? They're not stopping there! Sizzler is set to make a grand comeback across the country.
