    I went to this Lubys about 9 years ago and it was empty and the food wasn't great. Fast forward to now and I enjoyed my food. Something definitely has changed and lunch time was pretty busy. Wednesdays and Saturday are kids eat free. I wanted to take my kid to try some different food and take a break from cooking. His plate came with two big chicken tenders, 2 sides, a roll, jello, and a drink. Lots of food for a toddler and we took more than half of it home. I finally tried the fried fish. I want to say it is one of the most popular dishes and I liked it. My okra and mashed potatoes were pretty good. The roll was nice and soft, not warm, but soft. The servers are all very attentive and genuinely helpful. They keep the place clean and turnover seats quickly. Note: You get in line to order your food (like a cafeteria), but there are servers that can help bring your food to the table, bring you silverware/napkins , and refill your drinks. You'll want to have some cash to tip. I think most people leave a bucks or two per person.

    My empty plate delicious

    The food was great. Service excellent ordered a Luann special. The ambience was fine. Good lunch crowd.

    Liver and onions with cabbage, green beans, and cornbread
    David Y.

    I ordered one of my favorite Luby's meals via DoorDash - beef liver and onions with cabbage and green beans for sides. Unlike the Luby's on Tidwell, which was mediocre last time I went, the food from this one - even delivered - was excellent! The food arrived quickly, and it was still warm when I got it. I'd recommend this Luby's any day. Great homestyle southern American food!

    I first discovered Lubys when I moved to Austin, Texas, a zillion years ago. I liked it right off the bat. Back then, I didn't know the meaning of "Do you want white gravy or brown gravy?" I wasn't cooking back then, and I still don't today, but I soon learned a lot of people like white gravy, and I do now. I have enjoyed all their dishes, and when I need a balanced meal, it's off to Lubys. But I do go in between during those times too. At least once or twice a week when I was living in Austin. As always, I like the way the staff talked to you, asking how your day was, it seems everyone gets along. I like the feeling in the dining room, it reminds me of home during the holiday. Thank you

    Luann platter with Luby's Fried Fish
    Kathleen L.

    I hadn't been to Luby's since I was a kid and decided on a whim to give it a try. The service was good and it was fairly quick going through the line even though there were a lot of people ahead of us. I ordered the Luann platter with fried fish, Mac and cheese and green beans. The fish was good and the half portion was enough for me with the sides. Tatar sauce was tasty. The Mac and cheese was really good - I'd come back just for that! You might as well skip the rolls as they were bland and looked better than they tasted. The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff were attentive. Luby's is back on my radar and I look forward to trying different sides and entrees in the future.

    Fruit cup.  Fruit looks old

    I order online a simple order and nothing of it was right. First I order a spinach salad and I was given a regular lettuce salad. The soup gumbo show rice and did not include rice. The fruit salad was nothing like it showed in the picture, the fruit look old. Did not mind checking due to being in a hurry. Anyway, is been a while since I been to Luby's and I probably will not go back.

The good: Prices are good for the portions. The employees are super nice and friendly. It was late in the evening and they were crowded but you couldn't tell in their attitudes. The menu is plentiful and it was hard to choose. I waited about 30 minutes for my food but it was fine. They gave me a free koolaid for waiting. It was delicious! I froze it and enjoyed it so much. The opportunity: most of the main courses lacked seasoning. The fried pork chop was fried too hard and had no seasoning, the smothered pork chop was good and tender but no seasoning, the chicken wings, same thing. The catfish was seasoned very well and fried okra too. Overall: I ordered 4 plates: smothered pork chop with yams and fried okra. The sides were good. Macaroni and cheese, rice and gravy and cabbage was good. The green beans lacked any color or flavor. We did not eat the cornbread. Also ordered Fried pork chop with 2 sides, chicken wings with 2 sides and fried fish. It was enough food for 2 people to eat from each plate. I will go back on a different day and give them another chance. It might have been an off day for them. We loved the portion sizes. Everything I got came out to 80.00, which is excellent. They were out of a lot of things and all desserts were sold out. Have to get there early to get what you want.

    First time trying Chef's Table, a South African inspired ambient new American restaurant! The…read moreinterior is dark and moody, and features a lot of the chef's South African memoirs. You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!

We were seated in a booth that felt quite cramped for a business meeting. Next time, we'd likely request a more open, well-lit table. We ordered several dishes, but the Chilean sea bass was disappointing. It was dry, lacked the buttery texture it's known for, and was quite bland. We also requested a side of hot sauce, but that request was overlooked. To end the meal, we planned to order coffee and toffee instead of dessert. After waiting nearly 30 minutes, we were told the coffee machine had broken. Unfortunately, by then the server seemed eager to wrap things up and didn't really give us the opportunity to consider any other after-meal options. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and we can see why it's popular, but the food execution and service fell short of our expectations, especially for a business lunch. We hope these issues were just an off day, as we'd like to give it another chance.
