I went to the Toowoomba Pizza Hut dine in restaurant last week. I decided to attend a public memorial service for someone I used to know who moved up there before his life was taken in a head-on.
I stopped in on my way home. The price wasn't too bad either ($15.95 including drinks?), but not as cheap as it was in the '90s. I didn't eat as much as I could've as I was in a hurry, but I would certainly love it if there was still one in my local area. |

I dont know about you guys, but Sizzler in the 90's was the place to go to. Please don't mistaken the Sizzler of today to be anything like the days of old.
We used to have a La Porchetta here too that disappeared. All you can eat Pizza Hut. I miss those days.

Sizzler used to be awesome. Now it's really not. I just wonder if that's because I have grown up and know what real food is like now?

Pizza Hut still has an all you can eat at Marion. As far as I'm aware its the last of its kind in SA? La Porchetta wasn't too bad. I remember going to the one on Anzac Hwy a few times... I think it was where the Junction now is at Morphettville from memory.

about 12 months ago i had to pick my mum up from Champbell town station after she had been on a cluntry link train, as my kids hadnt seen their grandmother since she left over a month earlier I thought I'll take mum out for dinner and the kids can catch up, and then it hit me theres one of the few remaining Sizzlers in sydney right near there so we went much to the warnings of my wife that it wouldnt be like I remembered it from my childhood OMG it was industrial, the clincher was when the kids and I went up to get desert and an unsupervised girl was eating smarties, marshmellow chunks & lime jelly with her hands straight out of the big trays with her hands to this day my kids still ask to go back they loved it

And yes it is not the same as a I remember when it was still open in VIC. We've given it the nickname Spewers because the last time we went (in Ipswich mind you) a father made his kid eat all the food stuffed on its plate to the point the kid spewed everywhere.

I wish they still made 60s cars - parts would be a lot easier to obtain!

I have a 69 Mini K. It's pretty close to as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.
