CEDAR POINT QUAKER STEAK & LUBE – For approximately the past 10 years, TGI Fridays restaurant has been operating under a 1 year contract with Cedar Point. Almost every year another company has come in and looked at the space and made a proposal, but it has yet to work out, and thus TGI Fridays has remained there year after year.

A separate source had tipped us off to the development of Quaker Steak & Lube possibly coming to the park, but at that point back in October, it was still exploratory and yet to be confirmed.
Today, Cedar Point announced the addition of Quaker Steak & Lube to their lineup.
SANDUSKY, Ohio – Dec. 23, 2014 – Cedar Point, already known for great wings thanks to its ultra-popular GateKeeper wing coaster, will be home to wings of the edible kind when the park opens a new Quaker Steak & Lube® restaurant in 2015.
The Award-Winning casual-dining franchise Quaker Steak & Lube® is known for its Best Wings USA and more than 25 sauces that come in a full range of flavors from Louisiana Lickers to Triple Atomic. In addition to Award-Winning chicken wings, The Lube® also features specialty salads, burgers, ribs and an extensive kids’ menu. Legendary desserts and a full-service bar round out the entire dining experience.
Founded in 1974 and built in an abandoned gas station in Sharon, Pa., Quaker Steak & Lube® has expanded to 60 locations throughout the United States and Canada. The compelling décor, including race cars suspended from the ceilings, motorcycles, Corvettes and motor-themed memorabilia, combined with its craveable food and SuperCharged events, has created a cult-like following for The Lube® for 40 years.
“Quaker Steak & Lube® will be a great addition to our restaurant lineup,” stated Chris Miller, vice president of food and beverage for Cedar Point. “Our goal is to provide our guests with the best food options during their visit to Cedar Point and adding an outstanding restaurant like Quaker Steak & Lube® helps us accomplish that.”
The new restaurant will be located adjacent to Castaway Bay indoor waterpark/resort, and is scheduled to open in May, 2015.
TGI Fridays will officially close their doors on January 1, 2015.
