After 35 years of feasting on buffet-style meals, Sizzler is serving its last plate of cheesy toast on November 15, the company making the shock annoucement on Facebook today.
"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that after 35 years it is time to say goodbye. The difficult decision has been made to close all remaining Sizzler Australia restaurants this November," they wrote.
"We are so very grateful to our dedicated staff and we want to thank each and every one of our customers for supporting us and creating and sharing memories at Sizzler over the past 35 years."
Sizzler restaurants have been an Aussie icon for generations, from the ice-cream bar where we indulged in more flavours and toppings than we could handle, to the iconic cheese toast which people have been trying to replicate since the '90s.
Over 21k people (and counting) have taken to the comments section to share their sadness.
"So many lovely family get togethers enjoyed at our Perth Sizzler. Thank you," one woman wrote.
"This is so sad, the end of an era! My daughter will never know they joy of a sizzler birthday again," wrote another.
With over a month until D-Day, there's still a small window for one final hurrah so get in quick before it's gone for good.
"We hope to see you all for one last slice of Cheese Toast," they signed off.
The chain was still operating nine restaurants across Qld, NSW and WA.
End of an era. Sizzler you will be missed!
