When does Lucy's miss? Always hot and always delicious. No notes! Had the chicken fried steak, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, broccoli.

Came for Thanksgiving dinner. Portion size was good. Service was great. We went in an hour before closing and staff were very friendly and upbeat. We did not feel rushed to leave. All the food was delicious and they had plenty of pies. They did not have any cake options but I did attribute it to getting there so late they must of ran out. Free parking!

Luby's will always hold a special place in my heart. I live in CA, but grew up in The RGV. I grew up celebrating birthdays, graduations & anniversaries at a Luby's Cafeteria. My mother always said there was something for everyone here. The ambience is southern hospitality at its finest. The staff are attentive and service is great; staff are always willing to help. The food is nothing to write home about, but it's pure comfort food. My favorites are the fried fish and the chicken fried steak. I had always talked to the SO about Luby's & we finally made it! We split the fish and chicken fried steak and got two sides each... the Mac and cheese and I got the mashed potatoes and we also got the fries okra, and corn bread jalapeño muffins. Food was homey and a great value. We spent about $32 for the two of us and we took the cherry pie to go. Can't wait to be back when we are back in TX!

Fried Fish, broccoli, fried okra.

I've often bemoaned the "death" of Luby's Cafeteria but a visit to the Main Avenue location has resurrected this business in my lunchtime rolodex. The sights, smells, and bustle here took me back to the days of yore when Luby's sat at the pinnacle of the cafeteria world (at least in Texas). Fried fish, Chicken Fried Steak, Liver and Onions, Salisbury Steak, Enchiladas, Pork Chops, and more. Fried okra, mac&cheese, steamed broccoli, Salads, hot rolls, and copious desserts. Oh my! It was hot, fresh, flavorful, and conjures the childhood memories of good food in a wholesome atmosphere...San Antonio style. I'm glad we still have Luby's.

Fried food
Nicole O.

I have been coming to this location since I was little and I'm sad to say this location use to be much better back then. The customer service here has dropped significantly here. The staff that work the check out counter constantly rush you and are not pleasant at all. The food is decent but since it takes so long to get down the line and they have it feeling like a freezer in the building your food is cold by the time you sit down, not to mention my whole chicken fried steak fell out the breading I have never seen it do that before. I do understand this is a popular location but they definitely need to go back to having top tier service and food.

Lots of food
Franny A.

An old school cafeteria that's fun, value priced and true Texas culture & delicious. You can walk from downtown if you're adventurous like me- 20 minutes ish. The dining room is huge with lots of booths. Food is cafeteria style and it's delicious! I've had salmon, roasted chicken & whiting. There's fried chicken fried steak and cheese sauce. You won't go hungry . After 3 there's a senior special that's half price. Fun Texas style that's fading so go go go! Pro tip: jalapeño biscuits are

Senior LuAnn Platter
Mitzi M.

Who knew seniors (age 55+) get a discounted meal here? The Senior Luann Platter costs $7.99, which makes it cheaper than most fast food nowadays. The baked fish was much tastier than the fried fish. The green beans had no flavor at all, but the mashed potatoes were out of this world!

Burnt liver
JoAnna G.

My husband had fish with , broccoli and cheese, macaroni, and cheese & cornbread & his plate was perfect . I had liver and onions with mashed potatoes and fried okra . My liver looked fine on the top side but when I flipped it over it was all burnt I had to send some of it back to be replaced when I got to the second piece of liver and I flipped it over it was burnt as well. I wasn't going to send that back. I was over it already. Over half the booths were not bussed and they were filthy. They either had dirty trays, sitting on the them or they were not wiped down at all .

You would expect more and better choices for the prices we paid. About $80 for two adults and a midget. They had your typical fare. The least favs-ribs(tough/dry and no flavor), steak(tough and under seasoned), steam buns(the filling just no), bourbon chicken(dry chicken and not enough sauce), and the consensus least fav were all the desserts. There was flying bugs, and everything was super dry and tasted old. I get it, what do expect for a Chinese buffet in San Antonio? Well I expect no flying insects in the desserts for the price I paid. Also, 75 % of the fruit we got was as tough as the steak. Oh, and the cold shrimp, either overcooked or thawed the wrong way. The shell was practically glued on. The positives-all the rice and noodle dishes were good to ok. The hot and sour soup was really good! The teriyaki chicken was actually good. The bigger sauced rib was good. The kimchi was some of the better we've had recently. The spring rolls with peanut were good. The two fish dishes we had(fried and not fried) were actually quite nice. All the breads were good. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Almost forgot, the bathrooms were kinda gross. They need to be kept clean. Will not come back again.

I think I will some it up as jack of all trades but a master of none.

I did think their rice pudding dessert was delicious. I went on a Monday night and the price is 25 per adult.

The cooked meals are all swimming in oil which Mediterranean cuisine is very well known to be on the healthier side. If you are trying to be healthy definitely skip this place otherwise you would only be left with the salad bar. If they limited the usage of oil I will frequent it more. The price of the buffet is very reasonable they also have a good variety of dishes. The service is hit or miss the last time a dish was missing I asked and the person serving wasn't too friendly about it. I went back in about 10 minutes and still the tray was empty. If you haven't tried Mediterranean food this place is a good starting point to get introduced to many dishes all at once

I usually don't go into AYCE sushi restaurants in San Antonio with very high expectations but we…read morethought we'd give this spot a try. Sushi was decent and they had a pretty large menu to select from. $30.99 for all you can eat dinner isn't a bad deal at all especially with this economy. Fish was fresh and they seem to use good quality rice. I must say that the service was impeccable though. Super friendly staff that brought food out quickly and took away empty plates fast to make room for the food we ordered. Seemed like good teamwork among the employees.

Came in on a glorious Sunday with one clear objective…read more Get my money's worth. Now one thing I will always respect about America is the all you can eat model. No messing about. Just you, the menu, and a quiet understanding that nobody is leaving early. Brought Jimmy "The Hammer" along for this one. A dangerous man in this setting. His only complaint before we even sat down was that it wasn't all you can drink. Fair concern. Thirty dollars for the dinner menu. Fair play. That is about standard across the city. The real question is whether you can actually make it worth it. I started strong. Ten salmon nigiri. Ten tuna. Four shrimp. A couple white tuna. A couple yellowtail. Across the table, Jimmy didn't say much. Just kept eating. That's usually how you know things are going well. At some point it stops feeling like dinner and starts feeling like a bit of a challenge. You settle into it. Find your rhythm. No wasted movement. Then came the rainbow rolls. Two of them. Always my test. You can tell everything you need to know about a sushi spot from that one roll. Balance, freshness, attention to detail. This one delivered. Clean, refreshing, exactly what you want. Added some chicken skewers for good measure. Bit of char, bit of heat, keeps things grounded. Place was packed. Not chaotic, just busy in the right way. Staff stayed on top of it. Plates moving, orders landing, no one left waiting. By the end of it, I leaned back and took stock. Full. Satisfied. No regrets. Five stars.

I also noticed fresh food being mixed with older food instead of being properly replaced which was very concerning. When we tried to take fresher sushi from the back of the plate display, an employee gave us a hard time and made assumptions by speaking to us in Spanish. It was unnecessary and unprofessional. The biggest disappointment was the management. They were rude, dismissive & completely ignored my concerns instead of trying to resolve them. Customer service starts with management & this place failed. To make matters worse, the restroom smelled like someone was actively vaping THC, making it uncomfortable to even use. The only reason this isn't a 1 star review is because the servers did their jobs well by clearing plates and providing decent table service. Other than that, I would not recommend this buffet and definitely won't be coming back! ALSO BE ADVICED FOR PRICING, LUNCH IS $14.99 & NOT $12.99 07JUL2026 1:21 P.M.
