Piccadilly Restaurants is an American chain of cafeteria-style, casual dining restaurants in seven, mainly southeastern United States with the majority located in the Gulf Coast region. They are owned by Piccadilly Holdings LLC.

In addition to its traditional restaurants, Piccadilly operates Piccadilly Emergency Services, which provides meals in emergency and disaster settings, and Piccadilly Food Service, which offers meals for schools, hospitals and government organizations.

Piccadilly Restaurants, known for Southern comfort food, began when Thomas J. Costas opened the first cafeteria in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1932. Tandy Hannibal Hamilton purchased the business in 1944, growing it into a major regional chain. After expanding, acquiring rival Morrison’s Cafeterias in 1998, and undergoing several ownership changes and bankruptcies, it operates today under Falcon Holdings.
