Quincy Food & Fun
Locally owned since the 1970s: steaks, pizza, and everything in between.
The Abbey
A Quincy institution since 1974, The Abbey has been serving hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and comfort classics for over 50 years. The atmosphere is warm and familiar: six TVs, a full bar stocked with craft beers and handcrafted cocktails, and a menu that runs from famous baby back ribs to homemade desserts. Whether it’s date night or game night, The Abbey feels like home.

Kelly’s Tavern
Opened in 1982 as Quincy’s first Irish pub, Kelly’s has been packing tables ever since. The draw? Food made from scratch, hand-cut, hand-battered, hands-on. Come for Quincy’s finest all-you-can-eat salad bar featuring legendary homemade cheese soup and fresh-baked cinnamon rolls. Stay for steaks, catfish, ribs, and the kind of casual, upbeat atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a regular’s welcome.

Tower of Pizza
Since 1977, Tower of Pizza has been Quincy’s go-to for thick or thin scratch-made pizza alongside a full lineup of Mexican favorites: sizzling fajitas, chimichangas, burritos, and more. The dough is made fresh daily, the ingredients are hand-selected, and the portions are generous. With a drive-thru window and full delivery, it’s the easiest great meal in town.

Gem City Pizzeria & Mexican
Serving Quincy since 1971, Gem City is the oldest pizzeria in town and still one of the best. Homemade dough, signature sauce, and specialty pies sit alongside a full menu of Tex-Mex favorites: stuffed chicken fajitas, enchiladas, tamales, taco salads, and more. Open Tuesday through Sunday for dine-in, carryout, or delivery. A local staple that keeps generations of Quincy families coming back.
