Have you ever been to a Quaker Steak & Lube? Quaker Steak & Lube was founded in 1974. When our country had its first gas crisis. The price of gasoline was skyrocketing, gas stations were closing nationwide, and carmakers began exploring 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 70 million wings annually, has bottled sauces for retail sale, has won the title of "Best Wings USA," and has over 100 local, national, and international awards for their sauce recipes. Over 30 locations in multiple states across the US, "The Lube®" is still rescuing muscle cars, vintage cars, trucks and a vast selection of custom and antique motorcycles, giving them good homes hanging from the walls and ceilings in each restaurant. That being said, do you know that there is a new Quaker Steak and Lube in Vermilion? It is located on the historic Vermilion River. That means that you can get there by Boat, Motorcycle, Car, or Taxi just to name a few. Every Quaker Steak and Lube is unique and Vermilion is no different boasting an Amphicar and two outside bars with direct views of the river and its travelers.
