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). Jason's rank order list of Pittsburgh Wings (updated occasionally): - (tie) Quaker Steak (Robinson) - buffet tuesdays - (tie) The Library (Carson) - buffet tuesdays and sundays - Quaker Steak (Pleasant Hills) - buffet tuesdays - Fat Head's (Carson) - 60c Mondays Jason's rank order list of Pittsburgh Buffets (updated occasionally): top tier - Quaker Steak (Robinson) - buffet tuesdays - The Library (Carson) - buffet tuesdays and sundays - BD's Mongolian bbq Middle tier - Quaker Steak (Pleasant Hills) - buffet tuesdays Low tier -Sushi Kim (friday and saturday kbbq buffet)

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"

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!

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.

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.

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 decor 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.

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.

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!!

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%

I have had nothing but problems from them not receiving my order and then when they make it they forget party of my order. I have too check my order every time I get takeout. And getting sauces is like pulling teeth. I avoid that place as much as I can. My husband likes the wings but I go get it duo he doesn't have to deal with their rude takeout people.

Pretty good. It used to be much better. Buffet for lunch is a good value. Bar is not. Kid friendly and they occasionally have events themed for families.
I was pleasantly surprised with my lunch buffet, the first time I had dined at Quaker Steak in years. I enjoyed excellent and pleasant service from server Cara and the blonde hostess. They presented a friendly and welcoming image of the restaurant. What is offered at the buffet for the reasonable price of $8.99 is impressive. The salad bar contains many good and fresh choices, and the delicious chicken salad and cole slaw were not overly creamy as some restaurant's such offerings are. There were also fresh chicken strips. I do not care for seafood, but seafood salad was presented as well. There were three tempting, cold sandwich and wrap choices. There is a soup bar, which contained hearty tomato bisque and chicken soup. There is a revolving grill with what was kolbassi or sausage. The hot foods included salisbury steak and beef stroganoff, wings, deliciously seasoned fresh green beans, spaghetti, corn, homemade chips, and onion straws. There were delicious french fries, which I enjoyed covered in mushroom gravy from the stroganoff dish. I did not partake of them, but there were several tempting desserts, including chocolate brownies. The restaurant is attractive, spacious, and comfortable. I enjoyed a delicious and reasonably priced lunch extravaganza! Bravo, Quaker Steak!

I was just at this Quaker Steak yesterday afternoon, and the staff there did something unbelievable. They took what could have been my worst restaurant experience, and turned it around into something amazing. I brought my father in in the early afternoon. He has been having severe back problems as of late, but wanted to get out and grab wings together. Upon entering, the hostess took us to our table. My dad made it about half way, and his back fully gave out. He couldn't move, and was stuck in pain in the hallway outside of the bathroom. The hostess and server jumped into action. They immediately got him a chair to sit in right there, while I grabbed him a pain pill and his walker. They then gave him some water, and proceeded to chat with us for the next 15 minutes or so. To put this in perspective, we were right smack in the middle of the main walkway to the tables, taking up over half the space. The staff did not see this as inconvenient, however. Their main concern was my dad's well being. Once he was up to it, they helped walk him out of the building. It was slow going, and he had to stop and sit about four times along the way. The staff and I basically carried him. They helped him to my car, held the doors, and everything. During the whole ordeal, we took an order for a couple of buckets of wings to go. The hostess insisted that they would handle the charge, and just wanted to see my dad back again, all healed up. The whole ordeal was totally selfless on the part of Quaker Steak and their staff. I will not only be going back again, but recommending others. Oh, and the wings were delicious.

Best place for great wings. I always loved the atomic wings now with the triple atomic wings I love this place.

This is a Pittsburgh institution...actually a Western PA institution since it originated in Sharon, PA. The wings are fantastic every time! On Friday, 6/7/2013, I had Louisiana Lickers & Cajan. If you like wings, this is the place to come. Even if you are in the mood for something else, everything else is great on the menu especially the Magna Fries!!! Service was great on Friday night, as always. And the Pittsburgh atmosphere is perfect for any Yinzer!!

AWFUL. It took about 10 minutes for a server to get to our table. Then the food took close to 30 minutes to come out and the restaurant was EMPTY. Once the food finally came out one of the orders was wrong. When it was brought to the waitresses attention she told me I ordered wrong (I have waited tables before this is something you never say). It took 10 minutes to get silver wear and I continued to wait for my order to get corrected. Our drinks remained empty the entire time we were eating and towards the end of the meal our waitress told us she's not on her A game because of Finals. I'm sorry but that is not an excuse for poor service. The food was not up to par either. I would suggest passing on the buffalo chicken Mac & Cheese. Overall awful meal we will not be returning

Went here last Saturday (1/12/13) for dinner and was extremely disappointed... in the FOOD. The service was pretty good- we had a waitress named Taylor and she did a good job keeping our drinks full and letting us know what the hold up was in the kitchen. The place wasn't busy but it took over an hour for our food to come out. My wife ordered a Flatbread sandwich and there must have been an issue with it, cause the rest of us ordered chicken. Those that ordered wings were disappointed in the size of the wings and the temp (they must have been sitting under a heat lamp for a half hour- they were soggy) and I ordered 'Boneless wings' that the waitress said '...were looking VERY good'. Well, they came out and they were nothing more than McDonalds type white meat chicken nuggets. They were BORING! They certainly were NOT the type of chicken that made this place famous! As another 'poster' said, we will be sticking to our local bars for wing night from now on...

I use to love All You Can Eat Wings Tuesdays in State College, Pa until they closed the location. The wings could be made to order, fresh with plenty of sauce or dry rub. Also, they had a salad/nacho/fry/wing buffet to go with the special. After trying this location a few times I can surely say that AYCE Wings Tuesday is no longer an enjoyable occasion even though the wings are made to order and that there is now, as of yesterday, a taco/salad bar. The wings come with little sauce, which doesn't taste as good as they use to, and the dry rubs are barely present. This is a shame because most of their other food isn't that good either, so now there is about no reason to go here anymore.

What happened to this place, I am sticking with my local bar for wings. The sauce tastes horrible, no flavor, thought the wings were dipped in crisco, no flavor and no heat. Just hot slimy grease. Would give this a negative star if I could.

I've had the wings and wasn't impressed but the burger was the worst I've had since I've been in Pittsburgh. The bottom of the bun was beyond stale...rock hard. After removing the bottom bun, I took a bite. The burger tasted as if they smeared anchovy paste on it. They may have as I was the only patron and they were pretty bored. I did eat three or four of the chips, which weren't bad, but they didn't make up for the anchovy burger. Never again. Ever

I ordered the combo platter with added ribs and $1 up charge for the loaded fries. Everything was warm; the wings were nice and meaty too. The ribs were excellent, best around the area. Service was pretty good, waiter was pretty attentive but got a little off track in the end. It wasn't a huge deal because we were all talking and having a good time. The caramel apple dessert was really good.

I went here for the brunch buffet on Sunday. Oddly enough, their brunch spread is better than their lunch spread. Bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, home fries, french toast, 2 types of wings, chicken nuggets in Thai chile sauce, garlic chicken, pita bread, BBQ hame, Wedding Soup and a little salad bar. The highlight is the waffle station and omelet station. There were only six toppings for the omelets and I don't know about the waffles. The cooks were friendly. Actually, everyone was friendly. The waitress loved our daughter and kept trying to give her sweets. I like bacon. Alot. And I like fresh made omelets. And wings. I will probably be back for the brunch buffet. Also, I'll probably come back some time for wings at night.

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.

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.

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.

We were looking for dinner on a Friday night in Pleasant Hills and dismayed at the lines of people and long waits at our favorite eateries. Quaker Steak & Lube was able to seat our party of four (with two children) in less than five minutes. The service was friendly, and the menu was extensive. The food we ordered was all served fast, hot, and tasty. The bratwurst chili and buffalo mac & cheese were both delicious variations on these classics. The bone-in traditional wings, in original BBQ, were crispy and well-sauced. There were lots of bonuses for kids, including a fun children's menu, a prize wheel, a "learn the Chicken Dance" tutorial, and lots of interesting décor to look at. We would go there again!

What happened to this place, I am sticking with my local bar for wings. The sauce tastes horrible, no flavor, thought the wings were dipped in crisco, no flavor and no heat. Just hot slimy grease. Would give this a negative star if I could.

My vegetarian status doesn't allow the Arizona Ranch that I once devoured.

I've had the wings and wasn't impressed but the burger was the worst I've had since I've been in Pittsburgh. The bottom of the bun was beyond stale...rock hard. After removing the bottom bun, I took a bite. The burger tasted as if they smeared anchovy paste on it. They may have as I was the only patron and they were pretty bored. I did eat three or four of the chips, which weren't bad, but they didn't make up for the anchovy burger. Never again. Ever

I ordered the combo platter with added ribs and $1 up charge for the loaded fries. Everything was warm; the wings were nice and meaty too. The ribs were excellent, best around the area. Service was pretty good, waiter was pretty attentive but got a little off track in the end. It wasn't a huge deal because we were all talking and having a good time. The caramel apple dessert was really good.

I went here for the brunch buffet on Sunday. Oddly enough, their brunch spread is better than their lunch spread. Bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, home fries, french toast, 2 types of wings, chicken nuggets in Thai chile sauce, garlic chicken, pita bread, BBQ hame, Wedding Soup and a little salad bar. The highlight is the waffle station and omelet station. There were only six toppings for the omelets and I don't know about the waffles. The cooks were friendly. Actually, everyone was friendly. The waitress loved our daughter and kept trying to give her sweets. I like bacon. Alot. And I like fresh made omelets. And wings. I will probably be back for the brunch buffet. Also, I'll probably come back some time for wings at night.

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.
