Quaker Steak & Lube

Closed!!! Went there and it is padlocked with security guards, so sad! where will bike night be held at now?

Overall choosing a restaurant like this (for me) is based on convenience more than anything else. There really is no reason to choose a Quaker Steak over a Red Robin, Texas Roadhouse and so on. Gimmicks and décor don’t come into my radar. Service, price and quality do. With that… you should pretty much know what to expect when you come here.
Service was average, food was average, no more and no less. But I do feel a little like my pocket was picked just a bit after I leave a place like this, any place like this for that matter. Maybe it’s just me I guess.
I’ll agree with others that the place does need a really good cleaning up. Not filthy or anything like «creepy crawly». Just an overall worn down look and feel to the place. There’s just nothing special here.

This was are first time here an I have to say everything was awesome food was amazing my kids loved all the cars over all it was a really good time

Great service but the restaurant is filthy. Dust everywhere, and bathroom was gross. The place needs a serious detailing.

Oh the Kentucky Bourbon Molasses wings are AWESOME! The wife had a Blood Mary… she said it was her best one ever! Only downer here was the service. I saw the other waiters and waitresses flying around serving their tables. Ours was hardly around and had excuse after excuses and the place was not crowded at all. Beside that we had a great time here!

garbage. ive never had such bad service in my entire life. im not sure if my waitress was stoned or a moron, or maybe she was just a stoned moron. she literally fucked up the whole tables order the whole night, not one time did she apologize either. for a minute i thought i was on a hidden camera prank show. not only did she not put our food order in she took my drink to get a refill and i shit you not didnt bring it back at all. literally didnt bring me a drink back, i told her 3 times about my drink and the chick just laughed and said sorry but the idiot still didnt bring it, so i asked for the check and wouldnt you know it it also was fucked up. she tried to charge me for beers no one ordered. and thats just the service lets talk about the food for a wing place their wings suck, you can tell they were boiled to the extreme. fancy greasy sauce wont save garbage cooking ever.

It’s been three years since I’ve last eaten at one of these, and I had high expectations. I am not sure if it were just an off day, trainees in the kitchen, or a stingy cook, but the wings were extremely dry and had little sauce.
The service itself was good, but the wings weren’t best to what I was accustomed to and were far from «Best Wings»

Back in the mid 90’s, my college roommates and I would make the trek from Clarion University to wait more than an hour just to eat their delicious wings. Now they have several locations in Southwest PA. My husband and I dined here about a month ago. Service was very slow despite it being 4 pm on a Friday. Our waitress was less than friendly and the food was mediocre. My wings were so small. There were about 2 bites per wing. My husband’s burger was bland and tasteless. The décor is also dated. I get the whole car shop theme but it looks dirty and trashy. The wait staff are a bunch of 20-​somethings that stand around having loud conversations while ignoring their tables. It is a shame that this place is going down the tubes. Since becoming a chain restaurant, their quality has definitely suffered. They should have stuck with having just the original restaurant in Sharon. Never going here again.

Second attempt at carry out. First attempt half of the order was not bagged. This time using the apology gift card plus 40.00 was the last. Wings were dry. Hardly any sauce. Fish sandwich was fish on a bun. No lettuce. No tartar. Appetizer sampler included pretzels that we could not bite or chew. We are done.

The best time to go to QSL is on All You Can Eat Wing night. You get to taste a variety of wings. You will have to wait because it’s busy but it’s a great way to taste all of their sauces. As part of the All You Can Eat Wing night they also have a buffet with salad, fries, pizza, and other foods. I recommend you skip the pizza. If we go on a regular night I like to get their boneless salad.
Their menu is big. There is a lot to choose from. It’s all pretty good. Great place for families.

It was ok. Not that I would go out of my way for this food. My first visit overall was average.

My family and I come here every once in a while, but it always fails. Today the food was ok, but the service was awful, horrible! ! We waited for ever for our food!
My husband and I didn’t get to order our second round of drinks till we stopped a different server, about 25 mins later. Our server had an attitude problem, she hates her job. She was rude. When our server (Abby) brought out our food, she didnt take our dirty dishes away. We had some wings and no napkins!
What an awful experience.
My family and I wont be coming back ever!

The lunch buffet used to be great but lately it’s gone down hill. The bartenders used to be better as well. Not looks wise just friendly wise…

So this is a review only of the Tuesday buffet wings.
Quaker steak has been a favorite of mine, from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. The flavor variety is impressive and every once in awhile they cycle in some new flavors. Not too bad given they don’t HAVE to do that!
So specifically for this location, I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars because our server brought out the wrong flavor several times. She also brought out the wings literally in like 30 seconds… which lets me know that they weren’t made for our order, they were siting around waiting to be served. I mean, I ate them anyway because hey, basically all the flavors taste good, but I let her know that it is strange to get several orders that aren’t what we requested.
Anyway, the wings here definitely are good. And if you’re in the area it’s not a bad choice. I live in Pittsburgh and am equidistant from the Robinson location which seems to have fresher preparation. I don’t hold location against this place since it serves the folks in the region. But if you’re deciding between the two, go to Robinson area (or consult my list below).

Went here on Thursday to have lunch. The service (Tony) was excellent and the food was very good.

This place is awesome! The food is incredible. If you go to their Happy Hour M-​F 6−8pm, ALL drinks are half off! Their drinks are tasty and their beer tap system is on point. I have never been disappointed here. The only reason I take off a star is due to the service not being so great sometimes, they charge you to split sauces, and they never put sesame seeds on my Asian sesame chicken wings! Other than that this is a great place to stop by and eat it, I would suggest it 100%

Quaker Steak & Lube always fails to impress me with their food. I always want to give the wings a chance, but anytime I get them the meat is extremely dry and the sauce is extra sticky… much more sticky than you think any wing sauce should be. For awhile I was just chalking this up to a wing night thing since they have to get wings out fast at a high volume. But I recently went here when it wasn’t wing night and got wings and they were just as dry and sticky.
Yesterday I went here with the whole family for dinner after a Pirates game and thought I’d try something other than wings. I got the cheesesteak… and it was not good. The meat was extremely dry and it reminded me of having cheesesteaks at my high school cafeteria. I also split some onion rings with the rest of the table… and at least those were very good.
Despite my disappointment in the food, I do have to say the service was really good yesterday. I was with my finace’s family, which included 11 adults and 6 children. The 6 children were a little more hyped up than usual. We had one server and she did a fantastic job taking care of our table. She got all of our orders correct and was continually filling up our drinks. She even brought out some extra coloring placemats, and veggies with ranch dip to keep the kids occupied while we waited for our food.
Unfortunately I’ve given up on getting a delicious meal here. If you really want good wings Buffalo Wild Wings is right up the street.

Quaker Steak and Lube was part of our SWPA, tri-​state area, fatty, foodie, fest.
I brought my dining companion here because Wednesdays are for wings! We went full boar and ordered this bucket of wings with several different flavors. The garlic, and thai teriyaki, were my favorites. It’s nice to see my old favorites on the menu and a few new flavors along side them.
Beers were cold, girls were cute, and we had plenty of wet naps for our grubby little paws. Until next time Quaker Steak and Lube!

OMG! Best wings USA, indeed! With about 26 different flavored wings.
I am almost speechless, this place has the tastiest wings I’ve had in my lifetime. I can honestly say that these guys know wings.
The restaurant and service was great. I had ordered 5 of the following: ranch, smoky gold bbq, asian sesame and the golden garlic wings, and yes they were all delicious and very much gone in like no time at all. Paired with a refreshing local lager (Yuengling) and you can’t go wrong. I’m going to miss this place.

Over due but here it is. This is a really neat place. I love all the old car memorabilia. We came here for a Santa brunch during christmas and I have to say that Santa had been on a diet and his beard could have smacked him in the face if it was pulled but it was a nice experience for Vince.
The wings here are really good. We got the boneless ones and they were hot and fresh. They have something like 20 sauces to choose from so there’s something for everyone. I had a mac and cheese burger which was ok. I just wish the mac was cheesier. The service was also just ok. I normally only get water and it sat empty for half the meal. I don’t drink soda unless its with alcohol.
This is a wing place and they do that we’ll and if I come back ill stick to that.
