Quincy's Family Steakhouse

Quincy's Family Steakhouse is a buffet steakhouse chain located in the Southeastern United States, formerly based out of Spartanburg, South Carolina. They are best known for their yeast rolls.
Quincy's was founded in Greenville, South Carolina in the early 1970s as Western Family Steakhouse, renamed Quincy's in 1976.https://web.archive.org/web/19990508152218/http://www.quincys.com/news.html It was acquired by Spartan Food Systems, a Hardee's franchisee in South Carolina, in 1977 before being acquired by TransWorld corporation in 1979.
In 1987, Quincy's added yeast rolls to their menu, which became one of their signature items. In 1990, Quincy's introduced a mascot called the "Big-Fat Yeast Roll," which was used in TV ads in the early 1990s. As of 1996, Quincy's operated 199 locations across the Southeastern US and Ohio.
The chain filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the late 1990s; numerous Quincy's locations began closing, dropping below 100 locations in 1998. Western Sizzlin' assumed operation of the remaining Quincy's locations in 2000 before ultimately acquiring the remaining Quincy's locations, with most locations converting to Western Sizzlin' or closing outright; however, three Quincy's locations - Toccoa, Georgia; Monroe, North Carolina; and Florence, South Carolina (which were franchise-owned) - continued operating as Quincy's and remained open following the bankruptcy. The Monroe, NC location sustained fire damage in 2019 and was temporarily closed as a result but was repaired and reopened in 2022. The Toccoa, GA, Quincy's closed in 2021, leaving the Monroe, NC and Florence, SC locations as the lone Quincy's locations remaining.
