Quaker Steak & Lube’s throwback fan favorite menu, available for a limited time, features three sharable appetizers and three specialty sandwiches from menus past. First, are the ever-popular Cajun Bleu Cheese Chips, featuring crispy house-made potato chips with zesty Cajun bleu cheese sauce. The Greek Nachos include gyro toppings piled high on crispy, seasoned pita chips. Finally, the Peel-Out Potato Skins satisfy cravings with more potato than skin and come smothered in Cheddar-Jack and bacon.

Continued nods to the past come with A Bigga Burger, a full-pound chopped steakburger flavored with signature Lube Seasoning, topped with cheese and grilled onions seasoned in Chipotle BBQ rub and Arizona Ranch^® sauce. The GTO Gyro features a specialty blend of beef and lamb, served traditional style on toasted pita bread. Also, with an aroma that screams summer, the Cheesesteak Melt is piled high with Philly steak, topped with cheese, mushrooms, onions, and a “secret” horseradish mustard sauce.

While guests are certain to be pleased with a blast from their past on the dining menu, they are sure to welcome the new beverage menu featuring a variety of masterfully crafted cocktails. The menu features an assortment of Mule drinks, refreshing coladas, margaritas and lemonades showcasing spirit brands such as Tito’s^® Handmade Vodka, Bulleit^® Rye Whiskey, Gosling’s Rum and Gosling’s Ginger Beer.

Quaker Steak & Lube’s beer selections also have expanded to include new IPAs, ales, and cider beers to reflect the budding palates of beer drinkers.
