Sprout's Inn - Quincy, Illinois

This place has a diverse menu, so there's something for everyone. It tends to appeal to the early bird crowd. I think that's because of the affordable pricing and some homegrown, homemade food options such as turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy, or roast beef with potatoes and gravy, as well as fresh homemade soups every day. But they also make great cocktails and have a decent selection of beers available as well as a variety of fresh homemade pies and foods that will appeal to people of all ages, including some vegetarian options! I'm a fan of the shrimp dinner that comes with three shrimp selections. My favorite appetizer is the fried cheese cubes with ranch dressing for dipping.
We never leave this place hungry. In fact, we almost always have to pack a small box with our leftovers because portion sizes are generous. You definitely get your money's worth when you visit. I've always had good experiences with the waitresses who are attentive and seem to know what they're doing and want to make sure that their customers are happy.
The time between ordering and receiving your food is average and acceptable. I don't feel like we have to wait too long at all. And if you order a soup or salad, that comes out almost immediately for you to enjoy while you're waiting for the rest of the dish to come.
The place feels a little outdated. They should remove the carpet because carpet in restaurants is gross and dirty. But they are always packed full, so people don't seem to mind that it's got a little bit of an old person vibe to it.

Absolutely loved Sprouts! Wonderful, “home town” restaurant with excellent service. We were treated exceptionally well by our server and waitress. Extremely kind staff. The food was fresh, priced well and portioned great! We will definitely be eating here again!

Ordered take out for 16 turkey dinners, arrived to pickup and all was ready and packaged well. They did large containers instead of individual meals which we had approved before hand. Food was delicious, hot, and more than we could all eat! Thank you for a great meal, and service with a smile!

Place looks good on the outside.
The inside was alright
Service sucked waited 10 mins or more to get drink and food order.
Food was terrible it was cold as you can see in my photos didn't eat.
If you like everything smelling and tasting like fish including the fries then have at it.
Waste of money waste of time.
Beware of how it looks on the outside because this place is a JOKE.
I WOULD HAVE HAD BETTER LUCK EATING RAMEN NOODLES.

Order nothing. I got a cheeseburger w bacon. Half pounder, got a hockey puck with bacon that was almost leather, no worries. Easiest thing to please, it failed. Even the bun was hard. No lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or onions. Ordered lattice fries, and got cold regular fries, overcooked. The desserts were just so depressing 😞

It's a bit of a hit or miss here for me. Some dishes are good, and others just average. I know a lot of people like this place, but they need to be more consistent. Example, my roast beef dinner last night by the time it got to me was luke warm at best, but the baked potato was hot. The carrots i asked for were over cooked canned carrots that lost all orange in them. In fact it looked like they had been cooked for years before being served. They didnt tast good at all.

On a positive, wait staff is always very nice, and the restaurant is clean.

Recommend improving quality and consistency of the food.
