Quaker Steak & Lube debuts combo meal deal

As part of its new Double Take promotion, Quaker Steak & Lube is offering diners two of its Custom Built Combos for $20.

It’s marketing the Double Take deal as a meal for two customers or one, noting that solo diners could enjoy one of the meals in-restaurant and take the second to go.

The casual chain has also added three new items to its options for Custom Built Combos, which allow diners to choose one of five appetizers and one of five chicken dishes to create a meal.

Quaker Steak & Lube was this year named one of Technomic’s Top 500 restaurant chains, with estimated U.S. sales of $132.5 million during 2016.
