For a while now, the good folks at Quaker Steak & Lube have been touting the party atmosphere they hope to create at Waco's next newest restaurant. On Monday night, they delivered a big bash complete with a parking lot full of sporty and fancy cars, a crowd of revelers, BMX tricksters and football on lots of big screen TVs.
Oh, and great food too, including a truck full of wings. That's not a metaphor. They had a truck outfitted as a wing bar. That's the bed full of wings in the picture with this blog.
Also featured in the food spotlight were barbecue ribs, boneless wings and cheese pretzels that included Guinness beer cheese.
There were so many guests at Monday's VIP party, that I sort of questioned where they set the bar for the V and I. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to be having a fantastic evening and Quaker Steak & Lube likely succeeded wildly at creating buzz for the Pennsylvania transplanted restaurant that will be the first of its kind in Texas.
The Lube will open to everyone at 3 p.m. on Wednesday and hold a Grand Opening party all day. This weekend, there will be karaoke on Friday, a Baylor Football Kickoff Party on the Patio on Saturday and one of The Lube's Car Cruises on Sunday. I'm going to have to experience a Car Cruise to properly explain it. Better yet, someone from WacoFork land should check it out and work it into a review.
One of the best things I noticed on Monday was the chilled out back bar, which The Lube calls the Brickyard Bar. It's an indoor-outdoor bar with garage bays on the north side of the restaurant. It feels like it's going to be an awesome place to have a beer and watch a game.
We've told you before, Quaker Steak & Lube is aiming to throw a never-ending party. They're off to a good start.
