About Quaker Steak & Lube - steak house in Columbus, Ohio

Chicken wings & many spicy sauces star on the American menu at this casual, automotive-themed chain.

Customer Review Summary

Quaker Steak & Lube excels in its chicken wings, which are crispy, juicy, and come with a variety of bold sauces. The atmosphere is fun, especially during game days, and the decor is interesting with cars and games. While many reviewers praise the service, some experienced delays and inattentiveness. Most guests find the food to be decent, though there were occasional complaints about specific items being undercooked or not living up to expectations. Overall, the restaurant is recommended for wing lovers, but some diners noted it might not be their first choice for quality. The facility shows signs of needing maintenance, particularly the parking lot.

Quaker Steak and Lube knows how to do wings right! The wings were cooked to absolute perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. But what really stole the show was the sauce! Every bite was an explosion of bold, flavorful goodness, perfectly coating each wing without overpowering. The variety of sauces makes it easy to find the perfect match for any craving. The atmosphere was fun, the service was great, and the food was top-notch. If you’re a wing lover, this place is a must-visit!

This was my first time to a Quakers, I was told on the way in it was like Bdubs but with Nascar. On that hand they were right, but the food, service, and cleanliness was 10x better than the Bdubs I've been to. The food was still ok, I wouldn't choose to eat here. I got the Garlic Curd Burger and the pattys were good the rest was average. Also got the Atomic Scorpion Boneless Wings cause Scorpion Hot sauce is my favorite. The sauce was great the chicken was undercooked and also average. Service was nice and fast and our drinks were kept full. It was a good one time thing for me. I do still recommend but just not for me and I won't be back.

QSL is a dynamic American chain restaurant. Came to this location on game day. This place had a great game day vibe with large screens and a very large dining room with many games machines, and interesting cars and motors. It was enjoyable walking around this museum-like restaurant. Their service was also excellent. Some appetizers had a great deal during happy hour. I got a boom boom shrimps and boneless wings. Their award winning wings were tender and juicy without too much sauce. I liked the original bbq flavor. The shrimps were also fried freshly with a buffalo sauce and refreshing salad.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Quaker Steak, and while the food was still pretty good, the service was so slow and inattentive. At one point, I had to walk around the restaurant to try to find my server because it had been at least 20 minutes since we’d seen her. It must have taken almost 40 minutes to get our food from when we ordered, and it really wasn’t particularly busy. To top it off, they messed up the wing flavors we got, which they fixed, but we were already waiting so long. The wings themselves are still bigger and juicer than Buffalo Wild Wings, but I still prefer the sauces at BWs over Quaker Steak.

Small Christmas party for our RV group. Other guests were seated in "our" reserved area. Noisy, small children, bar servers in/out. Facility is adequate but .. Our server was great 👍. She kept up and food was correct and tasty! 😋 QSL atmosphere is always fun and interesting.

Wow. Never been to one, so I was excited to use my splurge day here. Arrived a few minutes after opening with a couple cars already there. I was seated. I was brought a menu. I sat for over 5 minutes waiting for someone to come and help me. I went and told the Host nobody helped me and wasn't a good time for a 1st experience there. He said sorry about that, but you can tell he could care less. Didn't even try to get me to stay. Maybe they just didn't like me, but I wouldn't recommend this place. Probably for the best....$15.00 Nachos a little hefty. I really wanted to try the Wings. I've heard good things.

Ordered wings and shrimp. Wings- good sauce, shrimp-good sauce. Unfortunately the wings were dry, and the breaded shrimps were fried in old/dirty grease. I’m sure if you’re enjoying drinks at the bar, great. Quick lunch, try somewhere else. Service was excellent, Denise was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Fun décor. Choose to edit and lower service. The company reached out to this review and after I emailed. I received no response back.

The food is consistent, and the service is pretty good. We always end up there on a Monday, so it's not crowded at all. The parking lot is in rough shape, but hopefully they'll take care of that in 2025.
