Waffle House, the Silver Skillet, Java Jive, and Meat and Threes Are Southern-Style Diners | Eater Atlanta

"I cite Piccadilly as an example of a Southern cafeteria that fits the broader idea of a diner in the South — familiar, affordable, and part of daily life for many." - Beth McKibben

I’m from out of state and eat hear every year . The food is always great and usually the customer service is also . I don’t think Ive ever been so mad at a situation in a restaurant before . Someone was having a medical emergency in the back of the restaurant and your manager Phillys was a complete disgrace !! she literally had no compassion at all and was walking up and down saying this isn’t my liability. We should be more worried about getting someone help than worried about liability!! She is an absolute disgrace and shouldn’t have a job !!! I’ll give her the same compassion that she gave someone having a heart attack !! She shouldn’t even be allowed to clean your toilets much less be a manager !!!

Anytime I’m visiting my hometown, I stop at Piccadilly on Clearview Parkway. Piccadilly is a wonderful reminder of my childhood. The food is always delicious and the employees are always pleasant and personable.

The food is still fairly decent but a far cry from what it was decades ago. I was a regular back in the day when there were multiple choices for dessert. Would love to see the Piccadilly pecan delight come back as well as chocolate chess pie. Nothing but tasteless layer cake w/ skimpy icing. They still have good bread choices but don't expect butter. The whipped spread is nasty! Does real butter cost that much? Even IHOP serves real butter. On this visit I noticed how much the place needs remodeling. In the meantime it could use a deep cleaning, seriously!

Sunday 11-29-2020 late lunch. While coming down Clearview we seen the sign Piccadilly decided to stop. I have never been to this location before. Everyone that was in line serving the food was so polite and helpful. The food was way more than what I expected as far as the way it taste. Our waitress was Kat. She was so professional, polite, attentive and helpful. I would definitely return to this location great job. I wrote about 200 reviews so far and out of all of my reviews I very rarely give a five star. Well deserved.

It's been years since I ate at Piccadilly since they don't have one in my city but when I was in New Orleans for an appt, I wanted some great comfort food and everything was the same as I remember. Catfish is always excellent. You can't go wrong with that. They've got a great salad line and desserts 🍨 There is something for everyone! I had the Catfish, Lima beans, oh, and that wonderful broccoli/cheese/and rice.

We love this place. Still some home cooking. Food is always good. Service is always friendly Only drawback to our last visit. Flooring carpet tiles popped up. Looks terrible. Not a good example when you first enter Dinning room. Also very cool. No heat. Place needs some attention quickly. Looking shabby

This place is really good. Mac n cheese isn't amazing though. I love love their crawfish etouffee. It is so so good and especially over the white rice. It's a meat and two, or meat and three, so you get charged based on how many sides or entrees you have. Fyi, the etouffee counts as an entree of it's own. My fiance loves their carrot souffle. Definitely come here for some good fresh home cooked food- better than fast food any day. It's about $12-15 a plate- one entree and 2-3 sides.

It's Piccadilly! Solid food, helpful staff and I love seeing the lady at the register who has her nails always painted so pretty. She is super cheerful and sweet and adds a lot of hospitality to your restaurant as you check out. Now to the food - generally it's all really good and some days you just need a plate with vegetables and hot bread and this location is perfect for that. Fast, casual, good food and nice portions. I typically eat at Piccadilly a couple of times a month - only one dissapointment (crawfish etoufee cooked waaaaay too long) but typically it's pretty fresh and tasty. Oh, one last thing - Piccadilly please go back to frying individual pieces of chicken and not the thigh/leg or breast/wing uncut and cooked whole. And bring back that cranberry jello salad thing that I've loved for years!

Piccadilly is a trip back in time to your school cafeteria but with more options. The food is always good quality and cooked to perfection. Different days have different options but that's good because change is good. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Bring your family and friends for a great lunch or dinner in a home style atmosphere.

Home style food, fresh and delicious! The service for take out was spot on! The restaurant is clean, welcoming and a great choice for families or take out!

This place is clearly targeted at older people but it's not bad. It's just ordinary cafeteria food so it's great for a simple lunch or dinner with mom or grandma, but it's not overly exciting. Fresher and cleaner than most buffets and kid friendly, but very reminiscent of a school or hospital cafeteria.

This Piccadilly had decent food and really friendly service. The prices have gone up a bit but it is still a good deal for all of the food.

Back in the day, this place used to be the place to go for good comfort food. I had hopes of eating a good dinner but I was underwhelmed. Even my sister agreed with me this time. I settled on getting a bowl of gumbo and I shared my sister's carrot souffle with her. She ordered the fish special, which included fried fish, French fries, one side and a drink. My gumbo was just okay. It wasn't anything special. The carrot souffle didn't seem as smooth as we've had in the past. It was like they didn't blend all of the ingredients enough. Overall, the meal was subpar. It serves its purpose as food for fuel, definitely not for pleasure. Oh well.

Surprisingly, the food was pretty delicious. I enjoyed the chicken tenders, salad and mac n cheese. Everything was fresh and the hot bar actually had hot food and not lukewarm. I would return for another round of the tenders.

I usually enjoy visiting Picadilly, but on the last couple of visits, I've questioned the cleanliness of the people serving the food. On one visit, I ordered food to go. The lady packing the food placed her bare hand in one of the containers and was about to put the food in it. I had to ask her to get another container because her hand was in it. On my last visit, none of the servers had on gloves and all of their fingers were touching the food in the bowls. I submitted a complaint online and never received a response. I can no longer continue eating here because this type of behavior is starting to look like a pattern.

My mom DRAGSSS me here every few months. I used to really enjoy Piccadilly until I grew up and realized it is just OK. The food is typically still warm and there are enough options to choose from. I usually stick with "safe" foods now, such as baked chicken, carrot soufflé, and broccoli. While we are on the subject, their carrot soufflé is the best in my opinion. I've tried a variety of carrot and sweet potato soufflés at other restaurants, but I must hand the crown to Piccadilly for that option. Other than that, their food tastes like basic school cafeteria food--I mean, it is a cafeteria though. It seems like they cater to our beloved elders more than anything, which is fine. Their food is never highly seasoned and, sometimes, not seasoned enough. I strongly dislike their cheese sauces, both for the broccoli and broccoli-cheddar rice. I used to love their broccoli-cheddar rice until it made me so sick to my stomach that I vowed to never return (but, my mom of course...). I narrowed it down to the cheese and I'm not lactose intolerance. The cheese sauce for the broccoli seems watered down. But that's enough about cheese. So maybe I'm biased because I prefer and appreciate nicely seasoned food, and I feel that only a few choices really hit that mark.

Ande A.

Yelp
It's very obvious this is batch-prepared food. Kind of like let's throw some stuff together to fill the troughs and feed the cattle (people). The food was barely warm. Broccoli rice has little to no flavor. Worse than that is the chicken tenders. It's clear they cook them in the same oil as the fish. I don't like fish, and don't want my chicken to taste like fish. The coating is soft and mushy, not crispy at all. They give you 3 generous sized pieces, but they are nasty. I brought the chicken home to give to my dogs as a treat because they don't care if it's fishy tasting.

Just amazing with mouthwatering food. Manager is really friendly and so are the employees here. You can never go wrong with any of the food here. Never interrupting and the bad reviews are just haters that have no taste in DELICIOUS food.

Good cafeteria. We're here about once/month. Nice selections, all fresh. Warning: the beef roast is usually seriously over-cooked. Everything else is pretty good here. I like the large hamburger steak with greens, cabbage, & cornbread. Bride likes the roasted chicken w/ mac & cheese. Large shopping center parking. No service problems here. Entrance off main road can be confusing to new folks. Use "Yelp" directions or review local map first. Rick

I was just looking for something quick and hot to eat. I stopped at this location and got my food to go . I ordered a side of fish and had to wait for it to come up. I sat and waited. I was completely walked over more than once by a waitress, Christie. I actually went back up to the line, which was very busy, and the cashier, Sam, turned and assisted me without me asking.

Oh Piccadilly - why do I never think about coming here?Their food is good. They are consistent too with a huge variety. They have some regular signature items on the line like carrot soufflé, Salisbury steak, cornbread sticks, fried chicken, etc. They also have daily specials. They are all about portion control, which is fine with me. For about ten bucks, you can have a tasty home cooked hot meal. I stopped by on my way home from work and grabbed some take out. Yes, you have to actually get out of your car; but I'm okay with that. Even though it was pouring down rain when I returned to my car; but that's just my bad luck! They were not very busy and everyone I spoke with was friendly and nice. I opted for the fried chicken tenders with cornbread dressing and mashed potatoes as my two sides. The mashed potatoes seemed like the instant kind. The cornbread dressing was flavorful but a bit too salty in my opinion. The fried chicken tenders were basic, but good. They were homemade. They were likely sitting out for a bit as they were starting to dry out a tad, but hey I get it, It's a cafeteria line. The only reason I didn't give five stars was because they use styrofoam take out containers, instant mashed potatoes, and they didn't ask if I wanted dipping sauce for my chicken tenders. I'll definitely return!

This was so nasty first the fish was double battered and mushy on the inside. The corn was nasty we thought it would taste good because there were a lot people there. I give this place 1 star and that being generous.

The food has gotten MUCH WORSE. I have been going to this picadilly most of my life. It's a lot of food for the price. However, if you don't like the food, what is that worth? To be fair, I branched out and tried something knew when I went here last week. The chicken pot pie looked and smelled great, but upon putting it in my mouth I could immediately tell ALL the ingredients came out of a can. Not to discriminate against canned goods because I cook with them, but there are WAYS to mask the can taste. They didn't even try. On top of all this, I usually LOVE LOVE LOVE their mac & cheese. Seriously y'all. They murdered my poor Mac & cheese with sugar. Blech. Inedible. It's still in my fridge at home. I should really throw that out. All in all, I only ate the garlic bread. $6 meal to eat garlic bread. I could get 8 pieces from the ghetto Rouse's and pay half that. Two stars are awarded here simply because it's always clean and the employees are nice.

The food was okay, prices are decent, location and parking is decent. Probably my biggest complaint is the unappealing floor that was so nasty that the grommet had so much gunk that it was taller than the tile in most places. If it were just about the food and service I'd give a 4 star but my reviews cover every aspect of the experience.

G R.

Yelp
The food is edible, but the flavor is gone. Piccadilly Cafeteria is just a faded shadow of the greatness that it used to be. Once, it was teamed with real chefs, everything was made from scratch in house, onions were chopped, broth was simmered, bread was measured, proofed and baked. But not anymore. Most of the food taste like it is cooked in a factory in China and shipped enclosed, frozen, in a boil bag. They should rename the restaurants to: Hospital Food Cafeteria

This is an okay place to eat but heads up never get the dessert at the beginning of the line Lord knows how long's it's been out there and don't get the cake it pie at the end of the line because it's extra and expensive so I advise the fried chicken Mack n cheese fries with cheese sauce and a buttered roll So now on to the employees they are very sweet but they all looked like they want to die some are very slow so be careful!!! Onto the building it's run down a bit 52% of it's area is blocked off .it has a surface clean but needs a good cleaning

Had Uber eats deliver me done food from here....what a disappointment it was. Ordered chopped beef hot some rando slab of beef. Cornbread tasted terrible , green beans were soggy , Mac and cheese had no flavor , even the cheese cake was blah. Don't waste your money

Went here to get vegetables and try to eat lo carb. The broccoli was so over cooked, mushy and flavorless. The green beans and corn were right out of the can. My girlfriend got the fried catfish. Horrible...double battered and mushy inside. It was like they battered and fried a frozen catfish filet! The salads are right out the bag with institutional bottled dressing. How is the place still in business?? $28 plus tip for this Grammer school cafeteria food. Anywhere is a better choice.

Pleasantly surprised .. good food.. wide selection of sides .. my only complaint is their "soft" rolls and corn bread pucks .. sorry but y'all can get a good game of hockey out of those things ... if you can get past the substandard bread it's worth a try .. I've tried the fried shrimp.. the roast beef and the chopped steak .. all very good with the roast beef being my favorite and the chopped steak being my least favorite of the three .. but as i said it is still being very good.. as for sides .. I've tried the Mac and cheese which is just slightly above average,the mashed potatoes and gravy .. yummy and the carrot soufflé which is super yummy ..

Probably the worst cafeteria food place I've ever been to in my life, and I usually LOVE cafeteria food. I had the lemon pepper chicken, cabbage, and broccoli cheese casserole. My chicken was uncooked. Asked waitress nicely to please just get me another piece and she acts as is he was in a rush. When she brings out my new piece, there was no lemon pepper sauce on it at all whatsoever.. Chicken is salty. Server is wack. I don't think I would ever come back to this place. Nothing beats east coasts k&w cafeteria food..... Worst first time experience here for me.

When in doubt, stick with old faithful. Picadilly is a sole survivor in the restaurant war. Don't forget about fish on Friday abd oh that carrot soufle that you pretended to make (lol). I actually enjoy the baked chicken. It's usually cooked just right. I just wish this was a drive thru. Talk about convenience.

I specifically have a crush on these Eastern European girls that work there.. I love their efficient service, not personally.. They come from an Eastern European bloc country not too far from say-Russia, and are very humble. If there is an elder person at the food register they ALWAYS offer to carry their tray. They hustle, never leaving a glass unfilled. Working in such an efficient team using hand signals and such, piccadilly is lucky to have them. In addition they provide much needed eye candy because they are pleasant and friendly to everyone. I tip them everything I have because they deserve and work for it, no "entitlement here". These are the personnel we need in our country. They deserve amnesty more than someone that sends their kid on a train alone from El Salvador. But the food is great (excuse me do you need more ketchup for your fries?) compared to that sloppy cafeteria chain In Texas. They always have excellent food: seafood specials, awesome fried chicken, fish, roast beef, and sides. Sides like macaroni and cheese, collard greens, dirty rice, carrot soufflé, and anything else the population here eats. The cooks know what goes because they cook it every day. The sides are even available for takeout, and usually sellout for thanksgiving so get there early....

A quick, get-you-in, Get-you-out restaurant with the ambience of a hospital waiting room, which is fitting since it looked liked most of the customers wanted to die. Food wasn't half bad and we didn't have to bus our own tables, so a plus in my book.

My wife met a friend for lunch at Piccadilly Cafeteria on Friday, July 26, 2019; she has eaten the same meal many times before, including with this friend. Both have been nurses (bachelor and master degreed) for decades; my wife finally retired after 45+ years. A few hours after she came home, she became violently ill with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea with a temperature of over 101; she lost 6 lbs. in two days. She has spent years in health care and recognized the symptoms of food poisoning. When she called the manager of Piccadilly Cafeteria this morning, the manager was dismissive and told her to get a physician's opinion, which she will in a few hours. The manager claimed that no one had ever become sick at that site. While that is highly unlikely since the outlet has been there for years, my wife chose not to argue with her that it (a) probably not true and she was lying, (b) might not reflect people who did not know what food poisoning is, and/or (c) might not capture those who did not know how to file a complaint. This lack of sensitivity is unacceptable; Piccadilly needs to know that this quality of product breach will not go away.

4 Stars for the Piccadilly Cafeteria's All-You-Can-Eat weekend breakfast buffet on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The best news is that they have a station where you can have made-to-order fried eggs or omelets choosing options of cheese, bacon, ham, mushrooms, onions etc, both cooked the way you prefer. You can also order waffles, pancakes and french toast or select your bread option for the nearby toaster. The buffet line offers bacon, sausage patties, sausage links, hash browns, grits, cheese grits, scrambled eggs, homestyle biscuits and country gravy. In other areas you can serve yourself to cinnamon rolls, fruit, drinks and a selection of small boxes of cereal. Their buffet also includes juice, whole milk and coffee. Everything is unlimited. All this for only $7.99 before tip. (Seniors $6.99; Kids 4 to 12 $4.99, Kids 3 and under Free) The breakfast buffet is served in chafing dishes in the dining room not in the normal serving line so that they can set up the food for their lunch customers. Most times I also go through the line after breakfast to take out food to eat later since I never cook lunch or dinner on Sundays. FYI: If you have never been to a Piccadilly, they serve lunch and dinner seven days a week cafeteria style. The main courses have prices marked which include two sides from the salad section and/or vegetable section plus a bread choice, or you can order a la carte. The most ordered option is their carrot souffle that looks like a sweet potato casserole. It is so sweet that you would never need a dessert!! As with most restaurants, you cannot take out food from the buffet but you can certainly order take out for regularly priced options.

When I was in college Piccadilly downtown Baton Rouge was one of the best restaurant. However, the Piccadilly in Metairie is not. The food was just above edible, as bland as could be made. What happen?

When you feel like the world is just beating you down, don't you just want to go to your grandma's for a piece of pie or cake or funky jello mold? My go-to dinner here is usually fried fish, or baked chicken, green beans, broccoli rice casserole and fried okra. Yes, the carrot souffle is like crack but I usually feel guilty ordering a whole dish of it so I just steal bites from my son or husband. There is also a nice assortment of pies and cakes at the end of the line. This place is usually quiet, unless you run into the after-church dining crowd. The food can be "OK" to "Moderately tasty" but you don't feel like you're surrounded by hipster diners (or waitstaff) trying to look cool, kids can eat for .99 after 4pm, and the service has always been friendly and attentive in my experience. It's not healthy and it's not fancy but neither was my grandma and I'm okay with that.

Piccadilly reminds me of the good ole cafeteria food of my Catholic grammar school days when they actually had the "Cafeteria Ladies" that cooked the food for you! Favorite dish is the Pecan Crusted Catfish, with Carrot Souffle (Man beats the dickens out of Sweet Potato Casserole) and a steamed veggie. Get in, eat, get out. Really something for everyone's price and diet needs. Kid love it because they get to pick there food. Staff has always been friendly. Check it out! It's not just your Grandma's hangout anymore!

I suffer with chronic pain so I don't always know how I'm going to feel every week so I decided to order Piccadilly for Thanksgiving. And for what I ordered, I was SERIOUSLY disappointed. The turkey gravy had no flavor it, so earlier tonight I had to doctor it just make it edible. The little bit of roast beef that I ordered was seriously over cooked as stated in another review. The "cannied" yams was more like yams that have been boiled in sugar water or something to that effect. I always enjoyed the other Piccadilly over by Ochsner Hospital, but it no longer exists so it is what it is. 1/10... won't ever order this again for the holidays.

I might just ruin all my reviewer cred right now, but Picadilly has equivalent or better food than a lot of "real" restaurants. Where else can you get a gigantic plate of well-seasoned fried catfish, a steaming bowl of awesome crawfish etouffee, a heap of tasty-sweet carrot souffle, and a Barq's red creme soda for less than $20?! It's a diamond in the rough for homesick ex-pats and even new visitors, who are probably too busy getting ripped off by French Quarter tourist traps to know it's out there. Last time I was there on Valentine's Day with my gay BFF, which was in itself hilarious. They definitely won't get any points for shi-shi decor or enthusiastic waitstaff (it is, after all, a cafeteria), but the food is solid enough to blow away any pricy attempt at Nola-food or cafeteria fare outside of New Orleans. And it's just as awesome as I remember it being in my teen years in the early 90s... Long live the Piccadilly!

I see why most of these cafeteria's have closed around the city. This place serves school grade food with no taste in which every looks to have been made from a box and pre-packaged. The only thing worth eating here is the carrot soufflé. I hope to never have to return here except for when I am an octogenarian like most of their customers though I doubt they will be around 50 years from now at least I hope.

I was excited to come to Piccadilly because I hadn't been since I was a good. Well, the nostalgia wore off very quickly. I decided to try to be somewhat healthy and got the lemon-pepper baked chicken, fried okra (I said somewhat), carrot souffle, cornbread sticks, and pie. Well, the chicken was weird. I don't know, but I didn't finish it. The souffle and okra were good, as usual. But the cornbread sticks were unbelievably dry. The pie was... good. I guess. We couldn't figure out what type of pie it was. There was some chocolate, some pecan, some goo, and whipped cream. It was ok. Very sugary. Not the Piccadilly I remember. Sadface.

I went to this restaurant I've never been to before. Ordered food. They charged me too much. I accidentally got a double meal. The cashier recognized my confusion and accommodated my new-be experience. I sat down to eat. I ate. Looked around. I saw 97% old people. This was a old folks retirement restaurant. No wonder most of the food was soft and mushy.... Though I must admit it beats in taste and quality any fast food joint, I still have most of my teeth, oh well, I had to settle for ground meat instead of a nice steak this time.

I've never particularly enjoyed cafeteria food. It's always associated with the idea that you're going to receive something bleak from the bowels of hell behind the food line. And oh, look....Hades is even dishing it up himself! Yay? Where does this doctrine of suffering originate? I haven't a clue but for me, it all began in elementary school. I can't think of a single time that I was excited about lunch provided by the school system. I recall fellow classmates expressing excitement that every other Tuesday was Taco Salad day. I can't for the life of me understand what the cause for celebration was. For starters, the taco shell (as they called it) looked like those old Pickelhaube helmets the German military used to wear during WWI. The only thing missing was the spike on top. The original helmets were made of boiled leather, which precisely captures the flavor and toughness of these special Tuesday afternoon delicacies. I hope that many students promptly made an appointment to see a dentist shortly after attempting consumption because human teeth were never intended to penetrate this rigid, steel-type of material. Perhaps its these vivid memories of my unrelenting tussle with grisly school lunches that drives me to avoid all cafeterias like a fairgrounds Port-O-Let. You just know that on the other side, you're going to be dealing with things that can't be unseen. In any case, I was asked to join a few friends of mine who work in the area on a quest for sustenance to Piccadilly Cafeteria. I'm going to try to keep this review short because I've still been suffering from sleepless nights and to describe, in colorful detail as I tend to do, everything I experienced, I'm afraid I would be tearing a hole in the progress I've made with my psychiatrist to get over the ordeal. I found the food to be just that....food. I was going to use the word 'sustenance' but that essentially means a necessity for existence. Piccadilly is NOT a necessity. It's just 'stuff' to get you through an afternoon, I guess, which is what I think school system lunches were intended to be, too. I think what really disturbed me were the people I found dining in there. Scary. I read that this cafeteria was chosen as 'the best place to take the whole family'. Really? Is it because of the prices? It has to be because it can't be the food. I saw some macaroni and cheese sitting under a heat lamp for so long, it developed a terrain over the top that, upon closer observation, resembled the satellite images of Mars' rocky planet surface. I was just about to attempt a search for the Mars rover when I was told I had to keep moving. Oh, right, back to the customers. Wow, what a foreboding bunch of creatures I witnessed in the dining area, savaging what appeared to be turkey legs in a merciless, barbaric manner. I guess it was so easy, cavemen really COULD do it. I might also add that while in line, there was a group in front of me that was engaging in a game of who could fart the loudest. Then, one of them was messing with their fingernails over the food. Seriously, in the restaurant?? The only thing they DIDN'T do was check themselves for polyps in the buffet line. It's also worth mentioning that while we were dining, a guest at a table near our party burped so loud, I turned around and began looking for the epicenter. Honestly, I think I felt plates in the earth shift! C'mon, people! Just because you can 'bring the whole family' doesn't mean you have to act the same way you do when you're in your living room with them. The food was okay and it might be enough to get you through an afternoon. Don't look for anything more. You won't find it.
