Sizzler made a welcome return to Australia recently, but some customers were disappointed when the discontinued franchise brought back a fan-favorite dish.
Following the resounding success of their one-night-only pop-up in Brisbane earlier this month, KIIS 97.3’s Robin & Kip have attempted to recreate their iconic cheese toastie.
Hosts Robin Bailey and Kip Wightman teamed up with The Coffee Club to launch a pop-up selling the tasty treat, but TikTok users weren’t impressed with the result.
Social media account Sizzler Australia shared videos on its page last week promoting the return of cheese toasties for a limited time.
But fans flocked to the comments of the post to share their disappointment at the dish, which they said was nothing like the original.
“It doesn’t taste the same. I went for a run this morning and was so disappointed,” one person wrote.
Another said: “Except it looks nothing like Sizzler toast,” while someone else added: “My cheese toastie had no cheese on it.”
“I was really excited and bought some yesterday. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. It was basically buttered toast. It didn’t even taste like cheese. Shame,” said one.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted The Coffee Club for comment.
Beloved all-you-can-eat restaurant Sizzler made its long-awaited return and reopened for one night only recently, four years after its last location closed its doors.

Former staff donned their uniforms and served up iconic dishes from the restaurant’s golden era at a pop-up location in Brisbane earlier this month.
This long-standing cultural icon closed its doors permanently in 2020, after serving cheese toasties, grilled steaks and salads for three decades.
Since then, Sizzler fans have attempted to recreate some of the menu’s most popular dishes or have settled for copies of the cult cheese toastie, which have gone viral on social media.
Fritzenberger, a popular Brisbane restaurant, has also acquired an authentic Sizzler cheese toasting machine and is now serving the iconic product to its customers.
