Morrison's Cafeterias was a chain of cafeteria-style restaurants, located in the Southeastern United States with a concentration of locations in Georgia and Florida. Generally found in shopping malls, Morrison's primary competition was Piccadilly Cafeterias. It was especially popular in Florida, with its high proportion of retirees.
The First Avenue North location in Birmingham was a popular gathering spot in the late 1940s and 1950s, even featuring live music.

The merger ended in bankruptcy, leaving 41 locations by 2003. That number is now down to 30, with Piccadilly sites spread across Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia.
