Quaker Steak & Lube

I’ve been to a few of these in the area, and usually they are ok. Good wing sauce, you pay for the atmosphere obviously. However, my last four visits to the one in cranberry Twp have been horrible. Cold food, an 1.25 hour wait for wings and fries at 3 in the afternoon with few customers in the place, messing up the order, and general lack of quality in the food. The last visit tops them all. We ordered a bucket of wings that was supposed to have 20-25 wings in it. As I was eating them I started to think that it didn’t look like that many. I counted them and it turned out not only was I given 15, but the other customer I was eating with who ordered the same thing was given 15 (mind you we paid $15.00) for this bucket, but got the number that you get when you pay 11.75 (so Quaker steak saved 9 dollars on just one table). Anyway, I mentioned something to my waitress and she got the manager who was less than thrilled to correct the situation. She was very short and rude with us and eyed up how many wings we had. She did not introduce herself nor apologize for the inconvience. She brought out 5 wings for for each of us, bringing the total wings to the minimum of 20. Now, you would think if you made an “error” (I’m starting to think this is somewhat common there), wouldn’t you think you would bring out enough wings to bring the total to 25? She then went and talked to the waitress about our table (I do not know what was said exactly, but from the look of things it did not look good). Anyway, overpriced fried food with poor service is not something I care to go through again with this place.

Went here for dinner with a bunch of “wing” fans, who make this a regular stop when in town.

I had the boneless wings and magna fries. Though successful in filling a very empty belly, the food was not anything that I would make an effort to get to again. Just okay—nothing that would make me crave it any time in the future.

Those who got the traditional wings were a bit disappointed too—the sauce didn’t offer quite enough flavor as they remembered on past visits.
