Quaker Steak & Lube

Looks like this location closed for good as well. Seems lots of these are going under. Admittedly it was a bit of a dive unlike other locations. So maybe they have been hemorrhaging money for some time. Still did the Triple Atomic and lived

Always enjoy this place. Great to relax watch the game, and cool off when it’s 100 out. Try the tower of onion rings.

As a resident of Concord since before the arrival of Concord Mills, and back when Nascar’s biggest trophy was sponsored by a cigarette company, I’ve been exposed to all kinds of new places to eat. I’ll admit, as a culinary student, I also have fairly high expectations. There’s nothing really wrong here, it just doesn’t really carry that wow factor that even some of the other area chains have. I truly wish I could give have stars because 60% seems cruel but I can’t bring myself to give it 80% either. My major issue with today’s visit is that my friend that I am with today has to eat gluten free due to a severe autoimmune disorder. Although they have a gluten free menu (we checked before we arrived), it is almost a year out of date. Allergy menus are required to be updated monthly, and this one in particular (at least the one in the restaurant) expired in October of 2013. This, although seemingly innocent, is a severe health code violation. Other than that, the food and service was about as good as you can expect from a corporate chain. Thanks for reading! New adventures to come.

Wife and I went here today and had the chicken tenders and they are delicious tender and juicy very good. We also took the triple atomic wing challenge boy they are good. sweet with a ton of kick the challenge was to eat six of these seriously HOT wings so we did and it was fun. The staff were absolutely amazing cheering us on while Jeff the manager timed us two minutes up wings were finished let the pain begin do not attempt unless you like pain lol. Seriously though this was entirely enjoyable definitely five stars will absolutely do it again.

We came in with a family of 7. Our excellent waitress noticed our wrist bands from the Great Wolf Lodge and said that we would be getting 15% off. We really appreciated this and wish it was advertised at the lodge!
Our waitress Shawna really helped us to find the best combination of wings for our large family and was great about providing plenty of blue cheese and such for everyone. Drinks refilled promptly.
We love good wings, and we were not disappointed. The Haute Parmesan wings are amazing.
My children enjoyed the trivia and were all able to participate with their ipods. We wish this chain was in our hometown. Prices are great and staff is very friendly and professional.

Seven of us went for a late lunch on June 7, 2014. Hostess said it would be a 10 minute wait and that’s exactly how long it was.
Our server was excellent. Kitchen took forever to get our orders out.
Pros: Service, Onion Rings, Wings
Cons: Potato soup was awful and removed from bill; Burger ad fries came out so late just sent the thing back & it was removed from bill; A salad was ordered without onions and it came with onions;
Additional 20% reduction on bill by manager as apology. I have no reason to ever go back.

Dusted Chipolte BBQ wings were incredible… service terrible unfortunately. One bartender and it was slammed. Felt bad for him but lacked any personality

Good wings and friendly staff. Got the bucket of 25 wing and 5 flavors. I enjoyed the medium wings the best. The Louisiana lockers were nice too.

I would normally give this restaurant 4-​stars but the service that me and my friend reviewed was not the greatest. She was just chit chatting for about 10 minutes with a coworker while we were waiting for our checks. The wings were very good though.

My husband & I were in search of a place with a patio to have a beer & Sunday lunch, so as we were heading to Concord thought we would try Quaker steak out since I had never tried it before.
It was a gorgeous sunny day & they did not have the chairs or tables set & ready to accommodate outside guests. Once we sat down the server who was nice but very young, inexperienced & didn’t have a clue what the specials of the day were came to greet us. He quickly informed us that most of their beer taps were not in service & the beer menu had not been updated in quite some time since only about 4 out of 10 were available. After three times of him in & out of checking what they had we finally got our 2 draft miller lites (meh).
The food arrived pretty fast, I ordered the chicken finger basket (thinking this would be the safest option after the issues that we already had). They had a ton of breading on them & weren’t my favorite.
My husband ordered the mild buffalo wings & I had to try one… I am glad I did because they were actually really tasty!
All in all I will not be coming back anytime soon– for $ 40 (with two beers each & tip) we could go somewhere MUCH nicer with better quality food & atmosphere.

I’ve been to this Quaker a few times. Every time I’ve been disappointed with the food and service. I brought a girl with me who just happened to like avocado an unusual amount. She ordered a sandwich with avocado, turns out they were out of avocado and didn’t tell anyone. I had to ask.
To be a little more on the shallow side, the beer specials weren’t that great and the wait staff could have been more attractive.
Definitely never going back especially with the Carolina Ale house right down the road.

Big fan of the Q. Love the wings and onion rings plus they always seem to have decent specials.
If you’re a bar food aficionado, Quaker Steak is your place.

Very pleasantly surprised. Went in expecting a grease-​loaded nitemare, came away with functional pub-​grub.
Was kinda a pinch search in the corridor, but wanted something sit down and not too horrible. Had never tried one of these so the flyer, excitement element was in play. Turned out pretty well.
The race car vibe totally fit the Lowe’s Motor Speedway environs — plus a car dealership is next door. Kinda cheesy, but good sight lines to the screens in the main dining area.
Like a hundred other places, they hype their wings. An app sampler (medium) justified it. Nice, dry, firm wings with a little spice (hot would be my choice next time) were very good. Could see making a nice entrée of an order.
But instead we rolled a bbq steak sammich («Thinly shaved sirloin sautéed with our BBQ sauce, crispy breaded thick-​cut O-​Rings, chunky bacon and Cheddar-​Jack cheese»), a chicken wrap, and a turkey melt.
Not fancy, not high-​end, but very well turned out. Nothing goopy, runny, or salty — just well done, watch the TV, and get full fare. No complaints. But a bonus were the freshly finished, meaty, and not greasy french fries that appealed to even non-​fry fans. Cannot honestly say if we just got lucky, but you can tell when a fry has been fired to order or not. Good luck.
Service was OK, a bit of the fire-​and-​forget mode in these types of joints, but nothing below par. Did wish that the draft selection was a little more evolved — no local crafts — or crafts of any kind — were an option, so Yuengling it was. Real bummer.

A long time ago, I visited this same chain restaurant up in PA. It was fun, fast and wings are great.
This restaurant, despite having the same name does not produce the same effect. I think the employees can try a little harder and inject some energy into the place. Look over at Twin Peaks. its bright, cheery, energetic.

Our family has made it a tradition to come here after their racing experiences (mainly for their lube tube of beer…100 oz of blue moon for $ 26), but their food was pretty decent. I ordered the Arizona el camino burger medium well done and wo the tortilla strips. It was super loaded with pepper jack cheese bacon sour cream corn and black beans. You can get more than just french fries including broccoli or mac and cheese or even a baked potato. Toddlers get free snack packs of goldfish crackers which was a big plus. Around $ 10 per entrée. It was a decent restaurant but the server, De, was pretty darn helpful!

The food has gone downhill. I used to love to eat the breaded boneless wings here. They were different than every other place I had tried them. The breading used to stay crisp even when covered with sauce. Not anymore. The breading just got soggy and fell off the chicken.
My husband ordered his steak rare, but it came out raw. You could still see pink on the «cooked» portion. His shrimp did not have any sauce on it, despite the fact that sauce was mentioned in the menu. His baked potato looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours.
We brought all of this to the manager’s attention, and the only thing he did was bring out another steak. He did not rectify the issue with the shrimp or the baked potato. We hoped that maybe we would be comped a portion of the meal since so much was wrong, but no. We paid full price.
We used to drive down to Concord especially to eat here, but we have both decided that we will never eat here again.

Quaker Steak & Lube is a great place to go for wings. I start with the onion rings served on a car antenna. The Thaiasian wings are my favorite. Not too hot, not too mild. Ask for them ‘crispy’.
QS&L has outdoor seating, which raises them a notch on my scale. They serve good American fare at a mid-​range price.

I need to get out to this place more often. I’m a big fan of decent wings, and they really do have some of the better wings around. Good salads. Haven’t tried their burgers, but I’ve heard good things.
Their wing challenge is pretty intense. I’ve been successful and had my name placed on the wall. It is quite the accomplishment.
The first time you get out here, you’ll find their décor impressive. It definitely attracts people. The service is ok, I’ve had better. Fairly on the slower side. Prices are a little higher for the type of food, but like I said, it’s fairly quality and you get a decent amount for the money.

The wings are fantastic! The best wing sauces I tried ever! The service at the bar is great and very friendly and they have
Some good drink specials during the week! I come here very often!

Like the concept, but the service left me wanting a bit. Went here for lunch the other day — it was actually one of my co-worker’s birthday so we all went as a group… there was six of us. We got there around 11:45 and it was not busy at all… we got seated promptly and then ordered… our waitress was pretty friendly and even made some jokes. We were all in good spirits, until it started taking a long time for our food to arrive. The dining room started filling up slowly… but I didn’t think it was overly busy. One of the guys at our table checked with the waitress and she went back and checked on our food. It still took a while after that for the food to actually arrive.
And they also got one of the orders wrong (switched with another table). My co-​worker thought it was his order… so he started eating it… then we found out later that he wasn’t crazy (as much as he usually is) and that he was eating the wrong thing. They still let him have his original order, but that meant that someone else in the dining room was going to have to wait that much longer to get their food.
I had ordered the All You Can Eat wings (since it was Tuesday)… but I didn’t get to take full advantage since the service was so slow. It was for the best, but still I felt a little disappointed I didn’t get to stuff my face with as many wings as I could.
Our food came around 12:30ish… so I thought that was a bit excessive. I don’t know if they had problems in the kitchen… but when a manager brings out your food — that may be saying something. She looked a little lost as well.
I’ll definitely come here again, but I am just a little weary…
