    My younger sister bought cookbook with Luby's pie recipes, and made a few of the pies this Thanksgiving! They were great! I got to have original recipes Chess Pie and Pumpkin Pie!!! :) Luby's uses updated or changed recipes, and it's not the same. My mom and had Thanksgiving lunch at Luby's and it was great. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful! Even though the food is served cafeteria style, we tipped. These workers put their families on hold for later so that we could enjoy our Thanksgiving and for that we are blessed and thankful. Thank you Luby's!

    This is a review on the Texas chicken N' Waffle only, available only during breakfast this location in Mcallen on weekends. It's a weekend morning, and my goal and treat to myself for the week was to seek out a chicken and waffle combo. To show you how much of a foodie I am I even went to the length of using google to find out who offered it in the area. Yelp has been acting funny lately, so had to be resourceful. I come across a link that talks about how Luby's is offering a sit down breakfast menu as opposed to the usual cafeteria/buffet style. Included in the menu is Texas chicken n' waffles. Right away, I made it my goal of the week to seek it out I mean its got Texas, chicken, and waffles all in one phrase, what's there not to like? Fortunately, one of the locations they offered this was located in McAllen. NOTE: Not all Luby's offer the sit down breakfast menu. Ambiance: the place is nice with booths and regular tables available as well as Tvs. The staff is pleasant and accommodating. Presentation: As you can see in the pix, the presentation was good. Taste: Hmm....I've eaten a of waffles so I have become particular. The waffle texture seemed to light as if there wasn't enough batter in the mix. The fried chicken was simple and good but not great. I sense that maybe in the rush they didn't let the chicken rest in paper towels before placing on the waffle, since the waffle seemed to have a fried oil taste. The chipotle sauce was good and paired well with the chicken. At $9.99, I felt it could have been better, but based on web link I read, this menu is still on its trial stage, so I hope it improves over time.

If it were busy I get it but when there is only 2 tables in the restaurant come on. Yet when the men in suits walk in they waited not even a minute and had thier menus at the table. I hadn't even finished my food when she was asking if we wanted the tab already. I should have asked if she was kicking us out already. My husband felt like we were being judged and treated like we didnt have money. Then when she brings us our change she is standing there waiting for the tip. I am a server myself and never treat guest based on how they are dressed and much less wait for a tip.

    This is a review of my experience at Oak on South 10th on 12-4-25 at 6:00PM…read more Honestly, there isn't much to review. Staff didn't even acknowledge me or take my order in the 20 minutes I was there waiting at the bar. The place wasn't busy, there were maybe 3 other pairs of people at the bar and 2 tables taken up. It was 6 PM on a Thursday so the place was close to empty. The bartender was too busy talking to the barback and didn't even take my order. In that time, he checked on other customers at the bar then returned to his conversation with his coworker. It's never good for a bartender to do the rounds and ignore a client that hasn't yet been served ESPECIALLY on a slow night. This type of treatment can make a client feel profiled or discriminated against. Nothing else to say about this, never going back and I'll gladly recommend other places to people looking for a GOOD bar in McAllen.

The ambiance is that if a five star establishment one goes to when celebrating a special occasion. It's exclusively an indoor dining establishment. That said, expect to pay a pretty penny for your meal and drinks. As for the food, it's not worth the price you pay, in both portion size AND taste. They have gone above and beyond to make this more of your typical pretentious and Instagram'able establishment. That said, I had a fantastic time sitting at the bar and enjoying nice company.

During our first brunch visit, the waitstaff's enthusiastic recommendations felt a bit overwhelming--almost to the point of pressure--but we chalked it up to eagerness to help new guests get acquainted with the menu. The space has a club-like vibe, likely aiming for something virtual and modern, but compared to places we've experienced globally, it didn't quite hit the mark. We started with a dish we believed was our appetizer, but it turned out to be something else entirely--our actual order followed and ended up being almost a duplicate but with much less flavor. That made the meal feel heavier than expected. My husband found his plate fairly average, but we understand that new places often need time to refine their offerings. When the bill came, we noticed we were charged for the original appetizer. No fuss--we paid for what we ate and had the rest boxed up. Unfortunately, the green chilaquiles didn't reheat well and lacked flavor the second time around, as well. I dislike throwing food away, but it wasn't worth a sour stomach and ruining the rest of the day. So, I opted to throw it out. Because the restaurant came recommended a couple of weeks later by a friend, we gave it another try. Again, the staff greeted us warmly, though they forgot to bring out the complimentary bread. My husband politely reminded the manager, who graciously handled it himself. This time we brought my daughter. She ordered the stuffed chilaquiles, we had been served previously as an appetizer. The plate this time was overly drenched in a bland sauce. I requested salt to balance it out, and my daughter eventually gave up, scraping off most of the excess and leaving the rest. She was disappointed and left with an upset stomach. My husband mistakenly ordered the regular chilaquiles--made with an enchilada-style sauce instead of a fresh salsa--which was unfortunately a miss again. I had tried to warn him, but the loud club-style music made conversation difficult. I had ordered the same dish on my first visit and left most of it untouched for the same reason: the overwhelming amount of sauce that turned everything mushy. In the end, we paid for a meal that none of us finished -- not once but twice. While we appreciate the staff's energy and hospitality, the food's execution just didn't meet our expectations. Sadly, we don't anticipate returning.

Keep in mind it was my father in laws 70th birthday and he wanted to eat there . I get it I've been a server before , worked in the industry but when the hostess tells me 20/25 minutes really means 40-45 minutes I start to get upset . Was told " sir you don't have to get mad " I do when I have a. 2 year old who's been waiting for almost an hour , who's hungry and crying because u was told the wait wouldn't be that long . We finally got seated after almost an hour to wait for another 10 minutes before a waiter or anyone approached us . We ordered Sri js and waited another 10-15 minutes before they got there . Once they got there we ordered our food because we knew it would take another 30/45 minutes before it came out . I ordered another drink as did someone else from the table . It never came , nor did the extra bread we ordered . I went to the bar and upended a tab , got bread and took it back to the table . Food showed up and was bland and tasteless .
