    Stay away from the egg salad sandwich. Don't hurt your stomach like that. Definitely not worth the pain.

    Luby's - LuAnn plate, chicken fried steak

    Luby's still has that old-school cafeteria charm that's getting harder and harder to find. Walking…read morein feels familiar in the best way. Lots of good comfort food choices without being overwhelming. I got the baked chicken with green beans, carrots, and greens. My wife got the chopped beef steak with mashed potatoes and gravy plus a roll. We both did the LuAnn combo and tweaked it a little to fit what we wanted. The unsweet tea was spot-on! Everything tasted fresh, hot, and satisfying after a long day in the Medical Center area. What really stood out was the dining room staff. Friendly, attentive, smiling, and genuinely welcoming without hovering over you every five minutes. They made us feel at home, and tipping felt easy because the service was that good. The dining room was clean, peaceful, and honestly kind of relaxing compared to the hectic pace outside. The servers knew the menu well and were happy to answer questions. We always enjoy stopping here when we're in this part of Houston.

    We hadn't been to Luby's in several years, and this visit reminded us why it's such a classic…read more Honestly, it's underrated. The food is really good -- comforting, flavorful, and feels like true home-style cooking. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The fried catfish was perfectly cooked, the carrot salad was delicious, and the chicken was tender and seasoned just right. The service was outstanding (5/5). Friendly, efficient, and welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean and relaxed, making it an easy, enjoyable lunch spot. There's also plenty of free parking, which is always a plus. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 This location is awesome -- simple, comforting, and consistently good.

    Please note, this review is for a hospital cafeteria, and I'm basing it on the typical quality one…read moreshould expect from such a setting. It's only fair to evaluate this experience with that in mind, rather than comparing it to a high-end steakhouse. Thumbs Up: Location - Finding the cafeteria on B1 can feel like navigating a maze. However, you should be able to reach it from any elevator, and the directions are clearly marked at every hallway intersection. If you get lost, just ask someone who looks like they work at the hospital for help. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - The café offers a good variety for breakfast, including a yogurt station with customizable toppings, a grill for freshly prepared options, and a station with premade items. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - Prices for the breakfast items, especially the premade options, are very reasonable. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - The cheesy scrambled eggs are light and taste almost too perfect. Thumbs Up: Breakfast - I didn't try them, but they serve the biggest breakfast sausages I've seen. Thumbs Up: Lunch - There's an even larger variety for lunch, including a grill (burgers, fries, etc.), a sandwich bar, cafeteria staples, and some heavier options. Thumbs Up: Lunch - The mac & cheese was really good, surprisingly so. Neutral: Lunch: The spaghetti's flavor was okay, but it was very easy to eat--no need to twist it around the fork. Thumbs Up: Lunch - The dirty rice had a nice spicy kick I didn't expect. It could use a bit of salt, but that's understandable, considering it's a hospital and some diners are on restricted diets. Neutral: Dinner - I haven't been late enough to try dinner service, so I can't provide feedback on that.

    They have a large selection to choose from. The problem is getting in there on their schedule…read more This morning I was a few minutes late because I was waiting to speak with the Doctor. When I arrived there were a line of people going in all wanting a breakfast item, as I was. There was plenty of food to choose from in the grill area, but they would not let us purchase it. Instead they were putting it in the trash. Why would they not continue to sell what was already prepared? They could just say we are preparing for the lunch and we only have what is here in front of you. When it is gone, it is gone and not in the trash. Just my comments, not sure they will make a difference.

    No, Dear Goodness Gracious No on every level! Do Not eat here, mistake's have been made and cannot…read morebe undone. Tried the pork chop (on a bed of rice), Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and peach cobbler myself-probably had gotten the grilled chicken burger, that was good, though I expected just a piece of grilled chicken. The pork chop was mainly fat, though, and I bit into UNCOOKED RICE. If you don't know, that $h!7 is hard -_-. Mac and cheese was flavorless-what the what?! Mashed potatoes were like a thick paste-could lay brick with it, and the peach cobbler was Bitter af-could Smell it, still tried, God offered to take me home, but my kids need me. My daughters father got the pho, missing the broth, bad flavor, her got the blackberry cobbler and that was just passable enough to eat, but only barely. That was the last meal I dared. Here for our daughters heart surgery. Rough, didn't know I might need medical attention myself :E.

They plan on adding in more options but it will take time. I'm excited to see what they will offer. But for now the grill is solid. It's make your own burger, pick your cheese Bun and toppings. They have garlic aeoli!!!

    As far as hospital cafeterias go, BCM's cafeteria raises the bar…read more Ambiance/location: 4/5 BCM's cafeteria has been a staple of BCM student and faculty for the three years I have been here. Not factoring location into this review, but the cafeteria staff consistently maintains a clean environment, and the setup of the cafeteria allows large amounts of people to enjoy their meals without feeling the "bustle" that often plagues cafeterias. There is nice outdoor seating too, and a lot of it. I'm taking one star off because they close at 2! It would be nice to have the option for food items later in the day. Food: 4/5 There is a grill station, and make-your-own pasta station, a deli, a special entree section, salad bar, and more. The food is high quality for a cafeteria. I recommend trying one of their burgers with fries. They provide large servings that make the prices worth it. Service: 4/5 The staff is friendly, and I have never had a bad experience here. They work hard, both to get your food order ready, check you out, and keep the place clean. One star off because they do not always seem equipped to handle rush hour efficiently.

    NOTE: review is on the Gumbo only…read more I have had my share of gumbo in my life, but nothing has ever come close to the stuff I get at the Baylor College of Medicine Cafeteria. I know, I know, that seems like the oddest place you might find good food - at a cafeteria, a college one at that, but trust me, it's to die for. I worked at Baylor for just 6 months (it felt like eternity, really) - kinda like hell, and only a hair cooler in the mid summer Texas heat... but I was blessed with the gift of Friday gumbos. Even today, years after the trauma that is Baylor, when I go home to Houston, I always plan on being there on a Friday and driving the 20 some odd miles to the Texas Medical Center to purchase multiple quarts of gumbo. It's worth the effort, but a lot of effort it is... 1) the gumbo is only served on Fridays 2) they almost always run out within the hour 3) here's the kicker - I'm not completely sure the cafeteria is open to the public The last few times I can remember, I've had to sneak past the security guards. And I was caught once, and ended up having to drop a few names. I donno, may be the thrill is part of the attraction - it's possible that if you asked nicely, they will let you in. But, if you are an employee of the Texas Medical Center, you have no excuse! It's imperative- you MUST go and have the mythical gumbo.
