    Chicken fried chicken, mac and cheese, broccoli
    Kristin J.

    It has been forever since I have been here. The staff and service were incredible. Our waiter kept checking on us every five minutes. It seemed like. The prices were great. You can get an entrée with two sides and a drink for 999 or a larger portion for 1199. This is cheaper than a lot of fast food places! There are also so many different options for theentrée and sides. The food was so tasty! I can't wait to come back again.

    Worms in my sons broccoli

    Just left this location and will not be returning. My son's broccoli was INFESTED WITH MAGGOTS. There had to be at least 8-10 maggots in his broccoli. And staff didn't seem phased by it once so ever. Our waiter shrugged his shoulders and the manager was upset about us wanted a refund. I feel bad for whoever ordered the broccoli from here.

    They must have a new chef/mgr because the food today is outstanding. Last time was mediocre (last month) so glad it's back to better food.

    Cold food at 11:30am on a Friday. How do you serve cold food at lunchtime. Didn't they just open? I will never come back to this location.

The fried chicken is not good enough to recommend. As you will see, George M., the manager did respond to my comment. And I thank him for his response. Keep in mind. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cleburne. I grew up in a Houston with Picadilly, Weldon's, Brittain's, Luby's, Wyatt's and more. Cafeterias in the 50's and 60's were an important way for families to dine out economically, and go to for the Sunday after church dinner. I visit Cleburne as often as possible, and my wife and I still reminisce about the matriarch at the register who could calculate everyone's bill in her head as they showed up to pay. Such wonderful memories. But as a person who has done fried chicken for decades, creating The Fried Chicken Blog (www.thefriedchickenblog.com) to document the fried chicken picnics in the German Czech community of central Texas, and having fun with many different fried chicken recipes, I read his response about his chicken being one of the best in the country, so I will leave it up to you. Look at the photo of the dry, fried chicken on JUne 15, 2026, and then compare it to the photo I have just added for what I think fried chicken would look like at the best places (One example would be Barbecue Inn on Crosstimbers). There are some tricks to fried chicken. That is, once you decide on which traditional method you choose to go with. Example of one such: The batter of course, where you add a little moisture into the flour before the dipping and frying so that pieces of the wetted flour clump and will be picked up. Getting back to the Cleburne recipe. My guess is that this is one of the classic Southern, dredge in flour and pan fry, but not a buttermilk soak, dip, dredge, redip, dredge, fry method. This one is more akin to the classic skillet fry method and a simpler flour coating (I'm guessing). Which can be really good. But for me, I'd say, pass on the fried chicken and go for one of their other entrees.

    I remember when I was younger going to cafeteria with my adopted grandmother (we adopted her, our…read moregrandparentslived in the Caribbean).. She loved cafeterias. You could get really simple and tasty southern style food for a good price. Us kids loved going because not only could we pick out a delicious entree and two sides of our choice, out health nut parents allowed us to get a dessert of our liking as well as a drink of our liking because the value was so good. Also, if other people from church came, aside from plenty hugs, we sat by ourselves close by and roared with laughter until our church members got in on the jokes and the whole section was laughing. Good times. Grandma often paid for everyone since it was affordable to her and she loved us to pieces. I said all that to say that Luby's gives that nostalgic feeling of my youth. Now, the food isn't at the level that it needs to be but it is comforting. I can just hear grandma asking everyone if they are okay and enjoying their meal! My favorite items from her are the homemade dressing, mashed potatoes, savory green beans, delicious butter corn kernels, mac and cheese, whole wheat rolls, cabbage, and cornbread. Basically the sides. The mac and cheese is not yellow but it is very cheesey and nice! So delicious and creamy. They have a good dessert list but my sweet tooth hasn't picked back up. Would recommend!

They said I had to pay an additional $3.29 if I wanted a soft drink because the strawberry lemonade is a separate thing. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! And also the manager can be heard yelling and belittling his staff in the kitchen. Will never return. Managers name was Mike I believe.

Ive even seen them serve food on the plate then remove some...like they are worried they gave you too much. The sides use to heap over...now they don't even fill the little bowl. Their macaroni has also lost its magic. It just tastes bland and lifeless now. Its never changed in the 40 years ive gone to Lubys but it definitely different.

It's good old fashioned cooking. Today I discovered they have a Monday fried catfish special and it was terrific. Perfectly prepared, crispy, mild. Exactly how a piece of fried catfish should be. Service was attentive and thorough. A lot of their employees have a lot of ownership over their areas and make sure you are taken care of. If all of these close I am going to be very sad.
