 NB>> Quaker Steak and Lube...
 NB> sports bar aspect of it doesn't appeal so much to me

I dislike cutesy punnish names, cutesy punnish menus and cutesy
anthropomorphic animal mascots on general principles and am lukewarm
on chains and sports bars but ...
 
 NB>> 8 oz burgers are roughly $6-7 without sides...
 NB>> the burger was decent enough I'd go back

I do like big burgers, good burgers and sensibly priced burgers, so
I am torn. 

 ML> it actually sold steaks. Now it's a wing house, mostly.
 
According to Wikipedia the first one was in a real garage and did
sell steaks primarily. The chain has but one Canadian branch and as
it is in Toronto I doubt if I will dine in one anytime soon.

I do like the fact that the menu has a SHU number attached to each of its
many hot wings, so I can avoid the 2 stupid hot varieties, as many
of them have hot sounding names.

One bar here I sometimes go to after work has a dozen kinds of wings
and on Wed, the happy hour special is a dozen wings (wee six wings,
a dozen pieces actually) for $3. Roslind and I can go with another
couple and order 4 dozen: some combination of 2 dry, 2 saucy, 2 hot,
2 mild and end up pretty full.  Unfortunately the beers are $7.50
and other menu items are severely overpriced so it's not a cheap
evening unless one sticks to the wings and just a couple beers.
