It's a ok place to eat. Menu is always changing. Would eat there again while waiting on the movie start

Great wings, expensive but delicious. Arizona ranch, hot, and Louisiana Lickers are my fav. They are pretty meaty as well. The other food is alright, nothing too special. If you are a wing fanatic like me, then this is a must try. They do have a day where is is all you can eat for a price, might be a nice way to try all the flavors and see what your fav will be.

I am a frequent customer here and highly recommend the service, wings and beer. Wings are a staple and always good. I would also recommend the lube burger or any burger for that matter. Football Sunday's are fun and there is always a good crowd.

When I arrived it had just finished raining and the patio bar tender was just starting to put the tables and chairs back put on the patio. There did not seem to be a large amount of people here. The bar tender quickly saw me standing near the bar and came and apologized (yet had done nothing, but i understand that some people would complain for no reason) and cleaned off a chair for me to sit in. When I was ready to order he helped me save a few bucks by informing me of their specials on both beer and food. He was extremely attentive and constantly busy; a great employee. However, not checking in so often that it could annoy you. When my beer was empty, he got me another one. When my food came he checked in a bit later ot make sure it was as expected. When I was done with my food he asked how it was. This is basically a prime example of what I call ideal service. Pretty sure the guys name was Kyle b. hard to read a quick moving name tag. Food was prepared as expected. It was all fresh, hot, and delicious.

I've written a review before on this location, and it was very positive. Frankly, today's isn't. I decided to take tomorrow off, which for me at least, means I enjoy my night BEFORE more than the actual day off. Short story, I got home from work, showered, and decided to go for a couple of beers on the ;patio at this location and bring dinner home. It's HOT, and it was refreshing to be in the open air and enjoyed my beer. When the young lady approached me, or to put it another way, initiated contact with me while I was on the bar stool and she was the bartender, I told her I'll have a "couple of beers and something to go". She brought me my beer and went away. That was it. It was NOT busy, relatively speaking form experience having worked in the restaurant and bar industry in New York years ago. I'm NOT kidding. She ignored me, I finished my beer, fiddled, looked around, fiddled some more, played on my phone, fiddled, played and well, you get it. I gave up on the thought of a second beer and totally gave up on the notion of a bucket of wings when I finally caught her eye only to have her give me the "index finger hold on" while hustling to take care of someone who had just sauntered up to the bar. Never mind me who's been here forty five minutes. Long story short, when she FINALLY looked my way, I said I just want to settle up and get out of here. She nodded and ignored me five more minutes. Finally, having no change, and knowing I owed seven dollars and two cents for the draft beer (YES, REALLY) I turned to the nice Harley guys next to me, explained my plight in a few seconds and the one guy said "yea, the service sucks here" and gave me change so I could pay and leave. I called the manager on the way home, something I very rarely do, and talked to a guy named Mike, who was cool, but what could he do? I don't want anything. No free stuff. I just wanted him to know he and his business missed out on another fifty or so dollars because he has either inattentive people working the bar or inept ones. I left hungry, and frankly pissed off. Mike tried to make it better, to his credit, but I wasn't interested at that point. Bottom line; when you run a business, have people who are capable of providing for the customer, not some eighteen or twenty year old kid trying to keep up. I won't be back.

This is a favorite lunch-buffet stop for me and my brother-in-law. They do a really nice job rotating dishes...and of course there wings are really solid. Always enjoy coming here...rarely have a bad meal.

what happened?? use to be a great place for bike night but the last few times have been terrible and very un organized !!! An hour to wait for a table, stale food pre cooked outside and the parking was terrible no roped off area for over flow like they used to have. won't be there much again for the price there is many better establishments such as winking lizard on the hill ...

Haven't been here in a long time. We both had a burger and fries. Burger was good, fries were excellent. While the service was fine, I couldn't help but notice how unhappy all the staff seemed. I don't usually notice that stuff, but once I did, I watched. Very unhappy staff. Makes you wonder why.

Just average place to eat. The loaded nachos were the best. The chicken wigs were a little soggy. The boneless wings were very salty. Great TV's though.

I had the buffet on the Fourth of July. It was just ok. I don't really know what else to say about it. Burgers were eh. Hotdogs,eh. Wings good but a bit dried out. All in all, I was a little disappointed.

Bike nite..cheap beers and wings! We come here often. Great location down in the Valley! Wings are some of my favorite. Never really have had anything bad here and if I have they fix it pretty quick. Wings can come out a tad underdone sometimes thats why I get extra crispy. The service has gotten a LOT better lately. Dont know if they have a new manager but its way more customer friendly, even on busy days. They started doing happy hour specials at bar only for a bit but have recently gona back to having it at sit down tables too...deals just not as good as they used to be. With so many bars in the area doing wing/beers specials for happy hr why would I pay full price? Servers are pretty good and genuinely seem like they want to make money. Most of the bartenders are total flakes though...still dont know where they find these people...

Enjoyed a nice dinner with my fam I had the taco salad I enjoyed it. Wife had the ribs tender ribs sauce sweet was pretty good she says. Kids had the chicken tenders no complaints from them lol. Server was nice Katie thanks I know it was busy ya did well and deserved a pat on the back. Tried the onion rings the sauce is spicy I think personally it might go better with wings just saying maybe try honey mustard or regular mustard or some type of sour cream i don't know just making suggestions perhaps a nacho cheese or run down a list? Still I had enjoyable time fair food nice. . 99 meal deal for the kids today very cool all In all if I'm back in the Cleveland area I think I'm likely to stop by with the fam again thanks for the timely service they said 10 mins for a table I got it in 3 I think something fast anyway cheers to a nice dinner!

Very cool decor (motorcycles hanging from the ceiling!), food came out quickly and was good (onion rings), wide selection of beer. Waitress was friendly and attentive. All in all recommended. They have lots of specials (half-price appetizers, buffets, etc.) so check out the schedule for deals.

Stopped by after riding the cuyahoga valley national railroad. They weren't to busy, plenty if parking, got seated right away. We ended up getting the buffet.....what a mistake. Hamburgers were disgusting and dried out, hot dogs weren't any better. The salad bar was ok. The wings were all right. If I go again, I will stick to ordering from the menu.

Lynette K.
My husband & I went here after the movies on Labor Day (9/1/14). The hamburgers used to be great but, over the years, have become......just plain awful. The meat was flavorless. Possibly stale. Dry - no juice. Even the bacon had no flavor. The "lemonade" was a cut up lemon thrown into a glass of water. And what idiot thought that removing comfortable seating & replacing it with cheap patio chairs was a good idea? The carpeting has been flooded so many times that it should be removed. I get that this is a theme restaurant but having all that stuff on the walls must make it impossible to clean the food splatters off cause.......no one has. This is another place I will never eat at again.

I haven't been here in a while but stopped in after a movie. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we walked out the door. I was impressed with everything and the food was good. The manager stopped by our table to check on us and all of the employees seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Great mojo!

Bridget M.
Very good choice for a laid back dinner with friends. A little on the pricier side, but the food is extremely good for the price. I got the boneless wing salad, it was huge and very filling. Our server was friendly, we had empty drink cups only once, but another server (maybe a manager) came over and refilled them for us, I thought that was very nice. Only complaint is there isn't much else to do in the area besides the movies, it would be nice if they had more locations by a mall or a shopping center.

Valley View QS&L around 2pm. Wanted to enjoy a cold drink on a hot day. The outside bar/patio was open. Service was pretty slow. No bartender outside so I had to wait for him to "check up" on me for a refill or food. I like the place however. They have live music and bike nights which is fun. Just a bad day I guess.

The lunch buffet is the pits! Wings sit for hours and no love put into making anything. You can order fresh wings but it takes forever to get them. Everything is kinda dumped into a trough for everyone to eat out of. Handed the money & bill over after eating 6 nasty wings and waiting for fresh ones that never came. Ended up at a Italian shop for lunch that day after paying for a buffet I did not get. Never going back.

Usually, I don't review chains. But I had to share my experience of absolutely horrible service here. I've been here before, always at about 3:00 and the service has always been "meh." Drinks unceremoniously plopped on the table, waitresses acting like they really have better things to be doing than taking your order, and taking nearly half an hour between appetizer orders and dinner orders. But the wings are good, and I'm a pretty laid back type of girl, so usually, it doesn't matter. My beau and I stopped here for a quick bite after an early movie at about 2:35. We figured we'd have enough time to eat before I had to scurry off to my mid shift job. We had about an hour and 20 minutes to eat, so we didn't think it would be an issue. Issue number 1: Apparently, there was a bike night thing happening that night, so they roped off the entire parking lot and half the movie theater's lot. A little much, if you ask me. So when we drove up at 2:35, and asked where to park, and the "attendant" said that said we were not allowed to park in their lot and we had to park and walk. This lot was completely empty, ladies and gentleman. Empty. 1 pickup truck was not going to make or break the parking situation at 2:35 on a Wednesday afternoon. But fine. Whatever. Issue number 2: We were seated right away in the bar. We were the only people in this lady's section. It took her almost 15 minutes to notice us. When we told her that we had to leave by 3:00, she kind of huffed and took our drink order.10 minutes later, soda's came, wrong sodas. I don't know how she got sprite out 2 orders for diet coke, but again, whatever, two laid back people, trying to have a good time. Issue number 3: Took our appetizer order 20 minutes after the drink orders came out. We were sitting there with closed menus in front of us and she just scurried off after plopping our drinks down heavily on the table and ran off. 20 minutes after that, pretzels came out. We ordered quesadillas. Again, laid back. I'm calm. Issue number 4: We open our mouths to order our wings and off she goes AGAIN. 10 minutes later, she takes our plate with half a pretzel still on it! I stopped her this time "Can we please order our wings now?" the response I got? "Just a minute" I'm usually not this forward, but I said, "No, now. And make them to go please. We have to leave by 3:00." She huffs, plops the pretzel basket back down, I take the last pretzel half off of it, and we give our orders. She brings our wings, at exactly 3:00. Took her sweet time giving us our check, 10 minutes later. I'm officially going to be late. I take the wings to work. Issue number 5: Open the wings, at my lunch break, wrong wings. Never coming here again unless someone else is paying for it. I will not spend money here again.

Food is good Quaker Steak & Lube food. However tattoo heaven has slow service during lunch buffet I guess waitresses are unnecessary and tips well they are unnecessary too - still think Austintown and Sharon are the best QS&Ls around for the lunch buffet

More tattoos than the holding tank in district 3 police department! Almost as many Harleys as Sturgis! But as good a burger as your gonna get AND a decent beer... There you go! Oh and run into friends you haven't seen for some time is a pleasant bonus!!

Quaker Steak & Lube in Valley View always has some kind of food special, or drink special, or special event going on. Always. And for that reason my wife likes to call and see 'what the happs is' before we head into the Valley. $0.60 wing night... Let's go! It was 6pm on a Wednesday when we arrived - there wasn't a wait so we were seated immediately. My wife looked at the menu calendar and saw that wing night was on Thursdays and not Wednesdays like she was told on the phone earlier. She was rather disappointed about the misinformation she had received and the fact we unknowingly made the trip for a $7.99 chicken salad special instead. Salad? Ew. We both decided to get burgers instead. They were very good and the sauces (two barbecue and a ranch jalapeno) our server (Kyle) brought out made them even better. Kyle was very attentive, friendly, and fast. Mid-meal a manager came over and asked how everything was. Even if her food was awful my wife doesn't normally say anything but tonight she did. She told the manager of the call she made earlier that day and the bad information she received. I was pretty impressed. I provide feedback to business managers all the time - solicited or not. Positive or negative. Like the honey badger I just don't care. My wife isn't like me at all and I was quite surprised when she responded to Quakers manager the way she did. Anyways... The manager apologized in a manner and tone as though she was calming a crying baby. It was over-the-top and a bit funny. As a result it felt very insincere. She offered to give us a coupon we could use on our next visit - but she never brought it to us. She walked by our table a few times after the conversation but never gave us this alleged coupon. We left couponless and I knew then that her apology was likely insincere. Because of all the unique events Quaker Steak in Valley View has (frozen turkey bowling, bike night, breakfast with Santa, Yappy hour, live music, the End-of-the-world party, and many more i can't think of) we will definitely be back. It's a fun time with great food overall.

I really liked the original restaurant in PA and used to drive there occasionally to get wings. Maybe it tasted better because i had to drive all the way there and back, but something about the original was just.. better. I was giddy as a school girl when they opened this place up right down the hill from me. Now i could have a beer or 5 with my wings and not have to worry about driving 2 hours home!!! Sadly that excitement died after realizing that these were in no way even close to the wings that they serve at the original location. They are mass produced wings prepared with bottled sauce at a way over average price. This place is so close now that I have had the opportunity to try a lot of the menu. The burgers are very average and well .. everything is average. Nothing is spectacular. Thats not a bad thing, i mean that is exactly what "A-OK" means. Its.. OK. You are really paying for the scenery and the wow factor of the place. Everything is really overpriced and its definitely NOT even close to as good as the one in Sharon, PA. But who knows, that one could have been engulfed by commercialism too. I haven't been there is years, so i don't know. Sundays are kids eat free and in the summer they have bouncy houses and other stuff for them to play on. They have an all you can eat Wing buffet on Tuesdays (5-11pm). Its not my first choice, but it's Ok.

I stopped in here once after running an errand in Valley View and sat out on the patio for a beer / wings. I was really comfortable, other then the 20 mph wind gusts, just sitting here stuffing my face with spicy garlic wings and Bud Light. The wings were really good, done exactly how I like, not overcooked and dry., but enough sauce to make me sweat The place was packed and after talking to the bartender, its always that way. She wanted me to stick around for 'Bike Night' but that was something that didn't sound like fun at the time. My luck I'd tip one over and get my ass handed to me. Overall its a typical QSL joint. Loved by most and satisfies the wing and beer craving just fine. I prefer Quaker over BW3's any day but maybe not as much as a local dive bar with good wings. There is such a thing as being TOO busy.

Service is good. Onion rings are very good tried a few of their new bergers are above average. The Louisiana BBQ sauce great

Andy B.
I stopped in after work for a couple beers and wings with some good friends. The beer was cold so kudos for that. The bartender was also cool so that helps. Here's the thing, this used to be a wing place and now you can barely find them on the menu. I also got a pretzel that was loaded with some sort of liquid grease coating. I'll be back again but I never expect anything exciting here.

For good wings, come here for the lunch buffets and the tuesday dinner buffet they have! Or just order some wings! The usual buffalo style wings are good (they do the sauce type here) but its really the louisiana lickers that keep me coming back! This is definitely a college crowd type of place, don't even bother coming for the tuesday dinner buffet during breaks cause the wait can easily go up to 2 hrs. The place is decked out like its name suggested, they have gas pumps in the front and then there are race cars and anything associated with the road everywhere. It's a fun place to go for wings. Service has always been quick and attentive. Drinks come with a twisty colored straw, and twizzlers come at the end of every meal. The menu is chock full of deep fried appetizers, and a multitude of other "healthy" options, and about 25 different types of wings. My fave is the LA licker, tangy, spicy, and sweet all at the same time. Tried the atomic once...was not worth it...its so spicy it just tastes nasty. Other flavors are good, some better than others, but prolly more to personal taste than anything. The tuesday dinner buffet used to be order at the table. Which meant the wings were fresh and hot when it got to your table. To be more cost effective, its now buffet style, so sometimes wings are colder but they give you salad and dessert and some appetizer items too now. Lunch buffet is better in that they serve different things on different days, and if the flavor wing you want isn't out, you can order it with your server. I really haven't been able to find a place that does better wings than here. One place that does really good regular buffalo wings, but no variation. I just have to keep coming back here.

I really want to dislike this place since their food all seems to be different sculptures based around solidified grease, but I'll be dipped if I don't find myself back here all the time. They actually have a huge menu for a bar, OK beer prices and a great, friendly staff. Of course I got the fried platter with onion rings, cheese sticks and fried pickles; I guess I'll have to make peace and call this a great guilty pleasure.

Love this place. When I was here before we always came here for Friday night happy hour... I flew back into town Friday night and met up with 6 of my friends here for dinner around 7... it was too hot to eat outside, but there was a happy group of people enjoying the outside area and bar.... Our group of 6 turned to 8,then ended up of a party of 10... they were very accommodating and have plenty of room to seat us... separate checks and all... I ordered some appetizers... fried pickels... YUMMY... and others got the pretzels..always a favorite. I ordered my ususal the wings and magna fries...wings parmesean peppercorn and fries loaded with cheese and bacon... yum yum. My little nephew had mac and cheese (double it up please) and since a 5 year old scarfed it down, i would tend to think it was good. I have tried all ranges of the several wings sauses that they had... and i pretty much liked all of them... i couldn't hang with the Atomic wings... but I am sure some of you can. In the summer i know that they have Bike night..in the past it was on Wednesday nights, not sure of the date now... This place can get quite busy but is a fun atmosphere that is great for family eats or friend treats!! We dont have one of these in California by me so I crave it and get my fix whenever I come to Ohio... PS ,.. personally i didn't like the buffets, but i like my wings well done and just made...so it may be ok with you,... especially if you want to try some different flavors

I love football...but since I try to keep it healthy, it's not usually a good idea to go out to a sports bar to enjoy the game with friends. Just not usually much on the menu other than a straight salad to eat. Definitely nothing healthy and fun. Until I stopped by Quaker Steak & Lube that is! They actually have grilled boneless chicken wings! Basically, they are grilled chicken tenders (you can get them crispy too) dipped in your choice of wing sauce. They are served on toasted pita wedges, which make perfect little sandwiches if you cut a chicken tender in half. And it's served with steamed broccoli! I can't tell you how I appreciate having a healthy option to go out and enjoy with friends. Now don't worry....they have plenty of cheese fries, burgers, steak and wings too! And from what my friends have said, those are yummy options as well. I'm just really happy to have some options! Thanks!!!!

When I get in the mood for something, I eat it once, and I'm usually satisfied. Twice if it's good. For the last few weeks, I've really been wanting a good, tasty wing. Something crisp with a good sauce and bite to it. Since it's on the way home from my office, the future wife said "Let's go to Quaker Steak. They're supposed to have great wings." Two stars later, color me disappointed in my first attempt to satisfy my craving. Take heed, those who operate chain restaurants, and for that matter, any restaurants: Yes, bacon is good. Cheese is good as well. Can we please have an option where if someone just wants some fries, they can just have the fries? I want to dip a fry in ketchup, maybe some ranch. If I want Bacon Cheddar Double Death Fries, I'll ask for Bacon Cheddar Double Death Fries, okay? If I say "I'd like a side of fries," don't turn into an internet meme, froth at the mouth and tell me the virtues of your Double Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Taco Pita Double Tripled Death Fries. On to the wings. Holy moly, these were not great wings. My favorite wing isn't the one that looks like a drumstick, but rather the one that looks like your forearm, with the two bones. Mmmm, that's the greatest part of the wing. Most of mine were broken, and one even had the bone sticking out. Just the thing I want to bite into and subsequently choke on, which I thankfully did not. The sauces were just mediocre. Golden garlic was neither spicy nor garlic, neither Duran nor Duran. Discuss. Also: Unless you're a dive bar trying to attract people into your fledgling establishment, you don't need a 32oz. beer. It's irresponsible to your beer suppliers who designed beers to be drank within a temperature window, as well as the poor saps who see a small aquarium's worth of beer and figure it's a good deal. All in all, I'm sure Quaker Steak is a fine establishment. Maybe I went on a bad, bad day for cook and staff alike. I doubt I'll give them a chance to make up for it, however.

Food is very good. Bike Night is a must at this place. What fun. I have done the lunch buffet on a few occasions and I really enjoy the wings. Nice sports bar but yet a good family place you can take the kids too. Also its cool to walk in and see TV's in the floor. That is a cool feature.

Ate here a couple weeks ago for lunch. Tried the lunch buffet - for $8.99 you get salad, make-your-own meatball subs, pasta, fries, boneless wings and chicken wings. Also had a soup, IIRC. The food was pretty good, and I heard you can request wings in your choice of sauce if it is not available, although I did not ask.
(4)
Katie S.
I live about 5 minutes from here. My husband and I go here often for lunch. The lunch buffet is nice. They have different food, sometimes it's Italian day, or Mexican day, or ballpark day, but it's a mix of veggies, pastas, meats, and then of course the staple, wings. They used to offer a few flavors of wings, and upon request one could get whatever other flavor brought to their table in an order of 5. Now, it makes a bit more sense for speedy service. They have a tray of boneless, a tray of breaded, and a tray of unbreaded plain wings, with the full offering of sauces at the end of the table and small plastic cups. This allows one to try out many different sauces, and make their wings as saucy or as dry as they like. There is also 2 soups, usually chili and potato soup, though I've seen wedding soup and chicken soup there also. The deserts are so-so, but I'm usually so full of wings by the end of it that I don't care. The service has always been great. The food is good, not gourmet, but definitely good. They also have an all-you-can-eat wing night on Tuesdays for $11.99. For a girl who can put away 2 dozen+ wings no problem, this is perfect! Again, the food offerings are similar to the lunch buffet. Honestly, I haven't ordered off the menu in years. I'm not crazy about large crowds and lots of noise so I don't usually go later in the day, hence my expertise in the lunch buffet. But if you like cars or motorcycles, sports, beer, and wings, you can't go wrong. With a variety of race cars and motorcycles suspended from the ceiling, and sports and local memorabilia on the walls, you make no mistake that you are in a sports bar. Wednesday nights during the summer are bike nights, and there's always a ton of bikes, sometimes overflowing into the Cinemark lot.

Initial delivery of wings were dry and crunchy. They replaced the wings, but offered no discount for having to wait. Linda disappointing.

Best wings I've ever had, bar none. There are all types of wings here--spicy, mild, wet, dry, and everything in between. This is the place that convinced me of the greatness of chicken wings. While I believe there are plenty of great reasons to become a vegetarian, this place (and Hoggy's, located right down the street) are two places that will ensure that I remain an omnivore as long as they are open. All-you-can-eat wing nights on which the wait staff don't mind if you sit and graze like a cow, making sure that you get a few wings of each of their many flavors. Plenty of TV's all over the restaurant so you can cheer on your favorite teams while munching on great food. Need I say more? If I must...if you don't like wings, this is still a great place to go--their other food--such as their ribs--are quite good, and the antenna of onion rings is another must-order.
(5)
Pietro A.
The place itself is awesome with a great motorsports & vintage Americana feel to it. But we had issues with the food: I got the ribs and boneless wings and my buddy had the crispy chicken wings. Neither of us liked their food one bit and as a matter of fact we are both wide awake at 5am drinking Alka Seltzer and feeling sick. Not good, especially when you consider that we've been on the road for one week already and still have one more to go...

Ferrett S.
Do you know what it's like to lose all of your front teeth due to a terrible childhood dentist who told you that, and I quote, "Sometimes gums just bleed?" Well, it sucks. But the relevant suckage here is this: I cannot eat chicken wings. So while people here rhapsodize about the wings, all I can tell you is that if you remove the wings, you get a third-rate chain restaurant that serves bone-dry baked potatoes, sandwiches that have been seemingly shipped here straight from the Quaker Steak Sandwich-making factory somewhere in Boise, and processed stuff of all sorts. Is it terrible? No. The best thing about Quaker Steak and Lube is that it's within walking distance of the gigantic digital-screen movieplex, and it's slightly not as terrible than the godawful Hoggie's, which is like eating dried awful. Which means that when you're looking for a place to go after the movie and laugh and discuss how good (or bad) the movie was, this place has beer, and tables, and food that's not going to challenge anyone's palate in ANY way. That's not made of evil. That does not make it good. But it is not likely to slaughter the innocents. But hey! Maybe those wings make it five stars.

The Lubeburger here was fantastic....I was visiting family and the Cleveland Clinic for interviews. My uncle took me here and it has a great ambience (I loved the 50's style car and bikes that pervaded the place and the gas/jukebox). The service was friendly and the food came quickly. The Lubeburger was great and probably one of the best burgers that I had in a long time....it was a large meat patty, bleu cheese and a great collection of spices on it...

They have have live music every Friday during the summer, I believe. This is a fun place to come to before or after a movie (there's a nearby movie theatre) to relax outside and enjoy drinks and music with good friends. Gotta love their wings, too.

The wings are great (not the best I've ever had but up there) and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. The theme of the place is cars (if you couldnt tell) so the atmosphere is really cool. All you can eat wing night on Tues. are the best. I have spent 3 hrs there sometimes on wing nights. The rest of the menu is ok. I usually just stick to the wings, but the soft pretzels are unique, taste good, and compliment the wings well. If you are in the area it is one place you should check out, if you enjoy wings and sports bars.

Quaker has two indoor bars, an outdoor bar/patio, and a huge dining room. The wings have many unique flavors such as Dusted Wasabi Ginger. My boyfriend's ultimate favorite is Mustang Chicken, a grilled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon. They also have neon bendy straws in the drinks!

I love the wings here. The usually get a hot or mild wing. Besides the zing, they actually have a taste to them, which I cant say for other wing places. They are probably my favorite hot wing sauce around. The BBQ wings are the greatest taste experience ever. I cannot even describe. They are heavenly. Shout out to: Arizona Ranch, Teriyaki, and Louisiana Licker sauces. Get the loaded Magna fries. Melted cheese, with bacon, and a side of ranch. Most of the servers are straight forward. In and out with orders and such. No personalities there anymore, which would have added a star. I miss that aspect of the visit. The best QS&L of the bunch though.

Great place to go after or before movie. Fiance ordered wings and loved flavor said could be crispier and also had the onion rings I ordered Asian chicken bowl with rice and broccoli so much food will not have to cook at all tomkrrow. Tuesday nites they have a buffet for $13.99 which includes a beverage salad and wings and fries and Mac n cheese and all their sauces out to use food looked fresh a lot of people doing the all u can eat at 10p and the staff made sure to keep bringing out the food. Waitress was attentive and brought iced tea refills without being asked.

Was here a few weeks ago with my sister, I try out this place once an a while. My sister is a big fan, she loves the kind of food here, I tried the all you can eat wings. It was different from 5 years ago, now you can go up to a section of the hot food and salad/dessert area- help yourself, it used to be just wings. They also have shrimp now and the service is really lovely. Love the after meal Twizzlers and crazy straws! Fun place to dine out in.

I MISS my Fort Wayne hot wings and QS&L's Louisiana Lickers hot sauce is as close as I've come to those juicy nuggets of goodness. Though some seating is rather chilly when the cold air rushes in with the door open, there are cozy seats to be found in the winter and there is also a lunch buffet for those that enjoy buffets. The first recent visit here we had over the top service and last time a quieter, yet still (if not more) efficient server. The fried pickles are full spears, the pretzels are delish, and the boneless wings aren't overly breaded. They're starting to become a favorite!

I do like the food here. Some servers are very nice, some are clueless. The lunch buffet is strange. You have to order your wings anyhow they aren't on the buffet. Kinda makes that pointless. Strange procedure for gift cards at Christmas time. If you are seating and eating, they won't just put the cards on your bill. They make you get in line like the people who walk in just to buy cards that are not even dining in. That is kinda rude. I am your dining guest, I should be getting service . Aside from oddities like that the food is good. I do like the warm wet wipes!!

Quaker Steak is a fun place to go for lunch or dinner, especially if you feel like going to a movie afterwards. When you first walk in, there are all kinds of vehicle-inspired decorations to look at while waiting for a table. On the day we went, a Tuesday, there was a large buffet set up that included wings, pasta, fries, pizza, and all kinds of other delicious-smelling dishes. We opted to order from the menu, but if there was more time to just enjoy the buffet, I totally would have gone for that option! My macaroni and cheeseburger was delicious and I had the homemade kettle chips on the side... perfectly salted and crunchy (who likes soggy chips??). The service was fast and super friendly, and I will definitely be coming back for the wings and more chips :)

Today, the I took the fam to see a 3D movie and then we headed across the parking lot to Quaker Steak & Lube. We were in the mood for wings and this is the right place to go for wings. I ordered the Buckeye Barbecue, my wife ordered Louisiana Lickers, and my daughter ordered the kids BBQ. All three flavors were really good. I loved my Buckeye BBQ wings even if they were a tad spicy for my taste. My wife's Louisiana Lickers had a delicious, intricate flavor and were about 1/4 as hot as the 5000 Scoville Unit Buckeye BBQ wings. Boy were they good! The decor of this place is outstanding, with full sized race cars and motor cycles hanging on the walls and ceiling!

Every once in a while we like to get some wings. Usually they are of the Fahrenheit variety (is there a James Beard award for wings? OK, probably not, but if there were Rocco wins it hands down) but, alas, Tremont wasn't in our plans. We saw Skyfall at Cinemark in Valey View and decided to stop at Quaker Steak and Lube which is a 30 second drive from the theater. Sat in the bar and watched as two brave souls ordered the Triple Atomic Wings (better known as the "I want my mommy" flavor) and while each finished their six, one guy drank two large glasses of milk after and the other (permanently, I think) affixed his lips to a the side of a full glass of beer. I have zero idea how anyone eats those. I couldn't do it on a bet. We decided to keep it considerably more easy-going and ordered the bbq and the dusted chipotle bbq flavors plus a side of onion rings. Yeah, healthy as hell, I know, but sometimes you just have to, period. And, tonight we had to and were glad we did. We both enjoyed the wings a great deal and the rings as well truly hit the spot. We're not big franchise food lovers but I must say the few times we've been to this QS&L we've been pleasantly surprised. Whenever we need a wing fix we head here and will continue to do so. Many props to Luke M for his review as it got me thinking about coming here.

Staff was nice and friendly, indoor decor made a fun experience. If you are looking for a social occasion with a fun atmosphere, this could be a good place. However, it was very crowded, with people bumping the back of your seats walking by the whole time. My husband and I are not picky eaters, that's why we were VERY disappointed in the food. My husband had been there 2 years ago and said the quality has really gone down. Basically, it was overpriced bar food. It made Applebee's seem like fine dining (we do like Applebee's!) He got the Tuesday special buffet, which consisted if a salad made up of hamburger toppings, dried out and over cooked wings, and a slice of "pizza" which was a soggy crust with cheese. I got the "Lube Burger" which was recommended as one if the restaurant favorites. It sounded good on the menu, but ended up just being a Big Mac with a packet of bleu cheese dressing on the side. The meat seemed very processed, and "spammy" is the only way I can describe it. It was like compacted rubbery meat on a bun. They charged extra to have onion rings instead of fries, but only gave me 4 small onion rings. My favorite part was the Twizzlers they give us when we paid. Our bill was outrageous for two crummy dinners and fountain drinks. An expensive mistake on our part.. We won't be back. If you want a good burger for a third of the price, go to Brown Bag Burgers. At least their hamburgers taste like meat.

The lunch buffet used to be pretty good. The last few times I've been here, including today, all the buffet food is barely room temperature and everything appears to be frozen food, nothing fresh. I told the server that nothing was very warm, but I never saw anyone check the buffet. Not worth the $10 any more.

Great for a casual lunch, there is a lunch buffet with basic bar food and you can also order wings at no extra cost with the buffet...all you can eat, including ordered wings. There is also dessert on the buffet. Service was excellent, food was good...no complaints, this is a restaurant we have come to at least five times and always have a good experience.

It's a ok place to eat. Menu is always changing. Would eat there again while waiting on the movie start

Great wings, expensive but delicious. Arizona ranch, hot, and Louisiana Lickers are my fav. They are pretty meaty as well. The other food is alright, nothing too special. If you are a wing fanatic like me, then this is a must try. They do have a day where is is all you can eat for a price, might be a nice way to try all the flavors and see what your fav will be.
(4)Joe H.
I am a frequent customer here and highly recommend the service, wings and beer. Wings are a staple and always good. I would also recommend the lube burger or any burger for that matter. Football Sunday's are fun and there is always a good crowd.

When I arrived it had just finished raining and the patio bar tender was just starting to put the tables and chairs back put on the patio. There did not seem to be a large amount of people here. The bar tender quickly saw me standing near the bar and came and apologized (yet had done nothing, but i understand that some people would complain for no reason) and cleaned off a chair for me to sit in. When I was ready to order he helped me save a few bucks by informing me of their specials on both beer and food. He was extremely attentive and constantly busy; a great employee. However, not checking in so often that it could annoy you. When my beer was empty, he got me another one. When my food came he checked in a bit later ot make sure it was as expected. When I was done with my food he asked how it was. This is basically a prime example of what I call ideal service. Pretty sure the guys name was Kyle b. hard to read a quick moving name tag. Food was prepared as expected. It was all fresh, hot, and delicious.

I've written a review before on this location, and it was very positive. Frankly, today's isn't. I decided to take tomorrow off, which for me at least, means I enjoy my night BEFORE more than the actual day off. Short story, I got home from work, showered, and decided to go for a couple of beers on the ;patio at this location and bring dinner home. It's HOT, and it was refreshing to be in the open air and enjoyed my beer. When the young lady approached me, or to put it another way, initiated contact with me while I was on the bar stool and she was the bartender, I told her I'll have a "couple of beers and something to go". She brought me my beer and went away. That was it. It was NOT busy, relatively speaking form experience having worked in the restaurant and bar industry in New York years ago. I'm NOT kidding. She ignored me, I finished my beer, fiddled, looked around, fiddled some more, played on my phone, fiddled, played and well, you get it. I gave up on the thought of a second beer and totally gave up on the notion of a bucket of wings when I finally caught her eye only to have her give me the "index finger hold on" while hustling to take care of someone who had just sauntered up to the bar. Never mind me who's been here forty five minutes. Long story short, when she FINALLY looked my way, I said I just want to settle up and get out of here. She nodded and ignored me five more minutes. Finally, having no change, and knowing I owed seven dollars and two cents for the draft beer (YES, REALLY) I turned to the nice Harley guys next to me, explained my plight in a few seconds and the one guy said "yea, the service sucks here" and gave me change so I could pay and leave. I called the manager on the way home, something I very rarely do, and talked to a guy named Mike, who was cool, but what could he do? I don't want anything. No free stuff. I just wanted him to know he and his business missed out on another fifty or so dollars because he has either inattentive people working the bar or inept ones. I left hungry, and frankly pissed off. Mike tried to make it better, to his credit, but I wasn't interested at that point. Bottom line; when you run a business, have people who are capable of providing for the customer, not some eighteen or twenty year old kid trying to keep up. I won't be back.

This is a favorite lunch-buffet stop for me and my brother-in-law. They do a really nice job rotating dishes...and of course there wings are really solid. Always enjoy coming here...rarely have a bad meal.
(4)Kevin G.
what happened?? use to be a great place for bike night but the last few times have been terrible and very un organized !!! An hour to wait for a table, stale food pre cooked outside and the parking was terrible no roped off area for over flow like they used to have. won't be there much again for the price there is many better establishments such as winking lizard on the hill ...
(2)Spunk K.
Haven't been here in a long time. We both had a burger and fries. Burger was good, fries were excellent. While the service was fine, I couldn't help but notice how unhappy all the staff seemed. I don't usually notice that stuff, but once I did, I watched. Very unhappy staff. Makes you wonder why.
(3)Amy H.
Just average place to eat. The loaded nachos were the best. The chicken wigs were a little soggy. The boneless wings were very salty. Great TV's though.
(3)Peg B.
I had the buffet on the Fourth of July. It was just ok. I don't really know what else to say about it. Burgers were eh. Hotdogs,eh. Wings good but a bit dried out. All in all, I was a little disappointed.
(3)Chas M.
Bike nite..cheap beers and wings! We come here often. Great location down in the Valley! Wings are some of my favorite. Never really have had anything bad here and if I have they fix it pretty quick. Wings can come out a tad underdone sometimes thats why I get extra crispy. The service has gotten a LOT better lately. Dont know if they have a new manager but its way more customer friendly, even on busy days. They started doing happy hour specials at bar only for a bit but have recently gona back to having it at sit down tables too...deals just not as good as they used to be. With so many bars in the area doing wing/beers specials for happy hr why would I pay full price? Servers are pretty good and genuinely seem like they want to make money. Most of the bartenders are total flakes though...still dont know where they find these people...
(4)John H.
Enjoyed a nice dinner with my fam I had the taco salad I enjoyed it. Wife had the ribs tender ribs sauce sweet was pretty good she says. Kids had the chicken tenders no complaints from them lol. Server was nice Katie thanks I know it was busy ya did well and deserved a pat on the back. Tried the onion rings the sauce is spicy I think personally it might go better with wings just saying maybe try honey mustard or regular mustard or some type of sour cream i don't know just making suggestions perhaps a nacho cheese or run down a list? Still I had enjoyable time fair food nice. . 99 meal deal for the kids today very cool all In all if I'm back in the Cleveland area I think I'm likely to stop by with the fam again thanks for the timely service they said 10 mins for a table I got it in 3 I think something fast anyway cheers to a nice dinner!
(5)Parker K.
Very cool decor (motorcycles hanging from the ceiling!), food came out quickly and was good (onion rings), wide selection of beer. Waitress was friendly and attentive. All in all recommended. They have lots of specials (half-price appetizers, buffets, etc.) so check out the schedule for deals.
(5)Al B.
Stopped by after riding the cuyahoga valley national railroad. They weren't to busy, plenty if parking, got seated right away. We ended up getting the buffet.....what a mistake. Hamburgers were disgusting and dried out, hot dogs weren't any better. The salad bar was ok. The wings were all right. If I go again, I will stick to ordering from the menu.
(3)Lynette K.
My husband & I went here after the movies on Labor Day (9/1/14). The hamburgers used to be great but, over the years, have become......just plain awful. The meat was flavorless. Possibly stale. Dry - no juice. Even the bacon had no flavor. The "lemonade" was a cut up lemon thrown into a glass of water. And what idiot thought that removing comfortable seating & replacing it with cheap patio chairs was a good idea? The carpeting has been flooded so many times that it should be removed. I get that this is a theme restaurant but having all that stuff on the walls must make it impossible to clean the food splatters off cause.......no one has. This is another place I will never eat at again.
(2)Amy S.
I haven't been here in a while but stopped in after a movie. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we walked out the door. I was impressed with everything and the food was good. The manager stopped by our table to check on us and all of the employees seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Great mojo!
(5)Bridget M.
Very good choice for a laid back dinner with friends. A little on the pricier side, but the food is extremely good for the price. I got the boneless wing salad, it was huge and very filling. Our server was friendly, we had empty drink cups only once, but another server (maybe a manager) came over and refilled them for us, I thought that was very nice. Only complaint is there isn't much else to do in the area besides the movies, it would be nice if they had more locations by a mall or a shopping center.
(5)Mark W.
Valley View QS&L around 2pm. Wanted to enjoy a cold drink on a hot day. The outside bar/patio was open. Service was pretty slow. No bartender outside so I had to wait for him to "check up" on me for a refill or food. I like the place however. They have live music and bike nights which is fun. Just a bad day I guess.
(3)Ilona D.
Tuttles here tonight!!!!
(4)Toe K.
The lunch buffet is the pits! Wings sit for hours and no love put into making anything. You can order fresh wings but it takes forever to get them. Everything is kinda dumped into a trough for everyone to eat out of. Handed the money & bill over after eating 6 nasty wings and waiting for fresh ones that never came. Ended up at a Italian shop for lunch that day after paying for a buffet I did not get. Never going back.

Usually, I don't review chains. But I had to share my experience of absolutely horrible service here. I've been here before, always at about 3:00 and the service has always been "meh." Drinks unceremoniously plopped on the table, waitresses acting like they really have better things to be doing than taking your order, and taking nearly half an hour between appetizer orders and dinner orders. But the wings are good, and I'm a pretty laid back type of girl, so usually, it doesn't matter. My beau and I stopped here for a quick bite after an early movie at about 2:35. We figured we'd have enough time to eat before I had to scurry off to my mid shift job. We had about an hour and 20 minutes to eat, so we didn't think it would be an issue. Issue number 1: Apparently, there was a bike night thing happening that night, so they roped off the entire parking lot and half the movie theater's lot. A little much, if you ask me. So when we drove up at 2:35, and asked where to park, and the "attendant" said that said we were not allowed to park in their lot and we had to park and walk. This lot was completely empty, ladies and gentleman. Empty. 1 pickup truck was not going to make or break the parking situation at 2:35 on a Wednesday afternoon. But fine. Whatever. Issue number 2: We were seated right away in the bar. We were the only people in this lady's section. It took her almost 15 minutes to notice us. When we told her that we had to leave by 3:00, she kind of huffed and took our drink order.10 minutes later, soda's came, wrong sodas. I don't know how she got sprite out 2 orders for diet coke, but again, whatever, two laid back people, trying to have a good time. Issue number 3: Took our appetizer order 20 minutes after the drink orders came out. We were sitting there with closed menus in front of us and she just scurried off after plopping our drinks down heavily on the table and ran off. 20 minutes after that, pretzels came out. We ordered quesadillas. Again, laid back. I'm calm. Issue number 4: We open our mouths to order our wings and off she goes AGAIN. 10 minutes later, she takes our plate with half a pretzel still on it! I stopped her this time "Can we please order our wings now?" the response I got? "Just a minute" I'm usually not this forward, but I said, "No, now. And make them to go please. We have to leave by 3:00." She huffs, plops the pretzel basket back down, I take the last pretzel half off of it, and we give our orders. She brings our wings, at exactly 3:00. Took her sweet time giving us our check, 10 minutes later. I'm officially going to be late. I take the wings to work. Issue number 5: Open the wings, at my lunch break, wrong wings. Never coming here again unless someone else is paying for it. I will not spend money here again.

Food is good Quaker Steak & Lube food. However tattoo heaven has slow service during lunch buffet I guess waitresses are unnecessary and tips well they are unnecessary too - still think Austintown and Sharon are the best QS&Ls around for the lunch buffet
(3)David B.
More tattoos than the holding tank in district 3 police department! Almost as many Harleys as Sturgis! But as good a burger as your gonna get AND a decent beer... There you go! Oh and run into friends you haven't seen for some time is a pleasant bonus!!

Quaker Steak & Lube in Valley View always has some kind of food special, or drink special, or special event going on. Always. And for that reason my wife likes to call and see 'what the happs is' before we head into the Valley. $0.60 wing night... Let's go! It was 6pm on a Wednesday when we arrived - there wasn't a wait so we were seated immediately. My wife looked at the menu calendar and saw that wing night was on Thursdays and not Wednesdays like she was told on the phone earlier. She was rather disappointed about the misinformation she had received and the fact we unknowingly made the trip for a $7.99 chicken salad special instead. Salad? Ew. We both decided to get burgers instead. They were very good and the sauces (two barbecue and a ranch jalapeno) our server (Kyle) brought out made them even better. Kyle was very attentive, friendly, and fast. Mid-meal a manager came over and asked how everything was. Even if her food was awful my wife doesn't normally say anything but tonight she did. She told the manager of the call she made earlier that day and the bad information she received. I was pretty impressed. I provide feedback to business managers all the time - solicited or not. Positive or negative. Like the honey badger I just don't care. My wife isn't like me at all and I was quite surprised when she responded to Quakers manager the way she did. Anyways... The manager apologized in a manner and tone as though she was calming a crying baby. It was over-the-top and a bit funny. As a result it felt very insincere. She offered to give us a coupon we could use on our next visit - but she never brought it to us. She walked by our table a few times after the conversation but never gave us this alleged coupon. We left couponless and I knew then that her apology was likely insincere. Because of all the unique events Quaker Steak in Valley View has (frozen turkey bowling, bike night, breakfast with Santa, Yappy hour, live music, the End-of-the-world party, and many more i can't think of) we will definitely be back. It's a fun time with great food overall.

I really liked the original restaurant in PA and used to drive there occasionally to get wings. Maybe it tasted better because i had to drive all the way there and back, but something about the original was just.. better. I was giddy as a school girl when they opened this place up right down the hill from me. Now i could have a beer or 5 with my wings and not have to worry about driving 2 hours home!!! Sadly that excitement died after realizing that these were in no way even close to the wings that they serve at the original location. They are mass produced wings prepared with bottled sauce at a way over average price. This place is so close now that I have had the opportunity to try a lot of the menu. The burgers are very average and well .. everything is average. Nothing is spectacular. Thats not a bad thing, i mean that is exactly what "A-OK" means. Its.. OK. You are really paying for the scenery and the wow factor of the place. Everything is really overpriced and its definitely NOT even close to as good as the one in Sharon, PA. But who knows, that one could have been engulfed by commercialism too. I haven't been there is years, so i don't know. Sundays are kids eat free and in the summer they have bouncy houses and other stuff for them to play on. They have an all you can eat Wing buffet on Tuesdays (5-11pm). Its not my first choice, but it's Ok.
(3)Andrew K.
Been here 4 times now. Every time has been good. Pork shank is excellent. Open-faced pulled pork is good, but a bit salty. Tacos are exceptional.
(5)Jeff T.
I stopped in here once after running an errand in Valley View and sat out on the patio for a beer / wings. I was really comfortable, other then the 20 mph wind gusts, just sitting here stuffing my face with spicy garlic wings and Bud Light. The wings were really good, done exactly how I like, not overcooked and dry., but enough sauce to make me sweat The place was packed and after talking to the bartender, its always that way. She wanted me to stick around for 'Bike Night' but that was something that didn't sound like fun at the time. My luck I'd tip one over and get my ass handed to me. Overall its a typical QSL joint. Loved by most and satisfies the wing and beer craving just fine. I prefer Quaker over BW3's any day but maybe not as much as a local dive bar with good wings. There is such a thing as being TOO busy.
(3)Steven M.
Service is good. Onion rings are very good tried a few of their new bergers are above average. The Louisiana BBQ sauce great
(4)Andy B.
I stopped in after work for a couple beers and wings with some good friends. The beer was cold so kudos for that. The bartender was also cool so that helps. Here's the thing, this used to be a wing place and now you can barely find them on the menu. I also got a pretzel that was loaded with some sort of liquid grease coating. I'll be back again but I never expect anything exciting here.
(3)Christine Y.
For good wings, come here for the lunch buffets and the tuesday dinner buffet they have! Or just order some wings! The usual buffalo style wings are good (they do the sauce type here) but its really the louisiana lickers that keep me coming back! This is definitely a college crowd type of place, don't even bother coming for the tuesday dinner buffet during breaks cause the wait can easily go up to 2 hrs. The place is decked out like its name suggested, they have gas pumps in the front and then there are race cars and anything associated with the road everywhere. It's a fun place to go for wings. Service has always been quick and attentive. Drinks come with a twisty colored straw, and twizzlers come at the end of every meal. The menu is chock full of deep fried appetizers, and a multitude of other "healthy" options, and about 25 different types of wings. My fave is the LA licker, tangy, spicy, and sweet all at the same time. Tried the atomic once...was not worth it...its so spicy it just tastes nasty. Other flavors are good, some better than others, but prolly more to personal taste than anything. The tuesday dinner buffet used to be order at the table. Which meant the wings were fresh and hot when it got to your table. To be more cost effective, its now buffet style, so sometimes wings are colder but they give you salad and dessert and some appetizer items too now. Lunch buffet is better in that they serve different things on different days, and if the flavor wing you want isn't out, you can order it with your server. I really haven't been able to find a place that does better wings than here. One place that does really good regular buffalo wings, but no variation. I just have to keep coming back here.
(4)Evil S.
I really want to dislike this place since their food all seems to be different sculptures based around solidified grease, but I'll be dipped if I don't find myself back here all the time. They actually have a huge menu for a bar, OK beer prices and a great, friendly staff. Of course I got the fried platter with onion rings, cheese sticks and fried pickles; I guess I'll have to make peace and call this a great guilty pleasure.
(4)Samantha S.
Love this place. When I was here before we always came here for Friday night happy hour... I flew back into town Friday night and met up with 6 of my friends here for dinner around 7... it was too hot to eat outside, but there was a happy group of people enjoying the outside area and bar.... Our group of 6 turned to 8,then ended up of a party of 10... they were very accommodating and have plenty of room to seat us... separate checks and all... I ordered some appetizers... fried pickels... YUMMY... and others got the pretzels..always a favorite. I ordered my ususal the wings and magna fries...wings parmesean peppercorn and fries loaded with cheese and bacon... yum yum. My little nephew had mac and cheese (double it up please) and since a 5 year old scarfed it down, i would tend to think it was good. I have tried all ranges of the several wings sauses that they had... and i pretty much liked all of them... i couldn't hang with the Atomic wings... but I am sure some of you can. In the summer i know that they have Bike night..in the past it was on Wednesday nights, not sure of the date now... This place can get quite busy but is a fun atmosphere that is great for family eats or friend treats!! We dont have one of these in California by me so I crave it and get my fix whenever I come to Ohio... PS ,.. personally i didn't like the buffets, but i like my wings well done and just made...so it may be ok with you,... especially if you want to try some different flavors

I love football...but since I try to keep it healthy, it's not usually a good idea to go out to a sports bar to enjoy the game with friends. Just not usually much on the menu other than a straight salad to eat. Definitely nothing healthy and fun. Until I stopped by Quaker Steak & Lube that is! They actually have grilled boneless chicken wings! Basically, they are grilled chicken tenders (you can get them crispy too) dipped in your choice of wing sauce. They are served on toasted pita wedges, which make perfect little sandwiches if you cut a chicken tender in half. And it's served with steamed broccoli! I can't tell you how I appreciate having a healthy option to go out and enjoy with friends. Now don't worry....they have plenty of cheese fries, burgers, steak and wings too! And from what my friends have said, those are yummy options as well. I'm just really happy to have some options! Thanks!!!!

Good service, ok food, pricey for what it is. $53.00 for 2 sandwiches and 2 beers. Wish there was 1/2 stars would have said 2 1/2.

When I get in the mood for something, I eat it once, and I'm usually satisfied. Twice if it's good. For the last few weeks, I've really been wanting a good, tasty wing. Something crisp with a good sauce and bite to it. Since it's on the way home from my office, the future wife said "Let's go to Quaker Steak. They're supposed to have great wings." Two stars later, color me disappointed in my first attempt to satisfy my craving. Take heed, those who operate chain restaurants, and for that matter, any restaurants: Yes, bacon is good. Cheese is good as well. Can we please have an option where if someone just wants some fries, they can just have the fries? I want to dip a fry in ketchup, maybe some ranch. If I want Bacon Cheddar Double Death Fries, I'll ask for Bacon Cheddar Double Death Fries, okay? If I say "I'd like a side of fries," don't turn into an internet meme, froth at the mouth and tell me the virtues of your Double Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Taco Pita Double Tripled Death Fries. On to the wings. Holy moly, these were not great wings. My favorite wing isn't the one that looks like a drumstick, but rather the one that looks like your forearm, with the two bones. Mmmm, that's the greatest part of the wing. Most of mine were broken, and one even had the bone sticking out. Just the thing I want to bite into and subsequently choke on, which I thankfully did not. The sauces were just mediocre. Golden garlic was neither spicy nor garlic, neither Duran nor Duran. Discuss. Also: Unless you're a dive bar trying to attract people into your fledgling establishment, you don't need a 32oz. beer. It's irresponsible to your beer suppliers who designed beers to be drank within a temperature window, as well as the poor saps who see a small aquarium's worth of beer and figure it's a good deal. All in all, I'm sure Quaker Steak is a fine establishment. Maybe I went on a bad, bad day for cook and staff alike. I doubt I'll give them a chance to make up for it, however.

Food is very good. Bike Night is a must at this place. What fun. I have done the lunch buffet on a few occasions and I really enjoy the wings. Nice sports bar but yet a good family place you can take the kids too. Also its cool to walk in and see TV's in the floor. That is a cool feature.
(4)Mark B.
I love QSL, the food the atmosphere and the service are always great. Add to that a great kids menu and it's home run for the family.

Ate here a couple weeks ago for lunch. Tried the lunch buffet - for $8.99 you get salad, make-your-own meatball subs, pasta, fries, boneless wings and chicken wings. Also had a soup, IIRC. The food was pretty good, and I heard you can request wings in your choice of sauce if it is not available, although I did not ask.
(4)Katie S.
I live about 5 minutes from here. My husband and I go here often for lunch. The lunch buffet is nice. They have different food, sometimes it's Italian day, or Mexican day, or ballpark day, but it's a mix of veggies, pastas, meats, and then of course the staple, wings. They used to offer a few flavors of wings, and upon request one could get whatever other flavor brought to their table in an order of 5. Now, it makes a bit more sense for speedy service. They have a tray of boneless, a tray of breaded, and a tray of unbreaded plain wings, with the full offering of sauces at the end of the table and small plastic cups. This allows one to try out many different sauces, and make their wings as saucy or as dry as they like. There is also 2 soups, usually chili and potato soup, though I've seen wedding soup and chicken soup there also. The deserts are so-so, but I'm usually so full of wings by the end of it that I don't care. The service has always been great. The food is good, not gourmet, but definitely good. They also have an all-you-can-eat wing night on Tuesdays for $11.99. For a girl who can put away 2 dozen+ wings no problem, this is perfect! Again, the food offerings are similar to the lunch buffet. Honestly, I haven't ordered off the menu in years. I'm not crazy about large crowds and lots of noise so I don't usually go later in the day, hence my expertise in the lunch buffet. But if you like cars or motorcycles, sports, beer, and wings, you can't go wrong. With a variety of race cars and motorcycles suspended from the ceiling, and sports and local memorabilia on the walls, you make no mistake that you are in a sports bar. Wednesday nights during the summer are bike nights, and there's always a ton of bikes, sometimes overflowing into the Cinemark lot.

Initial delivery of wings were dry and crunchy. They replaced the wings, but offered no discount for having to wait. Linda disappointing.

Best wings I've ever had, bar none. There are all types of wings here--spicy, mild, wet, dry, and everything in between. This is the place that convinced me of the greatness of chicken wings. While I believe there are plenty of great reasons to become a vegetarian, this place (and Hoggy's, located right down the street) are two places that will ensure that I remain an omnivore as long as they are open. All-you-can-eat wing nights on which the wait staff don't mind if you sit and graze like a cow, making sure that you get a few wings of each of their many flavors. Plenty of TV's all over the restaurant so you can cheer on your favorite teams while munching on great food. Need I say more? If I must...if you don't like wings, this is still a great place to go--their other food--such as their ribs--are quite good, and the antenna of onion rings is another must-order.
(5)Pietro A.
The place itself is awesome with a great motorsports & vintage Americana feel to it. But we had issues with the food: I got the ribs and boneless wings and my buddy had the crispy chicken wings. Neither of us liked their food one bit and as a matter of fact we are both wide awake at 5am drinking Alka Seltzer and feeling sick. Not good, especially when you consider that we've been on the road for one week already and still have one more to go...
(2)Laura L.
Wings were great spicy and service was excellent at lunch. The onion rings are far better at Hoggy's next door.

Do you know what it's like to lose all of your front teeth due to a terrible childhood dentist who told you that, and I quote, "Sometimes gums just bleed?" Well, it sucks. But the relevant suckage here is this: I cannot eat chicken wings. So while people here rhapsodize about the wings, all I can tell you is that if you remove the wings, you get a third-rate chain restaurant that serves bone-dry baked potatoes, sandwiches that have been seemingly shipped here straight from the Quaker Steak Sandwich-making factory somewhere in Boise, and processed stuff of all sorts. Is it terrible? No. The best thing about Quaker Steak and Lube is that it's within walking distance of the gigantic digital-screen movieplex, and it's slightly not as terrible than the godawful Hoggie's, which is like eating dried awful. Which means that when you're looking for a place to go after the movie and laugh and discuss how good (or bad) the movie was, this place has beer, and tables, and food that's not going to challenge anyone's palate in ANY way. That's not made of evil. That does not make it good. But it is not likely to slaughter the innocents. But hey! Maybe those wings make it five stars.

The Lubeburger here was fantastic....I was visiting family and the Cleveland Clinic for interviews. My uncle took me here and it has a great ambience (I loved the 50's style car and bikes that pervaded the place and the gas/jukebox). The service was friendly and the food came quickly. The Lubeburger was great and probably one of the best burgers that I had in a long time....it was a large meat patty, bleu cheese and a great collection of spices on it...
(5)Jillian N.
They have have live music every Friday during the summer, I believe. This is a fun place to come to before or after a movie (there's a nearby movie theatre) to relax outside and enjoy drinks and music with good friends. Gotta love their wings, too.
(3)K M.
fun place to go. wings are great!

pretzels and cheese. pretzels and cheese. pretzels and cheese. oh, and good wings. but more importantly, pretzels and cheese. pretzels and cheese. pretzels and cheese. you can take the girl out of the hickville, but you can't take the hickville out of the girl.
(4)Alan W.
The wings are great (not the best I've ever had but up there) and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. The theme of the place is cars (if you couldnt tell) so the atmosphere is really cool. All you can eat wing night on Tues. are the best. I have spent 3 hrs there sometimes on wing nights. The rest of the menu is ok. I usually just stick to the wings, but the soft pretzels are unique, taste good, and compliment the wings well. If you are in the area it is one place you should check out, if you enjoy wings and sports bars.

Quaker has two indoor bars, an outdoor bar/patio, and a huge dining room. The wings have many unique flavors such as Dusted Wasabi Ginger. My boyfriend's ultimate favorite is Mustang Chicken, a grilled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon. They also have neon bendy straws in the drinks!
(4)Scotty D.
I love the wings here. The usually get a hot or mild wing. Besides the zing, they actually have a taste to them, which I cant say for other wing places. They are probably my favorite hot wing sauce around. The BBQ wings are the greatest taste experience ever. I cannot even describe. They are heavenly. Shout out to: Arizona Ranch, Teriyaki, and Louisiana Licker sauces. Get the loaded Magna fries. Melted cheese, with bacon, and a side of ranch. Most of the servers are straight forward. In and out with orders and such. No personalities there anymore, which would have added a star. I miss that aspect of the visit. The best QS&L of the bunch though.
(4)Claudia J.
Great food. Shelly our server was very nice. Food hot and fast. Hostess was not very pleasant and didn't even smile. But we will be back.
(4)Nancy D.
Great place to go after or before movie. Fiance ordered wings and loved flavor said could be crispier and also had the onion rings I ordered Asian chicken bowl with rice and broccoli so much food will not have to cook at all tomkrrow. Tuesday nites they have a buffet for $13.99 which includes a beverage salad and wings and fries and Mac n cheese and all their sauces out to use food looked fresh a lot of people doing the all u can eat at 10p and the staff made sure to keep bringing out the food. Waitress was attentive and brought iced tea refills without being asked.

Was here a few weeks ago with my sister, I try out this place once an a while. My sister is a big fan, she loves the kind of food here, I tried the all you can eat wings. It was different from 5 years ago, now you can go up to a section of the hot food and salad/dessert area- help yourself, it used to be just wings. They also have shrimp now and the service is really lovely. Love the after meal Twizzlers and crazy straws! Fun place to dine out in.
(4)Beth R.
I MISS my Fort Wayne hot wings and QS&L's Louisiana Lickers hot sauce is as close as I've come to those juicy nuggets of goodness. Though some seating is rather chilly when the cold air rushes in with the door open, there are cozy seats to be found in the winter and there is also a lunch buffet for those that enjoy buffets. The first recent visit here we had over the top service and last time a quieter, yet still (if not more) efficient server. The fried pickles are full spears, the pretzels are delish, and the boneless wings aren't overly breaded. They're starting to become a favorite!
(4)Wendy F.
I do like the food here. Some servers are very nice, some are clueless. The lunch buffet is strange. You have to order your wings anyhow they aren't on the buffet. Kinda makes that pointless. Strange procedure for gift cards at Christmas time. If you are seating and eating, they won't just put the cards on your bill. They make you get in line like the people who walk in just to buy cards that are not even dining in. That is kinda rude. I am your dining guest, I should be getting service . Aside from oddities like that the food is good. I do like the warm wet wipes!!

Quaker Steak is a fun place to go for lunch or dinner, especially if you feel like going to a movie afterwards. When you first walk in, there are all kinds of vehicle-inspired decorations to look at while waiting for a table. On the day we went, a Tuesday, there was a large buffet set up that included wings, pasta, fries, pizza, and all kinds of other delicious-smelling dishes. We opted to order from the menu, but if there was more time to just enjoy the buffet, I totally would have gone for that option! My macaroni and cheeseburger was delicious and I had the homemade kettle chips on the side... perfectly salted and crunchy (who likes soggy chips??). The service was fast and super friendly, and I will definitely be coming back for the wings and more chips :)

Today, the I took the fam to see a 3D movie and then we headed across the parking lot to Quaker Steak & Lube. We were in the mood for wings and this is the right place to go for wings. I ordered the Buckeye Barbecue, my wife ordered Louisiana Lickers, and my daughter ordered the kids BBQ. All three flavors were really good. I loved my Buckeye BBQ wings even if they were a tad spicy for my taste. My wife's Louisiana Lickers had a delicious, intricate flavor and were about 1/4 as hot as the 5000 Scoville Unit Buckeye BBQ wings. Boy were they good! The decor of this place is outstanding, with full sized race cars and motor cycles hanging on the walls and ceiling!

Great wings. Nice outdoor patio. Good and fast service.

Every once in a while we like to get some wings. Usually they are of the Fahrenheit variety (is there a James Beard award for wings? OK, probably not, but if there were Rocco wins it hands down) but, alas, Tremont wasn't in our plans. We saw Skyfall at Cinemark in Valey View and decided to stop at Quaker Steak and Lube which is a 30 second drive from the theater. Sat in the bar and watched as two brave souls ordered the Triple Atomic Wings (better known as the "I want my mommy" flavor) and while each finished their six, one guy drank two large glasses of milk after and the other (permanently, I think) affixed his lips to a the side of a full glass of beer. I have zero idea how anyone eats those. I couldn't do it on a bet. We decided to keep it considerably more easy-going and ordered the bbq and the dusted chipotle bbq flavors plus a side of onion rings. Yeah, healthy as hell, I know, but sometimes you just have to, period. And, tonight we had to and were glad we did. We both enjoyed the wings a great deal and the rings as well truly hit the spot. We're not big franchise food lovers but I must say the few times we've been to this QS&L we've been pleasantly surprised. Whenever we need a wing fix we head here and will continue to do so. Many props to Luke M for his review as it got me thinking about coming here.

Staff was nice and friendly, indoor decor made a fun experience. If you are looking for a social occasion with a fun atmosphere, this could be a good place. However, it was very crowded, with people bumping the back of your seats walking by the whole time. My husband and I are not picky eaters, that's why we were VERY disappointed in the food. My husband had been there 2 years ago and said the quality has really gone down. Basically, it was overpriced bar food. It made Applebee's seem like fine dining (we do like Applebee's!) He got the Tuesday special buffet, which consisted if a salad made up of hamburger toppings, dried out and over cooked wings, and a slice of "pizza" which was a soggy crust with cheese. I got the "Lube Burger" which was recommended as one if the restaurant favorites. It sounded good on the menu, but ended up just being a Big Mac with a packet of bleu cheese dressing on the side. The meat seemed very processed, and "spammy" is the only way I can describe it. It was like compacted rubbery meat on a bun. They charged extra to have onion rings instead of fries, but only gave me 4 small onion rings. My favorite part was the Twizzlers they give us when we paid. Our bill was outrageous for two crummy dinners and fountain drinks. An expensive mistake on our part.. We won't be back. If you want a good burger for a third of the price, go to Brown Bag Burgers. At least their hamburgers taste like meat.

The lunch buffet used to be pretty good. The last few times I've been here, including today, all the buffet food is barely room temperature and everything appears to be frozen food, nothing fresh. I told the server that nothing was very warm, but I never saw anyone check the buffet. Not worth the $10 any more.
(2)Jason N.
Great for a casual lunch, there is a lunch buffet with basic bar food and you can also order wings at no extra cost with the buffet...all you can eat, including ordered wings. There is also dessert on the buffet. Service was excellent, food was good...no complaints, this is a restaurant we have come to at least five times and always have a good experience.
