Halfway thru lunch. Yummy!
Jay T.

So I'm gonna start by saying I hope folks really will keep going to Luby's in El Paso. There are only 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.

Don't believe the status of your online order! Double check early or just go through the line

Lubys is just a classic Cafe that I love to go to when I'm in Texas. Food hasn't changed in forever, and that's a good thing to me. Only issue was with the online ordering. When you order online, the website provides a status of your order. My status was updated from order received, to order being prepared, to order ready. When I saw that my order was ready, I walked over to the to-go counter stupidly expecting that my order would be ready. No one was working behind that counter, so when I finally found someone, she pulled the receipt from the register and apparently my order had NOT been prepared or even acknowledged. So, my 2:39pm pick up turned into 2:55pm pickup. So, including the 15 minutes from ordering, it took 31 minutes when I could have just gone through the line in 10 minutes. So, what's the lesson here? I'm an idiot for thinking that when the website says my "order is ready" that my order would actually be ready. So, save yourself the time and just go through the line. Who the hell needs technology??? Food is still amazing though.

I had the baked fish, lentils, okra and corn bread ! with a Rootbeer it was all very good . This was at the Lubys off Hawkins

LuAnn plate, plenty of good food-- enjoying!

Luby's is a great mid- week meal. Join their email club to get discounts and specials. Everything I've eaten here is good, consistent and available to-go! Their email club is great! I just wish it would apply to take out as well!

I would add a photo but unfortunately I ate it all already. I will however add a photo of the dessert I'm taking home and will update y'all on it. The food has a nice selection, there something for EVERYONE. The food is not highly seasoned which is great if you have stomach or health conditions. It's still very flavorful with the herbs and marinades etc that they use. They have a variety of desserts and healthy and unhealthy options. Fish, chicken, meat, salad, different breads. It's so spacious and nice view. Plenty of seating and restrooms are clean.

Super spreader even just created for the people of El Paso . Waited for hours to be told that my pre paid meal that had a time reservation will not be given to me . Congrats Lubys you have blood on your hands now .

Line!!!

Yes, 4 stars! Here's why. I come here weekly. The kids actually love this place. I'm assuming it's the home cooked food feeling. What I like is the food is always consistent. You can seriously order anything your pallet so desires. If you feel like turkey, they got it. Feel like chop steak, they got it. Liver, yes they sometimes have it. Wanna play it safe, fried fish or chicken, yup they got it. They have so many sides. They have a good little dessert choice. Carrot cake is yummy!!!!! Have kids? Your kids meals come with a free jello! The sweet tea is on point! The con: it's usually packed. Also, it's a older crowd. Usually seniors come here. At first it makes you feel out of place but after you come a few times, you get to appreciate the place. I now just sit and thank the greatest one that I'm alive and youthful. It makes me look forward to getting older. Overall: you want a home cooked meal and you're far from home, yea come here....

The place had a very nice vibe and seemed very popular. Classy decor but casual feel. The enclosed glass wine cooler was amazing to see. The wine glasses.... Well everything in TX is bigger. They were goblets and so pretty. Our server was Viviana, who was very sweet and polite. The bread was so soft and hot. But so much for two people, I felt bad not eating it all. One loaf would have been enough. I ordered a cucumber drink w/o alcohol: SO good. Mango salad with chicken for me. He had steak, lobster tail and a glass of Austin Hope red wine. Food was delicious! Next time we are in El Paso- we're coming back and making reservations to guarantee a seat. Plenty of parking but... people can't see nor pay attention to the faded arrows on the ground showing which way to go. I had to back all the way out of the row back to the entrance because a big 4x4 truck went the wrong way to exit! It was dangerous because of the sharp turn into the parking lot from the steer. Next time we will Find parking on the left side- because some people don't care.

Visiting El Paso from California and I have been looking for more casual dining experience with…read moregood food. This place was perfect! This restaurant is very unassuming and a hidden gem that is located in a strip mall. From the exterior, it's hard to know what to expect but when you walk in the restaurant, it's got a good ambience to it. It could make for a romantic date night, dinner or more casual dining experience at the bar, Overall it was a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. They offer booth seating, romantic table seating for two or more and seating at the bar. The hostess and the servers were very attentive. We received excellent service from the bar as well. The drink that I chose was a Side Car and coming from LA, we have great Mixology, but I have to say that this drink blew me away. And could possibly be one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a long time! It was so well, balanced, and perfectly crafted. We ordered the mussels and the fish of the day which was the trout in a lemon wine caper sauce. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we ordered both the chocolate mousse and the crème brûlée. I did not try the chocolate mousse, but my daughter said it was amazing. The crème brûlée was also perfectly made. The server, Bruléd at the table and that was a nice touch. I have had a lot of crème brûlée desserts and have my top five and I have to say this was probably on the list. So happy that we stumbled upon this place and I will probably be visiting one more time before I go back home. I highly recommend it!

We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

Absolutely loved the bar and hanging pots everywhere. Such a clean restaurant and cute vibe. Our waitress was very nice and friendly to us. So no issues there! For drinks I got their berry lemonade which tasted just like lemon juice. I had to request for sugar to be added since it was so sour so beware. My food had came out and to be honest I'm just a little bit disappointed. The rigatoni was cooked but the sauce for it was really not tasty? Like there was almost not a flavor I can taste. Of course there was something but it was very plain and barely even there. It also was not spicy whatsoever. I added grilled chicken too and oh boy was that dry dry DRY. The burrata personally I'm not a fan in general so of course I wouldn't be a fan this time either but they gave a nice little plate full of it. They added some oiled toasted bread and it was way too crispy in my opinion. My partner got the chicken Parmesan and his dish tasted great! Very juicy chicken and cooked all the way. The sauce was perfect too nice and flavorful and great pairing with the chicken. His butter noodles were just like regular butter noodles so not bad. Finally the crème brûlée. Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered. It took repeated stabs to break the sugar glaze on top. Me and my partner were honestly thinking that they added the cream on top to hide how burnt it was actually. Unfortunately because the glaze was so thick and burnt it made the rest of the cream taste have the burnt flavor. It was sad because my partner was looking forward to this desert. Also took wayyy longer to arrive than our entrées. I will say that the waitress was very helpful and she actually covered the crème Brulé. I didn't even ask she just offered, I think she could tell that we didn't enjoy it and I had nicely told her it wasn't what we were expecting so thank you sincerely. Overall I think this is a perfect spot to maybe try drinks and hang with friends. Food was okay, wouldn't try it again in that regard but overall a decent spot here in El Paso if you're looking for something new. Maybe best to ask what's their best dish to serve. Overall thank you.

We have been to this restaurant several times in the past, and have considered it one of our…read morefavorites. Until today. After today, not going back. We are not sure what happened, but the place changed. The old staff (who were relaxed and fun to be around) are all gone, the delicious food we kept returning to have is also gone, replaced by a menu that doesn't know what exactly this restaurant wants to be (tacos, fried chicken, attempt at French menu items, etc). They have 6 different kinds of French toast. We tasted 2 of them, and they have the same taste. Just different toppings. The price for the French toast with eggs, bacon and home fries was $17. Now they charge $18 just for 2 slices of brioche with some sauce that resembles the old Banana Foster sauce, and an additional $6 for the eggs, bacon and home fries. Disappointing, and more expensive than it's worth. Walking into a restaurant to be held hostage by some speech about a small store selling books inside the restaurant?! Yeah, don't do that. If we hadn't already ordered, we would have left. No refill on water, no inquiry about any other drinks. I wasn't even finished with my meal and the server slapped the check on the table and walked away. If that doesn't make you feel "welcome to leave", I don't know what does. Looking around, I find it unacceptable to bring food to the table 5 minutes apart for every person at the table. The staff now wears embroidered shirts with the restaurant logo (except for one, she was just chewing her gum while taking orders- also, ew), and the atmosphere has changed from casual to "we wanna be high end, we made some money so now we want you to pay more". Disappointing.
