Delicious Best Meal I ever had at Luby's, tho it is very expensive, the atmosphere is nostalgic, service is friendly, but the meal proved that it's worth it! It does give you what you've paid for! And it's a must visit! read more

The food was mediocre at best. Wasn't hot. The menu showed roast beef and they said they didn't have it. The waitress was so overwhelmed and it took forever for her to get what we needed. Not what I expected. read more

We came here for my dad's 87th birthday and they accommodated all of us in one section. The server was very kind and attentive to all our needs. The food was good and fresh. The lobby was clean and noise was average. We will be coming back. Thank you for reading. read more

You probably know about Luby's. If not, it's a popular cafeteria/buffet style restaurant that serves a wide variety of American/Americanized dishes. It's especially enjoyed by elderly due the amount of options, retro feel, and senior specials. You will take a tray and walk through the line choosing what you want out of the food in front of you. Luby's has a very large selection of items, which is great because almost anyone you take there can find something suitable. Luby's is a jack of all trades, master of none. I enjoy the food for the most part, but I would classify it all as generally good, sometimes bad, never great. Nothing will make your slap yo momma, but the staples have always left me satisfied; for example, the meatloaf, chicken fried steak, fried fish, loaded mashed potatoes, fried okra, mac and cheese, etc. The specialty items can be hit or miss; the chicken picatta in the attached picture as an example. Another thing to note is the food isn't particularly healthy and never screams organic or high quality. It does, however, almost always leave you content and feeling like your grandma was back there in the kitchen. Overall, the draw to Luby's is its iconic and homey feel, plethora of American-style options, and various discounts/specials. I would recommend you try it out and see what you think, but it may take a few tries to get a good grasp of the options. Established in 1947 in the Lone Star State, Luby's is a longstanding restaurant for a reason, and it's here to stay. read more

Ordered a meal through a delivery service, when my dasher arrived they were told half of the items I had ordered were not available so I had to substitute items over the phone. Biggest disappointment however was that the dessert ordered had whipped topping instead of a real whipped cream topping. It probably seems petty, but shelf stable real cream topping is available, it really makes a difference in flavor and quality. read more

This place takes me way back, it's good comfort style food with a serving of home style service. Ask for something they may not have that day and font be surprise if the manager doesn't have the shelf whipped it up for you right there and then, after all, it's like walking into grandma's kitchen. read more

Ordered a side of mexican rice which was tasteless and mushy. Very disappointed as this is usually my favorite side to order.

I haven't been to Luby's in years and I do not know why. It was amazing! I am going back tomorrow because the fried fish looks so good. My nostalgic go to is the meatloaf which I had with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, string beans and key lime pie. The folks at this Fredericksburg Rd location were so friendly and helpful. read more

We had lunch at this Luby's about a month ago when visiting San Antonio. It was wonderful! Starting with the staff who were so helpful. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was clean and bright with lots of natural light. I have missed the old fashioned service, good food and the familiar feeling of Luby's. Our family enjoyed our local restaurant here on Buffalo Speedway back in the day. read more

I went to the Drive through with my friend for lunch on Fredericksburg Dr in Balcones Heights. We were told one item would take 12 minutes to cook. Please wait for it in to go When we finally got our order, not only did I Not receive my order I waited for, my friend did not get half her order! I paid over $23. In the bag, there's a paper (not a receipt) that tells the person who brings out the food what should be in the bag. When we called for a refund for the items not in the bag , (almost $10), we were told to come back...a 20 minute drive We had a long morning & were starving. They (Troy)promised a refund for the missing items. Never received the refund. Been 2 weeks. We won't be going back there I'm a big fan of lubys....or I was read more

If you want a classic home style meal then lubys is your place. You can't go wrong with anything you order but the classic fried fish is what put them on the map. Definitely recommend read more

I visited the restaurant on Sunday after service with my church crew. I asked the line servers that assisted me if the items I selected had soy or gluten in them, as I'm allergic. I was assured the chopped meat and plain mash potatoes were gluten and soy free. I ate my meal and suffered an allergic reaction due to undisclosed allergens in my selected food. I reported my incident with the restaurant and they didn't even bother to check on my situation. The manager acted bothered and frustrated that he had to deal with me after his staffs carelessness caused me to suffer a medical emergency. I've contacted the corporate office and of course no one answers the phone. If you have any food allergies DO NOT EAT HERE!! Your health and life are not worth one cafeteria meal. Oh, and I've attached a copy of their BBB rating..... Spoiler alert: it's an F of course! read more

On November 13, 2025, I placed a holiday order (Order #1114545) for pickup at your San Antonio (4541 Fredericksburg Rd) location. The order included a roasted turkey breast meal and a sliced baked ham. I contacted your restaurant ahead of time to change the pickup date to the day before Thanksgiving. I spoke with employees twice and also with a manager, all of whom assured me the date was changed. When I arrived for pickup on the revised date, your staff could not locate my order. After a confusing and disorganized process, including being directed to park, wait, and re-enter the store multiple times, the manager ultimately produced the order. Because of poor traffic flow and lack of guidance, I inadvertently backed into a dumpster, damaging my car. I only discovered the damage after driving off from the restaurant. Upon arriving home, I found that while the turkey meal was present, the additional ham I had paid for was missing. The entire experience caused me significant stress, emotional distress, and financial cost (car damage + missing paid-for item), especially being so close to Thanksgiving while preparing for travel. Here is what I request as a fair resolution: 1. A refund for the missing sliced ham. 2. Some form of acknowledgment or compensation for the distress and inconvenience...for example, a gift card or voucher equal to the ham or more, if possible. 3. A review/improvement of your order-pickup process at the 4541 Fredericksburg Rd location to prevent this from happening to other customers. read more

Luby's was a family favorite for many years when our kids were little. We discovered that there were still 5 locations around town, so we decided tonight to check out one of the earliest stores. Arrived at 6:00 on a Saturday night and thought it would not be busy. Boy, was that a bad assumption! The place was JUMPING - line of multi-generational families was out the door! Line moved along smoothly, giving us plenty of time to choose from all of our old favorites. We ordered plates of yummy fish, cheese steak, and chicken along with plenty of veggies and salads and those ROLLS! Everything was ALMOST as good as we remembered from the past. Fresh, tasty, generous portions. We finished our meal and just relaxed and continued our conversation with friends for 1.5 hours! No rush to turn the table, drinks were refilled when needed. Very pleasant environment - even the decor IS outdated! read more

Replied to person who contacted me from Lubys through link as advised and never heard back!

I'm a Lubys LOVER. I'm so sad they closed all the ones near me but today I found myself near one and I had to go. It's been a few months, if not longer, that I have been and it's just as good as always. It's the comfort food and I love that about Lubys. My food was hot and cooked perfectly, sometimes they can be a little light on salt but today was perfect. read more

Hello Everyone, I am went to Luby's today and had the Roasted Turkey with Cornbread Dressing and gravy... it was like Mama was in the kitchen The entire entree was cooked to perfection and seasoned like Home Made! I like Luby's because it's quick to go through the line to get your food but it's NOT FAST FOOD! Plus the staff are like going to your aunties house and your cousins fixing your food, laughing and getting you just what you want. I just wanted you and the staff at Luby's to know that I love the food and the service. You can't go wrong with the Luby's on Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, Texas PS Don't forget the sweet potato with the pecans read more

Chicken strips all batter and the little piece of chicken was tough. Wanted the fried fish but was discouraged given the long wait. Very disappointing because we came so far to dine there. read more

Went through the drive through waited 10 minutes behind cars then get to the ordering area she tells me to wait . 12 minutes later she takes my order . I get to the window and it's another 20 minutes than they tell me they messed up my order and are going to fix it 5 minutes later I finally get my food and get home and it's still wrong. Never going through the drive through again. read more

01/09/23 We haven't eaten at a Luby's in some time. Sad to say it's not the pleasant experience it used to be. I guess they've not recovered (or don't want to) from COVID and all that brought. The salads and desserts are packaged in plastic to-go containers. There are two tiers of Luann platters. One at $8.99, one at $10.99. The entree, two sides and a roll. I went a la cart. A salad, dressing, chocolate pudding (quite good) and jalapeño cornbread (muy hot), with a tea. Their iced tea is still stellar. Husband had the trout almondine, peas, new potatoes, a salad and apple pie with tea. Hungry boy! All of this was $31. Not the cheapest. The food was fresh and tasty, just not aesthetically pleasing, what with all the plastic packaging. read more

Five stars to everything! Delicious Food, excellent service, great ambiance!! I love the variety of dishes and desserts .

they never read or pay attention to your order, always leave part of what you ordered off and then when you call to speak to a manager about it they defer you to uber eats website and they aren't the ones who screwed up your order in the first place.this is the worst luby's I have ever ordered from in my life, it's also about the 7th or8th time it has happened. i would not use it again period. read more

Luby's has been a long time favorite of mine and my favorite entrees are the fried fish amd salmon. Their sides are legendary and always taste great. This is Texas comfort food and it always hits the spot! read more

Luby's - Salmon - American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

One thing about Luby's is that it's not cheap, both in price and quality. For a full entree, two sides, a drink (and you can't pass up their desserts), it's gonna be over 10 bucks. But then again so are lesser restaurants like Applebee's and TGIFriday's. A Luanne platter (name of Hank's niece in King of the Hill) with half an entree is always a budget-conscience option, but not enough food for me. That said, there's a reason Luby's is still around. They make everything from scratch. Everything. And everything is always delicious, Luby's recipes are legendary. read more

Absolutely the best food and service. The veggie platter with blackened fish is my favorite.

Chicken fried steak very thin, mostly big bunch crust surrounding a small thi. Piece of meat. White gravy watery. Mashed potatoes watery Squash undercooked- hard. Carrot cake not like cake at all- very wet thru- no crumb - did have lots of pecans and frosting good. Green jello salad was good- the regular recipe. Very busy. Visit from 4:30-5 pm. Wait staff very helpful. read more

Good good good prices Don't believe the lower reviews. This Lubys is very good very consistent. Good servers good food good people.

It's been years since I've eaten at Luby's. I stopped at this location on Fredericksburg Rd since it's close to one of the hospitals I have to go to. The menu is simple, hit or miss depending on what you decide to get. My brother ordered the chicken fried steak which was a mound of thick breading encasing a small piece of steak. My brother's wife ordered the tilapia which she liked the tilapia was a decent size piece of fish. I ordered the Luann platter of liver and onions, since I like liver and it's hard to find when I don't want to make it at home. The Luann platter of liver came with two pieces of very thin liver that was a bit dry, taste was fine. The mashed potatoes with brown gravy and green beans were good. The serving line seemed a bit chaotic, the cashier line was very slow and service all around could use some work. Definitely not the way I remember Luby's. read more

Delicious food, fresh flavor, good service, family atmosphere, I've loved it since I was a teenager!

Me encantó un lugar agradable, la comida estuvo deliciosa, el servicio de quienes nos atendieron excelente, definitivamente volveremos

We're in the midst of a pandemic and the manager doesn't want to wear a face mask! Shame on him for exposing customers and his employees! His attitude is very negative when we inquired he said we can leave if he chose to do so! This is a health standard violation for the city of Balcones Heights & Bexar county health department! Just imagine where he's breathing and where he's walking behind the counter, who knows maybe some air particles may fall into the food! read more

It's been a few months since we've been to Luby's at the Fredericksburg location in San Antonio. This week, my wife suggested that we go back and eat there for dinner. The place was not as crowded pre-pandemic but there were a few people there when we arrived. Their cafeteria food is good - not excellent but you expect that for a place like this. Now, we've been coming to this location since the 1980's so we're very familiar with their food. My wife wanted the enchilada because they happen to be serving it that day. I choose their roast beef or pot roast with our 2 favorite side dishes and a roll. For the both of us, our bill came to about $25.00. It's not bad, because it brought back memories for my wife who apparently used to eat the enchilada here when she would go there with her parents when she was young. The reason we go to Luby's after all these years is because their food is good old comfort food, it's the nostalgic pull of the past and the reasonable cost to eat there. The ambience of the place is not top notch but for lunch or early dinner, the convenience is hard to beat. read more

They saved our Thanksgiving! Also they saved a lot of ppls Thanksgiving. But the food did not dip in quality and they treated me as if I was the only person in line when it was obviously not the case. A+ service A+ food and A+ everything. We had the fixings: turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, and the like. My mom really liked it! That's a pretty big deal for her, a picky eater. Thank you all read more

Great tasting healthy food and nice service. I highly recommend Luby's cafeteria! Fair prices.
