A construction crew began moving dirt this week at Legends Crossing as Quaker Steak & Lube will begin to take shape there in the near future.
We originally stated that Quaker Steak & Lube was coming to town in a blog published on August 22 of last year. However, with no signs of construction and the removal of Waco from Quaker Steak & Lube's "coming soon" status on its website, I assumed they hit a dead end somewhere. I was wrong. Not the first time.
So when the WacoFork wire raised the question this week, I half-heartedly promised to drive by and check it out. When I got around to it today, I found a construction site, so I walked up and asked "Y'all building a restaurant?"
Yep. They were. Quaker Steak & Lube.
I spoke with the construction foreman, who told me to keep driving by and I would see it going up pretty quickly. He didn't tell me a target date, so I'll make my best guess. BJ's Brewhouse began moving dirt in January and latest word is they'll open in mid-June. So I'm guessing we will have a Quaker Steak & Lube shortly before Halloween.
One more bite: Oso's Oh So Good Frozen Yogurt is celebrating its first birthday by giving patrons $1 off cups of yogurt all day Saturday.
