History – Original Lube in Sharon PA It was 1974 when our country had its
first gas crisis. The price of gasoline was skyrocketing, gas stations were closing nationwide, and carmakers began explor- ing how to develop cars that got better mileage.
But for George “Jig” Warren III and
Gary “Moe” Meszaros, it wasn’t about better mileage or for that matter even obeying the new 55 M.P.H speed limit. It was about finding a home to preserve the culture of those old gas stations and high-powered muscle cars.
So was born Quaker Steak & Lube®, a “Cook Your Own Steak” restaurant that
gave old muscle cars a permanent home, which included a 1936 Chevrolet, frozen in time on the original hydraulic grease rack.
It is from these beginnings that the Quaker Steak & Lube® family of restaurants began. Today, “The Lube®”
serves over 80 million wings annually, has bottled sauces for retail sale, has won the title of “Best Wings USA,” and has hundreds of local, national, and international awards for their sauce recipes. Over 45 locations in multiple states across the US, “The Lube®” is still rescuing muscle cars, vintage cars, trucks and a vast selec- tion of custom and antique motorcycles, giving them good homes hanging from the walls and ceilings in each restaurant.
Central Florida has its very own Quaker Steak & Lube located in Clearwater on 49th Street (McMullen Booth
Road) one block North of U.S. 19. The Florida Lube is only 3 miles due south of the Clearwater/St. Petersburg airport. They have the largest Wednesday Night Bike Night and Thursday Night Classic Car Night throughout the entire South East! Thousands of motorcycles and hundred of classic cars show up at the Lube 52 weeks a year.
Bill Church, Partner of the
Restaurant Operations, opened the site over 9 years ago. We put the FUN back into dining. We offer a excellent food with great service at a price that won’t crash the family budget. Where else can you dine under Dale Earnhardt’s #8 Nascar or Bobby Rahal’s Miller Light IRL car that crashed in Motegi Japan? We have motorcycles, corvettes, racing hydroplanes and even an airplane hanging from the ceiling. But what makes people keep coming back is the FUN atmosphere, friendly staff and specialty sauces that go on our award winning wings & ribs.
