Sizzler Reopens in Lake Forest, CA Saturday, Sept. 17; $3 million renovation creates 100 jobs



TEMECULA, CA.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The first-of-its-kind Sizzler in Orange County will welcome guests Saturday, Sept. 17 after being closed for seven-and-a-half months.

 The $3 million next generation Sizzler at El Toro Road and Raymond Way in Lake Forest was gutted to its studs and expanded to 7,200 square feet to better serve its customers.

“We call this the New Vision or New Generation Sizzler,” said Gary Myers, president of Temecula-based BMW Management, which owns the restaurant. “It is dramatically improved from its predecessor in every way. It represents Sizzler’s future.”

BMW is Sizzler’s largest franchisee with 24 locations across California.

Outside the restaurant, Americana images proudly remind guests of their heritage, while chefs behind the mesquite barbeque grill cook up fresh tri tip all day long. Inside, staff place guests’ orders incorporating a new interactive, yet personal, approach.

The menu includes such specialty items as sweet potato fries, fresh barbeque tri tip platter, tri tip sandwich, French dip, Philly cheese sandwich, fish and chips and fresh fish.

The new Endless Salad Bar is anchored by a demonstration area, where made-from-scratch salads are prepared.

Light and dark contrasting woods collaborate with earthy tones to create a fresh and energetic dining environment. A semi-circular booth, first introduced in Murrieta and Oceanside Sizzlers, will be popular with large families and groups.

During a July job fair, 2,000 people applied for 100 jobs in the Lake Forest Sizzler. The staff has been trained at the New Vision Sizzler in Murrieta, Calif. A rededication ceremony will be held later this month.

The Lake Forest Sizzler will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. However, the restaurant will remain open later, when necessary. The location is celebrating its reopening with a Steak Fest special, a six-ounce Sizzler steak with Salad Bar for $10.99.
