Burgers, wings, sandwiches, etc. Very friendly service. Ordered a grilled chicken wrap with hot sauce (you get your choice of about a dozen different sauces), and a bacon cheeseburger. (All burgers were $9.99 as it was the daily special.) Food was delicious. Big portions. Served hot. Cute decor, including a giant race car hanging from the ceiling. Definitely recommend. read more

Went for another wing night with the fellas. We had solid service again, wings came out a little slower than last time but was still good for the amount of people. Wong sauce variety is great. Consistency of sauce is kinda all over the place between orders and even if two of us had the same would would be dry and one got all the sauce. The fries that come with it are good too great seasoning mix on them and came out fresh. They changed the channel for us to watch a game so that was nice. We will be back again. read more

Walked into a classic car show in the parking lot. So fun. So many cool cars to check out. There was a DJ of sorts playing music too. Went inside and was immediately captivated by the car decor with gas pumps and cars hanging from the ceiling. The restaurant splits into two and we picked a side and sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us right away and brought our drinks. We checked out the menu and decided on mozzarella stick shifters and bone in wings. Chose the Parmesan pepper sauce. That was not to my liking - too rich. The wings themselves were fine. I had wanted a dry rub but there was only two kinds and I didn't feel like bbq sweetness or spicy. The mozzarella sticks were average. The bartender was attentive and nice. She checked on us often enough. It's a nice experience to eat at this themed restaurant and next time I'll try something else. read more

Not only was the food here very good; but the atmosphere is amazing. We loved looking at all the cars, motorcycles, etc. that adorned this place! What a novel idea for decoration. My ribs tasted good even though I had to use a knife to separate them. I would prefer "fall off the bone" tenderness; however, the sauce was just right. My wife loved the Smothered Steak Skillet! Great flavorful mix of meat and veggies! Our waitress was helpful and efficient. There were plenty of people dining there on a Tuesday evening and everyone was having a great time. read more

Great Barside service and happy hour deals. The Boom Boom Shrimp wasn't anything I'd order again. However the burgers, fries and mozzarella sticks will keep me coming back. read more

I gotta say the last few times i have been here i have had pretty good wings. This last visit by my picture the bone-in flats are huge as well as the other stumpies! They were nicely sauced instead of being dry in any section that is for sure. We all sat at the bar proper since it was pretty slow around the 230ish time. The interior was nice and clean which can get difficult with a place like this because its large and with vehicles everywhere! Our bartender was friendly without hovering and was keeping up with 10 people easily. They had quite a few fun drinks the ladies liked. read more

Tuesday night found us at Quaker Steak & Lube in Council Bluffs, lured in by their discounted $12.99 All-You-Can-Eat Wing Night for January. That price is absurdly good, so naturally, we had to take advantage before the calendar flipped. First off, this place is a visual buffet. The walls and ceilings are a chaotic shrine to Americana--Harleys, hubcaps, and God-knows-what else dangling above your head. It's quirky, it's fun, and if you don't occasionally wonder whether one of those bungeed motorcycles might become your last dining companion, are you even human? My dad started things off with a draft beer, which he promptly declared suspect. No foam head = improperly rinsed glass, according to Bar Rescue. He's 75, so I'll let you decide how much authority that carries. I, your humble beverage goblin, played it safe with water and a Diet Pepsi (sadly, the only diet soda option). My husband stuck with tea; thankfully, the service kept all glasses full. So, no complaints there! The food arrived hot and fast. My dad and husband both went for the AYCE wings. Dad kept it classic with extra-crispy flats and a side salad, while my husband had the Mango Habanero dusted. Fries came as a default side to the first order of wings. As someone who likes to live dangerously but not with bones, I ordered the grilled boneless "wings" with Mango Habanero dust. They arrived atop pita triangles and what can only be described as a sad little pile of lettuce with pico de gallo on it. Maybe I was supposed to MacGyver some kind of mini taco situation? Instead, I ate the chicken, nibbled on the soggy pita, and Frankensteined the lettuce into a ranch-drenched pseudo-salad. (I also paid an extra dollar for carrots and celery because, clearly, I like to splurge.) Was it the best meal of my life? Hardly. But it was fun, filling, and, most importantly, cheap. For $12.99 (it goes back to normal pricing in February), you get wings, fries, and a side of quirky décor-induced adrenaline. What more could you ask for? Maybe cleaner beer glasses? Would I go back? Sure, but maybe I'll bring a hard hat--just in case that Harley decides it's my time. :) read more

Better tasting burgers! Offer lettuce wrapped as an alternative to a bun. Lots of staff with very ling hair to include males that dont keep it up. Should be some type of health issue to customers. read more

Used to be a great beer and ribs place with great wings. Disgusting. Both sets of silverware were so dirty the napkins stuck to the knives. The glasses were no better. Didn't wait for the food we ordered. Handed the dirty silverware to the host and left. Don't recommend. read more

This place is a joke. Wont be coming back, went there for the first time on "all you can eat wing night" yah more like only allowed to order 8 wings and wait 30 minutes for them to come then order more and wait another 30mins for only 5 wings to come to come out and finish them in 5 minutes. Ended up leaving hungry because i didnt want to spend all night there. The wings were completly flavorless. Even the mango habanero wasnt spicy at all. Bartender was bad also, she had an attitude and wouldnt ever check up on you. Stay away from this place. What a rip off read more

Got food poisoning once years ago and didn't go back. Recently gave it another shot. I don't know why but I always seem to feel sick after eating here. I really like how the menu is set up however. read more

In town for my oldest daughter's basketball tournament and this place seemed like a must try! It absolutely did not disappoint!!! The decor in this place was amazing. They have a huge wing flavor selection. The wings were great and everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. We even capped off dinner with a delicious skillet cookie. Great restaurant/Great Service read more

Cool spot NASCAR themed spot in Council Bluffs. Going in I knew they had good wings and I got the medium buffalo wings and they were solid. I also got a baked potato and it was gas. The service was decent throughout the night as well. Solid and cool spot! read more

We were seated right away. The table needed cleaned again, but they did it quickly. I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon Burger with fries, my husband ordered the Lube burger with fries and chassis chili. Cute decor. Very pub type feel. We happened to hit there early for happy hour so my husband ordered a draft. The food was okay. The French fries were delicious. Patty looked premade. Had charbroiled flavor. Husband said the chili was okay. We both agreed that we probably won't stop back. The value for the money wasn't quite there. read more

Flame grilled chicken was great. Broccoli was not done. I did get the mocha milkshake with baileys added and it was amazing.

The food was delicious! This was my first time EVER eating inside here! The service was great no complaints here! There was barely any noise inside. I had no complaints whatsoever. If I'm ever at Council Bluffs, IA or Omaha, NEB I will definitely consider eating here again! This place is also great for groups too!! read more

showed up and told it was a 5-10 minute wait, but it was longer. oh well, it happens. the food took longer than expected. my son got the Kentucky Bourbon burger and really liked. I ordered the ceaser salad with grilled chicken and was disappointed. There were no croutons which is normal for that type of salad and the ceaser dressing was the worst I've ever had. It tasted almost like an Italian dressing, so it definitely was a ceaser dressing. Not sure if I'll go back, but if I do I know I won't get a ceaser salad. read more

The service was terrible! Went here for me and my son. They crossed my name off the waiting list without seating me. When I walked up to the front counter, the girls had an attitude with me. Then my server was slower than I'll ever get out and while I'm waving my card in the air, he's oblivious to the fact I want to pay and leave. Don't think I'll ever be back read more

SO DELICIOUS. Their burgers, ribs, wings, fries, ranch, everything is amazing. Definitely worth the price. They also give you wet wipes for us messy eaters. read more

I love this place. The decorations and music fit the whole vibe of the place. We recently went for a night out and enjoyed some of their famous wings! The food was good and filling. Have 4 stars instead of 5, because the service but it was manageable! read more

Stay away from this place. Used to be good. Not so much. I love Quaker Steak, but not this one. Super slow service. Draft beer mugs need to be rinsed cause the beer tasted terrible. Come on. Manager lady doesnt need to have an attitude when I asked to put on the Olympics. Really? read more

We were sat right away. Our server took 20 minutes to take our order and 40 min to bring our food. When my smothered steak skillet and hubbys full rack of ribs came they were cold. Fed the toddler and left most of everything else on the table . She kept coming back around using an obviously fake nice tone so I matched that energy . Her name is Emma . I'm not sure where I know her from but she was acting like I stole her man and ran over her dog ! I hadn't had Quaker steak in 6 years previously but I know to stay away from there now. read more

We came for dinner on a Wednesday night and did not have a good experience here. It took forever for simple food to be served, while the restaurant was not full. We ordered bacon cheeseburger. The bacon was too greasy. The best part of the burg was the bun!! We also ordered boneless chicken salad. It was odd to serve salad in a bowl which made it not convenient blend in the salad dressing or serve. The chicken was very dry and looked nothing like the one in the menu..... read more

Dirty tap beer lines , dirty unkept staff. When I let bar tender know the beer tasted bad he said, "... we have been a lot of complaints ." The bar tender was sagging, no belt , wait staff was ungroomed. Food was good. Bar tenders and wait staff have a lot of work to do. read more

I've been a few times and have tried a bunch of the wings with both some hits and misses. I went recently on a Tuesday not realizing that for $14.5, you can get unlimited wings - your first order comes with 6-7 wings and fries, and each order after comes with 5 wings. Some that I would have again (In this order): Korean Bbq, Jalapeno Honey, Golden Garlic, Parmesan Pepper Some that I wouldn't try again: Cajun, Dusted Mango Habanero, Triple Atomic + Blue Cheese (flavor of the month) I think part of it also depends on how much fat is on the wings, how much the wings are cooked/fried, how much sauce or dry rub is added, etc. read more

The restaurant was not full, space in the parking lot and not waiting. Guess I should have took that as a sign. Waited a while to get drink orders so we ordered drinks, appetizers and main course. Three trips to the bar to get drinks, food came out before appetizers, cheese sticks came to the table cold. What really sucks is, I completed my salad before someone at my table received their steak. The food was bland and chicken was dried out. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

This was our first time trying this after driving by several times. My youngest ordered the boneless wings with barbecue sauce. He tore his up so obviously they were good. My oldest ordered the Caesar salad, and he really enjoyed his. My cheesesteak sandwich was on the dry side and lacked cheese in my opinion. There was a good portion of meat/toppings but could have definitely had another slice of cheese to cover all the meat. My husband enjoyed his steak, but you could tell it was overcooked. He requested medium, but it came out done with a hint of pink. He didn't want to send it back due to waiting over 20 minutes to get our food the first time. Our server was very friendly and checked in periodically for refills. Overall ok experience and will come back but might opt for something else. read more

Embarrassingly stupid pricing for wings, on top of nickel and diming. Currently 14.99 for 10 sub-par wings. Extra $2 if you want any celery/dressing. So 16.99... Aside from 3 or 4 items, every entree/item on the menu is cheaper than the wings, and they come with sides. You can go anywhere in Omaha or Council Bluffs and get a better deal than that, not to mention Salty Dog which is just a couple blocks up the street. We ordered 2 drinks, one of which was wrong when they brought it. We just paid for the drinks and left. Won't be back. read more

they encourage drunk driving. if you take an Uber home they don't give you a chance to pick your vehicle up in the morning before having it towed. read more

Contemplated on going to either Salty Dog or Quaker Steak and Lube seeing its been years since I went there. Decided ok Quaker Steak, bad choice for sure. Started off with Boneless Wings and Cheese curds or should I say Cheese Turds. Greasy as heck and the marina sauce did not help due to the severity of the cheese curds grease. Boneless wings were the best. Good coating of the Korean Barbecue. I decided on the Panko shrimp and fries. Again it seems everything was greased up. I get it being part of the lube experience. But goodness way to much. Had a strawberry lemonade which was more like water with a dash of color. Really wish I went to Salty Dog. read more

Excellent ribs and wings. Happy hour pricing on drinks and apps were nice. Waiter was helpful and top of things all night, even offered a small discount coupon! The environment is fun, tvs in good spots but can also be avoided. It's been a few years since we came here, but we will be back sooner next time! read more

The sauce is good- Louisiana Licker, Medium, Arizona Ranch. Fries were pretty cold. Lemonade was good but it was $4! 10 wings was a little over 16! read more

What a great place, came in from Kentucky for my graduation, made a stop at Quaker steak and lube.

Pretty mid. You'll expect good, but you never get it. The wings are just COVERED in sauce, waaayyyyy too mucho. You can't even taste the chicken, too crunchy. The inside is nice though. There's some really cool things called cars on the ceiling. I had never seen a car before, so that was pretty cool. Also, good service. read more

We were with a large group (about 15 people) and no one was happy with their meal. The word used most often to describe it was "meh". Typically if the food is "meh" and the service is great, I would consider going there again, but the service was much worse than the food. It's a large restaurant and there were many empty tables, so the crappy service can't be justified in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

August 12, 2019 Monday - 7 PM for Dinner One Adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 4 star Service - 5 star Background - Long work day of work and tired. I picked a place really close to the hotel. Atmosphere - Over the top racing theme going on. Cars hanging from the ceiling to add to the theme. Food Drink - Water, the beer selection was just the Mega Breweries. So if you like Bud or Coors you are in luck. Nothing local at all. My waitress said they had one before and just did not sell. Dinner - The burgers were not calling me tonight. I went with an app for dinner. The Magna Fries, a plate piled with fries then topped with melted cheese, bacon crumbles, and scallions. I wish there was a layer of cheese in the middle. Some my fries were cooked perfectly and others were under cooked. Strange. Service - My waitress was great, she will to split my check in two for the beer I wanted to order and my food. Work will not pay for my beer. I only ended up with one check as I did not find a beer I wanted. Future - Probably as the location is convenient. read more

The best soft pretzels we have ever had. This was our second time and they're still just as good. I got a pulled pork bbq sandwich, the bread surprised me, it didn't seem like your average bun, it made the sandwich better. Mac and cheese was good, I added some of the meat and bbq sauce to it. My husband got wings, Buffalo and garlic parm, the garlic parm sauce was really really flavorful but it was super rich. Like a very heavy sauce. I got a Tito's strawberry lemonade. We sat at the bar. Service was friendly. read more

We come here 4-6 times a year anf usually have a nice experience, for and service. HOWEVER: The Good: Seating was available right as we walked in on a Friday evening at 7 pm The Bad: If a plavehad no wait on a Friday evening, it is usually a sign, and it should have been a big red flag tonight. Wwe got seated, and the waitress was too busy talking to her coworkers to take care of us. When she finally decided she wanted to make some tip money, she showed up and took our order. She did offer me.a sample.of a beer, which I had never heard of before, and I got that 15 minutes later. She brought our food and never saw her again until my last bite, asking how our food was. Well.... The menu advertised jalapeños would have been great on our nachos or maybe offering to order me the beer I sampled and liked. She then never returned, so I had to go to the front counter to pay and voiced my concerns to the man up front, who responded with my total that I was expected to pay for our meal. Not even acknowledging my concerns. When I asked for a manager, he said he is one and the GM was right next to him, offering me a gift card several times; not ever apologizing for our experience but just kept pushing her free money to me. I mentioned several times how I don't care about the card but want her to understand how sad our experience was. When she only responded with her gift card to make the world whole again, I took it, and we just left. The Ugly Truth: The food was average. Nothing special but not horrible to bar type of food either. I am not sure how so we will be back because this time was just horrible. Find a local bar and not a chain restaurant corporation and support a local business instead of being a number at this place. read more
