Quaker Steak and Lube

Quaker Steak and Lube

Quaker Steak and Lube is a casual dining restaurant chain based in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The original restaurant was built in 1972 by George "Jig" Warren and Gary "Mo" Meszaros in an abandoned gas station in downtown Sharon, and decorated with license plates and old automobiles. Originally a "cook-your-own-steak" establishment – hence the word "steak" in the restaurant's name – Quaker Steak's signature dish is now its chicken wings and the variety of sauces used to season them.

The name is a play on that of the motor oil company Quaker State.

In addition to wings, the Lube (as it is often abbreviated) is known for the Lube Burger and Lube-N-Ade (a lemonade cocktail).

There are currently 28 restaurants in the chain, mostly operating in eastern Ohio and western and central Pennsylvania. There are also locations in Knoxville, Tennessee; Douglasville, Georgia; Concord, North Carolina; Madison, Wisconsin; Pinellas Park, Florida; Council Bluffs, Iowa; and Charleston, West Virginia. The chain is slowly expanding to different locations across the United States, with three recent openings in the spring of 2006 in Milford, Ohio; Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania; and Austintown, Ohio. In 2007, restaurants were opened in Portage, Indiana and Canton, Ohio. In 2008, restaurants were opened in Syracuse, New York and Greenville, South Carolina.

Wing sauce

One of Quaker Steak's gimmicks is its wing sauce flavors. The wing sauces are often depicted on the Scoville scale. The hottest flavor is the "Atomic Sauce", which is made from the habanero chile. The Atomic flavor is sold individually in a dropper bottle which is in turn sealed inside an oversized childproof prescription container. The flavor is so hot that customers must sign a waiver form before ordering it, freeing Quaker Steak from any "liability".
