The food at the Sherwood Location is always fresh and really good! Juban location is not near as good.

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.

My family and I love this establishment the food is very delicious the closest thing to Mom's home cook meal (lol) the people working there are very polite and great at recommending food for picky children. The place is always clean and comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. Plus I door dash on the side and I pick up orders from here a lot.

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.

The food was great, service was great, and there were changing tables in the bathroom. 4 stars.

The fried chicken I had tonight a this Piccadilly was probably the best I've ever had anywhere. The crust was perfectly seasoned and texture could not have been better. Meat was properly cooked a juicy. The must have brined their chicken. Only complaint is that I used to get a breast and a thigh. Can't do that anymore since the sell leg quarters or breast with wing connected. I recommend enjoying the chicken with the carrot soufflé. I also enjoyed the rice broccoli casserole. Will definitely be back!

Soooo. If you have to push a tray through a line to get your food it better be good. Piccadilly isn't good food. It's mass food sitting lord knows how long in a tray on a steam table. It's expensive today. We could have gone and been waited on ordered what we wanted and had fresh food. Julie wanted black eyed peas and rice and some cabbage. They have it here. That makes her happy. The deserts are ok, but I hardly ever eat desert. My baked potato was under cooked and cold. Chopped steak tasted like junk. Corn was flavorless and the cole slaw just sucked. The garlic bread was pretty good. Julie enjoyed hers. I try not to eat here. I know it's going to be awful every time.

If you want to experience some good ole racism and disrespect, this is the place to go!!!!!!! I guarantee it!!!!Honestly, not the first bad experience at this location but probably the worst. An employee literally YELLED at my younger sister for asking for rice and gravy. Rolling her eyes, putting her hands on her hips, and giving attitude, all over a side of rice?! Then continues to complain about how she has to walk "all the way over there" PS: It was literally 3 feet away. And how it was wasting her time and it was holding up the line. If she wasn't busy giving an attitude and complaining, maybe she wouldn't have wasted that much time she was worried so much about. I understand that it may have been slightly inconvenient but IN WHAT WORLD are you allowed to yell at a child over something so small?!Not only that, but it was so loud that everyone else could have heard. Even more disappointing how no other employee would correct her or say anything to her. They all stood there and watched her yell at a child over rice and gravy....I WILL be going back. But not to eat.

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.
