Lloyd's is a casual family restaurant located on U. S. Highway 280. It was founded in 1937 by Lloyd Chesser in a small building in Chelsea. When Chesser retired in 1971, it was purchased by Eli Stevens, the father-in-law of Hamburger Heaven's Pete Flach. Stevens relocated the restaurant to its present site across from Perrin's Grocery in 1978. At the time they were among the few businesses on the 280 corridor outside of Birmingham.

The restaurant is well known for its hamburger steaks, onion rings and sweet iced tea.
