re: Is there a Sizzler where you live?

Western Sizzler

If you are looking for a dining experience, I'm pretty sure there is a local restaurant in Meridian on the north side I-20/59 frontage road. It is close to the No-Tell-Motel and some defunct beer joint, about a block or two east of the McDonalds and 50 yards west of the car lot that uses the big Gorilla to advertise their used cars. I think his name is Big Monkey or something like that. I've never been there (Big Monkey's car lot or Sizzler), but there seems to be a crowd there most nights (at the Sizzler, not the car lot - I think they (car lot) are closed at 5:00 pm and I am always still at work then. I'm not upset about that, because even Big Moneys deserve to get off work at a decent hour.

Since some (you know who you are) may be interested, I almost never eat a steak out. My preferred steak place happens to grill their steaks on my patio. My preferred cut is a NY strip med rare to rare. As long as there is pink or red showing and it doesn't moo when the knife goes in, I am content. Haven't had Texas toast in years, but I was a big fan back in my White Loaf Bread days. How anyone would not be a fan of thick skillet buttered toast I can't imagine.

I will say that forty years back, we dined frequently at the Western Sizzler in Greenville, MS and at the one in Cleveland, MS. Back then, that was a big night out for us and the kids. If my memory is correct, I was a ribeye guy back then.
