WI-JANESVILLE-QUAKER STEAK AND LUBE

I've seen this chain around the country and watched this location finally transform from a Damon's to the Quaker Steak.
No line on a Wednesday afternoon, no wait to be waited on.
I did notice that I and a few others had to ask where the restrooms were. Strange location and not well marked.
I went with their version of a 'Philly,' it was missing the green peppers and used a sweeter onion … great food.
Today I was just passing through, in the past I have stayed next door at the Microtel, when I do again I will be back.
Downside is no big rig parking, streets are posted with a 4 ton limit for parking (?). The TA is just a few blocks away, worth the walk.

This is not a Philly.

… and it didn't say it was. It is their steak sandwich, and has cheddar (?) cheese instead of swiss, the onions on it are breaded and is made with BBQ. Sandwich was good.
I also had potato soup … very good.
I was seated as soon as I walked in, waited on right away and my bill was on my table when I was ½ done eating. All things that make a difference when I am on a 30 minute break. BUT food took a little while to get so this break became a 45 minute break, no harm done.
Sign at the driveway entrance says 'No Semi's,' I'm running a 40 foot straight rig today so that was not an issue, No problems getting in and out. Walmart is a few feet away for those with bigger rigs.
Great food, but the price for the sandwich and soup is what I used to spend in three days when I was living off the fast food dollar / value menu's. I may be back, but not often.

GA-MARIETTA-DAVE & BUSTERS (recent visit)



Airport prices, but …

Great customer service. Good food too.
I had a hot ham & cheese with coleslaw. I came in contact with four employees in my brief visit, all were helpful & pleasant.
(OK, as a northerner, I could do without being called 'honey') ;)
