In a city where traffic jams are common time-wasters, Piccadilly Cafeteria is serving up a game-changer for hungry Atlantans on the go.
After months of anticipation, the beloved Southern staple is set to unveil its first-ever drive-thru To-Go window this Friday, November 21, transforming the classic cafeteria experience into a seamless, speed-of-life affair.
Piccadilly To-Go Window Ushers in a New Era of Quick Southern Comfort
The revamped Piccadilly promises to blend its timeless comfort food lineup—think flaky fried chicken, creamy macaroni and cheese, and those irresistible yeast rolls—with the convenience of a drive-thru lane.
“We’re almost there!” the team teased on social media this week, sharing glimpses of ladders and last-minute touch-ups.
The grand opening marks a milestone for the chain, which has been a fixture in Georgia dining since its early days dishing out homestyle meals to families and workers alike.

“Swing by, roll through the drive-thru, and be one of the FIRST to experience the newest era of Piccadilly!” the announcement urged, complete with fire emojis and hearts to match the excitement.

The Decatur location, nestled near the bustling interchange of I-285 and Candler Road, has drawn loyal crowds for decades with its steam-table bounty and self-serve charm.
This drive-thru addition couldn’t come at a better time, as post-pandemic habits have more of us craving grab-and-go options without sacrificing flavor.
