    Chicken fried steak, white gravy, yams, green beans, wheat roll--combo plate.
    Diana R.

    Waitress only came by when we were almost finished with our meal but she was semi-friendly. Had chicken fried steak--it was Super crunchy and over fried but not chewy inside which is what really matters! Well seasoned and white gravy complimented it well. Green beans were very bland which is unusual because I always get them because I always love them so disappointing today. Yams had no marshmallows so that was off as well but still sweet and nutty with pecan bits. Wheat roll was cold and hard on top also disappointing but lathering it in Butter helped off set the dryness.

    I never come to Lubys but my mother takes my daughter all the time. Well I finally took my daughter since we wanted fish for Friday. She walked me through how everything worked and service was great though the line, the cashier was very sweet. I wish I got her name but all the workers were very welcoming, engaged in conversation and extremely helpful. If you are wanting something that gives you a home cooked meal I suggest Luby's. My daughter is a Luby's fan so we will be back again!

    This to go order was very delicious. We were happy with our meals. We decided to try again after a couple past not so great experiences.

    Can I just say I died and went to Heaven! I literally thought all the Lubys were closed down. I was just in far west S.A. and my eyes stumbled upon a Luby's sign. I thought to myself I'm sure that's an abandoned building, but my curiosity got the best of me as I circled my way around to check it out. To my surprise, it was 1 of the 5 remaining Lubys. But wait there's more..... I discovered that they serve turkey and dressing all freaking year long. My life is complete. Got drive thru and made my way home. Ahhhh what a wonderful day it t'was.... :))))

    Grilled Tilapia with mashed potatoes, cornbread, mac & cheese, and chicken & rice soup

    When my sister in love suggested @lubys_249_sa for dinner, I thought there weren't any still open. Good to know that 1604 and Bandera have one. There was quite a line and so it's popularity hasn't waned. Glad they're getting a good crowd to keep its doors open. So many hot piping dishes to choose from! Dad and I shared the Grilled Tilapia with mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cornbread, and a cup of chicken & rice soup. My husband had the Fried Fish with salad, mashed potatoes, roll, and corn. Good food and easy on the budget.

    Luann platter with turkey, corn, cabbage, cranberry sauce, gravy, and jalapeño cornbread
    Brian B.

    I came here recently with my wife and her parents. We decided to celebrate Father's Day a day early to avoid crowds. I hadn't been to Luby's in some time, so it was nice to revisit an old favorite from my youth. I decided on the Luann platter with roasted turkey as the entree. My two sides were corn and cabbage. I picked the jalapeño cornbread to complete my meal. I passed on the stuffing as I was trying to avoid too many carbs. I really enjoyed everything about the meal! It felt like Thanksgiving in June. The turkey was nice and moist, and the cornbread actually had some spice to it. The plate had the right amount of food. All in all, it was a good and inexpensive experience. Given to the proximity to my home, I will definitely be back!

    Luby's website for this location

    Before beginning this trip for a birthday dinner, I checked the Luby's website AND called their phone (210) 695-4494 to verify that they were indeed open. Both the website AND automated answering system specifically said that they would be open until 8 pm on December 24. So you know, December 24 is my now 79 y.o. Step-father's birthday. I drove from Lytle TX to La Coste TX to pick him and my 80 y.o. mother up from assisted living. We then drove the 28 miles to Luby's. We pulled up at 5:05 pm. Paper sign taped to the door says they closed at 5:00 pm. Banged on the door. A very nice young man Terrance came and answered my insistent banging on the door. Terrance got an earful. I know it wasn't his fault ... but I strongly urged that he pass the level of my severe displeasure to his manager. I don't have any problem with closing early so your employees can spend time with family. But when you're too damned lazy to change your website AND your automated answering system AND I made a 65 mile round trip for nothing ... I have a damned problem!!!

    To go regular size Luby's fried fish.
    Karen R.

    I knew better but... I ordered to go from Luby's on Bandera and 1604. Where to start? Shrinkflation has the fried fish so thin and small now, like a Luann portion but not halved. In one photo you can see that it's a little hollow! Same great taste, but it will leave you wanting more... like a full portion. The cabbage was still a bit raw but also overcooked, they still keep the broccoli in huge tree sizes, but it was good. The jalapeño cornbread had to be from last week. In the pic you can see the delineation from soft to rock hard. The tartar sauce was still good, but overall, a very disappointing meal. If this quality and the prices don't improve, I'm afraid Luby's will fade away as another great San Antonio dining experience that dies a slow and excruciating death.

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.

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.
