I hadn't been here in yrs so we decided to grab lunch. The restaurant hasn't changed much and the abundance of items are still there. I wanted to get a turkey legs but they didn't have any so I decided to get the fried swai fish dinner. The fish was fried perfectly, just the right amount of seasoning but not over powering. My sides were the okra and stuffing. The okra was delicious and the stuffing while ok wasn't as good as I remember it to be. The rolls are still fresh baked and fluffy. For dessert I got a small peach cobbler to go. I would recommend Piccadilly's peach cobbler over peach cobbler factorys any day of the week!!!!!. In these economic times to get two full course home cooked meals for $28 is such a great deal. I would recommend this location.

Picadilly is a chain of cafeteria style restaurants found mainly in the south and Gulf Coast. The first Piccadilly Cafeteria opened in 1932 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Picadilly was bought by T.H. "Tandy" Hamilton in 1944. In 1988 they purchased another cafeteria chain, Morrison's Cafeterias which was founded by J. A. Morrison in 1920. At their height, there was 270 restaurants but poor management led to bankruptcy in 2003 and again in 2012 and they were sold off to Yucaipa Companies and Diversified Investment Management Group. By 2012 they were down to only 41 locations. South Florida had two Piccadilly Cafeterias, one in Hialeah at the Westland Mall and on the Palm Springs Mile. Both are now closed butthere is a Facebook page dedicated their memory. Today there are only two locations left in Florida, Jacksonville and this one in Hollywood! I couldn't believe there was still one left here and I made it a point to stop by for lunch.' As soon as I walked in I was flooded with nostalgia. Even the decor looks the same as I remembered. You grab a try and slide it down the line telling them what you want added to your plate. Meals include a protein, two sides, and a bread. You can add more sides for an additional price. They also have a selection of desserts of cakes, pies, and cobblers. Expect to find homestyle dishes like chicken, teriyaki chicken, fish, and fried shrimp. Vegetarians can order the four vegetable plate. I had the roast beef drenched in au jus, carrot souffle, and broccoli rice au gratin. It was all as good as I remembered, especially the decadent carrot souffle which is a dessert in itself. I just found a copycat recipe for the Picadilly carrot souffle and it is getting added to the Easter dinner menu. So many of our memories are associated with food and this was like a warm hug from the past. I started to tell a server how excited I was that there was still a Picadilly left and she said honey we hear that all the time. I gather a lot of their diners come here for the memories. So many of us grew up eating at cafeteria style restaurants with beloved family members no longer here. Eating here is a way to connect to the past. The restaurant was filled on the week day I visited so hopefully they will be here for a long time to come. I am already planning a visit back with a family member who is going to be elated to come here.

Chopped steak with onions

This place is nostalgic. I thought all of the locations were closed until we rode past this location while visiting South Florida. I had to do a uturn for some takeout. Ordered the chopped steak and fish & shrimp and everything was delicious!! It definitely took me back to my childhood. Prices are reasonable and the staff was nice. The building could use a little TLC, but at least they are still open.

My family and I went to Piccadilly cafeteria for our annual New Year's day dinner. The restaurant was very clean, especially around the different food stations. We were greeted by each server and host, as we made our way through the line. As we paid for our food, we had a host that came and took our trays to our tables which was greatly appreciated. I decided to try their blackened catfish, with a side of black-eyed peas and carrots soufflé. This catfish was amazing! I was given a nice portion size; the catfish was seasoned very well and tender. The vegetables on top of the catfish tasted great as well. The food was so good, I almost forgot to take a picture of it lol. My favorite side dish from them has always been the carrot soufflé. Also this was my first time trying their black-eyed peas, and the peas were great. As always I can't wait to return to this restaurant.

Fried fish, steamed broccoli, sautéed squash, mashed potatoes, roll.  Good, but not hot.

So I haven't been to Picadilly since my days in Houston, so it was cool to wax nostalgic with a meal at an old favorite spot. For years, I've pretty much gotten the same meal every time that I visit Picadilly - fried fish, mashed potatoes, broccoli, roll. Overall, the meal was good but I take issue with instant mashed potatoes. No way should a relatively good meal be totally jacked with instant anything! Otherwise, no complaints. Staff was friendly and engaging, which made for a pleasant experience.

My Easter dinner

It was a nice and inexpensive restaurant. My family and I really appreciate the helpfulness of the staff and they were very accommodating to our party size. Our waiter (which I can't remember his name) was really attentive and kind hearted. He really did make our Easter very special.

As a little girl, I often joined my grandmother and mother on their outings to Piccadilly. My grandmother passed when I was six, but despite this, the tradition lived on with my mother and I. We would frequent the Hialeah locations, because lucky us, we had two. Unfortunately those days are long gone and done. The two Piccadilly locations we had near home have been gone for quite some time. Had it not been for a Google search, I wouldn't have even known there were still some left in the world, much less Florida. The Hollywood location is one of two locations left in Florida, the other being far north in Jacksonville. How fortunate am I that Hollywood is around half an hour away from home? Anyway, I went on Sunday with my boyfriend and some friends to see if Piccadilly was what I so happily had in my childhood. Newsflash: It was pretty darn close! Maybe it wasn't what I remembered in terms of payment. I recall getting food, asking for more at the table, and then when walking out, paying and getting Andes mints. Now you pay at the end of the cafeteria line, there are no mints, but the staff still circulates to see if you'd like a refill or more food. I also recall the desserts being last, not first, but things change. Fortunately, the food hasn't. The fried chicken is still amazing, as is the corn and the bread. I wish I had gotten some cherry pie, but they had none that day. Instead I got apple pie and it was pretty good. Ended up with a side of broccoli as an extra side came with the fried chicken. With my meal and my boyfriend's meal, I think my boyfriend ultimately spent $30, which wasn't bad at all. Would I return? Certainly! But definitely plan on making another outing after because you'll be in and out before you know it. I don't think we even spent an hour there and there were five of us!

So much food!

Their food is always good and it's an easy place for that home cooked dinner feel low key with a group.

If you asked me what is good here. One 5hing comes to mind right away, chicharrones and it is…read moresomething I always get. They get the skin just right and it's crispy and good. My favorite thing here are 5he chicharrones. The Cuban coffee is great. I sometimes get the Cuban sandwich and always liked it. The restaurant has a window outside that you can order without coming inside. It is convenient for takeout. The customer service is not so good sometimes if you use the window. I feel it takes a little extra to get the attention of the counter person. They are always on a personal conversation. The restaurant has good daily specials. They are always posted at the entrance. It is a local's favorite. The price and food and always good here.

Wow! On a recent crowded Sunday morning we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, that was actually quite…read morereasonable. My breakfast included coffee Cuban & toast along with eggs, bacon, and some of the best home fries I've had. The café con leche was so good! Just the way I like it with a hint of sweetness. Señor Café gives coffee shop/bistro vibes. Our server was friendly and patient with me as I practiced my Spanish. One minor thing, though I prefer my bacon a little more crispy, but that is just a personal preference. The price we paid for the quantity and quality of food was unbelievable. Next time we were here, we will definitely be back.
