I am surprised that Quincy has such a variety of good restaurants, from inexpensive to pricey, from shovel-it-in-home-cooked fare to fancy cuisine, from American standard to ethnic delights.
Some of my favorites:
Busy Bistro--this relatively new place simply has some of the best and most interesting dishes (which Chef Michael calls "New American Cuisine") in the area. Great atmosphere too, with original artwork on the walls (I still want to buy some of those tree watercolors, Kerry!) and much original woodwork from when the place was the Busy Bee store. A little on the upper end of pricing, but not too far out.
Tony's--What can I say? I love the stuffed mushrooms and they make a good pizza (among other things). The decoration is "old attic eclectic" but I can deal with that. Plus it's less than a block from home. :)
Greek to Me--brand new and a worthy replacement for the old Olive and the Gyro House. Gus and his mom have an interesting mix of American and Greek dishes on the menu. Be prepared! There's a LOT of food on those plates! Be sure and order the saganaki. Don't ask why, just do it, and after it's served, yell "opah!"
Let's hear it about other local eateries.

When you feel like Mex., it's hard to beat Hooey's for lunch.
American Food Lovers should try Baywatch--it does, however, have smoking issues.
I can't say enough about one of the oldest restaurants in Quincy, that being the Patio. Second generation owner Mark Neisweinder and staff really attend to your needs and always make me feel welcomed. I have brought a lot of guests from all over the midwest and each has marvelled about dishes they had such as steak, the Patio chop or more recently, the Thursday night pasta bar.
When you enter the Patio, it's a little like entering 'Cheers', Norm!!!!!!!
