Sprout's Inn

"We went with our entire church today, and the food and service were excellent. We were served buffet style."

"We recently hosted a gathering at Sprouts Inn in Quincy, IL, reserving their banquet hall for a group of 40 people. While the food and service were satisfactory, the overall experience was marred by poor management and unexpected pricing discrepancies. Upon departure, we were handed a bill that differed significantly from what we had agreed upon during the reservation process. We were under the impression that we had secured the banquet hall and food at a rate of $12.99 per person, totaling $519.60 before tax. To our dismay, the bill presented was calculated at $18.00 per head, amounting to $720 before tax. When we brought this to the attention of the staff, we were met with dismissive and unhelpful responses from the manager. The manager insisted that they would never have quoted such a rate. Excuses ranged from blaming website errors to our own technology issues, leaving us frustrated and without a resolution. Despite offering to compromise and meet halfway at $14 or $16 per head, we were met with a stubborn refusal and a lack of willingness to rectify the situation. The owner, whom we were told was handling the matter, simply stated, "You aren't getting a discount no matter what." Upon further investigation, we discovered that the Sprouts Inn website displayed conflicting banquet prices, ranging from $16 to as low as $12.99 per head. This inconsistency, coupled with the uncooperative attitude of the management, led us to question the integrity of their pricing and overall business practices. The refusal to address the pricing issue and the lack of transparency regarding menu prices is deeply concerning. It is disheartening to see a business prioritize their profits over customer satisfaction and fairness. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Sprouts Inn for any catering, banquet, or food-related needs. The management's handling of our situation, coupled with misleading pricing on their website, has left a lasting negative impression. I feel compelled to share this experience and have reported the false advertising to the Better Business Bureau to ensure that others are aware of the potential issues they may encounter. Save yourself the time, money, and effort – look elsewhere for your dining and event needs."

"We don't normally go here but it was close. I had a great meal. Home cooked feel and great flavor. I had soup to go with my meal and it was very flavorful. The waitress was very friendly and on top of our drinks as well as everyone else's in the room. Prices were reasonable for Quincy. I liked the atmosphere and plan to return again."

"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."

"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!"
