Piccadilly Cafeteria

Upon walking in they welcome you as you come in through the door, they have great looking fruit, pies, cobblers, salads.
You grab a tray and silverware and just grab what ya want to eat. Reminds me of Laughner’s Cafeteria up in Indiana, my northern folk can relate. I had the roast beef with mashed potatoes and their awesome carrot soufflé. If you haven’t tried it, get it. Its delicious. If you dont like carrots, you’ll love this – trust me.
Lela was a wonderful attendant as she greets you at your table and gets you anything you should need, didn’t have to ask for anything as she already knew what we needed like a mother. She loves her job, you can tell, and she treats you like your family.
The roast beef was tender and had a great taste to it, they carve it in front of you.
If you ever make it in, said hello to lela. She is a dear sweet lady like your momma or your grandmamma.

ughh –shivers– I got stuck here for work and they gave us meal coupons so we are here for free every night for over a week. I tried just about every main dish and only the chicken strips were worth having a second time. they are either dry and over cooked from sitting for too long or fresh and slightly undercooked. the sides are all really bland and the salads and desserts sucked. the cobbler had no real taste other than sweet and the cheesecake was awful. the service was welcoming and friendly but the place is outdated and the bathrooms just feel gross and in need of a deep clean and update as well. overall I wouldn’t pay to eat here and I’m glad I didn’t have to.

I was actually having a bad day until I ate here this afternoon. The restaurant was semi-​full for lunch but I received excellent customer service. I had a baked chicken teriyaki that was incredibly delicious. I don’t cook and I now want the recipe so I can have my wife make it at home! The sauce was incredible. I also had corn, Italian bread and a superb yellow rice. My meal tasted like I had a personal chef at my house; my food was seasoned perfectly! While eating, the attention I received from the manager and my waitress was surprisingly excellent. They made sure I did not need anything and checked on me regularly! I am so glad I came here today and they go on my regular restaurant rotation list. Kudos to an excellent staff!

I went to this Piccadilly back in March and was very underwhelmed, the food was extremely bland. I hadn’t been back until today when I decided to give it another shot because I’ve been to other Piccadillys and loved the food!
I walked out without finishing a quarter of my food, and I hate hate hate to waste food! The chicken tetrazzini was absolutely disgusting and definitely made with canned chicken. The other things on my plate were okay but I couldn’t even eat after tasting the tetrazzini. Won’t be returning ever again.

My service was good and so was my Southwest Chicken. This restaurant is older and badly in need of an upgrade. My server was very friendly and attentive to my needs. Their health score was good, which is always important for me. Over the years the cost of meals has risen but it has everywhere.

Hated It! Now this is a sad day for me. And not just because I’m back to eating on a budget, but also because this joint just messed up one of my favorite Veggies. Yep tou guessed it… .Mac N Cheese. This is Georgia. What restaurant F’s up Mac N Cheese in the South. This damn place. That’s who!
My chicken tenders were over cooked and them damn mashed potatoes were bland. Thank God for gravy! The best thing I tasted in this place was the fresh air as I exited! 3^rd strike.

***SEE UPDATED REVIEW BELOW. RATING AMENDED FROM TWO STARS TO FOUR STARS.
I’ve eaten at different Piccadilly locations for years with pleasant results (in fact, I’m a frequent diner), but there’s just something about this one … and that’s not a compliment. The food is good. The line servers are pleasant. The floor servers are also generally nice. Where everything consistently goes wrong is at the cashier station, whether it be in the front of the restaurant or in the back.
Every time that I’ve eaten at this location the cashiers have been surly. The pricing at the register is also inconsistent. I’m not sure whether they’re just not ringing the meals up correctly or I’m just not paying attention as I go through the line (based on other reviews that I’ve read I’ll say it’s the former). Today was the last straw. Meals for two people equaled out to just short of $ 30, and, yes, you guessed it, the cashier was nasty again. She even dropped a piece of paper on one of the entrees on my tray and didn’t bother to apologize. She just removed it with her bare hands, and her attitude dared me to say anything about it.
I’ve been more than fair with this location, and I think that this will be the last time that I eat here. Inconsistent pricing + subpar service experience = a fail in my book every day of the week. I expect better from the restaurants in this area.

***UPDATE 06/​03/​2015:
As indicated above, I’m updating this review and upping my rating from two stars to four stars.
After much consideration, I decided that a complaint was merited after the most recent negative experience with one of the cashiers as stated in my original review. I decided to reach out to the manager via letter, and to my great surprise he reached out to me via phone in response. He was very kind, gracious, and apologetic for the poor service experiences that I described to him, most notably the last incident where the cashier dropped a sheet of paper on one of my entrees without apology and then removed it with her bare hands. He also offered compensation for my diminished service experience.
I’ve found that this kind of leadership is very rare in this day and time where good customer service has become a dying art, not only on the part of front-​line personnel but also from a management position. I appreciate Larry’s attentiveness to my concerns and his efforts to make my bad experience (s) right.
I’ll continue to patronize this location in the future and will also refer friends and family here.

Food quality was terrible. Pricing was obscene for the amount and type of food. Avoid this place like the plague. I will never eat here again. This location redefines the meaning of terrible.
The cashier also rang up the meal incorrectly, charging almost twice the advertised price.
Edit: Both myself and my friend ended up sick with food poisoning after the meal. I sincerely hope this location ends up closing in the near future before others have to suffer the poor service, bad food, and sickness that eating here provides.

Got hungry and decided to pull into the 1^st restaurant when w got off the interstate. Ordered the baked chicken 2 sides and a dessert, my husband had the same. With our drinks our total was $ 30! I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was supposed to be a cheap cafeteria, well we were wrong! The Mac and cheese was bland, tasted like hospital food. The only good thing we had was the chicken. The waitress was very nice. Won’t be coming back for expensive crappy food any time soon!

I know what you’re thinking. Why on Earth would you go to a Piccadilly? I’ll tell you: Cheap veggies, quick. Sure it’s cafeteria eating. Sure, you’re likely to be among the few people in the room who know what social-​networking actually is. But for cheap veggies, quickly, it’s good stuff.
Besides, there are other good things to eat there, too. Baked fish (that’s also somewhat healthy), and other Southern-​fried concoctions that are all about comfort carbohydrate eating. And it’s cheap. So throw away your preconceptions about Piccadilly, and don’t be afraid to go.

Never been to a Piccadilly Cafeteria that is round in shape. This one is and it’s yellow. One unique thing about this Piccadilly is the buffet salad and soup bar. Never been to a Piccadilly that offers it. However, the salad bar is not all that exceptional.. .
It’s OK if you’re hungry and you have to eat like right now. Otherwise, skip it for something else.
