I had moved from Germany to Illinois and we got into our house on Christmas Eve - I remember my dad turning on our little black and white TV, loaned to us by a neighbor along with a couch and this was the first commercial I saw in between the Christmas specials - "Dem bones dem bones" always remind me of Christmas 1981 - Great times and thanks for posting!
I've lived in the Chicago-area of Illinois for most of my life... Sadly, in 1990, many Sizzler locations in my neighborhood closed in June 1990...but not even a year later, we found out that many of the suburbs further outside of Chicago city limits, still had Sizzler Restaurants! Sadly...this was short-lived, as the remaining locations closed between mid-1993 and late-1994. 😢 I miss the food, the restaurants and the "Sizzler atmosphere," but what I miss the most, is the time that I spent with my beloved, dearly departed (as of '14) father, who would take me there after my hockey games and martial arts promotions (earning my next Tai Kwon Do belt). I absolutely LOVE the food and menu, but the nostalgia and "father-son bonding" is irreplaceable! Also, when I was 17, I dated a really awesome chick...the only ex-girlfriend that I still communicate with, a beautiful woman with which I dined at one of the very last Sizzlers in Cook County, IL... one of our favorite places to eat (July-August '94) just a month or two before it closed! Today, it is an absolutely delicious Soul Food restaurant called "Prescilla's" ...And delicious as they may be, I'll never forget the "Sizzler that used to be..." 😥
My favorite place when I was a teenager working. I worked at Sizzler Family Steakhouse from 1979 through 1980 then off to the army to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri for basic training.
The one here closed in the 80’s. We’ve made out on Malibu Chicken ever since using Tyson Chicken patties. Tyson patties aren’t as good as they used to be though, but still enjoy our Malibu Chicken.
I remember that last commercial. It introduced a young me to the concept of "all you can eat". Unfortunately there wasn't a Sizzler near where we lived; we had a Golden Corral instead. IIRC they had something similar going on, though, so I gobbed down shrimp like Pac-Man after hearing of this. Simpler times.
Being able to get overweight in 92 dumping platters of heavily breaded popcorn shrimp for 10 bucks in a sketchy joint before america made such distinctions. You had to be there.
The crème de la creme of fine dining for a middle class kid in the 80’s and 90’s

Loved your story man 😢
Am I the only one that noticed the pricing? Lol Wow times have changed! I loved the Sizzler.
That 7.99 is amazing lol
Yea its crazy how prices are way higher now.
Damn, you'll never see these prices again.
Inflation though.
Those NES cartridges were 50 bucks back in the eighties, and that's like over 90$ in today's money
your salary was also low back then LOL

Thank you, Jason. Golden memories...
When my dad got that raise, it was Steak and Ale time!!!😋😋😋
I miss the old days when people actually cared about each other
The first time I went to Sizzler as a kid I asked my mom if we were gonna be on TV. 😅
🤣
🤣😂 the children will never know a real price to go out until they watch commercials from my generation
The Sizzler near me closed 13 years ago. I kinda miss it.
Loved this place: Malibu Chicken especially
Mine too
Haha i remember Malibu chicken.

LOOOOOOOOOVE sizzler, need it brought back in Sonoma County please please
Oh, how I miss when Sizzler was still in the Midwest.

Memories!
To think the Bremerton location is now very run done and has been empty scene Sizzler closed.
Steak AND King Crab for $5.49!!!! Golee!!!
I want to go back.
Dem bones❤❤❤
Awe the old KOMO TV logo.
BASTED WITH A TANGY BARBEQUE SAUCE
I should have eaten before I started watching.😅
They just added steak to everything huh
Some of these commercials seem vaguely erotic.🤷♂️
😦
Hmmm....they never had all you can eat shrimp in Australian sizzlers!
dem bones

So Sizzler used to be called "The" Sizzler?
IS IT STILL?!!
I used to think Sizzler was fine dining. lol.
BIG BEEFY RIBZ, HEAVY WITH MEAT
What does beef ribs taste like?
Like beef ribs...duh!
@@charlietu haha!
Not NEARLY as good as pork, I'll tell you that!
Those beef ribs at the beginning REALLY don't look appetizing
They most definitely was gray.
The print obtained for this video was faded. I'm old enough to have seen the ad on TV, and let me tell you, the ribs looked plenty appetizing.
DEM BEEF BONEZ
OUR LANGOSTINO LIKE TINY LOBSTER
This line playing in my head since childhood is what made me seek out these commercials!
Yeah, it’s similar to a lobster
Themb’ bones…
If you listen carefully the second voice on there is James Earl Jones AKA Darth Vader!
Nope. Percy Rodriguez, voice behind many memorable trailers, in particular Jaws.

DEM PRIME RIB BONEZ
3:08 Hi Paul Rudd
Not even close buddy
DEM BONEZ
I bet the actors at 2:41 totally boned after they finished shooting the commercial. That's what people do. They bone.
The guy in the first steak and all you can eat shrimp commercial looks familiar from something, but I just can’t lace him.
