This is one of my favorite places to get chicken wings and a chain I wish could come out further east. Great theming for a restaurant and it fits with the chain’s history and the menu plays with that as well.
This is also a very convenient location just off I-80 right before Youngstown though getting here from the interchange is a little convoluted, especially in the evening. Plenty of room to park and plenty of room to eat, too. Every time I’ve been here I’ve gotten good service. The servers do well in tending to their tables and keeping my drink filled. The dining area is wel-lit and plenty of screens showing sports if you care to rubberneck.
These are likely my favorite chain wings. They have more meat to them over most places and they have some very good sauces. Haute Parm is my personal favorite (garlic parmesan with a bit of a kick), though I also tried their Buckeye BBQ this time as well. The latter has some good kick and an overall tasty sauce, but it isn’t quite my favorite BBQ flavor. The wings I had were pretty tasty and cooked well and the pretzel sticks were very good; nice and soft and a nice beer cheese to go with it. If you’re crazy, you can always try to “eat heat” with their hottest sauce…but I’ll pass as they are even hotter than the Triple Atomic wings from 10 years ago.
I wish I was closer to a Quaker Steak and Lube, but this is definitely a place I’d consider if I was in the area. If you’re looking for a good chain for wings and other fun bites, definitely come to Quaker Steak and Lube.

Food looked great from peoples orders. I just met a fellow employee for room key. He said he’s eaten at one before, and it’s all good here, whatever you order. It’s awesome decor inside. Kids and adults will enjoy looking at all the decor. The server and bartender greeted me when I entered. Professional amd friendly right off. I might go here later to eat. I just ate a bit ago.

I loved the auto racing theme. My son and I were surprised to see the race car kids box that his meal came in. That was so cool. My steak was cooked well and was nicely seasoned. My son loved his grilled cheese.

The food was good and the staff was nice but it took them quite a while to make the food even though it wasn’t extremely busy

We went in exactly at 8pm and were seated fairly quickly, but after that is when the service went down hill fast. Keep in mind there was one other table seated and three couples at the bar. Our waitress comes over after about 10 minutes of us sitting there whatever, takes our drink order and goes to put those through. It took another 10 minutes for 2 waters a frozen mixed drink and a coke to come out, the bartender end up walking around the bar and serving me my drink because it just was sitting there and melting. Waitress finally comes back with the rest of the drinks and takes our food order. Now it’s about 8:20 so we’re sitting waiting and my boyfriend and I finish our drink after about 45 minutes have past since our food order was taken and the waitress is literally nowhere to be found so we’re just sitting and waiting. I ended up walking up to the bar and ordering our drinks there because it was quicker. Another waitress who wasn’t serving us came by and said our food would be out momentarily. Nope 20 more minutes past and a table behind us was sat served drinks almost immediately. Then their food order was taken and within 20 minutes hot food was served to them, mind you we were still waiting on our meals. After another 20 minutes our food came out. Both my boyfriend and friends burger and fries were ice cold to the touch, my other friends Mac and cheese was so cold the cheese was stuck in the cast iron and the tenders that came with it were so dry and cold they weren’t edible. The only thing the waitress offered was to throw his mac back through the warmer. My salad was all wilted and they forgot the cheese curds and the chicken was so dry like it had been sitting. I was furious after waiting an hour and 40 minutes for food for it all to come out cold! Worst experience and the manager just kept making excuses. Will not be back or recommender this location to anybody GO TO THE BORADMAN LOCATION ALWAYS AMAZING SERVICE!

When I was a teenager I learned to love the original location. Where I live is hours away from the nearest location so it remains a rare treat for me.
I visited home for the holidays with my family this year, and we stayed near this location. 7 of us went last night… and it was a great experience. Atmosphere was fun, food was great… from appetizers to burgers to dessert… and of those awesome wings… all was really good.
One highlight… the service here was incredible. As we were arriving, one couple commented to us on their party’s way out what fantastic service they had. They were right!
Our waitress, Lauren, especially is to be mentioned and commended. We are not an easy group to wait on. Lauren was excellent… going beyond just good service, she paid uncommon attention to detail… especially that of our children. It is rare I have seen such service and capacity. She really made our experience. Then on the way out when we mentioned Lauren to the manager, we found him again to be excellent and receptive. Well done Quaker Steak and Lube Austintown! Some of the other franchise visits over the years have shown themselves lacking and then closed, which made me sad knowing how great the original was. This location has stepped up and is carrying on the tradition of great food, and dare I say with people like Lauren and the kind young manager we spoke to, is perhaps surpassing them in service.
( never thought I’d say that last line!).
Great job… and thank you for taking care of my family and being part of a good trip home! Thank you Lauren!

After getting zero service at the Salem restaurant, we made our way to Austintown, whose service was totally on the opposite end of the spectrum here. We got seated quickly, waited on quickly, got our drinks, and placed our order. The food was out quick and very good. Our server, Sara, was awesome!!! She was very attentive and always made sure we didn’t need anything.

Had a very enjoyable dinner with my family. There was no wait to be seated for a party of 8. Server was Ryan W, and he did a fantastic job. Orders were all accurate and he was very friendly and helpful.

My daughter and I stopped here for dinner after a very long drive. We had never heard of this place, but it looked fun, and it was close to our hotel, so we gave it a go. Our server put us at ease right away, making us feel at home and as if we could take our time there. The burgers we had were out of this world delicious– juicy, hot and all the toppings were perfect. The fries were wonderful, too, but I hate to admit that I almost ignored them in favor of the burger! The decor is fun to look at, and the atmosphere is energized, but still relaxing. I don’t know how they do it, but they did! We had a great time, and we would definitely return!
