Quincy’s Uptown Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Maryland

I honestly have no words for this establishment. (Yes I do.)

Absolute bafoonery. How do you even manage to give an eleven-year-old diarrhea and constipation at the same time...? This is beyond ridiculous.

Me, my aunt, my best friend, my cousin, and my uncle, all walked three miles on a trail in the soggy, humid weather. The bus was no longer running so we decided to walk, thinking it'd be fun, it was not. This has nothing to do with the actual restaurant because it was OUR choice to walk this far, but this just foreshadows how dissapointed we were after all the effort just to get to this place. We got to the restaurant and it felt like finally discovering water after a marathon, ran in the Mojave Desert during peak heat in mid-july. We were visibly exhausted from what felt like an expedition across the country, Manifest Destiny, if you will.

We sat down at this extremely uncomfortable table, but it was better than hiking in the heat, so it wasn't anything too serious. The entire table was sticky, with glass residue rings everywhere. We got our drinks and my shirley temple was agressively concentrated, as if it were 90% syrup and 10% soda, rather than vice versa, which was how it were supposed to be.

If you have a loved one who is autistic or has sensory issues, and you love them at all whatsoever, on a human level; Do NOT bring them here. I almost hid in my shirt and cried; the sound level was just insane, I have no words.

We got our food and the fries were soggy beyond repair, and they charged $4 extra for them when they "came with the meal"...? I would understand it if was an ACTUAL helping of fries but it was a good two handfuls, if it were a seven-year-old's hands serving them, which is a whole other conversation about child labor. The chicken tenders, (and you won't believe me when I say this) were way too crispy, you can taste the burnedness on the batter, and the mac and cheese was quite frankly just Bob Evans pre-packaged mac and cheese, but heated beyond recognition, served in an ugly, white ramiken, and priced at $5.99 a cup.

This was only MY food that I just reviewed, my aunts fish had no flavor whatsoever, but apparently she didn't mind. The pickles on my cousin's burger tasted "non-existent" and the only things that she could taste were the onions and the lettuce. My uncle was genuinely speechless about his food, whether this is a negative or positive type of speechlessness, I don't know, hence I couldn't get any information about it. My friend got the same thing as I did, so she had the same exact complaint.

I'm going to have to make an entire paragraph about the funnel cake fries: I don't know what type of funnel cakes the employees here are eating, but I have never had a "funnel cake" fry so ridiculously crunchy and hard, to the point that it was dark brown. They seriously just dumped all of the powdered sugar on one spot of the dish. They were agressively greasy and never in my life have I had something so stupidly deep fried; I swear they just put them in the fryer and went on break.

Mind you, we saved them in a to-go box, in a hope that they would somehow magically become better in the morning. I opened them up in the morning; Imagine my surpise when I get absolutely bombarded in the face with the scent of week-old Crisco.

We figured that these "funnel cake fries" were the reason of my aunt vomiting at 4 AM, my, my friend's, and my uncle's stomach issues the next day and up until now, and the reason that my poor cousin ended up being constipated and having diarrhea at the same time. How this was possible, I've not a clue, but you've done your big one, Quincy's.

We paid near $130 to deal with the sounds of riled-up men, confused waitresses who looked like they don't have a say in whether they work there or not, and an agressively deep-fried fiasco, just to get food poisoning and...

Not ready for prime time. Went to Quincy’s Uptown with my family on Friday night for dinner. The place was busy and he bar was full. The waitstaff was friendly. They took reservations, which was nice. We’ve been looking forward to trying this new restaurant. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed.

The acoustics were awful. We sat at a 4-top against the wall, but were unable to have a conversation. The poor server could barely hear what we were saying to her and initially got my son’s drink order wrong. It got worse when they turned on the music. Acoustic tiling on some of the bare walls and dropped from the high ceilings may help.

Then, we ordered. It took FOREVER to get our food. The server was attentive and apologized for the backup in the kitchen. She brought ketchup to the table and asked if we wanted other basics like salt and pepper. We thought it odd that that wasn’t on the table and we had to be asked. We also had to ask for silverware when the food arrived. I am pretty sure the person we asked was the owner or manager, but when she returned, she only left silverware for my husband and me, walking away without giving some to my two adult sons. Granted, what they ordered did not require silverware, but that was the only way they could get a napkin. So when she came back, I then asked her for napkins.

Back to the food...it was pricey...and mediocre. I had the fish and chips, which came out cold initially. My husband had them take it back to heat up. It was pretty good, but hard to eat positioned on a mountain of lukewarm fries on a plate that was too small. I had to remind them that coleslaw was included. The fish was pretty good, flaky and well seasoned. My son had a burger. It was over cooked and just “ok,” as we’re the tater tots. My other son had a white pizza on flatbread with grilled chicken that he said was pretty good. It looked good to me! My husband got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, well after the rest of us we’re served, which he claimed was pretty good. He thought it was a little odd that they served his side salad on the same plate as the sandwich, with his side of tater tots on a separate plate, rather than the other way around.

Also, aside from a plain Caesar or house salad, there doesn’t seem to be any vegetarian options on the menu.

I know it’s a new place and we would consider giving it another try, but even if they improve the food and streamline the service, the price and inability to have a conversation at the table will probably keep us from...

I have been to Quincy's in Gaithersburg many times and we are huge fans of it. Have gone to Damascus twice and had horrible experiences both times. This last time was so bad I don't think i will be going back. Our food took about an hour to come out with some of it of course being wrong. My 2 year old was stung by a bee inside the restaurant. On top of that my mother in law has Celiacs so i called ahead to find out about gluten fee options and was told there were plenty only to get there and be told "we can make anything gluten free" The manager said she can have french fries and friend chicken, well this is just dangerous. No chance in hell she can eat fried chicken. So, clearly they didn't know and therefore shouldn't act as though they do because people could get very sick!! The worst part was we asked to speak to the manger twice after the food came out wrong after an hour and my son was stung and he never showed up. No apology from anyone. We had the same waitress both times and she is just terrible. This place needs new management. When a 2 year old gets stung in your restaurant the least you can do is come over and say sorry and make sure he is ok. When food takes over an hour to come out SOMEONE should apologize for the wait. I can be patient if a business acts like they...
