Spaghetti with meat sauce, cabbage, Lima beans and pecan pie

Still the best value and most nutritious meal you can get in Baton Rouge for an affordable price. Okay, so I'm old. When I was a teenager and young adult there were several cafeterias successfully operating in the greater New Orleans area where I lived at the time. A&G cafeteria and Piccadilly or the two primary ones that come to mind but I know there were others as well in some parts of the city. As someone who likes to eat out without spending too much money, and often dining alone, I crave a balanced meal with REAL vegetables (no in my opinion potatoes do not count as they are mostly carbs and starch)... I really enjoy a cafeteria setup where you have options and know you can always count on them having several choices of healthy vegetables not drowning in sauce or butter. If you decide to try the Piccadilly cafeteria based on this review keep in mind timing is everything. Although they are open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 7 days a week excluding legal holidays, the best time to go for the freshest options on a steam line is around lunch time or dinner time. Like any other restaurant they want to minimize food waste, and although the types of items they serve keep fairly well on a steam line for a while... It's not as appetizing when you're viewing the line to choose your selection if the food item has been there for over an hour. Although the prices have gone up at the Piccadilly, so have prices everywhere else and the Piccadilly is still by far the best value for the money considering all that you get. I usually go to the Piccadilly cafeteria on Sherwood Forest as that is the one closest to me, but I'll occasionally stop at the one on Florida Boulevard too. Both restaurants are VERY dated in decor and could definitely use a renovation. However, the staff do a very good job keeping the facilities clean which is no easy feat when furniture and carpet are old. The wait staff are very attentive. As with most wait staff they are dependent on giving good service in order to get tips and make a living wage. I really appreciate the waitresses checking in a couple of times during the meal just in case I'd forgotten to ask for something. They do it in a friendly and non-intrusive way not two interrupt your meal but still make sure that you're not lacking for a sauce, or cup of coffee to finish your meal. It's sad to me that every time I go to the Piccadilly I almost always see people that are 50 plus years old. It's rare to see anyone in their 20s or 30s eating there. I think the younger generation could take a page from our old book and appreciate a well-balanced home cook styled meal without having to depend on all the razzle dazzle decor that newer restaurants offer for higher prices. It's not uncommon for me to go there to dine in for lunch or dinner, and because the food is filling and nutritious I often take nearly half of it home to eat the following day. That stretches my dollars even more. Yes, it's true that Piccadilly does not serve any alcohol. So I get that for some patrons seeking a place to eat, especially in the evening that's a mark against them since many younger patrons would like a beer or glass of wine or cocktail with their meal. But, a good well balanced meal for a fair price without an alcoholic a drink accompanying could be considered by the young crowd as a healthy alternative as well.

No sauce and dry Like a desert

I used to love the food here but today it was garbage. As you can the Mac n cheese had absolutely no sauce it was plain dry elbow macaroni. I couldn't even eat it. I also got a chicken fried steak with cram gravy and although the gravy tasted good the steak itself was almost absent because it was all breading. The place looked like a ghost town inside like there was 3 other tables of people eating . I guess the news of the crappy food has spread. I won't be back.

Fried fish with hot sauce/ potatoes

The food is always good and fresh. There isn't a long wait and the staff is always nice. The restaurant is clean overall. I recommend Piccadilly if you're looking for a close to home cook meal.

We found this place by following the signs for food off the highway. We were hungry and cranky and had been on the road forever! So despite having a craving for fried chicken, we just wanted to find the fastest place to eat and get the rest of the trip over with! I guess we got fed up with the car at the right time because the signs off the highway listed a lot of food options. One of those places was called Piccadilly and we figured, what the hell, let's try something new. We don't have a Piccadilly where we live, or any chain like it, so we had no idea it was a cafeteria. We entered, and it still wasn't obvious- kind of upscale decor for a cafeteria. I mean, I have been to a Luby's once, about 20 years ago, and it didn't look anything like this... We finally found the line and signs and it all became clear. It seems like a good concept! I do wish they would have some helpful signage closer to the entrance though. There are a lot of places to veer off before you get to the line itself. $8.99 will get you an entree of your choice with two sides and bread. Drinks and desserts are separate. Side portions are a little small, but entree portions are large. Considering the array of options and how little time is involved in getting your meal, it's a better deal than your average lunch place. They had a variety of dishes including salmon, shrimp, meatloaf, roast beef, steak, roasted chicken and... fried chicken! There were others of course, but I was too excited about the huge, juicy pieces of fried chicken to tell you any of the others. A majority of it is comfort food, which is my jam, so I am pretty sure I would have been just as happy had I not been craving fried chicken. I ended up with two big pieces of fried chicken, a side of mac & cheese, a side of broccoli rice casserole and a dinner roll. My sweet tea was around $2 and I can't exactly recall, but the desserts seemed to range $3-4. Yeah, couldn't help myself, got some yellow cake with chocolate frosting! The place was crowded, but we found a table pretty easily and Rene was the server for our section. She was very efficient and helpful and kept us supplied with napkins. The volume was a little louder than I prefer when dining in somewhere, but it was manageable. The portions were really good for the price, I barely finished more than half of mine. The quality of everything was a little above average. My chicken was tasty and my mac was cheesy, and you have to be a little evil to not enjoy chocolate frosting. This was actually better than I expected for the price we paid and the cafeteria style setting. They did a good job of keeping everything hot without drying it out and everything tasted pretty good. I like variety, so to me the biggest appeal is that you get a big selection that is ready immediately and it doesn't affect your price. The friendly service and big portions don't hurt either. I also like that they are smart enough to separate their to go orders so it doesn't bog the line down. Towards the back of the building they have a Piccadilly Express entrance that has no seating and a smaller line of options, so you can get in and out immediately. Overall good spot to check out for a quick lunch at a good price, especially if you like comfort food!

Lunch time (to-go order)
Matthew B.

Only the Piccadilly Express side was open during lunch (COVID-19). The female asked for my order but quickly ignored me to speak with a co-worker instead. The Southern Fried Catfish was a large portion and pretty tasty. I doubt the crawfish in the etouffee is Louisiana crawfish but I'm not positive. Mac n cheese is good. Their online ordering system needs improvement.

Baked chicken with Mac/cheese and green beans delivered by waiter. Terrible!
Debbie J.

Ordered baked chicken white meat, with Mac and cheese, and green beans. When did they start putting cooked tomatoes on top of the baked chicken?? Soggy and over cooked. Green beans salty and Mac and cheese had bean juice in it by the time I got it so it was yucky too! What a waste of money!

They have been featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" and have the pictures with Guy Fieri prominently displayed to prove it. The interior is eclectic, which is comforting. While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice. One can always get coleslaw and beans if you are a fan of the classics. They even have desserts, if one has any room left for them. I rarely do...

The bbq salmon is good if you like more of a sweet salmon taste. I subbed the corn for mashed potatoes. The crawfish dip was mostly good it just didn't have a lot of crawfish in it. I also tried the brisket burger and it was externally yummy! Overall it's pretty good. The drinks are well priced, the food is maybe slightlyyyy pricey for what you get but great experience and nothing I batted an eye at. Cute little rustic vibe in the inside. I would go again

We had some running around to do and decided to stop there for a quick lunch. Splitting a burger was the plan but who can pass up their Crawfish and Brie Queso?!? Emma F was fabulous as our wait person and never let our tea glasses get more than half empty. Also, when we told her we were splitting the burger she made sure it was done for us and served on two plates. Excellent service from an obvious professional. We love both City Pork locations however, there is something about the ambiance of the Jefferson location. It is both quaint and not pretentious so you can feel comfortable in everything from workout clothes to date night apparel.

The crawfish were flavorful, seasoned well, and priced right, which is honestly the perfect combination when you're sitting down ready to eat. They had that messy, not really spicy, addictive quality that keeps you reaching for "just one more" until the tray is empty. I also tried the buffalo wings. They weren't that great, if I'm being honest, but I was hungry so they got the job done. The crawfish are clearly the star of the show here anyway. The atmosphere felt relaxed and unpretentious, exactly the kind of place you want for seafood with friends, cold drinks, and a table full of shells piling up by the minute. If you're wondering whether I'll be back, I already have.

I guess I was expecting my shrimp would be covered in cajun sauce but it came plane with cajon seasoning and a dipping sauce on the side. We also tried frog legs which was tasty.

It felt like home, people having pleasant conversations We were lucky it was Monday and the shrimp was the special of the day.
