Healthy Eating at Picadilly Cafeteria! Great for the Vegetarian Dinner!

Are you a veggie lover looking for a place to eat a healthy meal? Healthy restaurants that serve a variety of vegetables can be hard to find in many areas. That's why I love PIcadilly Cafeteria! You can get a veggie friendly meal at a reasonable price. Of course, if you're not a vegetable lover, this value priced cafeteria still has alot to offer.

When you enter the food line at Piccadilly, you may encounter a significant wait on a busy night. I don't know about you, but I hate to wait! If you don't enjoy standing in line, go after 7:30 P.M when you can usually go through the cafeteria line fairly quickly.

Upon reaching the food selection counter, you're greeted with an array of enticing food selections. You'll first see a variety of interesting salads not often seen at sit down restaurants including green salads, old fashioned cole slaw, jello salads, bean salads, and many more. These are the kind of old fashioned salads that your grandmother used to make.. It's like stepping back in time!

Next, you'll be greeted with the entree selection station where you'll find a group of entrees which change on a daily basis but may include such selections as broiled and fried fish, fried chicken, hamburger steak, turkey, roast beef, ham, chicken and dumplings, and country fried steak. The meat entrees tend to be fried and have rather heavy servings of gravy, so if you're watching your fat intake or counting calories, you might want to consider the baked fish which is usually available.

Next you'll arrive at the vegetable station. This is the section where Picadilly Cafeteria shines over other restaurants. . It's hard to find a better selection of old fashioned egetables. You'll find such offerings as green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, fresh broccoli, fried okra, corn, black eyed peas, greens, lima beans, succoutash etc. The vegetables tend to be lightly seasoned making them tasty, although portion size is a bit small.

As you approach the bread section, you'll find many offerings including deliciious, homemade dinner rolls. These sweet smelling creations are quite satisfying when topped off withreal butter the cafeteria offers. If rolls are not your style, you'll also find country biscuits, corn bread, and occasionally old fashioned spoon bread.

Picadilly Cafeteria offers a tempting selection of desserts at a fantastic price. If you bought these desserts in a restaurant, you'd likely pay two to three times as much. You're sure to be tempted by the selection of their fragrant, freshly baked pies. On any day, you might find delicious chocolate merinque, pecan, coconut cream, and a variety of fruit pies. You can also choose from a variety of cakes and cobblers. It's hard to get past this section without putting one of these temptations on your tray!

Lastly, you can select your drink which include a selection of soft drinks, iced tea, and coffee. Of course, you get free refills on tea and coffee.

When you finish your meal and stroll up to the checkout counter to pay, you'll surely have a smile on your face as you settle your check. You got alot of food for quite a reasonable price. You didn't even have to leave a tip since this is cafeteria dining where a tip isn't required.

One drawback to cafeteria style dining is the lack of atmosphere. Although I've found service at Picadilly Cafeteria to be generally good, the ambience is certainly different then you'll encouter at a fine dining restaurant. Your meal may be interrupted by the sounds of screaming children or the sound of cafeteria trays hitting one another. I tend to overlook the atmosphere since tis' such a great value overall.

I would recommend Piccadilly Cafeteria for the nice variety of food offerings, particularly vegetables. I like the fact that it doesn't cost a fortune to eat there. If you're looking for a meal that has that old fashioned, homemade taste, Piccadilly is the place to dine.
