Piccadilly has been in business for more than 74 years for one major reason: our team. From management to hourly team members, members of the Piccadilly team are the best. Many have made a career with Piccadilly. Piccadilly Cafeteria first opened in 1932 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Twelve years later, a budding restaurateur by the name of T. H. Hamilton took the reins with hopes of growing the business. Today, we have 30 restaurants, including Piccadilly To-Go locations, and over 80 food service locations all across the southeast. Since day one, our goal has been to serve up homestyle comfort to every person who walks through our door. With guest favorites like Fried Chicken, Carrot Soufflé and our famous desserts, there's always something for everyone at Piccadilly.
