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. -

I love Piccadilly... it's a childhood favorite! Yet they just keep declining throughout the years. Food is great (fried chicken has always been my fav), but they need to improve the interior of the restaurant. It feels dirty and very outdated. There was mold visible all over the air vents.
The ladies serving the food need an attitude adjustment, won't hurt for them to smile. Heck, the servers are so much nicer than them!!
Piccadilly... please renovate this location! I don't care if that means raising the prices of the food, there's a moldy smell in this restaurant, carpet has got to go, bring in some new trays and utensils, and retrain the staff to display positive attitude on the job! -

Ahhh to be young again. One of my childhood memories relived. Years ago when I was a little tyke my family and I would take the family car and head over to Picadilly for a good, comfort meal served cafeteria style. Alas, those days are gone as many Piccadilly's have gone by the wayside here in South Florida, except for 1!!!! Yes Picadilly is still alive and well in Hollywood so that's where we headed..to relieve my childhood
Upon parking and going in the first thing you notice is the old school decor of the establishment (brings back memories)
The concept of picadilly is simple..you pick a tray and go down the line a la cafeteria style choosing what you want to eat and drinking and then at the end paying for what you order (each entree comes with 2 sides). I chose the fried chicken since that's what i would get with kernel corn and black eyed peas as sides and Black Forest cake for dessert
You will be pleasantly surprised that the quality of the food was very good for the price and those sides are no joke; they make look small in quantity but they will fill you up in a hurry.
The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy with perfect taste (just like I used to have it). If you want to bring back memories of home-style comfort food served cafeteria style then head on over to Piccadilly's. -

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!
