Lloyd's is a casual family restaurant located on U. S. Highway 280. It was founded in the late 1930s 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 in 1978. At the time it was one of only a few businesses on the 280 corridor outside of Birmingham.

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