    Desserts.  I love their apple pie!
    Stephanie R.

    Update for the Thanksgiving pick up experience. Spoiler, we were very pleased. They open at 11 am but on Thanksgiving, plan to get there earlier to get in line or you may need to wait a while. We got there at 10:30 am and there were already at least 100 people waiting in the drive thru and walk up line combined. Everyone in line had big smiles on their faces, probably because they knew they were not going to need to do dishes later. We were in the drive thru, about 10-12 cars from the window and once the line started moving at 11am, we waited about another 30 minutes to get our food. We listened to our favorite podcast and had hot chocolate while we waited. Everyone, from the front to back house workers, were working incredibly hard to deliver everyone's comfort food. Luby's usually runs like a well oiled machine, but they really shined on this holiday. Note that some options may be limited or you may need to pay more for items not in the holiday menu. Everything on our plates was delicious and perfectly portioned with desserts that were the sweet cherry on top.

    Crappy keyslime pie

    1st Time Here on Palm Sunday and probably my last time. I wanted to sit down and have a meal served to me for a change of pace. I had the Ribeye Special and I was expecting something worthwhile but I was disappointed. So I sat down with the rest of my side dishes, waiting for my steak to get cooked & brought out to me*? Which took forever, so I started munching on my sides.... I has mashed potatoes and gravy with sweet corn. Plus a plain old bun. It was already getting cold while I was waiting to eat my steak with it altogether. Which most restaurant's serve in this fashion, but not here*? Cafeteria style dining is okay, like in the Military or back in School, but not like this & now? I'm not a fan of this type of service. Perhaps, because I had to wait for my steak to be cooked or something. In any case, small portions and a thin steak with mostly grizzle & grease on it....plus I had to wait for a steak knife to eat this too? $19.99 Ribeye Special was like $30 buck when I added a soda drink & slice a keylime pie‍ Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed with this whole experience & lackluster food. I mean it was bad, but it sure didn't make my mouth water or savor the moment neither. ‍ Sorry, but I'm a straight shooter when it comes to explaining & my tastes and likes or dislikes. So far in Texas, I haven't really been knocked out or impressed when it comes to my tastebuds & particular anticipations. This is just a regular deal and nothing special.

    Fried fish with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes
    Lellani R.

    My favorite Lubys has to be this location on Huebner! Employees are always so welcoming as we walk in and in the ordering line as well as the servers. Food portions are always big and everything is delicious. My favorite would be the fried fish, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes with a white roll. When the turkey and stuffing is available that's a must as well. I love how this Lubys decorates for different holidays, tables are always clean, always lots of seating room and it's just a cozy atmosphere.

    Chicken fried steak, double sweet potatoes
    Lora D.

    It's been a while since I've been to Luby's. They closed the one I usually went to at Las Palmas. I've visited this one on and off over the years when I was in the area. Right now it is a nightmare to get in and out of. Floyd Curl road is torn up and you must go in via another parking lot and ditto out of it. If I had not deliberately driven to this one I wouldn't have stopped at it. But I was in the mood for Luby's. Just plain cooked food. I had hoped for roast beef but I don't think they have that anymore. But I'll never pass up their chicken fried steak. Now for my mystery....I always, for 30 plus years, get a LuAnn plate. But my tummy was rumbling so decided to get the full sized. Maybe she misunderstood me but I thought the steak looked smaller like the LuAnn not the slightly larger one next to it. Whatever...I was only charged for the LuAnn with military discount. Now a cafeteria is hard for me since I have trouble standing and the couple in front of me had trouble deciding what to order so I was in pain as I went down the line. They had a great variety of veggies, which I love, and a nice selection of meats. The salads looked very tempting. I got a double portion of sweet potatoes for my veggies and a piece of cake for dessert. I was a little afraid that the cake might be carrot which I don't care for. It was but a pale version of that which is why I was not sure. I added cornbread which was a little dry. The chicken fried steak was as wonderful as memory said. Indeed all was good but the slightly dry cornbread. It was still tasty. So wish the one closer to me was still open. I go to the Fredericksburg rd one occasionally. One great thing is that they always have someone come to carry my tray. They are always very nice and welcoming and make you feel wanted there. Both military and senior discounts are available. It's not fancy food nor rich sauces but great plain cooking.

    Baked Almondine Combo top of fish was over salted

    Poor service and food was overly salty. Didn't treat my senior mother right she sat by herself and yet wasn't noticed or waited on, yet others that were alone were waited on. Sad way to treat someone who paid good money to be ignored just for tips. Need improvement.

    Thanksgiving meal
    Olga B.

    I must confess - I haven't eaten at Luby's for quite a while, but back in the day...their food was my jam! Heart and fresh, hot and flavorful, lots of choices and won't break the bank. This year my clinic got their Thanksgiving plates and these things were SAD! Rolls so we're hard and stale that they must've been leftovers from last year's Thanksgiving. Green beans came right out of a can with no flavor, mashed potatoes were also bland, dressing - no flavor...just cold soggy bread crumbs, gravy was thin, and tasteless. The turkey was super dry and no flavor either. The ham tasted the best of out the whole plate, but way too salty. Canned cranberries was just canned cranberries...what can I say. This plate went right into trash with my hopes and dreams today.

    My favorite. All comfort food.  Yum.
    Patricia M.

    If you are in a rush and in the medical center, this place is very affordable and fast. No staffing issues here. Who does not like fried fish, and comfort food like mash potatoes and Mac & cheese! I had the full size fried fish. Which was crispy and just like I remembered. As well as the mash potatoes and Mac & cheese, still wet, creamy & tasty! Nothing has changed. The fast service leaves a lot of time for you to catch up with your lunch mates.

It's a little expensive, even for a weekend. 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.

The buffet options are good, but their general tso's chicken is not the best (and I judge how good overall Chinese buffets on this lol). A surprise hit is the sautéed green beans, which are perfectly cooked and garlicky--just like how you'd find it traditionally cooked in Chinese cuisine. I also think they're deep fried (salt and pepper?) shrimp (next to the crawfish) is very delicious. Plates are cleared pretty quickly and the buffet space is kept orderly and decently clean.

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.

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.
