A long time breakfast favorite for "Country Cooking" when we visit Quincy. Our recent visit didn't disappoint. The Coach house serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is a clean, reliable restaurant with good food, service and great prices. It is large with a lot of seating for groups of all sizes, including a comfortable counter if you're dining alone. We ordered one of their famous cinnamon rolls and a traditional bacon & egg breakfast. The HUGE cinnamon roll was delicious! Make sure to order one for yourself, or to share. The egg breakfast was delicious as well with a generous portion of bacon and the best hash browns I've had in a while. Be prepared to be patient as they can be busy, but the servers do their best and are super friendly. read more

We hadn't been there for years and decided to check it out after their shut down and remodel. The service was amazing! Coffee kept hot and topped off. Food was fast and accurate. Unfortunately our toast was very dark and the hashbrowns were soggy. My granddaughter loved the pancakes! The ambiance has been retained but is nice and clean and the fish aquarium is still there! read more

Great service! A fun restaurant for families. Food was good, a bit unseasoned but other than that a great experience. read more

Hubby and I had burgers, they were great! Nice and juicy and cooked as requested. Server was attentive and nice! Would go back again! Basically a hometown cafe which is always nice! Prices are reasonable. read more

Friendly people quick service, and excellent food. The waitresses seemed very pleasant yet laid-back and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was just a great quiet diner type atmosphere. I would read it as an old-fashioned, family, friendly restaurant. read more

Coach House is the standard of great food, good price, excellent service! The same in 2025 as was in 1970!!!!! read more

One of our "go to's" when we go out. For breakfast the Suzy's Special with country fried steak with white gravy is excellent! I wish they would switch to shredded hash browns instead of their current ones. Pancakes are excellent but should be larger. The Walleye fillets are horrible though, they look large but it's all over fried breading with the actual fillet of Walleye over cooked and practically non existent. read more

I'm going to say I've never had a chicken fried steak that was better cooked. It was incredibly tender. But nothing was seasoned so it didn't matter. Eggs weren't quite cooked to order but still good. Coffee might have been great but I'll never know because Coffee-Mate is all that they have on the table. Very good and friendly service! read more

I really enjoyed my breakfast here. There is something familiar to this place, even if you've never been before. It's like a little breakfast Cafe right out of a movie. There is a bar where you can sit and have a cup of coffee, and a dining room floor. It has an old fashioned vibe to it. The food was great; better than a franchise breakfast place. So why only 3 stars? The parking is difficult. They were very busy. There were no staff members to sign you in. I had to sign myself in on a notebook. There were no instructions to do so, and I wouldn't have known about it if another guest didn't show me. The staff members were very busy, it wasn't like they weren't trying. It just seemed a little unorganized. When I went to pay, the lady who checked me out seemed so annoyed to be there. She didn't smile, she didn't greet me, she didn't ask how my food was, she didn't thank me for coming in. She was as unpleasant as they come. She asked me how much I was going to tip, instead of just letting me write it on the receipt, and then rolled her eyes when I had to pause for 4 seconds to calculate a tip in my head. read more

The staff here is so nice! We also enjoyed our food. Although it was busy we received our food fairly quickly.

Four of us dined here today for breakfast. Food was good. Waitress did a VERY POOR job. Did not refill drinks and did not listen. This place usually provides good service, but not today! Returned 8/29/22 for breakfast 3 people. Food & service was excellent! read more

Ugh....worst breakfast ever served. It was inedible. Never seen that before. Terrible service and cold and I mean ice cold breakfast that sat in window too long. Over cooked food and forgotten drinks. Sent food back twice and still bad. Never again. Too many other options in Quincy for breakfast. read more

Service was fine. This restaurant caters to its customers - average age over 75. Food was bland. Salad was directly from a bag of grocery store salad mix with two slices of hard-boiled egg on top. Potatoes were instant. Gravy from from a jar/can. If you like this type of food, then this is a good restaurant. If you have a more sophisticated palate, try another restaurant. read more

Didn't expect the coffee to be worth a hoot but was surprised (not the best but better than Cracker Barrel) was busy because a hot rod show in town. I would offer a bit of advice to mgt... The young girls bussing tables should be the one making coffee an refilling cups an not the servers, they seem busy enough. But we will be back the next time we pass thru read more

Set the Wayback Machine for 19 and 65, Mr. Peabody, because that's the last time this place has seen any infusion of capital. However, it's clean and well maintained and the cook delivers a damned tasty omelet. And green tea is unexpectedly on the menu. The service is good, although our server was apparently having a less than brilliant day, and the place is vibrant with many diners. In a word, it's Americana at almost its finest. read more

This is a great breakfast/brunch place!! Waffles, French toast, inlets, eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, and more!!! They continue to fill up your coffee cup which is always a treat!! read more

This restaurant is very comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu offers a variety of breakfast items as we were a group there for brunch (10 AM) - plus lunch and dinner items. The coffee was hot and our mug was always full. The portions were ample. Certainly a great spot to stop for breakfast :) read more

I had Tiara as a waitress, and she was AMAZING!!! Loved her spunky attitude as she worked her butt off!! Definitely will be coming back! I LOVE the Coach House!! read more

The people were very friendly. The service was ok, not real attentive. The food was very bland. Had country fried steak and eggs (my usual at places) it just didn't have much taste. Didn't even finish it. read more

If you're in Quincy and would like to sample where the locals head for breakfast, this is the place. Just good Midwestern breakfast food with quick and friendly service. Maria and I were passing thru and stopped for the evening in Quincy (waiting for the quilt store in Hannibal to open the next day). I had the Susie Special which was good except the slightly chewy chicken fried steak (good flavor and gravy, just needed a couple more passes thru the tenderizer). Maria had the All America which she said was good. Great pancakes! Overall a good choice for breakfast! read more

Not a bad place for breakfast. They have probably the best pancakes in town, but thin syrup. Everything here is pretty good but nothing really stands out as great. The ham steak is my favorite. Quincy natives really enjoy it so their tiny parking lot is usually full. Service is fair. Prices are about $1 high on everything. No biscuits?!? read more

3 1/2 stars. Service is hit and miss. Sometimes excellent, sometimes crap. Some dishes I don't care for, some I love. Most of the food is good overall, definitely improved from years past. Good salad bar but WAY overpriced as an add on to a meal, and no meals include the salad bar. A burger with a salad bar is like $15.00 which is outragous. Some things are priced ok for the amount of food you get, especially the breakfast deals, but the individual items, like sandwiches, are a little high. I'd eat here more if the prices were a little lower. I'd eat here a lot if you could affordably add the salad bar to your meal. read more

We loved this place! The wait was long on a Sunday morning so we sat at the counter. Had to wait for our food but it was well worth it. I have never seen a line prepare and serve so much food so efficiently. The food was great and not very expensive. We were just passing through on a week long road trip up the Mississippi and it was a joy to find this local hit spot. read more

Was here for Labor Day weekend and was looking forward to a great breakfast. Very disappointed. Everything was bland or burnt.

Wonderful breakfast! This is where my grandpa always took our family for breakfast. Lots of good memories. Building is older and outdated, but not sure it would be the same if updated! read more

If you haven't had a home cooked meal from your grandparents lately this is the place to go. Omelets, pork chops, sandwiches just like your at home. No frills place just good old fashioned satisfying meal. read more

My sister and I went here for breakfast yesterday. We had the most delicious meal. She got belgium waffles while I got the french toast. It was hands down the best french toast I've ever had. We ordered cinnamon rolls thinking they'd be normal size. Those were the size of my head. They were huge, needless to say those had to be boxed and brought home. I live really close to the restraunt and can tell this will be a frequent for breakfasts. read more

Went here for the first time today. The place was packed. Our waitress was very helpful, our food was served timely. Great breakfast and a great server, plus very clean restaurant = 5 stars from me! read more

This place isn't bad for breakfast. I've had better and worse. The portions are big though the service tends to be slow. The taco salad is good. Breakfasts are decent... read more

Good service and reasonably priced menu. Nothing fancy about this place but food is good and the service was great.

This was my 4th visit to Coach House and the least pleasant. Ordered a cinnamon roll based on previous experience however this time the roll was cold and had a scoop of cold whipped butter atop. Nothing ooey and gooey about this cinnamon roll. Asked waitress to microwave or heat up and was told it would take a while...really? To microwave for a minute? Ordered the breakfast haystack and my companion ordered ala cart. Received exactly as ordered although bland with a capital B. Gravy on the haystack was like paste and my biscuit base was crunchy. When the waitress came by to check on us we did ask for the cinnamon roll to be heated. Apparently she misunderstood and took the roll away and didn't come back until we asked again and was brought another...yep...cold cinnamon roll. And now the waitress was upset and became snotty and finally slapped the check on the table. Won't be back. It's OK food, service could be a lot better but they lost me with the bad attitude. read more

Went there last night and had the fried chicken the chicken was under cooked now I am sitting in the emergency room sick because of the under cooked food very unperfosinal in the handleing of the situation read more

I grew up going to Coach House and my family works and owns it.. It's always friendly people work hard and food comes out fast even on their busiest days. Not a promo but definitely come here!!! It's great!!!!!! read more

Quincy fave for breakfast. Service is always slow as staff favors their regulars Food quality and quantity is good Menu has not changed/been updated for years read more

Stopped by for lunch. Had basic breakfast food (eggs/pancakes/bacon) which was good. Service was ok and our bill was overcharged. Fortunately we caught it and it was corrected. We will give it another chance and hope for a better experience. read more

The food is bland and very plain the staff is kind though but you go to a restaurant for the food not the service. The cooks need to learn what seasoning is read more

Known for breakfast, the rest of the menu isn't bad either. The food is simple comfort food which tastes real good at 6AM after a long night. The building could use a little updating. read more

A classic breakfast diner. Nothing really exceptional, just good breakfast food. Cheap prices and fair portions.

Great for breakfast, OK for lunch or dinner. They finally added a parking lot to the side of the place, which helped ease congestion. The food is quite good, and some of the servers have been there 20 years or more! Not fancy, but reliable and consistent. read more
