Quaker Steak &Lube
10 Andrew Drive Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Quaker Steak & Lube is a casual dining restaurant chain that began in Sharon, PA in 1974. There are currently over 30 restaurants, based primarily on the East Coast. The original restaurant was located inside an abandoned gas station and had an automotive-themed decor. All of the restaurants have nearly the same exact decorations and look, though the menu offerings may differ. Quaker Steak is best known for its wings (“Best Wings USA”) and wing sauces, but their burgers, steaks, and ribs are also delicious.
Their menu dedicates an entire page to their burgers – offering 8 options to choose from. Each burger comes with a side included: Lube Chips, fries, Bourbon baked beans, cinnamon apples, fresh steamed broccoli or coleslaw.
We grill the finest 1/2 # USDA ground Steakburger*, lightly seasoned on a garlic toasted sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle.
I selected the All-American Steakburger with American/Swiss cheese cooked medium with a side of fries. We went on a Tuesday, which is All-You-Can-Eat wing night, so service was a lot different than usual. The food took about 25 minutes to arrive from the time we ordered it, and my burger came out way over-cooked. I sent it back and had the properly cooked burger arrive within 10 minutes.

The burger was really, really good. Super juicy and full of flavor. The toppings were minimal, but perfect and fresh. I really appreciate the portion size and pricing, as I left feeling full and satisfied. I also really enjoy the “wing wags” (moist towelettes) and twizzlers that arrive along with your check.
Burger Ratings:
Burger: 7
Quaker Steak has a really good burger. It’s not mind-blowing, but it’s definitely above average.
Side: 8
I fucking love the fries. They’re fried to absolute perfection, and I always like when restaurants have a separate fryer dedicated solely to french fries. They’re a little greasy, and are complimented really well with ranch dressing.
Environment: 8
I really like the atomosphere of the Lube. The walls are mint green and adorned with license plates and wrenches, and full-size race cars and motorcycles hang from the cieling. Being inside just makes me want to have a beer and down a bucket of wings.
Value: 8
$7.59 for a really good burger and really good fries. The service wasn’t even that bad, considering how incredibly busy the place was.
