“First off let me apologize for the photo attached to this review. As soon as my order was delivered to the table I started munching away and enjoying the sandwich and soup so much that I didn't take a picture until half of it was gone. A friend from work had recommended I try this business years ago but since there isn't one right near my home it took me a while to drive near enough to one and today was that day. I was not at all disappointed by my first visit. Notice that they had a wide variety of chicken salad combinations. Some were savory, some were fruity and others were more traditional. I selected the basil and lemon chicken salad and ordered it as BLT on wheat toast. Selected a cup of their Friday soup special which was tomato bisque to go with my combo. Thoroughly enjoyed both. Don't know if I will ever order any of their fruity chicken salad mixes, not really my thing - but will definitely try some of their other savory chicken salads. Well worth the extra miles to get a wonderful sandwich and soup combination.“

“I would give this restaurant 5 stars if the service matched the quality of the food. The food is great. The service is atrocious, incredibly slow and neglectful and deserves 1 star. But again, the food is their saving grace. I hope they can get it together in terms of front of the house operations.“

Julia's Southern Kitchen x Powered by Piccadilly Southern • $
3332 S Sherwood Forest Blvd, Baton Rouge - 7.25 miles

“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.“
