The food was great!! I am a veggie person, and was very pleased. My only dislike was the iced tea. I cannot find a good iced tea here anywhere. Not their fault though. Very clean and I watch Bar Rescue! read more

This is by far THE BEST Luby's location there is, so far, in Texas. This location does not feel like the other Luby's in town (or even in San Antonio where it originated) because of it's ambiance, the selection and amount of food choices for you to eat, and because of it's waitstaff and serving staff. There is a great feeling when you walk in and are greeted with a smile where you can get home cooked hot meals on the cheap! I hate to say it (only because I always feel like I am making a marketing pitch but trust me, I am not!) you should sign up for the e-newsletter. Luby's is SUPER generous with sending their e-newsletter subscribers at least 2-3 coupons a week!!! Most of them are BOGO (buy one get one) half off or free! Seriously - sign up!!! You will have to print the coupon as they will not take you showing the coupon on your phone at this location. The manager is super strict about this so be sure to print it out! Waitstaff and general staff are amazing, sweet, and will explain to you the types of dishes and/or entrees that are out and available if you ask. They are attentive as you get through your meal with asking you if you need anything else and filling your drinks. Advice - bring some CA$H with you for a tip for your waiter or waitress. There is no room on your printed receipt to write in a tip so you need to bring some singles! read more

I ordered our family Thanksgiving dinner from Lubys. To was worth it. No big mess to clean up and the food was great. We got the smoked Turkey. Will be doing this again next year. Rick @ www.royaltienetworks.info read more

Always a great family oriented place. Usually always packed, which should be a good sign.... I don't like to wait so if it's packed we get it to go. My favorite meal from there is a chicken fried steak dinner and I've been getting it for years and it always seems to taste as good as always. read more

When you want to have a great time with your family and is easily one of the best environments to be in them I would eat here. The service here at Luby's is 10/10 . The employees are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet . Before Covid they would always offer to carry your plate to the table . The employees always have a nice simple but flowing conversation with you . Then food is amazing , I do wish there was a little more variety with the food. A lot of meat and a lot of chicken . I do like very much on how they always have special dinners for the holidays . This place is very good for children as well with the jello which is a hit! 4/5 would definitely recommend for family dinners. read more

Ordered the fish like I always do. Price was like 15 bucks, asked the girl why price from yesterday went up 5 dollars. Asked why she said it was the fish price. Got to my table and sure enough she charged me for a half empty glass of water. Went and told her and she over charged me and she was not pleasant at all. Rang it up gave me my money but not without giving me that look. So I said thank you and she said nothing. I said aren't you forgetting some she said what. I said you forgot to apologize and say sorry. The rudest cashier I have ever meet. My visit 8/5/2020 5:15pm. I will never visit this place again. Oh and did I say there now clean booths because no one is cleaning in here. Place is dirt. One older gentleman by himself as a waiter/host and table cleaner. (Bess his heart for trying). read more

Error on order, and long holds. When a manager finally got on the call hard to understand, hear, and was really no help.

Good except there was brown edges on the lettuce in my salad. Friendly and helpful staff. We tipped $3.00 even though most people don't tip at cafeterias. The lady got us several.things we needed. We try to support Luby's because cafeterias are disappearing. They are a good choice for the variety they offer. read more

You can't go wrong with Luby's. When you want comfort food without the fuss of paying Austin prices for a simple meal, this place is totally underrated and should be appreciated more! If you want to skip cooking but eat on a dime, this is the better choice over the endless fast food options in the area. Everyone there is really nice to you. I truly hope this location at least remains. read more

If you like your food served cold, your ground beef undercooked to the point of possible danger, and your cornbread square brick-hard and cold also, then this is the place for you. Of course, you could take it all home, heat it up, and finish cooking the meat item, but that sort of defeats the purpose of going out. read more

Im not even gonna talk about the child's size portion of dressing i was given (mind you it tasted like it was made the day before) I'm here to talk about the molded dessert I was sold smh the Kitchen staff, kitchen manager, restaurant manager and the servers (since they're the ones actually handing the food over) need to be held responsible. Maybe they need to retake their food handlers so they can know that 1. There needs to be a date on food containers and 2. serving ANYTHING with mold/fungus on it is unhealthy and unsafe. (But if the containers were dated then they'd know to throw it out) DO BETTER read more

See all

Visited here a few days ago and thought I'd say that the food wasn't bad but customer service was pretty good. The waitress was quite attentive in her duties. I forgot her name but props to her. Would return again :) read more

Have been to this a Luby's twice and excellent se vice. They would definitely get five stars as their meatloaf, chicken fried steak, real mashed potatoes, dressing on a week night and other foods and big piece of chocolate cream pie are delicious! Just need to tell you, green pea salad does NOT have pickles in it! YUCK! read more

Wowsers This Location knocked my socks off ! I loved everything about it , Thanks to most especially manager Mr Joseph Graziano ( hoping I spelled his name correctly give this gentleman a raise ! read more

Love this place. But have noticed recently how much the place needs a good wipe down. I wish they could hire me for 1 day to wipe and clean the walls/windows and the general area around the guest's table. Just had dinner, same food smudge that was there from 3 weeks ago. If I was the manager here, all glass windows/doors would be wiped n cleaned daily. This is a nice place to eat with family. read more

Food was great as always! I'm so glad that this cafeteria made it through the pandemic. It was very clean and all of the employees wore masks. Gotta love all of the choices at Libya!!! Yummy! read more

to begin with there was NO and I repeat NO service what so ever,after we paid there were NO clean tables,the place had maybe ten (10) people eating we had to clear a table ourselves,all the time there was a server standing at the table right next to us talking to a to the people at that table for almost 10 min.even after that a Manager came up and talked to the server who stayed and keep on talkin to the people at the table,when we finially left they had only cleared MAYBE three (3) tables.POOR POOR POOR read more

Ugh where to begin. The place is dead on a Saturday you figure there would be better quality food with less rush. Chicken was under cooked to a health dept danger level, sweet potatoes where hard over cooked mush., and the okra was also way under cooked and hard as a rock. The key lime pie was good and it's basically what I ended up eating for lunch. Get it togather Lubys you have one job dude. read more

Worst. Food. Ever. It also didn't help that the tables were piled up with dishes, the floor hadn't been vacuumed and on top of it all--a carved turkey was on display but, it was JUST for DECORATION! What the heck? It was THANKSGIVING, folks. To 'ease' this kick in the gut, Luby's DID offer sliced deli turkey. Gee, thanks... My hubby and I were traveling from out of town and this restaurant was the only thing open besides a gas station. Looking back, we should have just ate at the gas station. read more

I've been to Luby's in Houston, but this one feels like a legit restaurant more than a cafeteria. Been here twice now and both times have exceeded my expectations. I got a salad, desert, entree, two sides and a friend k for $18 (see pic). So much food, but I couldn't resist the green chili chicken soup. Sooo good. Chicken fried chicken cause I'm keeping it all southern on this trip. I lose all my LA flavor here, lol read more

Luby's - All this for $18!! - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

chopped steak was raw. Gross. to be fair, the service was nice. I just wish the cooks did a better job. read more

They ran out of turkey early in the day and we wanted turkey. The lady serving the food didn't make a good effort to find out when more turkey would be ready. The other entrees looked and smelled nasty. Get your act together read more

Today's order was wrong and the dessert was OLD. I had to throw it away. I usually have better food but today was not good. Not sure if I will go back. read more

I love Luby's and I love Luby's chicken fried steak. I lost my job so I'm chilling at home and I'm having beverages (don't judge me). I'm being a responsible adult and deciding not to drive. So I ordered delivery. My typical in-person sides are corn and potatoes with a side salad (additional). However, I couldn't add an additional side salad online. So I placed the request in my "addition information" box. I wanted my two sides to be a twice backed potato and salad with ranch (trying to remember to eat veggies haha) but if they could charge the corn after the order was submitted, then please do so. If not, then those two sides are fine. It got here in 35 minutes AND I was left with this note. My order arrived as wanted. Y'all are now my favorite. Thank you, Justine! read more

I love eating at Lubys , as I traveled Texas for my Job I would eat at every place that Lubys was/ BUT IN AUSTIN IT IS NOW LUBYS ON SLAUGHTER LANE wow These Mgr. From India is the Best He knows the spices on the Enchiladas/ or Meat Loaf Have to be perfect and He Is The Best, Take Ie It from a food Critic like me.. I have been to Mexican Restaurants, and Lubys here on Slaughter lane. beats them hands down... Thank you folks Love you all. ... John Guerrero Ret U.S. Army read more

Tonight we complained that our food was cold and were told by the waiters that the warming line, that keeps the food at the right temperature for customer safety, had been broken all day. Can you say salmonella risk? I had to call the health department, and I will never eat at a place that would serve people like that again! read more

I go here with my dad because he loves the onions and liver. It's clean for the most part. Food it usually cold but hey my dad loves it so I'll go eat here when he really wants to. I would suggest eating elsewhere if your looking for a place, unless your dad really wants to eat here. read more

Never let the manager make your food. I was indecisive so I mimicked the order that was in front of me. A regular server fixed her plate, then a manager slid over and prepared mine. He scraped up small pieces of turkey to make it look like 4 slices, then gave me 1 small scoop of dressing. The woman's plate in front of me looked full. I quickly compared it to mine because hers is the reason that I got what i got anyway..I left the turkey portion alone but when I saw him scoop a small helping of dressing and put it on my plate I immediately asked for more. It looked like he was truly trying to give me the smallest portions available. When I asked him for more stuffing he mentioned this is the usual amount, but i will give you a little more Yet the woman in front of me, her food was overflowing off of her plate. The bill was about $15..I can't believe he was going to give me that small amount of food for $15. After this I am sure that everywhere I go, regardless of what I am buying..I am gonna get ripped off. Lastly my Biggest Pet Peave...sweeping around my table while I am eating..Nice lady but please no dust particles in my food. read more

Good cafeteria style food, I enjoyed being there. Reminds me of going to Hot Shops and Country Kitchen. Great selection of meats and vegetables. read more

I'm sitting here amazed at the kindness of this staff. I have food allergies that they helped me weed through my options for. Then, I got to the register and my card wasn't in my wallet. I apologized and was about to leave when the cashier called over her manager (Will I believe) who then paid for my meal. I would never in a million years expect an establishment to do that for me. Thank you to the Lucy's crew. I will definitely be back (next time with money). read more

Bring your ear plugs! This place is loud! A Lu Ann and Tea is now very overpriced for the portion size. This location appears to be an experiment gone horribly wrong....... read more

Well, the food wasn't horrible really -- but it wasn't great and my LUNCH cost me $17.87 and I DIDN'T eat a ton...certainly not that kind of amount. Also, they served up a chicken fried steak to my friend that was more than half breading...kind of yucky and he took most of it home and never finished it. Look, WHY is lunch $18? Entree, two sides and dessert with tea. C'mon. read more

Made me wait 20 minutes in line (fine). Then the manager told me to wait in a different line for to go orders (also fine). That line had me waiting next to a dumpster for an hour and a half (less fine). An hour in I'm informed they're out of turkey specials (disappointing). Then I had to wait in a third line that wrapped around the inside of the restaurant (seriously?). There's only one person processing to go orders while everyone else is focused on serving the original line (at this point the first line was a trickle, people who were behind me before had already eaten and were leaving). Then I notice people walking in for the first line were ORDERING TO GO MEALS, paying, and leaving while I'm still waiting in the "to go" line. Finally get to the front, point out the long wait and how people are waltzing in and doing to go orders in the dine in line, ask for compensation. The employee at the register immediately sasses me and uses Thanksgiving as an excuse for the two hour wait (last straw). I've given Luby's a lot of leeway in the past, but this tears it, I'm done with them. read more

Clearly displayed on a sign above serving line says, "Manager's special starts $6.99" When I asked for it I was told that the MGR special that day was $10.I said I wanted to know what the $6.99 special was. AGAIN I was told that was the only mgr special. I find this to be FALSE advertising..and the sign should be removed. Needless to say I did NOT fall for their "trick" and promptly left without ordering. read more

Out of all the Luby's I have visited this might be my favorite. The staff is super friendly and they give you hefty portions when going through the line. The food itself has mostly been on point. A few times things have been too salty but I've complained and gotten it replaced to my satisfaction. The atmosphere is more lively than older locations and if you sign up for their e-mail club you get really good coupons and deals. My only complaint is they often have one waitress for an entire section and it can be difficult to get her attention. I liked it better when you were able to get your own condiments and refills for free rather than having to leave a tip for someone who you interact with once. read more

I've always driven by them and had never eaten in one until they opened the new one on Slaughter Lane. We decided to give it a shot one night and I was really pleased! I got the special (one meat and two sides) and asked for the grilled chicken and the squash as both my sides. The squash was so perfect! Super fresh and tasted wonderful! The grilled chicken was also tasty (I think it was blackened?) and a nice size portion. The meal was very reasonable and we will definitely be going back! read more

i am normally not a fan of chain restaurants, but feel i have to make an exception here. i have been here 4 times now, mostly out of convenience to my work. i am now convinced that the "rebirth" of luby's may have been a good thing. each time i have been, the food has been very good, service was fast and staff were both helpful and friendly. finally, they always have clean restrooms. i am a little freaky about restaurants that have dirty bathrooms, seems hard for me to imagine the same establishment with a dirty bathroom but a clean kitchen. on my most recent visit the bus \ waiter actually remembered me from over a month ago and greeted me with a 'welcome back' nothing better than alert employees. lastly, as i was moving through line, a manager reached over and pulled chicken fried steak that had batter falling off, off of the platter and threw it away. so far i am a fan! read more

Good atmosphere, the food is decent the chicken fried steak could be a little better. The service is great. Decent size portions for prices. The best lubys ive been to so far. Staff is exceptionally helpful and polite read more

Great chicken fried chicken, fried okra, and mac and cheese is bomb. There is never a long wait and the coffe bar is a good place to chill and watch some TV. I would recommend this place for families ar for a date night. They have beer too! read more

As usual Lubys is the best! Every once in a while I crave Lubys cheese enchiladas . They only offer once or twice a week. Usually Thursdays. Again today I ordered a dozen alacart cheese enchiladas. Enchiladas are terrific, reasonable price and can't wait to order them again. Thank you Will, you run a great restaurant. Randy read more
