Maid-Rite - Quincy, Illinois

Linda S.

We're from the East Coast, and we wanted to experience a Maid-Rite as part of our Great River Road road trip. We chose this location because it's one of the more old-school locations.

For the uninitiated, the original sandwich comes with mustard, onion, and pickle. We got one sandwich with no condiments and one with just mustard and pickle. I thought the mustard overshadowed the seasonings in the beef. Make sure you get a fork--a lot of the meat will spill out of the bun. And save room for pie--we had coconut cream and it was really good.

The place is old but clean. The server at the counter was great--very patient with all my questions. This place does not accept credit cards, and there is no tipping.

This was the most disgusting food I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even eat the sandwich. It was just tasteless slop. The onion rings are something you can get frozen in a bag at the grocery stores. They destroyed the concept of strawberry pie by some type of gelatinous jelly on an overcooked crust!! I’m just shocked anyone would eat this!

The "Sunday Egg Special" is a must have for anyone in the area! The egg was fresh and seasoned to perfection, and I almost bought a second one. I'm not sure how they do it but it sure works!

I really enjoyed the chocolate milk shake. Very popular local restaurant with locals. The cheese rite is unique and you eat it with a fork because the paddy is in pieces.

Flooring looks like Wendy's in the 80s lol, no tipping allowed, cash only, but food is great from an out-of-towner perspective! Loose meat was a new experience for me, but I liked it with cheese, mustard, pickles, and ketchup. My son loved the pulled pork! Worth a stop especially if working on Route 66 nostalgia.

Good food but you can't rely on their hours. One day their open one day their closed. And the owner doesn't accept any kind of debit or credit card. Guess he's that cheap. Who doesn't offer debit card services these days Get w the program!

I'm in Oklahoma City, Quincy is my friends hometown and my wife lived there for stint. One of my brother in laws father had a franchise in Iowa. We love the loose meat with the spices! At some point I will be driving to your town to reminisce with my wife and have it fresh!

Used to eat here years ago. Won't be back. Look at the tenderloin and onion rings, shrimp boat. Pitifull.. don't waste your time or money. Ask for ketchup they give you one dollop ask for a water they give u a shot glass.
