Original receipt
Zelda R.

This is a usual spot for my husband and I for years. We visit frequently and they are normally on point as far as the food. It's Luby's for when you want close to home cooking and don't feel like cooking. I always choose a salad, entree, and dessert. I stick with the Carrot Cake. This particular day was no different. The timing was good because we had beat the crowd. The steam table seemed to be fresh and of course my favorite cake. I had eaten all of my food selection. Chopped steak with cheese, macaroni and cheese and fried okra. Had put my to go portion to the side and was now eating the cherished carrot cake. I bit down and it was crunchy which it sometimes is because you get pecan shells but this particular time it was harder crunch and I spit out what was in my mouth to discover a broken piece of plate. I told our waitress which if you frequent Lubys you know they have waitress that get your condiments, clean the tables, and refresh your drinks. Some are more tip worthy than others if you know what I mean. When I called her over and showed her the broken piece of whatever it was, her response was well you know you eating at a restaurant. I was well aware of the point when I left my job to come to this establishment but I could only think about what could have happened to my tongue, my teeth at that moment. So the resolve was refund my money of course and no apology. When she presented it to the manager she said, I've got a void". The male manager was standing at the register and it seemed to be upset about the statement. He took his time and gave her the refund. Gives her a receipt and moves on to continue doing whatever. She returns to the table with a refund receipt. Where is my original receipt? Oh he has to go to the back to get that because they need to keep track of all voided receipts. That's not my problem or concern. It was the lack of concern for me. Give me my receipts and I will never return to this Lubys. Maybe the manager gets voids so frequently that he has lost his skill of apologizing to the customer for the experience. Maybe the waitress has seen people try to get over that she didn't realize people don't have to eat at your restaurant or any other and maybe they don't remember that several Lubys are no longer in business. So my response to that lack of customer service to both of them is to no visit anymore. Thank you ma'am and sir. The reason I am writing the review is because my experience was disappointing that people have lost the sensitivity to a customer who had a bad experience at your establishment.

Some you win some you Luby's

Some you win, some you Luby's. It is a classic for things like chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak. It's far from being the best in town but it's a nice little diner chain that used to be the biggest in the country, and is still one of the go-to places for sit down diner food, much better than IHOP or Denny's for me.

Got the Angus stake, prob better than godam salt grass. I think Maria was the one that cooked it and its amazing. Also my first time here so when i looked lost, Velma swooped in to save me and was so nice. 10/10 would take my date here

I came to this particular location to get lunch to go because I didn't feel like being Mr. Lonely and eating alone while listening to Bobby Vinton on my headphones. Anyway, just like your typical Luby's, I had to go through the whole cafeteria from one end to the other end before I pay. I decided to get a chicken fried chicken combo with corn and mac n cheese on the sides along with some wheat roll. When you order to go at this location, they put everything in separate containers. The fried chicken in its own box, each of the sides and the gravy in their own little containers. So there I was holding a meal box with three smaller containers stacked on top of it and as I approached the cashier, one of the containers fell and made a mess everywhere. The cashier saw what happened and immediately got up and got me a new one even before I had the chance to say anything. When she came back, I apologized for the mess and thanked her for bringing me a new side. She smiled and told me not to worry about it. I paid, I left. If you've been to Luby's, then you already know that the food at Luby's is usually pretty good. This location is no exception. Also, when you order the Combo (vs. the LuAnn platter) then you get a lot of food. No complaints about this particular location. Will definitely be back.

Fried fish just ain't right...
Justin O'Keith H.

Decided to try Luby's off 290 and 34th since I was in the area. In my 36 years of life, having had many cafeteria meals including Wyatt's, Piccadilly, many trips to Luby's etc. this was the absolute worst. Looks like they have a new vendor for their classic fried fish. It was terrible. I took three bites of this plate and threw the rest away. The dessert pie filling was grainy. This was inedible. There is nothing worse than getting excited for an experience you are used yo having and being so absolutely disappointed. If this is what we are getting now sober the acquisition, then we just need to go ahead and close the doors. This was abysmal.

Fried fish Mac and n cheese
Rex C.

I mean come on fried fish and Mac and cheese. How can you go wrong. I have been getting this dish for the past 28 years! I'm 33 now. Food is always fresh. People are really nice that work there. Desserts are good as well. Not sure why this place has so many low ratings. I was in and out. Food was fresh. They had plenty of silverware and ice. I mean what do you want from Lubys besides good food. They sell good Sunday dinner time family meals.

"LuAnn Plus" inclusive of drink, taxes and tipp - $ 15.62

It was raining, so we entered on the backside of the property and stayed at the pizza & pints area (indoor casual eating spot with amazing freshly made pizza. We also had the best Caesar salad). Great place for couples and families. The crew was so friendly and dozens of beers on tap. Katz' iced tea, too. Large, clean restrooms. More comfortable and more accessible than St.Arnold's (which I also love). This is a must try.

They have a full sit-down restaurant, bar, outdoor patio, biergarten, gift shop, barber shop, dentist....ok I may have made up the last 2. When we got here, we 1st went to their gift shop so I can get a sticker for my garage wall and ended up picking up a tin tacker too. They even threw in a few free glasses. Score! Everything was reasonably priced too. From there we went to the Biergarten because they had a huge TV to watch the football game. To my slight disappointment, the tap list outside was limited and they didn't have flights, so we went back inside. We grabbed 2 seats at the bar and I got my flight. The tap list is very large, and they have 5 rotating tap room exclusives that they call "Fun Series". I always love to see this. Take notes Shiner! Their flights are 5 beers each (always love the larger flight boards.....also take more notes Shiner with your measly 3 beer flights) so I got 3 different IPA's, a brown ale and a pumpkin lager. I usually hate pumpkin beers, but this one was quite good. My favorite was the Rodeo Clown Double IPA. The lady friend was able to get a non-alcoholic beer that they also brew. We didn't get any food, but I will certainly be back to try it.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

I wanted a pork chop or steak and saw this place and their pork chop. It looked great online. When I get there I ate at the bar. It was a coffee bar. Again- I should have done more research. So I was given a menu then I ordered the pork shop. And then the waiter said is that I and proceeded to give me my total. Another thing I have researched. It's counter service. Then I said I just wanted water. I waited for it and he said we have to help ourselves to drinks (later). So ok. Fine. Then later he told me they were out of pork chops. So I got the short ribs with the grits. The ribs were tender. They were tasty. The grits were good. The veg was good as well. I'd give the food a 4 but I would think, since they make their own pastries, they would make a bread to serve with dinner! But no bread so that drops it down a point or 2. I had ordered (pre-paid) for the bread pudding. It was good, legit bread pudding. The place itself is a coffee bar so it looks and acts like a coffee bar. Now to the coffee bar. Someone there ordered and espresso drink. They don't have a knock box and so he proceeded to knock out the very old puck into a trash can under the sink then rinsed it. Then the shot glass looked like it had been there unrinsed from the morning. Then as he proceeded to make the espresso- he had to fill the espresso machine (with tap water). Last- it was Aerosmith on repeat. I like them as much as the next guy, but how about some variety. I guess if I lived in the area I might go back to try their breakfast. Anyway- I ubered there and I wish now I would have just eaten at the hotel bar.

We were greeted and given menus. My wife likes Reuben sandwiches and I love and scour the planet for hamburgers. My wife ordered the Reuben and Rebecca with chips and pickles. She absolutely loved it and said it was the best Reuben since we left NYC 20 years ago. Like I said I am a hamburger aficianado. I will always take a burger over a steak. (not my wife, who thinks that is sacriligious). My bad was that I stopped reading when I read Cowboy Meal which was listed as a burger. It was an AWESOME looking plate and worth just looking at it BUT it was not a burger: it was a salisbury steak!!! I almost cried! On the plus side is that it had a lot of bacon!!! Was it tasty? Meh. Was it a juicy burger? No Way! My side was the smoked paprika salad which was very good. Leaving you walk past their desserts which even a blind person will stop in the tracks. I ordered to go a lemon bar which was very heavy and not skimpy and wife had their apple pie. They didn't make through the night!! The service was excellent and friendly. Will we come back? Absolutely for I want to try their burger. p.s. Really clean bathroom.

Millie's is a popular neighborhood seafood restaurant in Houston's Oak Forest area, known for Southern and coastal-inspired dishes, craft cocktails, and being genuinely family-friendly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, including patios and a dedicated play area for kids, which already sets them apart. They have private parking spots out front and a large outdoor patio facing the street. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. They brought out a high-chair for our son immediately. Inside, the restaurant was busy, but it was a colder morning so the front patio wasn't being used much. They also have a separate backyard patio with a turfed, enclosed area where kids can safely play, which is a huge plus for families. We ordered from the brunch menu. [BRUNCH] +Lobster Roll for $38 - Maine lobster poached in butter, served in a brioche-style lobster bun with fries. My wife ordered this with fries, and I ordered the same dish with a Caesar salad. This lobster roll was excellent. They served the lobster folded into thick Texas toast and brought extra butter on the side. Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. It's definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it as an occasional splurge. The fries and salad were good, but the lobster roll completely stole the show. - 5/5 [KID'S MENU] +Basket of Fried Shrimp for $7 - Served with fries or fruit. My son didn't eat much of the shrimp, but I thought it was solid. He ate all the fruit. He had already eaten at home, so hunger may have been a factor. For the price, this was perfectly fine. - 4/5 Overall, Millie's Kitchen & Cocktails really impressed me. The lobster roll alone is worth returning for, and now that I've seen how seafood-forward the menu is, I'm excited to try more dishes on future visits. Add in the family-friendly setup, outdoor play space, and smooth service, and this is a place I'll gladly come back to for brunch (and more)!

Cool ranch chips with roasted vegetable queso - 10 out of 10, the chips were delicious and the queso was good too. Shrimp cocktail was basic but good Wedge salad with shrimp, delicious and good dressing. Seared branzino was flaky and delicious, but will try grilled next time. The mashed potatoes were good and most of the vegetables. We got the creme brûlée but wasn't a big fan , the custard was a bit thick and not smooth. I would opt for something else next time. Will definitely go back to try more things as well. I think only 2 ppl were working but service was still good and we felt bad that every thing was on them.
