Is that not the absolute best name ever for a restaurant?
Indeed, it is a VERY cool name for a restaurant...
QS&L ("The Lube") is a relatively small chain out of Pennsylvania...In northern Ohio, where I grew up and still visit frequently, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one of their restaurants. The restaurants are -quite- popular with the classic-car-cruise-night crowd as well as the I'm-having-a-midlife-crisis-so-I-bought-my-myself-a-Harley-Davidson-crowd. In my hometown if you drive by on a Friday or Saturday night and the place is -packed- with bikes and classic cars...it's quite the scene.
Unfortunately popularity and an effective marketing scheme don't necessarily translate into "Good Eats". They -claim- to have the "Best Wings USA" and to have won "hundreds" of awards...If a combination of tough and (at the same time) rubbery wings fit into anyone's criteria for the best wings in the USA...have at 'em. The rest of the food (that I've tried) is very commissary like (think BW3/Hooters but with a different schtick) and their baby back ribs are among the nastiest things I've ever had in my mouth. Aside from that, their sauces are indeed pretty tasty and can be purchased in many grocery stores (I believe I've seen them at Jungle Jim's
Here's some pics of the QSL in my hometown.
