[ "How 'bout …" is the logical extension of our tagline "Where you wanna eat?" Because we've all been there when someone says "Where you wanna eat?" and then everyone stands around a little awkwardly until someone cautiously offers up "How 'bout …" and then the name of a restaurant. It's also a way for us to highlight the restaurants that we want to highlight. Here it goes. ]
Quaker Steak & Lube, a Pennsylvania-based restaurant that features a fantastic motor sports and automotive theme, opened its first Texas restaurant in Waco in September of 2012. The Lube, as its fans call it, provides plenty of fun for patrons and some of the best wings anywhere. In fact, The Lube dining room is highlighted by a pick up truck outfitted as a wing bar with a plethora of wing flavors. Speaking of variety, The Lube has more than a dozen beers on tap, making it one of the best places in town to grab a beer and wings with buddies while watching the big game or games on The Lube's wall-to-wall big screen TVs.
It's great for ... Indulging in wings and such and, perhaps, a Lube Tube of beer while watching the game or games on The Lube's many big screens. In case you haven't experienced it, the Lube Tube is a meter-tall tube of beer with its own tap so you and your buddies can have all the beer you need at your disposal to either celebrate your team's success or drown your sorrow. There's plenty of football action this weekend, so the time is right.
We recommend … haut parm wings. Really, you should try the buffet and find your favorite flavor. But the haut parm hit us just right.
If you're feeling adventurous ... take the triple atomic wing challenge. The heat description on the menu is "Guts, Glory, Pain." You're required to sign a waiver before tackling the hottest flavor on The Lube's wing menu.
The kids will dig ... the many fantastic car racing decorations, including a full-sized NASCAR ride hanging upside down from the ceiling.
WacoFork folks say ... "It is late night dining (fri-sat 2am, please open extra days those hours!), that is actually good and not just microwave reheated tasting junk foods. Something Waco needed!" -- stephen
