Located at 5474 Essen Lane, according to newspaper articles, the Baton Rouge Essen Lane Piccadilly originally opened March 1983 and in 2002 completed a inside-and-out renovation after a brief closure1, although my picture doesn't do it justice, if you look at Google Maps, between 2008 and 2011 it looks slightly different (awnings different, as well as a different logo, when it was still the full "Piccadilly Cafeteria").
I'd never eaten at Piccadilly (Cafeteria) before I went there in July 2024. They closed their last location in Texas in 2014 at the Almeda Mall (still locked as if it could reopen the next day--though it could use a vacuuming), so if I wanted to get Piccadilly on my trip it would have to be Louisiana. Maybe I just made a mistake with the fried fish but I think I still prefer Luby's as far as the fish went.
