Quaker Steak and Lube, located at 10 Chrome Drive in Greenville, is not your normal sports grill restaurant. Quaker Steak offers an expansive menu which includes many of the normal foods you would find in a sports grill restaurant such as burgers, chicken fingers, sandwiches, salads, fries and chicken wings.
The layout of the restaurant is extremely automobile oriented, with seating inside booths, inside of classic cars. There are racing posters and vintage memorabilia everywhere. Also, televisions are turned to sports channels and located throughout the restaurant, even in the restrooms.
Quaker Steak’s food is set apart from other sports grills because it is delicious and served in large portions. Even the kid’s meals are sure to satisfy adults. This is definitely the place to go when you are looking for a big meal and a good time with friends. The burgers, chicken, and fries are all good, and the menu items have clever names for meals like chicken tenders.
“I was gonna get the wings, but when I saw the menu, I couldn’t help but turn away from the words ‘Chicken Fenders,’ they even come in a little box car.” said Taylor Wooten, freshman, math.
The highlight of Quaker Steak and Lube is Tuesday nights, when for $11.99 one can eat endless wings in any flavor they like, and with more than 20 flavors, every wing is a new taste that never gets boring. I am originally from Buffalo, New York, so I am a wing snob, but at Quaker Steak, the wings are fried to perfection, never too fatty, and the sauces are all delicious and they are definitely better than Wild Wings, Wing Zone or any other low quality wing place you will find around Greenville.
As for flavors for the wings, you have your usual mild, medium and hot. The hot flavor is very good, with just the right amount of heat and flavor. Other than the basic flavors, there are other ones like Teriyaki, Cajun, Chipotle, Vinegar, and a personal favorite, Thai-R-Cracker. Thai-R-Cracker is ridiculously tasty, almost like a dessert wing. The sweet spiciness makes it a favorite among the many wing flavors at Quaker Steak. For the people willing to go out on a limb, Quaker Steak has a flavor so hot that one has to sign a waiver to eat it. Good luck.
Quaker Steak is also a clean restaurant with really good customer service. With reasonably priced meals that are sure to fill you up and an all-you-can-eat wing night, you really cannot go wrong with Quaker Steak and Lube for any occasion. Just make sure you get there at a decent hour on Tuesday nights.
