    Thanksgiving Display
    Paul D.

    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

I'm still leaving a five star review bc the food is delicious and healthy, but I wanted to give the feedback that I'm disappointed with a couple of changes they have made. They used to have beets as an option for the salad, which I used to get added on every time. It was part of what helped me choose to come in here to eat healthy. I'm also disappointed with their "healthy fats" selection. They used to have almonds and I believe also walnuts for a while. They now have taken away all nuts except for praline covered nuts. Which is too sweet for me. They do still have sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as an option. And also avocado for extra money, but I was very disappointed today with my purchase bc of not having beets as an option or any nuts to add to my salad. REALLY hope they decide to bring those back.

    I'm gonna be honest... I'm not much of a salad person cause I love to leave it to the rabbits and I…read morecall salads "Rabbit food" lol. However, I must say that MAD Greens makes some MAD GOOD salads. My go to is the spicy bacon bowl with boil eggs. I feel better about my life when I order this because I'm getting my greens in, getting my protein with the chicken, and I'm actually enjoying my rabbit food (aka salad). This is a must have for me. Coming from a non salad person ( I know... it's okay to judge me) I really enjoy their salads and their spicy bacon bowl makes me happy. Another food item that I love is their Mac and cheese. It's so tasty. I love it here and love their salads because the greens taste fresh. #madgoodness

Ever since Amazon took over whole foods their deli and salads area are so meh, bland and not fresh. I used to live in Long Beach CA and I would go up to LA for work a few times a month. I would look forward to those days when my accounts would ask to pick up Mendocino farms for lunch. All the salads delish. Always the most in-season veggies, freshly made salad dressings and it was just all the things I LOVE and really miss being so land locked here in Central Texas. 8/10. Service- the culture vibes are here. Friendly, helpful, efficient 8/10 Restaurant-fun, clean, quirky as I remember it.. cows hanging on the ceiling. 9/10 Food- I had the Crispy Rice Salad with tofu. -And a large side of the couscous (I LOVE that couscous... its creamy, light, the texture is fun and its super as a side or adds a boost to any salad or sandwich). -the salad greens crisp, rice was an amazing crunch. -dressing was soo good! Umami yet bright and light -all the extra veggies at the peak of season. Just chefs kiss! Ps: LOVE how the dressing has its own "home" in the to-go container. -points taken off for the tofu.. it was SUPER salty. Not sure if that is always the way or it was just a bit heavy handed today. It was not edible (bummer). The salad and the large couscous lasted me 4 meals. They pack a LOT of salad in that to go container. Is it worth for "just a salad or sandwich" here. YES! You will realize how GREAT good high sourced veggies taste when you eat here. Im so glad there is a piece of Cali here in Austin! I haven't had this level of greens in over 3 yrs since moving to ATX. The seasonal teas looked amazing-thats for next time! Come try it for yourself. Do a date day, girlfriends lunch. Its just so yummy!

The food is solid, but basic... Jason's Deli offers a variety of sandwiches, salads and soups. My usual order is the Manager's Special, which comes with a half sandwich, chips and a side. For those needing something heartier, I recommend getting the full size. I always order the Chicken Panini (grilled chicken, provolone, pesto aioli, spinach, and tomato on sourdough) with the Spicy Seafood Gumbo. Strangely, the gumbo is solid!

The potatoes were so good. For mains we had the chicken and steak... two pastas. The rigatoni and the agnolotti . The agnolotti was disappointing. It felt like it was so overcooked it felt like soup but it was still very tasty. The chicken was really good. Finally for dessert we had all three options The lemon olive cake, bread and butter pudding and chocolate mousse. The latter was too rich for me but the olive cake oh my goodness... tasted like a delicious home made moist cake it was so good. I wanted to take home an extra slice. Overall great service.. great food... very nice cute restaurant. Please be aware they put a 20% gratuity on tables 5 and above so that was part of our check.

There is a very small building with indoor seating, but it only has a restroom and a handful of small tables. I do want to give the benefit of a doubt as I was part of a fairly large group meet up, so some of the delays in service and getting food was probably due to the large number of people for a very small kitchen. I also 100% have to blame the meet up organizers for not letting us know it was outdoors! The place is BYOB although they do have a selection of bottles nonalcoholic drinks. Even though it was outdoor seating at picnic tables, there was one girl taking orders, and another guy delivering food, we did have to wait a bit for our food, but the point of the meet up was chatting and socializing so it wasn't a huge deal. The food arrived hot and was pretty good. My main complaint is that the portion seemed a little small for the price point, I got the Tom Kha soup and $13 for a pint of soup and a scoop of rice seemed high. The flavor of the broth was good but there were definitely more onions than chicken! That being said I liked that the spice level didn't seem to be lowered- I got a 3/5 and it definitely made my nose run a bit XD All in all I think to really get an accurate read I'd have to try again under more normal circumstances.

It's one of those places that's reliable and feels pretty consistent, knowing you're going to leave happy and full after eating here. The two times we've been there, theres always plenty of seating and are able to walk right in. It's a walk in and seat yourself experience and then you pay upon leaving. The staff keeps the dining area and buffet line consistently stocked and clean. They even provide hand sanitizer and gloves for you. Even when foot traffic picked up while we were there, the food was replenished quickly and didn't look picked over. Now let's talk food...Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and like it was made with care instead of just being "buffet food" an under seasoned. The variety is also amazing, and it's easy to build a plate for pretty much any type of diet whether you're keto, high protein, balanced, veggie-forward, vegan, etc... Some of our favorite dishes we keep coming back for: Shredded beef (SO good), Baked fish (tender and not fishy), Garlic baked chicken (wonderful crispy skin), Fried chicken, Baked kafta, Kafta kebab, Gyro meat, Roasted cauliflower, Eggplant, Greek salad, Fatoush, Kale Caesar salad, Zaatar pizza, Cheese pizza (pro tip: top it with shredded beef- a life changing buffet hack), Rice with lentils, Rice with mixed veggies. For the quality, variety and amount of food you get, this is easily one of the best deals in the city! It's rare to find a buffet that's both affordable and consistently this good! If I had one small wish, it would be for desserts to match how strong the rest of the food is. They're not bad, just a little more "fine" compared to how amazing everything else is. I've seen another Dimassi's (I think in Cali) that had a frozen yogurt machine and I'd LOVE to see that here because it would be the perfect finish! Make a cup and then crumble up some baklava on it! Overall we've LOVED it here and we'll absolutely keep coming back! Great food, clean, consistent, and worth it every time!

    In my family, we really like Demassi's. Not necessarily because everything there is amazing, but…read morebecause there is genuinely something to please everyone. Between me, my husband, and my mom, we have a lot of overlap in what we like to eat, but we also have some pretty distinct preferences, and Demassi's is one of those places where that works. My husband really loves Middle Eastern / Mediterranean food. I generally do not. I tend to find the meats too dry, I don't particularly like the spice profile, and I also find a lot of dishes in that category to be overly sour. It's hard to explain, but there's often a sharp, tangy acidity that I don't enjoy. For whatever reason, I don't have that issue at Demassi's at all. Here my husband can get his fix of dry, spiced meats, while I'm happy eating from the huge selection of rice dishes, cooked veggies, and soups. As far as protein goes, I actually really like the fish here, so I almost never eat the meat and still leave satisfied. It usually feels like a healthy pescatarian day for me, which I like. Then there's my mom, who just loves the abundance and variety of a buffet. She's happiest when she can sample a little bit of everything, build plates with lots of small bites, and then go back for more. Demassi's is perfect for that. On top of all of this, it's very reasonably priced, especially for lunch or on weeknights. It's always clean, the staff is consistently courteous, and they are really on top of bussing tables, which matters a lot to me at a buffet. Dirty dishes piling up are never an issue here. Overall, it's a solid, reliable spot for us and a place we're always happy to suggest when we're trying to please multiple people with different tastes.
