The Piccadilly at Manhattan

Wonderful neighborhood place that has friendly staff and very welcoming. Food was delicious. Truly enjoyed. We will be returning.

This place has been on my list of places to try for over a decade and I’m ashamed it’s taken me so long to finally make the pilgrimage to one of our city’s best establishments. I’m constantly trying chicken from all over the country and The Piccadilly at Manhattan is certainly well within the conversation of some of the all time greats. Cooked absolutely perfectly. Nothing fancy, no exotic herbs and spices, just exactly what you would expect from southern-American style fried chicken. The classic bone in chicken was easily, and by far, the star of the show. The wings with the “our way” sauce was a close second. It’s a sweet and spicy blend of brown sugar and hot sauce. A scrumptious combination, as could be inferred. The strips were fantastic as well, coming in 3rd place. In this case last absolutely does NOT mean least. All three were parsecs above average. 9.45/10 Clucks. Highly recommended. The ranch was special and unique. Typical homemade ranch but with an herbaceous flavor bomb as a result of added herbes de Provence. Interesting and not overpowering. Worth a try to be sure.

I tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago. I tried the smoked Cuban sandwich with fries. The sandwich was a good size, very tasty, and filling. The fries were cooked to perfection, crisp and delicious. Online ordering and pick up was simple. I'd eat here again!

My go-to place for a real homemade meal when I'm not up to cooking. Chicken dinner is great and you can choose between dark & white meat only, which I love. Now their Mayfair dressing is the best and they make it fresh every day. I always order a pint to take home as it's the only dressing I like on my salads or for dipping sauce. There is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious.

We ordered, for the first time, 2 chicken pot pies. We cannot rave enough about how delicious they were. Prepared to perfection! Lots of chunks of white meat in a delicious cream sauce. Loved the puff pastry! We have never been disappointed in the food. You can tell they take pride in food preparation and service.

My first time and it was AHHHMAZING! We ordered the fried chicken and smoked Cuban sandwich. We had the blackberry cobbler and brownie Sunday for dessert. It was OUTSTANDING and our waitress Karen was superb!!!!

Finally got to try the seafood pot pie! It was SO GOOD!!! I would highly recommend trying it out. They only serve it on Fridays though so plan accordingly!

Wow! This place was soo cool. I found it via Google search for a good Cuban sandwich. I realized that I came here as a child when it was just a bar. The atmosphere is soo cool inside. The food is the best part though. The Cuban honestly did not impress me visually, but when I took a bite... oh my! The pork butt was soo good. My mom had the famous Picadilly fish. She wanted to try the Mayfair salad, but didn't want the whole salad so they made her a side salad with Mayfair dressing. They make this dressing in house and its amazing. I had a cup of Gumbo with my sandwich and it was soo good. I forgot to get a picture of it, but I have to believe it was homemade. I will definitely come back. You should come try it too.

The food is outstanding! The chicken pot pie is close to being the best I've ever had, I loved everything about it, especially the buttery, flaky crust. The meatloaf tastes like it's homemade. And the fried chicken was fried and seasoned perfectly. I ordered my food to go, I could only imagine how it would've been sitting in to eat.

Adorable spot within walking distance of my new house. Staff walked that line between attentive and hovering so well. Menu is brief but the dishes are so well executed. Everyone else drinks were great. I chose a key lime pie that wasn't as lime-y as I was hoping. Admittedly, I love tart things more than average. I did not pick up the check. They have inside or outside seating and take reservations. I will definitely be back!

One of my favorite places to take the special people in my life. It feels like eating in someone's home, and is about the same size. Reservations are highly recommended. The fried chicken is some of the best I've had. My husband ordered the seafood pot pie and that was a bit underwhelming, but I go for the specials and fried chicken. Great bar selection with special martinis and delicious sangria.

We checked this place out Saturday night around 6:30. Neither of us had been in years. We sat outside. It's nice and cozy inside and the patio is very lovely, and updated since my last visit. We both got half fried chicken dinner and salad. The food was good aside from the salad being soaked in dressing, even after asking twice for it to be on the side. Our server was Hope. She wasn't friendly. It was like we had burdened her by coming in for dinner. She was avoiding her outside tables the whole time we were there. When we first sat down, we overheard other diners complaining about not getting their check or waiting on boxes so I asked her pretty early on if we could get our check in a few boxes so that we wouldn't be waiting long once we were finished. She dropped boxes, but not the check so I had to ask again. Another table was asking for water and silverware when their salads were delivered by the older woman who was doing everything. Hope never came back to get our card. We finally asked the lady doing everything if she could grab her. Another five minutes later she sauntered out and tossed it back on the table. Not a thanks for coming, have a good night, nothing. I want to like this place, but I probably won't rush back soon.

This is a fun little restaurant tucked into a quiet neighborhood in Maplewood. My favorites include the fried chicken, chicken pot pie and the meatloaf. It's especially nice when the weather allows for eating outside.

One of our favs for homestyle food cooked perfectly! Great fried chicken and love the pot pies! Same room for dessert!

The chicken pot pie was phenomenal, especially the crust. Good service. Relaxed atmosphere. Delightful neighborhood restaurant hidden among cute Maplewood homes.

Very cute and cozy atmosphere. It seems most everything is made in house and it was all delicious! Personally I don't like hot sauce but my partner said the homemade hot sauce was amazing. Also very friendly staff and good service. Would definitely recommend!

Hands-down, some of the best fried chicken I've had in a very long time at a eating establishment. I also had the biggest critic in the world with me my mama if she says something is good trust me it is good. I will definitely be back. I'm new to the area and found the aesthetics customer service and the amazing memorabilia and history that is attached to the decor. Makes this place a hidden gem. One other small thing to note, I like when places, especially living in a bigger city before moving here where there was a lot of hustle and bustle pretty much everyone that came in there outside of us was known by the staff and the people that worked there. Another great thing to love. I could also see this being a really cute date night spot or a quick place to even grab a drink if you're not interested in dinner. I almost forgot and can't believe that I did. The onion rings were to die for.

The Piccadilly at Manhattan is my go-to for fried chicken and is one of St. Louis' oldest continuously operated family restaurants. Also it is a small and cozy restaurant with great with great customer service that has what I consider to be the best and freshest fried chicken that would rival my Grandma's iron skillet southern fried chicken and that is to standing! I love getting the Mayfair salad as well with the very tasty Mayfair dressing. One thing I've wanted to he chicken pot pie with the big pastry crust but every time I return I'm craving fried chicken so keep getting this plate instead but oh well, maybe one day soon.

We always love the Piccadilly. Their fish, the prime rib on Saturdays, and barbecue on Wednesdays are all favorites of ours. The only thing I don't get is any of the pot pies...too many lima beans!

We stopped in here after reading great reviews. It is the best chicken pot pie I have ever had. The service was amazing too. We even got one to go for my Mom. I live out of town. Each time I visit family in St Louis I will be going here.

We sat on the bright heated patio. We ordered a chicken pot pie and the fried-chicken dinner. The food was good and, also, hot. Service was very slow, but we were okay with that. I would, certainly, return.

I love this place! The food, the service, the ambiance is 5 star! I've gone twice so far and each time was HEAVEN!! I didn't take picture the first time, but trust me, the meat falls off the rib bones! My husband had the chicken pot pie and bought a frozen one to take home for another time! The second time, I had the New England clam chowder and it was soooo good, thick and creamy and loaded with clams, potatoes, corn. YUM!! My main course was the fried fish, but you can eat this flaky delight without teeth, it melts in your mouth!! Go, enjoy the place in the middle of the neighborhood and enjoy!! Gotta go wipe my mouth, cause I'm drooling! ;)

Spacious restaurant offering ample seating options both indoors as well as outdoor patio. We obviously went during a mad rush and waited nearly half hour for a table for 2. Because there are so many seats/tables, waiting inside on a cold winter afternoon was SUPER TIGHT. Soup of the day which was vegetable was good along with a small salad. Didn't make up for the long wait but was a decent lunch with pleasant service in a nice local spot. Would love to try a pot pie but vegetable was not offered. Hopefully they'll consider adding it in the near future. ~Christy

Very nice place the pot pie is unbelievable. I think it's nice place for a lunch date and a place. That's definitely an upgrade from fast food. I would say give them a try. I think it'll be happy.

Love this place! Delicious food -- pot roast special, chicken pot pie & meatloaf! Apple Crisp for dessert was scrumptious! Server was great, too!

Hubby saw the reviews and menu in here & was intrigued. American cuisine, known for their pot pies. We started with a side of Parmesan ranch fries, nice & crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Those fries were packed with so much flavor. I got the half a chicken meal, comes with mashed potatoes & green beans. The chicken was juicy & flavorful, perfect crispy skin. I could only eat 2 pieces, took the breast & leg home for later. Mashed potatoes were fluffy & they pool gravy in the middle, nice light brown gravy. The green beans were seasoned very well. Hubby got the short rib pot pie. The crust was plentiful & flaky. The inside of this pot pie was so yummy. I cannot even put it into words, just so many layers of flavor. Took some of that home too. We will be back to try more of the menu options.

I really liked the hometown neighborhood feel of The Piccadilly. Limited menu of only the good stuff. The drinks were top notch and the service was great. Local Nostalgic decor made The Piccadilly a special place. Great dinner and night out.

One tip: GET THE BEEF POT PIE! Absolutely delicious food at this quaint spot in Maplewood. The pot pie is filled with pot roast, short ribs, carrot, green beans, mashed potatoes, and a beef gravy roux filling. It's hands down the best pot pie I've ever had. Everyone else gave glowing reviews of their food as well! The service is wonderful with super friendly and genuine staff who makes the entire experience enjoyable. Definitely recommend slipping in here for great, gut filling food!

Best Fried Chicken in town!!! Everything is good, consistantly! Family owned! Get there early to get a Seat!

For the second year in a row, on the night we decided to go get our Christmas tree at Ted Drews - we chose to have dinner at Piccadilly at Manhattan. And for the second year in a row we were well pleased. The ambience could be better. It is a bit too "white lit" like the lighting is just not warm, if they would switch to warmer light bulbs it would make a monumental difference, but all in all it is a cute place to have dinner. It is tight seating as there is just not a ton of space. I love the relatively small menu. I recommend getting reservations if possible. But we walked-in just as we did last year and were seated in about 10-15 minutes. My wife and I had the chicken pot pie, my dad had the fried chicken and my adult daughter had the cheeseburger. Everything was solid. Great portions, and great food. We also ordered the Onion Rings as an appetizer. Onions rings were great! Crispy, not too thick. They could add some sort of "Piccadilly Onion Rings sauce" and it would be a bit more "special" feeling... as it was it was just great onion rings on a plate. But again... they were really great! Cheeseburger - moist delicious - ample sized. Solid choice - but nothing super special about it. Fried Chicken - delicious crunchy outside - moist and flavorful inside. Pot Pie (Chicken) - I mean what more can be said. It was the best Chicken Pot pie I have ever had. The flakey crust is fantastic all by itself, but the inside is a wonderful cacophony of comfort-food flavor that makes you feel like a kid on a snow-day. Our server was upbeat, friendly, attentive, and quick. However I noticed a couple of other team members who put off a vibe that they were being forced to be there and that it was a colossal pain in that patootie. I recommend Piccadilly on Manhattan and attest that we will certainly be back!

Nice little restaurant in a residential area. We sat in the outside seating' and it's comfortable. Waitress is friendly. Pot pies had great crispy crust.

Food was very good. Service was superb. Place was nice, clean, comfortable. Hostess was clearly having a bad day, week, or month. She said we could sit at a table, pointed at it, then said but you will have to move in an hour. I said no thanks we like to take our time, 430pm. She said then you can sit outside, I said no thanks it's above 90*. Then she snapped just wait then. And walked away.

Maybe the best fried chicken restaurant in town. Excellent service and fresh food; not only was the fried chicken good, but everything we ordered was just amazing. It's in a residential area, so you would find the workers very friendly.

Food is always excellent. Plating is picture perfect. Have never had a subpar meal. We especially enjoy their fried chicken, pot pies and entree salads. Friendly and attentive servers. Always clean. only complaints are it is sometimes difficult to get a table and parking can be a challenge.

Never disappointed with the food at Piccadilly. Delicious, fresh and tastes home cooked. Awesome attentive service from John today. I love there Mayfair dressing and had a salad with home style tomato soup. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken entree, and took home enough for a second meal. The star of the show was the strawberry rhubarb cobbler served warm and a la mode!!! Perfect ending to a perfect meal.

Such a cute little place. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for over a year. Tried to make a reservation online and could only make a reservation for parties of 6 or more. We arrived without a reservation at 5:00pm and it was already packed. We were told they do take reservations. Next time we will definitely call to make one. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail while we waited for a table. Only waited about 19 minutes. Service was very friendly. Food was fantastic. I had the short rib pot pie. Highly recommend. So delicious. Flaky crust and amazing flavor. Next time I will try the chicken pot pie. My husband had the fried chicken. That was good too. They had a few specials. Most tables seemed to be ordering the pot pies and fried chicken. We will definitely be back. Loved that you can get the pot pies frozen to take home too.

Had the chicken pot pie. The dough was perfect, but it was overly creamy and heavy, and salty. The only vegetables in were lima beans and a lot of canned corn. The soup of the day was clam chowder. It was not like a normal clam chowder and the flavor was not very good and the clams were very tough and unchewable. And there was a lot of canned corn in the clam chowder. Are they trying to combine clam chowder and corn chowder?? We took a couple of bites of the soup and told the server that we did not care for it, but she still charged us for it.

We had the fried chicken and it didn't disappoint, hot and fresh to order. The sides were great: green beans, cole slaw and mash potatoes, no complaints. Built out of an old home, it had a low key comfortable vibe. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I'm a fried chicken snob and prefer flavor profiles like Gus'.

absolutely wonderful-went here for the first time with a friend for lunch-I got the Cuban sandwich-tastiest sandwich ever-the meat was tender with crispy edges & great sauce. Fries were crispy & delicious. We both tried to save room for desert-got the blackberry cobbler with ice cream-very tasty. We will definitely be back. Beautiful place-with nice touches everywhere-waitress was very nice & answered all our questions-we learned quite a bit about the history of this place. I would give them a 10 if the star rating went that high. Nice outdoor seating available-peaceful-no loud music-relaxing & great food-what more could you want. Unusual attention to detail which is hard to find these days. Can't wait to return.

Well this was a wonderful surprise! I couldn't believe I had never heard of the place with as much as I'm constantly researching restaurants. It is so lovely and quaint hidden in the middle of a residential neighborhood. There's plenty of street parking and a small lot behind. There's seating inside and out but the patio areas are not to be skipped. The food was all outstanding and left you feeling fed yet comforted. I had the roast and it was delicious. Everyone loved their meals. This is a must do for a unique dining experience in terms of location and style.

Amazing. One of the best restaurants in St. Louis. Outstanding staff. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The chicken pot pie is a must.

keep My hubby had the meatloaf and double mash . The meatloaf was not good - it we didn't quite taste like beef . But the mashed potatoes were good We shared the smoked ribs & baked beans special - PHENOMENAL. I had the fried chicken , mashed potatoes & broccoli. Chicken was great but needed a smidge more salt. Mashed potatoes and broccoli were good. Overall, we will definitely be returning the next time in STL!

Good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. I love this place. It is the kind of place you feel welcome as soon as you enter.

Quaint. Fun. Full bar. Limited parking. Pleasant staff. Quick service. Homey. COMFORT FOOD! The next best thing to mom's home cooking! Call about the hours, maybe get a reservation. They always aim to please and cut hours temporarily in the Fall. In February, 2023, they will add evening hours for Friday and Saturday. It's all about the customer. (They just didn't have enough staff for awhile). They'll always take great care of you-be nice back!

Stumbled upon this spot while exploring the area earlier this year and so glad I did! Fantastic food and service including the best fish I have EVER HAD!!! I've never been a huge fish person but this may have converted me... my Dad on the other hand, has always been a fish person, and agreed this is the best fish he's ever had as well! The side dishes were also delicious. Super cute interior and nice neighborhood feel. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough!

I often come here for lunch, and I'm always delighted with their short rib pot pie - it's simply delicious! Fried chicken is also a great option, and their ribs are quite tasty. I had the pleasure of trying the blueberry mousse for dessert once - it was truly amazing! I've also had the prime rib sandwich, which was also quite enjoyable.

Meat loaf, pot pies, and chicken. Very pleasant patio. It's comfortable. Inside is a bit tight and therefore loud.

Arrived at 530pm Friday November 3rd to be told it would be a 20-25 minute wait, so ordered a couple drinks and sat outside till table was available. Had pot roast dinner and fried chicken dinner, mashed potatoes and green beans came with both we finished off the meal with a Carmel apple crisp. Mattie was our server and was very accommodating. It was very busy and quite noisy but this atmosphere/ambiance went along with the comfort food served.

This was always a solid affordable place to eat but they have fallen, our food was brought out at room temperature at best even the pot pie was Luke we I the middle. So we decide to try the dessert the bread pudding was cold. The strawberry cobbler was not cobbler at all it had a shortcake brea on it It was good but not what I expected. Service let's just say we were forgotten about Nerve was asked for a refill of ice tea Probably our last time

Ok all I can say is this place is the best!!!!!!!! I can't find a single thing to complain about from service to food! It is a casual dining establishment,your ok in jeans but if you want to dress up thats just fine too. The service is prompt and willing to accommodate things for you. All the staff wears masks. But seating is is normal. Not spaced out, they offer you a choice of seating. Now for the food! I cannot say enough!!!!!!! Everything and I do mean everything on the menu is extraordinarily yummy! The portions Are very generous, my husband gets more than enough to eat and that's saying something. I believe the fried chicken is the best in the city !

Cute little place with a very crowded dinner time! We got there around 6:45 and had a very easy time parking out front and after I parked I saw there was a parking lot next door. They told us it would be about a 30-45 minute wait, but we could grab a drink and wait out back in the heated patio. When we got back there, all of the waiting seats were taken, and we felt uncomfortable standing over people who were eating. We ended up going outside and standing by the first on the outside while we waited for others ahead of us to get tables. The time flew by and it didn't feel like a long time before we were seated at the bar. It's small inside so when others were trying to get drinks at the bar, it was tight and awkward to have them stand behind you. But! Despite all of the waiting, we got drinks quickly and our food came out so fast and was so hot. I got the chicken pot pie and loved that the pie was flaky and came off the dish easily. The filling was mouthwatering and I ate every bite was delicious. I ate all of the filling and did not think I would! So glad I finally got to check this place out and next time I'll probably make a reservation because it does fill up.

Great food. I got the short rib pot pie and it was delicious. Quaint atmosphere and good service

Must haves at Piccadilly, chicken pot pie, Roast beef sandwhich, Fried Chicken dinner. I have yet to find something I do not like there. There burgers are top notch. Service is great. There is a reason why they are always busy. Great food, great prices great service.

We did take out. It was not ready at the time they said it would be. Not a big deal. We tried the dinner salads, fried chicken meal, chicken & beef pot pie. The dressings for the salads were very good. The salad was lettuce with a little red onion & the dressing. Not what I expected for the price. The fried chicken was crispy & good. Not much seasoning which would have made it better. The beef pot pie was do much better than the chicken pot pie.

Food was delicious and healthy choice. Waited a long time to order and seated. Had no idea we needed to order at the counter and then sit at a table. Coffee was excellent.

I love this darling delicious neighborhood spot! Their food is terrific / I've tried it all, ribs, fish Sammie, salads, friend chicken. Service is with a smile and the bar drinks are good. Outdoor patio is fun when you what to be outside. It's family and not fancy. They take great care of you. Frozen to go dinner items up front for lazy dinners later.

Great service and nice people. Smash double cheese burger is my favorite on the menu and over burgers anywhere around. (Mmmm... smashed.) The seasonal salads are always choice as well.
