Hey there fellow hungry travelers, Mark here with Wolders Wolves
0:02
Hey, we're in Quincy, Illinois, my hometown. And today we're going to talk about what you should eat when you come to Quincy
0:07
And we got to start here at Made Right. If you like your loose meat sandwiches or sloppy joe without the sloppy liquid stuff inside
0:15
this is the place for you. And when you go in, if you want to get a Made Right, you can get it with everything
0:19
which with chopped onions, figgles, and mustard. You don't put ketchup on a Made Right, people
0:24
That would turn into a sloppy joe. But you go in, it is an institution here, though I will tell you
0:28
don't forget to bring cash if you don't have cash don't worry there's an ATM inside but made right
0:33
you got to get a made right when you're here get some fries root beer what can you get what can go
0:37
wrong a sundae as well but this is one of those things that is truly Quincy but the loose meat
0:42
sandwiches that are there the made rights that are there people do like them but for me if I want a
0:46
burger I want to go get the best burger in Quincy and that's at is right across the street here at
0:51
this scoreboard yes the best cheeseburger in town is at the scoreboard for me this is probably the
0:56
place if you come to Quincy it's a Friday night I'm probably with my parents and my kids on a visit
1:01
grabbing a cheeseburger and fries this is the place to be all the bar food you ever wanted
1:05
this is the place to go in Quincy now the thing is Quincy is famous for having bars all over town
1:10
so you're looking for a drink you can find a bar anywhere and I bet you there'll be a few bar grill
1:14
kind of places that might show up on this list but for me the best cheeseburger in town is right here
1:19
at the scoreboard now another Quincy's institution is Kelly's when you go there there's two things
1:24
are probably the most popular kind of local treats one you get the cheese soup it's a very thick
1:31
think almost like you're eating nacho cheese soup it's pretty thick it's got some fortification in
1:37
there but that one thing the other thing you want to get when you there are the cinnamon rolls that is one thing that a lot of people go for just to get that Yes you can grab their salad bar as well So that another really popular place here in Quincy
1:53
Now, our next Quincy institution, if you're looking for beer with your buddies and some pizza
1:59
Tower Pizza in Mexican is the place to go. And when you go there, you want to get the Jeff's special
2:04
Here's a little Quincy hint. We love extra sauce on our pizza
2:09
And Jeff's special. You're going to have extra sauce. You're going to have ham. You're going to have sausage
2:13
You're going to have mushrooms on it. That's kind of like their pizza here
2:17
And yes, you can get a Jim City Pizzeria as well. But you have that here. Get your pictures of beer
2:21
My mom, she goes for the chicken nachos. But this is one of the most popular places in town
2:26
So do be aware of that when you're thinking of your parking when you're going to go. But yeah, Tower Pizza, that's where we meet our buddies for beers and some pizza
2:33
It's a good thing to have when you're here. Now if the line at the tower is too long or you don't want to go on Broadway, there is also Jim City Pizza Room in Mexican
2:40
Similar menu. Also the Jeff's Special Pizzas there. This is the place that actually when I was a kid, this is our go-to Friday night thing before I went to Scoreboard and the bars kind of stuff
2:50
But this is like our family place to go. So go get your free chips and salsa
2:53
Go have some decent pizza and some, I would call it more Tex-Mex than I would Mexican food
2:58
But it still is a fun place to go. now next up we're here on the river and actually what we're talking about on the river is chicks
3:11
on the river if you're into the chicken finger craze they've got fantastic chicken lips yes
3:18
chicken lips they chicken tenders but they really greatly breaded chicken tenders they put them in sauce if you want or not want i mean it really really good also their barbecue chicken pizza really good This is Caleb go place when you come and visit He like hey can we go to Chick River Yeah So if you are here this is what I
3:34
do recommend going to, especially if you got kids because of chicken finger stuff. Who doesn't like
3:38
chicken fingers? Y'all are old. You can't beat it. Or I should say chicken lips. Now, if you're
3:43
looking for something sweet when you come to Quincy, Underbrink's Bakery is the place to go
3:47
They have all kinds of baked goods, whether you want cookies, you want cakes, you want like little danishes
3:53
There's so many good things there. But my favorite are the angel food cupcakes
3:58
They have a little ice, a little flour on top. They're fantastic. My mom used to send them to me when I lived in Lithuania
4:04
They would make it there and they still taste fantastic. So every time we come back, birthday, any kind of celebration, we come here and get their cupcakes
4:12
And you can't go wrong. But that is one Quincy thing you want to go and find
4:16
if you're not sure where it is it's on college and 18 so it's easy to get to so go to underbring's
4:21
and please get the angel food cupcakes for me okay now as much as i love going to underbring's
4:26
on 17th and college i gotta tell you if you want to get donuts it's a relatively newer place in the
4:32
history of quincy eateries but yummy's donut palace they have the best donuts in town so and
4:37
