    Thanksgiving Display

    My annual thanksgiving meal at Luby's to enjoy Turkey and Stuffing LuAnn Platter. They are extremely consistent in their cooking and love their food. Once again the turkey was tasty and the stuffing delightful. In the past year have dined here several times and recommend the square fried fish and fried chicken. I noticed the pork chops and will give it a try on my next visit. The service and atmosphere is always excellent, and the cafeteria is always perfectly clean. It's great place to bring your elderly parents or grandparents to.

    $19!

    Not much to complain about since this is really a bang for your buck type meal! You get what you see and pay fore. I grew up eating southern food in cafeteria Styled restaurants just like Luby's and it really brought me nostalgia and comfort. For a first timer here, it's a lot to take in. I wish the food bar had more labels cause there were none. The food on the hot bar looks fresh and hot lol. My partner and I Were interested in many things but settled for a steak and fried chicken. Sides looked delicious as well but we weren't going to grab everything as we knew we weren't going to finish it all. I got a buttered corn side and cabbage side plus a wheat roll with my entree. And my Husband grabbed mac and cheese and cornbread for his steak. Most items were rather on the salty side but that's okay. The dining area was clean, has high chairs, and very nice patrons who kept my daughter entertained while we ate, Our total was $19 for food items which you pay before sitting down and we left a cash tip after our meal! Would definitely return!

    Pork chop dinner

    Luby's...well...it's for a particular crowd. It's got homey vibes with an older clientele. I got the blackened tilapia and my daughter got the pork chop. It comes with 2 sides and bread, I think? No one really explained how it worked and since we were new customers, we just went with the flow. My kid wanted a dessert, but the plastic boxes were too hard to peruse with a line behind us. The price was fine for what we got, but with a run down atmosphere and buffet style table service, I don't know if it was all worth it. I'll be frank. This is the type of place you end up at when you're hangry, not close enough to something you really want, nor can everyone decide on what they want. It's a place holder. But, I must say the older crowd seemed to love it. They sat around like it was their dining room. Fish was cooked well, but the sadly pork chop was dry. The sides were fine, nothing notable. I won't be back, but I wish the place well for the sake of their die hard frequent customers.

    Fresh made pies and cakes displayed perfectly.

    A great memory of Luby's that I hope is available for years for all those who grew up eating in cafeterias like Luby's, Piccadilly, Furr's, Wyatt's and Morrisons along with the many other mom and pop cafeterias that were and still are mainstays in their communities with generational customers. The Luby's on W Slaughter at the time of these photos was at the top of their game and I always enjoying dining there every opportunity I could. There's something for everyone which is why Luby's has been a choice for families in Texas for many decades.

    Wilted side Tossed Salad

    I ordered on the TOGO side of the restaurant. I was so excited to eat at Luby's to get back to work and find cold broccoli the size of my hand! Cold cheese steak, and a wilted brown tossed salad. $15.78 for cold food, did not seem fresh. I am very disappointed in Luby's.

    The food line, several options here although I didn't see a vegetarian entree

    When I was growing up, my family would frequently make the 40 min trip to my grandmother's house and we would all go out to Luby's (in Houston, not Austin)... The decor is a little more updated, the menu seems to have a bit fewer selections, but the experience is 100% authentic, some (cough cough) 45 years later. The food is actually pretty good considering it's sitting out on the serving line under hotlamps (lots and lots of hotlamps). It's your traditional cattle car kind of service, line up, grab a tray and make your way through the serving line - (think school cafeteria with better food). The prices seem ok to me, the portions were fine and for the first time I saw (real brewed) Ice Tea on tap. How cool is that. They don't have one out near where I live, which is ok, going there once every 10 years or so gives me all the nostalgia fix I need these days. Grandma would feel right at home here.

    Can't beat the service and the food is always just like Mom would make. I'm hopeful that South Austin can keep the Slaughter location.

    Food was excellent. The line was kind of long but they are efficient and move pretty fast. I would definitely recommend.

    So that was D-freaking-licious. What a great place to brunch! This was my first time at Paperboy…read moreSouth, and now it has burned itself into my brain for future visits to Austin. Great vibe, interesting menu, friendly but unobtrusive service... digging it. We started with some ricotta toast, a first for me, but man whenever I find this again... it will be ordered. Wow, what a great flavor with the fluffy ricotta, tangy fruit and glaze. This was a revelation for me. Honestly, right now cannot remember the name of my specific dish, but honestly it was like a brunchy carnitas platter, and I was here for it. Nothing like BYO tacos with a brunch spin. I just remember loving it. Great visit, thanks Paperboy South!

    Finally got to try this place. I've tried the east side location and man, it's hard to get in…read more Came with another friends and we sat on the outside patio. Really enjoy that the patio is fully covered, yes if it were to be a windy, rainy day may not work out but for the most part this was great. They have a take out window for orders as well. Inside looked quaint with bright lighting. I got the pancakes cause it was recommended and they weren't too shabby. Would I say they are the best? No, tasty, yes. Friends got other dishes, of course I don't remember what they were but they did enjoy. Make a reservation and try them out. Parking was also convenient and they validate.

    Tried the Loro x Siete: Backyard BBQ collab at Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar and it was such a fun…read morehappy hour bar experience. Loro is an Asian smokehouse and bar featuring grilled and smoked meats with Southeast Asian and Japanese-inspired sauces, sides, and a bar that boasts craft beer, boozy slushees, and batch cocktails. Parking at this location is a bit of a challenge. They have overflow parking in the back but the spots are really small. We sat at the bar area and worked our way through cocktails, apps, and dessert. We opened a tab and the bar staff takes your order which is convenient, versus how you normally have to order by waiting in line at the bar. The bar staff was extremely busy because they have to make all the cocktails and take the line orders at the bar. They are a master of multitasking. It was $3 martini night on Tuesday, so was excited to sample the four different drink options. lychee martini, Mexican martini, and Lucky Cat cosmo martini. Lychee martini is made with new amsterdam vodka, sake, elderflower, Mexican martini with espolon blanco, olive, yuzu, lime and cosmo with vodka, blood orange, naranja, lime. The lychee was hands down my favorite of the three. We started with the Dip Sampler that included a trifecta of smoked shishito queso, smoked salmon dip and Thai green salsa with the Siete blue corn tortilla chips. We went through the chips quickly and got a second round of wonton chips which I preferred to the Siete chips. Tried the Mango Chamoy frozen Slushee with Siete Chamoy Botana Sauce & Siete Chile Lime Seasoning Rim, passionfruit, Aperol, Sake and Sparkling Wine which was refreshing. All their boozy slushies are $5 during happy hour. Ordered the oak grilled edamame from the happy hour menu and it was a flavor explosion with a dusting of serracha powder, lemon zest and white sesame. For dinner, I ordered my go-to rice bowl with coconut-scented rice, seasonal pickles, thai herbs and steak as the protein. They normally served this with Bavette, but the steak was a bit tough and chewy this time. Finished everything off with cheesecake with five spice crumble, yuzu marmalade for dessert. The vibe at the bar was relaxed and lively without feeling overwhelming, and the collab menu felt creative without trying too hard. The ingredients are very thoughtful for a fully developed flavor profile. Just what I would expect from the culinary minds of Tyson Cole and Aaron Franklin. Definitely one of the regulars in my list when craving good cocktails with a casual but elevated food menu.

    This is good for a group hang since everyone orders at the bar. Which is also one of the bad things…read moreabout Loro because as soon as you get there, you have to go to the bar to order or try to grab a table and wait for others to go to the bar and order while you hold the table and then you go up to the bar. They really need to implement QR ordering like they have in movie theaters. The food was well presented and creative. All of the dishes were a little bit on the saucy side and a little bit salty but good overall. If you go for dinner and sit outside, make sure you get one of the fly fans to keep the flies at bay otherwise they descend with a vengeance. $3 martini nights (but they can't do an NA martini) so it was pretty packed but I'm told it's always packed. Parking is a little difficult since there's so many people but it wasn't too bad. Just make sure you don't park at a store that's open or you will get a boot.
