    Chicken picatta, corn casserole, fried okra
    John M.

    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.

    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.

    Allergic reaction to undisclosed allergens in meal

    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!

    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!

    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.

    The variety of choices at Luby's will have your Taste Buds Happy

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

    I enjoyed turkey and dressing. The servants were excellent and the price was fair! I wish we had a Luby's in my home town.

    While I was in San Antonio for a work trip, I wanted something that was local and not your typical…read morefast food stop. I also knew that I wanted something that felt like home. So, I looked up a few places and found this gem not too far from work. I looked at the menu ahead of time, and new that they were good for their burgers, but I was really craving a chicken bacon and avocado sando. I pulled in, and went inside, definitely a cozy warm little vibe. I was greeted immediately and asked for the grilled chicken sandwich, add bacon, add cheese. However, they only had guac vs the avocado, and I opted out for that. I added a side of fries too, bc all the photos looked great. I took my food to go, and could not wait to get back to campus to dig in. This sandwich was soooo good. It was grilled just right, juicy tender, bacon crispy, cheese all melty. Add some lettuce, onion, pickle, with mayo, and it all just worked really great together! I do wish I had the avo, but I digress! The fries reminded me of home fries from 5 guys or other home made style fries. They stayed nice, hot and crispy for my drive back to work. This will definitely be a place I keep on the list when I'm in town visiting. Gotta try that burger next!

    Came to babes for the first time and it didn't disappoint. There's nothing fancy about this place…read moreand that's exactly what it should be. We came around 11:30 am on a Friday and it wasn't very busy. Our order did take a while to come out. Regardless, everything came out right and fresh. The burger buns were perfectly toasted and gave the burger a great flavor. The fries were ok. We also had a side of fried jalapenos which were alright. Wouldn't get it again. We ate outside since the inside can get a bit smoky from the cooking but it's so loud out there! Anyways, burgers were good, service was friendly. Check it out and give them a try.
