The Coach House — Restaurant in Quincy

I've had many good BREAKFASTS at this place over the years. That being said, this review is about a recent experience, which was not good. I was coming into Quincy and ordered two meals for carry out. I ordered two identical dinners: lemon pepper grilled catfish fillet with mashed potatoes ( I ordered with no gravy to keep it healthy) and carrots. The menu online -- the one I was ordering from -- said each dinner was $11.20. Two at $11.20 each plus tax meant my order would be around $25.00 The girl who took my order over the phone and who waited on me once I arrived was polite, kind, helpful, etc. Thus the 5 stars for service.

However.....My bill was a little more than $35, not $25. The potatoes were very, very bland. The carrots, although tasty, came in a small container usually used for dipping sauce, so extremely small portions!! The fish - only one little fillet - looked and tasted like it had just been thawed in a microwave: no lemon pepper tasted, no evidence whatsoever that it had been grilled, and like the potatoes, very, very bland. No dinner roll ( none was advertised or promised). For over $35!!!! Was hardly enough to satisfy and left me feeling like I would never return to the Quincy Coach House . I also felt I had been cheated --- paying $35 for two $11.20. Softy me did tip the girl because she did her part well. I feel like I should get a reimbursement or a $35 credit, although I didn't complain as I was heading to Tennessee later that day and didn't have time to...

We ate there last night and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. I gave them two stars only because of our waitress; she was awesome! The kids were happy with what they got but I ordered the chicken fried chicken. It was completely inedible. I ate my toast and eggs, took my hash browns home. But the first bite of what I was craving for was sour...almost tasted fishy. And I told the waitress; 3 bites of it was all I could tolerate. She offered to bring me something else or pie. I politely declined as I was now sick to my stomach. When I went to pay, the owner did not only NOT apologize; he tried to make excuses. He also did not even offer to take a portion of my meal off or offer a discount for future business. I expected to pay at least half for my meal, but the main course went back to the kitchen. You would think with Village Inn and I-Hop being formidable competition, the owner would want to keep his customers happy and coming back. As for our waitress; As I put the tip on the table-20%, I told her she was delightful but that we would...

We got the Thursday deal, fried chicken with a side plus the soup & salad bar. 🥗 When the new owners first started, they had removed the hot meats from the salad bar. They have now replaced them. 😋 The last I had heard, they also stopped the salad bar on Sundays, I don't go on Sundays now, as I always enjoy their salads. They also close at 4 on Sundays. Insufficient folks that have a desire to work. Really sad ethics in our America. Enough politics 🙄. We also had the sweet potatoes. It's hard to go wrong with those. And they were big, they got their own plate! We added dessert to our order. I had pecan pie, and my wife had coconut cream. Both were good. The chicken was hot 🔥 it burned the fuzz off my tongue. To me, that is great. I dislike barely warm food, I can always wait a bit to eat while it cools. And we took some of that chicken home. It sounds like breakfast to me! The waitress was friendly and helpful. This place has been around for years. It is one of Quincy's great...
