Might have been just a bad day for everybody . We waited to be seated finally got seated after she sat a couple that just walked in the door. They got the booth. We got the table with the flies. The same couple we're leaving had eaten got pie paid and we got served cold food about that time. Soooooo we asked for a manager there was not a manager available, so the upset waitress was left to take care of the situation did not handle it well we will not be back. read more

Won't be going back. We waited for a table, no biggie, then got seated and the waitress took our order and we waited and waited and waited and finally got our food which was cold. We had a salad to begin with and it was fine, but when we said it was cold she said do you want us to re cook it ? It was a tenderloin and egg rolls (no thanks ) I told her we were waiting to speak to a manager and she quipped "I'm probably the manager for today " so we said , we'll pay for the salad and be gone. She said sorry but barely. When she told us the side salad was 5.89 we kind of looked at each other and then she crumpled up the ticket in our face and said "never mind" ! pretty sad for a manager not to be kind to her customers. The place they sat us was by a waitress stand where they put in ticket orders and she kept throwing dishes in the bus bucket and very loudly. We were trying to have a peaceful lunch. Flys in the windows and crap all over the area we had to look at if we would have stayed to eat. Very very disappointed. read more

We came in. Not busy. I ordered chicken. Takes a while to make. She brought chicken and said sorry about your appetizer, it will be out (onion rings) Told them to forget it, Thats why it's an appetizer. My order was wrong..she exchanged and fixed it. Husband's steak was gray, not medium. Took it back, brought one out cold and purple. Sent message and although they read it..no response. This use to be a great place to eat. Not anymore read more

Best ribs I ever had: Fell off the bone. Reasonable prices. Friendly service. I would travel 100 miles through city me here again.

Great food really nice service. It's hard to go anyplace else when we come to Quincy for lunch

Very disappointed with the whole catfish which I found out was river caught. My opinion farm raised is 10 times as good. So I couldn't even eat the catfish however, the chocolate pie was very good. read more

Our dinner was fabulous! I had the Fried Whole Catfish, something hard to find in other parts if the country nowadays. And be sure to save room for dessert. THE STRAWBERRY PIE IS TO DIE FOR! read more

Sprout's Inn - Fried Whole Catfish and beets side dish. - American Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

Sprouts 11/19/22: Last night 19 of us had dinner at Sprouts Restaurant at about 6:30 PM. The food & service was excellent. It is so unusual these days to go out to eat and get a COMPLETE meal (main course, two sides, rolls, crackers, ....) all included in the cost of the one menu item. Simply put an old time restaurant still offering up excellent service, prices, & food. How refreshing! read more

Sprout's is probably one of my favorite places to grab American home cooking in Quincy. Great salads, burgers, steaks, and speciality dinners. The service is always great and the restaurant is always really clean. They have a bigger menu but not so big to where the service suffers. This is probably one of the best family restaurants in Quincy due to the size of menu and quickness of service. read more

Always a Midwestern Delight! Comfort food at its finest. Turkey and dressing with green beans sooo delicious and not expensive. Homemade pies to match the flavorful foods. Coconut cream with meringue, triple berry (black, rasp and blueberry) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream standing at the corner of Wow and Yummm!! read more

I had their special of the day - Chop Suey! So delicious! Just like my mother used to make. My friends had their wonderful salads. Others had the sandwich special and pie. We all love their pie! This restaurant is always busy, because it is that good. Excellent service as well! read more

If you like eclectic super delicious food, this isn't your place. Just run of the mill. Nothing special.

We ate here after church on a Sunday morning. I'm so glad we made reservations ahead of time! In spite of being so busy they had our meals out in a timely manner! I had biscuits and gravy. Delicious! One of my boys had an omelet. He loves omelets and has had many and thought this one was perfect! My other boy had chocolate chip pancakes. He ordered too many but ate them all because they were so good! I highly recommend Sprouts! read more

We just happened to Yelp this restaurant and we had a great experience. Long time history of good food.

It was beyond awful! My family and I went there for dinner and had to wait And hour Just to order and another 45 minutes just to get our food dont even get me started in the food I got the tenderloin and coleslaw and it was awful The tenderloin had no flavor and I couldn't even eat the coleslaw without coughing because of the overwhelming vinegar flavor. My family also got their food and every single one of them were unimpressed and for the price it was unbelievable. I definitely won't be back! read more

Sprouts used to have the best fried chicken in the city. Friday night was the worst. So over cooked when you took a bite it shattered. Also lattice fries was cold, not cooked, laying in grease. This was terrible. 3 other meals were just ok. Not the Sprouts we are use to. Won't be back.. read more

Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff. I love all of the varieties of food on the menu.

A great place to eat. A quincy tridition. The only thing that would make sprout better is faster. Sometimes it is hard to eat lunch in a hour luch time. Over all a great place to relax and eat. great menu alot of options. read more

For me, Sprouts and Quincy are one and the same. Whenever I'm in the city I make sure to drop in and soak up the atmosphere and good, unpretentious food. The often dimly lit dining rooms are invariably filled with a mix of families and seniors, people for whom dinner at Sprouts is like breathing. Though the building has experienced a face-lift in the past years, including the construction of a very nice patio, the comforting sameness of Sprouts has not been materially threatened. A meal at Sprouts is guaranteed to be very NICE. The food, of course, is thoroughly pleasant. Personal favorites include the extremely juicy fried chicken, smothered hamburg steak, and of course the roast beef and turkey and dressing specials. Prime rib, served on Friday and Saturday is also worthwhile. The soups tend to be good, especially the chicken rice. Pies can vary in quality, but the French Silk chocolate pie is always a decadent end to a meal. Steer clear of any entrees that try to be fancy, like the too salty stir fry. Do try the home made onion rings, though. read more

A really awesome restaurant. :) The management and employees are great. The service that they provide is spot on true. Sprouts is one of the best restaurants in Quincy, Il. Many thanks. I'm a regular customer; my name is Jack Shelton. Jr. ( a proud Quincyian ) I hughly recommend Sprouts Inn restaurant to everyone....... read more

Waited 20 minutes for our table, was seated then waited 15 minutes until our waitress asked for our drink order. It took 55 minutes for our food to arrive at the table. Lattice fries were overcooked and hamburger steak was undercooked, had to send it back and wait another 15 minutes (rest of the table had finished eating). Waitress was pleasant and nice. But not a good overall experience. read more

Sprout's Inn - Good Ceasar salad! - American Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

Nice atmosphere, clean restaurant. There was nothing fresh about the sautés. They looked and tasted like they were previously frozen veggies from a bag with plain salty soy sauce on them. Nothing that looked fresh or sizzling, and the rice was so bland and basic. Everything at this place was super basic, nothing unique. Just look at all the photos, they're super generic boring, and fried foods. I prefer to go out and get a good meal, not boring and basic. I won't be going back. read more

Good side salads, breakfast, catfish, fried chicken and all sorts of goodies. Service is usually good too. Although the new set up is similar to a retirement home, it's clean and updated! I'm not a dessert person but know people come here specifically for homemade pies. Takeout is always good too! read more

Sprout's Inn - Bar area - American Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

This place has basic food. No frills. If you just want plain food nothing gourmet then this is the place for you. Very much like a diner. Cheerful atmosphere. We had a nice office Christmas party there one year. read more

I had been told that this place is always good. Well I guess not on Saturday nights. 2 out of our group ordered the prime rib. I don't know how long it took to get from the kitchen to the table but both of ours was cold cold cold. The service was somewhat less than par. First why would you need to ask another server for silverware? We had to ask to get our glasses refilled, and I thought it was customary for the server to come back after you get your food to make sure everything is good. Not. Right now I wish I had of got a gas station sandwich at least I would know what I was in for. read more

Had dinner at Sprout's Inn with my father while out in the Quincy area for a family reunion. The fried mushroom and onion ring appetizers were amazing, as were the perfectly cut and prepared rib-eye steaks. The other reviewers giving this restaurant praise were spot on. A very friendly and efficient staff as well. This really IS a Quincy institution and recognized as such. It's so good, we plan to be back for breakfast tomorrow and maybe even for dinner again! There are so few locally-owned, family restaurants serving traditional American food like this anymore in bigger cities. It is refreshing to come across one like this while traveling! read more

Awful experience. We were here with a larger group, but tables were divided by waitresses so service should have not been as big of a problem as it was! Our servers constantly forgot to bring orders out, not even water was remembered. We only ordered apps bc service was taking too long. The spinach artichoke dip tasted like it was from a can, and the nachos were nothing special. Needless to say when we travel back to Quincy to visit family, we will NOT be visiting Sprouts. read more

Disappointed and shocked! Dined with my daughter and 4 other ladies; my daughter's first plate had a hair in it, and the waitress said she would bring her something else. She was brought the wrong item and we were told they would not take it off the bill! She left hungry and I paid $13.00 for food that wasn't eaten. The manager even questioned the hair we found! Horrible and I will never return!! read more

I'd only been to the old Sprout's once, and that was years ago. What stood out, in addition to the classic Americana cuisine, was the atmosphere. The new Sprout's has the same great food, but I have to admit, the atmosphere feels like a nursing home cafeteria. Drab neutral colors, sparse walls... I hope, in time, that all changes. I love the onion rings, though! read more

Fantastic biscuits and gravy! We weren't sure about visiting this place after reading the reviews. I'm glad we gave it a shot. The main seating area consists of booths and tables, decorated in a green and cream color scheme with dark woods. It's much like any other contemporary cafe you'd visit -- certainly not like a nursing home. I did see a larger banquet room on the left, which had longer tables and banquet chairs -- perhaps that is what an earlier reviewer was complaining about. We had menus and some excellent coffee within minutes of arrival. There's a nice selection of items for breakfast, and some of the specialty omelets sounded delicious. Biscuits and gravy are our weakness, though, so we each ordered that along with bacon, sausage, eggs, and hashbrowns. The scrambled eggs were perfect (not that wet goopy mess you often get in diners), the bacon was crisp, and the hash browns were crispy-golden on the outside and tender on the inside. But the the biscuits and gravy! They were the best we've had in a long time, and the serving of gravy was generous -- not that miserly dollop that often passes for a serving. It's clear the restaurant has many regulars, but their arrival did not herald any decline in the attentiveness of our waitress. If you're considering this restaurant and the other reviews give you pause, I encourage you to give them a shot. We're glad we did. read more

Food not real consistent, husband had prime rib New Year's Eve was great, ordered again Valentines and it was horrible. I told him to complain but he didn't. K read more

Can be hit and miss with the food, depending on what you order. Fried chicken? Very good, very consistent. Alfredo? Bland. Kinda pricey. Service is usually friendly but often not very on top of things. Prepare to ask for everything you need. The servers always seem to be scurrying. read more

Overall pretty good. They have great turkey and dressing dinner and an awesome breakfast

The fried clams dinner was great with a cessar salad and fries! And the service was great too!

Sprout's is a great place for a family gathering. There is delicious food and wonderful service. Their pie is a must! The waitresses are very friendly and are always willing to help in any situation. Great prices and a great experience! read more

Great home made food. Prepare to wait a bit its a busy place. Waitress/Waiters are very helpful and prices are fair. read more

Food is hit or miss. Service is inconsistent --- they don't move with a sense of urgency at Sprouts (regardless of how busy they are). After today and needing to return 3 separate times due to a butchered small lunch order, I will not be back. (See pictures of first burnt order of fries and SECOND burnt order). read more

Sprout's Inn - Burnt lattice fries. We returned after they forgot half of our take-out order and requested a new order of fries... Bad. - American Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

Great fried chicken!!! Wish they delivered! Bet they would increase there business considerably!

Good food-comfortable place to eat. I have never seen it empty. Every time I have been there to eat, I have either made a reservation or shown up with a very small group to get in right away. Love the desserts! read more

Our favorite restaurant. Best breakfast choices in town. Best roast beef around. We don't do dinner much mostly breakfast and lunch and this is our first choice. Has enough menu options to make anybody happy and daily specials plus miscellaneous specials for something different. read more
