Franchise Information

Franchising History
Western Sizzlin has a rich tradition of excellence that it shares with its customers, employees and franchisees. Nick Pascarella, son of an Italian immigrant, and his wife Nora opened the first Western Sizzlin in 1962. One of the many reasons that their steakhouse was successful was high standards for food and service. The steaks were trimmed of excess fat, marinated, seasoned and seared to seal in the flavor just as they are today.

Our concept has expanded through the years, to include Western Sizzlin’s Wood Grill Buffet which is based on the same standards of excellence in quality and service.

Where we are today?
The Wood Grill Buffet currently has franchise opportunities in many sought-after markets. The success of every Wood Grill Buffet restaurant owner is important to all of us. For this reason, business and restaurant training, site selection, design assistance and marketing plans are the first steps we take to help you as a new franchisee.

The Western Sizzlin brand image is well known to consumers and serves as a badge for quality products at a great price. The combination of the Western Sizzlin recognizable brand with our successful buffet concept makes the Wood Grill Buffet an investment that will flourish for years to come.
