Service was decent but the seating wasn't great. I recommend not sitting near the kitchen door on the right side by the bar. It was loud and cramped with everyone passing by. I only liked the Golden Garlic sauce on my wings. Louisiana Lickers and Kentucky Bourbon Glaze are popular but I didn't like them at all. Appetizers were fine but nothing special. read more

As good as Duffs in NY! Crispy and wet, like a little soup sauce. Best in the area if you are a wing critic. Super hot! Great service from Ashley the bartender read more

Hi! I'm more writing this review towards management because i was on hold for 37 min. It's clear that you need more staff. I called to place an order and the guy said to give him 5 minutes on hold bc there was people in front of me. I said okay. After some time, i decided to place my order on line. I stayed on hold bc i wanted to ask a question about my order, and even made it to the restaurant and no one had came back to the phone. After about 15min at the restaurant, someone just eventually hung up on me. I know what it's like to be a restaurant employee that doesn't have the support they need. Please help them out. read more

This place is a joke! Restaurant was nearly empty(maybe 4 tables, and a couple people at the bar). Got our appetizer after about 20 minutes. Waited 40 minutes for food which never arrived. The only time we saw our waitress, she was sitting at the bar yacking with a customer. Finally had to go to the bartender to cancel our order(we had to leave). She sends the manager over, who gives a half-ass apology and doesn't even comp the appetizer for our trouble. And these servers out here crying 30% tip should be minimum, or stay at home. read more

The wings are top notch. I'm old school and loved the suicide wings but the PC police made them change the name. I think it's now called Supre Re Charged. Do not do the atomic challenge. I did it, got the t shirt and picture on the wall but it takes a couple of days to recover. The first wing is tasty but the hell that kicks in will fill your life with regrets. Great Ambiance and top notch service always. Thumbs up read more

Awesome waiter, feast for a group. Love that they serve PBR. Lots of TVs for OSU game. Wings galore Outside music on summer Thursdays! read more

Quaker Steak & Lube - PBR me - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Heard the absolute worst steak ever here. When the steak was brought out, I could smell that something was off with the steak. Cut off one bite and put in my mouth and had to spit out immediately as it was rancid. Upon looking further at the stake, I could also tell that it had a grayish tent to it. Called the manager over and explained everything and had the state taken away. While he offered to bring another steak, I politely declined as I couldn't fathom putting that in my mouth again. I am there with a large quantity of people so at the end of our meal, the waitress proceeds to bring me a bill for my four dollar Coke! As I was with this large group of people, I did not wanna make a scene and just paid for the four dollar Coke. Both the manager and the waitress knew about the bad steak so I was a little put off by receiving a bill for anything at all! This has put a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended ) needless to say. read more

We came to this restaurant specifically for wings. My Nice ordered wings and it was bloody red. Our server and manager were very hospitable but didn't understand the difference in what is cooked And undercooked. So it really Ruined dinner. Nobody likes bloody wings. read more

Been here many times, no complaints. Cheap food, cheap beer (2.50 Miller Lites all day!), plenty of seating and parking, servers are friendly although our most recent visit the service took a bit longer than usual. I don't eat wings so I usually get the shrimp basket - ask for a sauce on the side! My friends all prefer the Thai'r'cracker but I love the smoky jalapeño honey. Would return. read more

Quaker Steak & Lube - Hubby was ordering his food it was his birthday - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Food was average but we didn't really expect fine dining. However, we had great service and that needs to be called out!

Service was good the problem is with the pricing and portion sizes. The wings which they are known for are very lackluster as there is almost no chicken in the boneless wings and are 90% breading and very tough to chew. Taking that into account the pricing is almost double of what other local restaurants offer with much better wings. The portion sizes are also way off as it was $5 for a side of fries and what came out was smaller than a small size of fries from McDonald's. Also found it off putting for the customer to have to pay for their cup of ranch that should come with the wings. Do they not offer 1 complimentary cup for customers!?We decided we will not be going back as it's not worth the price or food and there are much better wing options out there for better prices. read more

First time trying this chain and so worth it. I enjoyed the baby back ribs and wings combo with fries and slaw. The ribs were amazing. Wings were good just ordinary wings. Fries were good. Slaw, my husband and I did not care for it but slaw is a personal preference on the type you like. My husband order 2 meals (it's typical). He had the ribeye with the beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. The steak was amazing (I tried a bite or 2 or 3). He love the potatoes and beans. The second meal he ordered so we could try was the Mac and cheese skillet with pulled pork. The Mac and cheese was delicious. We both agreed that we would have liked it better without the pulled pork on top. Was a little much. Inside there was so much to look at. We enjoyed it very much. read more

We visited Quaker Steak and Lube at the Cincinnati location. When we walked in, one side of the restaurant was closed. We found out later, that was due to labor issues, which is becoming the norm for lots of businesses. The food here is always good, as well as the service. The servers were several people short, but did a remarkable job considering. We will be back, hopefully when they are fully staffed. read more

Thank you Ang for wonderful service. The food was great!! Perfect ambiance for a casual dinner with coworkers.

We occasionally eat and drink here. Tonight was the last straw and I don't plan on coming back any time soon. Bartender was great. Restaurant was cold, like 65 degrees cold. Im sure the cooks were comfortable but the patrons were not. Ordered ribs and wings. Ribs were good. Wings came out luke warm and sauce appeared to have been dumped on them instead of tossed as they were not evenly coated and had a few bare wings. At $17 for 12 small (i mean small) wings they had better be perfect. They weren't. Cheese sauce with wife's broccoli side was so cold it was almost solid. I think this is the third time in a row where food was served, basically cold. At these premium prices I expect better but apparently this is the norm. A few beers and luke warm wings and sides later we are out nearly $70 and not happy about anything except the nice bartender, reasonable beer prices and tasty ribs. The rest sucked. read more

Well we gave it two tries!!! And the 2nd time was the worst! First off restaurant was at 1/3 capacity and there was an 30 min wait??!! So we opted to go to the bar. That was a bad move. Only two paying customers there. Her best friend was there so she got all the attention. Not to mention the bartender selling her stuff and always getting in her backpack in front of us. Rude!!! we finally got our order which was wrong, but the worst of it....COLD. How do you serve cold fries and wings? Literally had a tough time chewing the meat off the wings. Almost like the food was made and sat back there for 20 min then given to us? But what do you do when all you have are kids who don't give a sh*t about being there! That's the last you'll see of us spending our $$ here!!! read more

Great wings too bad they don't have bone in wings from Colerain location on Door Dash anymore. I used to order $50 worth of food for game night. Just lost a customer read more

This is the second time they've had the TVs turned up unbearably loud. I asked the waitress twice if they could turn it down, and asked for a manager. One never came. I couldn't finish my meal, so I asked to have a box and left only half done. Too bad, it's one of our go-to places for the food and usual atmosphere, but it will be a long time, if ever, before I set foot in there again. And if I ever do, and it's that loud, I'll turn right around and leave. Was Tiger Woods playing golf, and the screaming and thunderous applause every time he moved, worth it to someone in there? Too bad, those were great chicken tenders... when I could taste them. read more

Ate here about 8 pm on a Saturday night. REALLY REALLY slow service considering there were only half a dozen tables with patrons. Food was very good, but I've had chicken nuggets from McDonald's that were bigger than the chicken tenders. The waitress was accommodating and did bring me a few more. Overall, a C-, D+ experience. read more

Lovely Quaker Steak and Lube - just like every other Quaker Steak we've been to. Fast service, fresh and delicious wings, and amazingly yummy french fries and ranch. Would come back in a heartbeat - though we always try to aim for off-peak hours because this place can get BUSY during peak hours. PROS: -Delicious food - as always. You definitely go to Quaker Steak and Lube for their Wings. Boneless or bone-in, that's definitely what they're known for - in addition to the freakishly large list of sauces ranging from slightly hot to holy-shit-hot. If you love spicy wings, you might never leave Quaker Steak. -Their french fries and ranch aren't to be outdone though. Both are absolutely amazing. Ranch is perfectly creamy and addictive and the fries are so warm, never-greasy, and delicious. I'm not a Wings person, but I am 100% a "Quaker Steak and Lube Fries" person. -Cook times are perfect too. I'm always impressed by how quickly Quaker Steak and Lube gets my food to me, and this location does an amazing job of it as well. When my tablemate received his order of wings and wanted another fresh, hot order of wings to eat next, he placed his order, and it was done pretty much exactly as he was finishing the current order. -Anyone who's been in a Quaker Steak and Lube interior will remember it. It has an adorable "mechanic" theme (based off of their humble upbringings) and it's beautiful. Lots of yellows and greens, and lots of cars/motorcycles/etc. hanging off from the ceiling. It's pretty awesome. It definitely seals the "mechanic" feel to the restaurant. -When you're done with your meal, you'll get warmed wet wipes and Twizzlers. The warmed wet wipes have yet to actually negated having to wash hands after eating their Wings, but it's a good start to ensure you don't make a mess on the way to the bathrooms. -Calorie counts are on all of the menu items. Honestly, Quaker Steak and Lube is not a place to go if you're watching your calories, though. It's hard to find anything that's semi-reasonable. CONS: -This Quaker Steak is located in the weirdest spot. All of the restaurants are. It's like someone didn't do any city planning in this part of the area. You have to drive through a Meijer parking lot to reach the restaurant - and drive back through it to leave. It's odd. -I have nothing actually useful. Really, I have nothing. I love the other Quaker Steak and Lube locale in northern Cincy, and I love this one too. They've done a fantastic job. read more

In the summer months they have outdoor bands. The music is so loud I can hear nearly a mile away inside my house. With the doors and windows shut. This is very disruptive. Quaker Steak is not a good corporate citizen. They have no regard for its neighbors, nor the adjacent neighborhoods. read more

If I could give a 0 I would. This is by far the worst food I've had, the worst neighbor tk the point I can't sleep at night because of their concerts echoing across the highway. I hope they learn how to control sound via simple physics or they lose their noise permit. Always overtime always louder then approved. Prove me wrong. read more

3/5 Not the best performance tonight.... Food was okay - service needs some work. Forgot the ice for the beer and the Twizzlers at the end with the check. 5/5 Tonight the service was much better. The server was great. Food came fast and was very tasty. read more

I love coming here when I'm in town. But not so much this time. The boneless chicken wings were good. The #truth IPA beer I had was excellent! The ambiance was exactly what it is, every time I come. Then why not a 5 star rating you ask? It's your disgruntled employees. -I don't care to hear about internal disagreements that your establishment has. -I don't care that you've been working here for a long time and nobody cares about you. - I don't care that your fellow employees hate you and you're the only thing that keeps this place going. -I don't care that you have bills to pay and you feel you're being treated unfairly. ------------------------- -I do care that the other employees around you don't feel comfortable working with you. -I do care that you are a direct reflection of your work place. -I do care that not only me as a patron, but other patrons can hear the same shit I do. -I do care that I just want to enjoy my beer and meal in peace and not have to hear about about the soap opera. ------------------------- A message to managers, no matter what type of business you are in........ Be aware of your staff and it's issues. Don't let one bad apple, rear it's nasty head and spread darkness to the rest of your employees. Squash any problems you may have prior to turning on your open sign. Your numbers will look that much better! read more

We live in Indiana and had heard great things about their wings so we had to stop after our trip to kings island and I am stuffed! My wings were hot and boneless and my fries were loaded.

Worst meal I've had in years. Took 15 min to get a drink! Got 1 refill and that was a stretch. Food took 48 min from sitting. Cold, came out wrong and tasted awful. Our server was rude and didn't check on us. I'm not one to company and I was a server once so we still tipped 20% because who knows what is going on in her life. Save your money and go somewhere else. Horrible! read more

I have been coming here for 5+ years. When i go in the front door i always turn to the right and go to the bar. It is nice that whoever is behind the bar knows what the wife and i drink and starts to take care of us. We were there this past Friday night and just like normal, our drinks were being made. Kristen was busy getting her station ready for her shift, doing bar work, but knew what we normally drink. She has always been on the ball to take care of ALL of her customers. To suggestions from not only her but other staff members on trying something new. Funny thing is we have never had bad service, one of the reasons we keep coming back. When you go in on a certain day, you also make friends with other customers. If you are new to coming into this bar area, They always greet you with a smile. read more

I visited on a Tuesday evening with some of my family. I appreciated the Tuesday deals, I went for the 20 boneless wings with fries for $10. Both the fries and the wings were fine, but not great. This was a Tuesday special, so if I visit again I would definitely come on a Tuesday. The waiter was friendly, but the service was slow. It was overall a good experience but I won't necessarily seek out a return trip. read more

Food is always good. It's the service that really was awful. We sat in bar area like we as usual. This time the woman behind the bar, Crista, I think, wasn't in the mood to wait on us. She took care of everyone else before finally checking on us. She wanted our order when we didn't even have menus yet. This really pissed her off. Later she got our order which included salads that never came. We're both over 70 she was extremely rude. Wife had to get someone else to get a drink refill. Worst service ever,anywhere. read more

Sports bar with a menu that's a notch above. Great ambiance with lots of sets, drink specials and a penchant for motorcycles (lots of them hung from the ceiling!). Comfortable atmosphere that invites you to linger. Great for groups. Wings, burgers, steaks, ribs, and shrimp. Oh yes salads and soups too. My Boom Boom Shrimp was Bangin'. Chili so thick you could stand a fork up in its slow cooked flavorful goodness. Shout out to Sheamariah. Awesome waitress - To the max! read more

Stopped in for lunch @ 2pm. Waited 6 minutes at the door to either be greeted or shown to a seat. Made eye contact with both bartenders on either side; no one came to acknowledge us or the party that was there before us. Party of 8 ate at another establishment down the street. I guess on to Plan B. I will never waste my time or money where my dollar isn't valued. read more

the parking lot always seem packed so I stopped in. First impressions was very nice and busy place. The decorations were fitting. After that I lost interest in this place. It was my first and last time here. The food was not good ether looking or tasting. It seemed thrown on the plate. The place was busy but service could of been better. I was not impressed by anything here but the decorations. And yes I herd bike night is better but I not sue how. read more

So this place is okay. The servers always seem a bit flustered. My kids meal was good and she liked it, also we liked they had pictures on the kids menu to help pick what they want. Anyway.... I got boneless and a salad with dressing on the side..... but it didn't come on the side. My husband got a steal sandwich which he said was okay. I really want to like this place but it's just a smidge overpriced for the quality? It confuses me every time. Willing to try again read more

I headed over to Ohio to meet friends for lunch and they wanted to go to Quaker Steak & Lube. My friend is originally from Pennsylvania, and this is where this chain restaurant was started. I am not a fan at all of chain restaurants, but this one was decent. I started out with their hot wing challenge. Now please keep in mind when it comes to heat, I am a freak. I have never eaten anything that was to hot for me. I have defeated every heat challenge without breaking a sweat. With the disclaimer, this hot wing challenge was a walk in the park. However, overall the wings were cooked perfectly and the sauce had a nice touch of heat and great flavor. I had a salad and my date had the chicken sandwich. Across from me was two burgers. Everything looked good and people seemed to be happy. There was plenty of grilled chicken on my salad, The chicken was seasoned well and had good flavor. The rest of the salad was well constructed and help fill me up. I would overall give the food a 3 (above average). There was two reason I decided to go with a four for this chain restaurant. One reason was the prices. Overall, the prices were decent! Any up-charges were immediately explained at the time of order. The other reason was the service. Our party had a very attentive waitress who was detail oriented. She seemed happy and appeared to enjoy working at this establishment. Overall, the place was clean and well taken care of. The ambiance was casual with a sorta sports bar flair. There aren't many chain restaurants worthy of either my time or money, but Quaker Steak & Lube meets my standards. If you are in the area and looking for a place to eat, this one is worth checking out. read more

Everyone loves wings and Quaker Steak has some of the largest around. My recent trip was really good; got a table fast, service was good, and the food came out really fast! I do think they go quite light on the sauce and then charge extra if you want more. Seems like a regular issue so not sure what's up with that. This is my spot when I want wings or watch a game with a large group. read more
