    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

They have social media tools on their side, with at least some members on their team knowing marketing psychology. They have their goal audience sets, and work them accordingly. The creativity in their offerings are genuinely something to recognize them for. With some alterations in pricing and policies, this would be a five star establishment. The "alterations" are not minor ones, though-- namely, prices, along with distribution of the ingredients. The potential is there. The way they operate is not necessarily said as a critique-- this is a company trying to make money to survive like we all are. The events they host, the promotions they run-- examples of marketing intelligence. However, the charging for a service fee, even in person? Not so sure I can accept that. Been here twice now, with multiple options sharing a general theme-- large serving sizes as promised, which might substantiate the nearly $20 including taxes burritos/full order fries/quesadillas + the $15 including taxes chips with stuffed quesos/egg rolls/taco trios-- is they were actually substantially filled with the ingredients highlighted on the menu descriptions. Regrettably, the premium ingredients are substantially disproportional to the pennies per pound vegetables, onions, potatoes, etcetera. I would probably even recommend deconstructing most menu items in order to fully appreciate the better ingredients without those empty fillers murking your meal. The standouts, not quite but somewhat managing to overcome the aforementioned ingredients imbalance, would be their seafood oriented options. The novelty seekers would be better served by ordering their "Craft" egg rolls, which they have christened the "Eggrollrito" on the menus. This is one of those places that a group experience is really the only way to make the outlandish prices. The 7.5 percent service fee on all orders when you are there in person-- meaning not those delivery service application understandable service charges-- causes me, on principal, to have extremely minimal interest in return visits. The fact that some national chains have been exhibiting this equally iniquitous "service fee" mandate-- to make matters worse they are most popularly surreptitiously slipped in on that bill, meaning most patrons will not even notice-- with frighteningly steady progression-- unfortunately fails to make this any more tenable. The California infusion, however limited, is always appreciated-- ending on a more positive tone-- now for more beaches with real blue waters!

    Brought my husband here for the restaurant week menu, and I've now loved both meals I've had here!…read more I absolutely loved the fisherman's stew. I noticed it didn't seem to be as popular as some of the other options, so I have to say... don't sleep on this delightful, light, brothy wine stew! Each piece of seafood was perfectly poached, soaking up all that delicious flavor while adding its own sweet seafood lovin' to the broth. The steak was also cooked perfectly. I've done the beverage pairing both times, and while I enjoyed the experience, I don't think I'll order it again--I'm just not an egg cream girl. My friend happily enjoyed it for both of us, though! Another wonderful meal and definitely a place I'll return to.

Everything was well timed, except when we were trying to get the check. All the staff seemed to be kind and professional. The patio is lovely, but I imagine it can be uncomfortable in the summer heat. Now for the food. Overall it was good. I found some components spectacular, but felt like some lacked seasoning. I was looking forward to the arancini the most. The croquet itself was crunchy and that cheese was definitely telefono style, but needed some seasoning. The pomodoro was tasty, but the basil made it fabulous. Y'all know how I feel about basil. The ravioli was filled with spinach, mushroom, and ricotta with a brown butter sage sauce. It was delicious and the portion was perfect. My favorite part though was the crunchy shitaki "bacon"and butternut squash. I would take a bowl of that in a heartbeat and would absolutely go back for a butternut squash main dish. It was perfectly roasted and full of flavor and those shitaki were amazing. The preserved lemon vinaigrette over lettuces was phenomenal. Incredible fresh flavor. Desert was chocolate torte and sour cream ice cream. The ice cream was the absolute star of the show. The sweet vanilla was incredible. I sampled the halibut and shrimp and it was perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to try other offerings.

The three tacos in order of my personal favorites: karate shrimp, capoeira steak, and luchador fish. The karate shrimp aside from the fact it had wasabi and I don't normally like wasabi, it pairs very well with the shrimp in this case. It was flavorful, the shrimp were a good size, meaty, and delicious. The capoeira steak was good. Flavorful, not chewy, and also paired with the Parmesan-onion crisp, made it. The fish taco was good, but it was a bit fishy for my taste. The service was friendly and nice. The place is very clean. I would like to go back to try the burger myself and some of the other items on the menu.
