    I was very disappointed with my recent visit. The bread was old and had an unpleasant smell, the…read morefish sticks tasted stale, and the pork was undercooked. On top of that, my unsweetened iced tea was actually sweet. Overall, the food quality was far below expectations -- I hope management takes this feedback seriously and does something about. We love Luby's!

    So I'm gonna start by saying I hope folks really will keep going to Luby's in El Paso. There are…read moreonly really two other places to get midwestern or country home style American food here and that's Golden Corral, a buffet and Cheddars a cafe. Luby's is the last of a dying Breed, the Cafeterias. The family Sunday after church place of mine and many others childhood. I think I must be part Square Fish, Mac and Cheese with corn and Strawberry Shortcake because that was my "go-to" for years as a child. Today as an adult, I love the carved roast beef, the fried and baked chicken and the baked fish. And I never miss the Cheese Enchiladas here. They are made Tex-Mex style with lots of meat sauce and yellow cheese. Inside and melting all over the top. So good. Yea things changed a lot after the pandemic, we lost 2 locations. And lots of faves off the menu. Goodbye Friday Gumbo. See ya Sunday King Ranch Chicken. And they still have salads, but no longer do the the big huge bowls of 3 types of greens greet you at the start of the line, with a smiling lady ready to serve them into a bowl for you, with up to 9 different kinds of toppings like crushed boiled eggs. Diced tomatoes and cucumbers. Real bacon bits, croutons, fried onions, grated cheese, grilled chicken or diced Ham, and several homemade salad dressings. That you could sub on any combo plate for $1.99 . No today you just have a small to-go container with greens and two tomato wedges. And a selection or premade salad dressing pouches. All the prepared salads have been reduced to 2-3 options that rotate daily, in little sundae cups. You have to hope you come on pea salad or carrot salad day now. It's not there every day anymore. But the line is still well stocked with old faves like square fish, that super expensive bone in pork chop is nearly $17.50 now. They do still have the Luann platter but it's nearly $10 plus drink, still, not too bad for lunch not in a hurry or fast food joint. I DO love the ambiance, the nostalgia. Hearing real silverware scratching against real plates. Dishes crashing and clanging in the kitchen. Ahh but paper napkins now. Gone are the green cloth ones...I like The low hum of multiple conversations. People carrying trays for older people. Laughter of the children as they eat jello.. I had Baked Mayonnaise fish today, with Mac and cheese, spinach and green beans. And a roll. With some tea. $18 and change before tip. It was all delicious, all my food was very warm. My roll even melted my butter. Kids eat FREE HERE on Wednesdays and SATURDAYS!!! One free meal with every adult meal... that's a good deal for a Wednesday night or Saturday afternoon after soccer or football games... is this 5 STAR dining??? No, but it's real food .... And it's homey... keep Luby's in your eating out rotation.

    I've been here a couple of times and I like the food but it can get a bit pricey, depending on what…read moreyou order. I tried the eggs Benedict with avocado today and it was good. My companion had the Belgian waffles (I'm not sure which item, specifically) and it was like a dessert plate with all the whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Also very good. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but every time I've been here for breakfast or brunch there's always a bunch of empty tables and people waiting to be seated, but the staff act like it's a full house. When we arrived there was nobody else waiting and yet we had to wait about 5 minutes for the staff to "set a table" for us. When we were seated there were at least six empty tables already set. When we left about 45 minutes later, a lot of previously occupied tables still had dirty dishes on them (but not all of them), and nobody was cleaning them up. Just like when we got here, there were lots of tables ready to go and yet the lobby was full of people waiting to be seated and even more people waiting outside.

    I want to start off with saying that the waffles were absolutely awesome. They are the closest…read morething I found to actual Belgian waffles here in New Mexico. They had a good variety and I got one waffle on the side with the Bavarian cream and it was absolutely great. I did order the skirt steak, which was not my favorite to be honest. Overall, it was too chewy. However, the hashbrowns were done very well.
