Mom on the Go: Best family restaurant?
A hankering for fried chicken led us to a Piccadilly in Hollywood.
The cafeteria-style restaurant is the closest I can get to Morrison's Cafeteria. There were many Sunday afternoons spent in the carpeted dining room of the Skylake Mall restaurant "dining" on the Blue Plate special or inhaling the fried shrimp.
At Piccadilly, I had the three-piece chicken dinner with two sides for $7.49. A drink and side order of fresh fruit tipped my portion to $11. My husband had the chicken pot pie topped with a biscuit and two sides for $4.99.
A fantastic deal for a family, right?
We shared portions of our meals with the toddler.
Do you know of a better place for a family to get a great meal for less than $10 per person?
