Reminds me of “Fords Garage” here in the Tampa-St. Pete area. I love Fords interior decor.

[@chelseydeetta2847]

Gas pump handles on the doors I thought that was cool. Quit unique. Love the entrance of the bldg. very unique. Bldg. is in good condition. Nice find.

[@bruceblumhagen2878]

Great work as always! We had one of these in Fargo ND that closed up suddenly a couple of years ago as well.

[@JPVideos81]

Thank you

[@davidbadyrka823]

I live in Pa and remember eating here all the time

[@CometMasonTrucker]

I’m glad you got this so we can remember this because now they tore it down.

[@JPVideos81]

Welcome chick fil a

[@brayden63808]

I remember eating at that restaurant a while back when it was open and today there is a Chick-fil-A where this restaurant used to be

[@106pricey]

I used to be a mechanic for the Stock car Racing Experience who Quaker steak sponsored a car through. That "car" on the Bloomsburg roof is actually just the fiberglass body.

[@JPVideos81]

Didnt know that. Thanks for sharing.

[@TonyTitleGuy]

I had a job up the mountain, but lived in the Holiday Express, right in front of this place. Sorry to hear it closed.

[@SaltyNationalist]

It's kinda funny when you showed the open store.. There is a Texaco Havoline Davey Allison car in there.. Damn thing sticks out like a sore thumb around Quaker State green.. Lol.. But in all seriousness.. My fav driver back in the day was Davey Allison.. I still have a full size race flag with his car on it.. Your vids are lookin good btw.. No worries.. I'm creepin my way through.. Lol.

[@JPVideos81]

Keep on creepin!

[@mattsamsak5825]

There was one in Madison, Wisconsin when I lived out there

[@toy1413]

Matt Samsak its closed as well in the one in New Berlin, WI

[@jvatell6111]

It looks like it was a neat place to eat and have a few brews. I believe the restaurant you were trying to think of was "The Olive Garden". Thanks for sharing!

[@JPVideos81]

Yes, i remembered it later on in the video

[@BerniesModelRailroad]

Great video! I miss this place.

[@JPVideos81]

Was a nice place to eat and hang out

[@elusive_driver7206]

After doing research, this one closed due to leasing issues. There were 2 more in jersey that closed for the virus. Pohatcong and brick township Edison, NJ, but as of May 4, 2020, Govt. Murphy shut them down for good. I live in the pohatcong area, the building is listed for sale as of November, and corporate won’t bring it back bc it was ”franchised”. I’ve seen the outrage on FB. My favorite restaurant, now it’s gone!

[@JPVideos81]

Its gone now. Tore it down and building chik fil a

[@elusive_driver7206]

@@JPVideos81 I saw. This was research I did.

[@Rieju-Sherco]

Another sin, just like Uno's!! Best pizza I have ever had.

[@brendacombs3362]

It's interesting!! 😊

[@pattyroosa1712]

We go to the original in Sharon, PA. My ex would eat a bucket of atomic wings without breaking a sweat. Your name went on the wall and you got a QSL shirt. 😊 Miss the wing buffet.

[@DJinNJ08830]

There is a location on route 1 edison NJ @ Plainfield ave

[@alliejoopai4870]

Soo neat Jay, thanks.

[@JPVideos81]

You're welcome

[@susanbraun31]

First time I've heard of them, was interesting to see this, did they ever sell the property? Thanks for sharing, I like these kind of videos, neat to see the different places from different states, sad that they close

[@JPVideos81]

Still empty, but rumors of another restaurant moving in.

[@WadeLife]

Had a Quaker Steak and Lube here but same thing happened here couple years ago I worked for Tilted Kilt in Springfield,IL don't expect them to stay long either that company likes to do the same thing happened here as well...

[@JPVideos81]

The Tilted Kilt has been hyping their debut for a while now with no official date set to open.

[@wagil90]

Other than scheels the wasn't really much near the place

[@johnberlinski4949]

The restaurant is really big in Florida, I know of a couple of locations down here.

[@MissSara2487]

I loved their fried pickles !!

[@JPVideos81]

I never tried those

[@MissSara2487]

JPVideos they were so good!!

[@thomasyoest6557]

The original "Lube" still exists in Sharon, PA. Check it out.

[@josephwatson8448]

lf you eat hot wings and drink water it adds to the HOTNESS !

[@snakehips3131]

Bring back Top Dog

[@earthangel6480]

ERTH ANGEL😇 I live in Mass, but I’ve never heard of this chain. I bet the young boys really like this place!🏍🏎🚗🛵 Miller’s Smorgasbord in Lancaster county has a great feed also!, (buffet style all you can eat). That area doesn’t look very busy,or was it just the time of your filming?? You can tell that they really don’t want anyone roaming around in there!!!!!🌝🚶🏼‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️😇👍👍😍

[@JPVideos81]

Normally busy, i went early on a Sunday. This is near a walmart, movie theater and other businesses.

[@karenpacker8862]

Sounds like quite the place at one time

[@JPVideos81]

Good wings

[@nepapolitics6739]

It has been razed and a Chik Fillet is being built. The Original Quaker Steak And Lube is at Sharon PA.

[@jacquelinemorris981]

Looks like it was a nice place to eat at.

[@JPVideos81]

Food was ok, but cool atmosphere

[@tylerpetriello996]

Are you going to do a new one? TIlted Kilt was put in there, and that also closed a month or so ago

[@JPVideos81]

Tilter kilt was not in this bldg. It was located behind it up on the hill inside the former Texas Roadhouse.

[@jagerbomb3609]

They had good wings shame they closed............

[@StabTheDabb]

Do the Forget Texas Roadhouse Next

[@JPVideos81]

That Texas Roadhouse is reopening as the Tilted Kilt

[@jessicacole4909]

There was one in Syracuse NY. But I guess that colsed 2014

[@journeywithjay]

im gonna have to visit the one in bloomsburg to see if they have the hotwing challenge there. i definitely wanna try that. im always looking for places that have " hot wings"

[@JPVideos81]

Make a video of it!

[@journeywithjay]

+JPVideos I just might have too

[@ExploringNomad]

Yeah it's the same reason why Texas Roadhouse closed. The owners of the property raised the rent up real high so Texas Roadhouse decided to purchase property and build their own building.

[@JPVideos81]

Makes sense, only that Quaker Steak closed up shop and didn't reopen.

[@karenmann1887]

We have one here in Westminster Colorado

[@karenengman5225]

New sub. But wanna say the one my husband helped open in Louisiana is going to be abandoned soon as well. I'm sure. And it was a shirt and name on the wall. I was a server at the same one...

[@josephwatson8448]

l would love to talk to your husband about this.

[@WadeLife]

Ha the one in Springfiled,IL is abandoned as well....

[@JPVideos81]

I assume they will all end up this way sooner or later.

[@emilyculley9235]

How cool would this be as Route 66 themed place?

[@frankforrest1597]

The one in Rochester NY closed about the same time for health code violations. 🤒😲

[@maganevans5209]

I live in Northwest Ohio. I don’t think we have any of these places. I know we have similar places like buffalo Hot Wings and Dave and Busters.

[@JPVideos81]

Very similar to buffalo wild wings. Just more with an automotive racing theme.

[@donnasfocus2050]

I have never heard of Quaker Steak and lube.Oklahoma does not have these that I know of.

[@becca5237]

I used to work at that location & at the pick-up window..it was called the "wingo window"

[@JPVideos81]

Oh wow really? Did they ever tell you why it closed? I used to always go here for the wing buffet.

[@fpoonman30]

The 2 Quaker Steak in Houston and in the Dallas area was bought out by a company that owns Tight Ends Sports Bar.

[@JPVideos81]

Are they getting re-branded?

[@fpoonman30]

JPVideos sorry I don’t know the full story. I just know that tight ends went In the 2 location where Quaker Steak was.

[@wendyokoopa7048]

Larry Swetz I'm guessing tight ends is a breastaurant

[@fpoonman30]

Amy Capen from your comment you know it is

[@wendyokoopa7048]

Larry Swetz I looked it up. Yup women in sports bras and bikini underwear. Lol.

[@Titanic19127]

This is extremely weird because they’re pretty successful, this is the only one I’ve ever seen abandoned

[@JPVideos81]

Yeah, i was shocked when it closed.

[@Titanic19127]

JPVideos I’ve actually seen this one personally, on the way home from vacation

[@brendagregory3038]

There's one in greenville sc

[@vukavoroum7404]

They closed cause the inside was a mess, had a friend who worked here once.

[@sum_rand0m]

They had the best Mac and cheese tho...

[@captainbaseball1099]

UPDATE on this location the building is currently being torn down and will turn into a Chick-Fil-A

[@JPVideos81]

Yep, it was in the news

[@juanitaimhoff9844]

They are in Ohio

[@jhmorgan72753]

This was a shame, I thought they had pretty good menu and service, always had people there eating !!!!

Now its rumored to have chik fila moving in.
