Alright, the place for old ladies and men, is still the place for old ladies and men. However, when you need a lunch meal that isn't a hamburger and fries or sandwich, this is the place to go too. It's all standard cafeteria, American style food, but you feel a little less guilty eating here. I like that you can stay healthy with the salad choices and vegetable sides, or be decadent and unhealthy with things like mac and cheese and their very delicious strawberry shortcake. I really like that all the options are there for you to choose. I've never dealt with cold food, but some of the food on the line is clearly overcooked/burned. I have on occasion asked for better pieces of fried fish and the one time I accepted a burnt corn bread I regretted it. It tasted like burnt corn bread. I think the burnt food is a response to cold food complaints if you look at previous reviews from years past. If you get a number for an order, you will wait an extra 10-15 minutes, even if they tell you it will come out right away. They were nice enough to redo my entire sides, so they wouldn't be cold. However, I wouldn't have accepted that number for my special order, if I knew the to go order would take an additional 15 minutes. I could have easily changed to a different main entree. They seem to be pretty quick during the lunch hour, and only ran into slow service once. I'm happy they're making improvements and adjustments as it shows me they're listening. I definitely don't want them to go back to cold food, but having non burnt warm food should be reasonable. However, if you're a ride or die fan of Luby's fan, you probably don't care. If you're gonna come anyways, get the strawberry shortcake. It is perfect every single time. I'm like the one person in America that isn't crazy about their mac and cheese, but the fried fish combo is pretty great, especially during lent. read more

We came in on a Saturday evening for dinner. Most locations have a "kids eat free with adult purchase", which is great for young families. The food was as expected from Luby's and of course we got the Luann Platter. Things were quiet inside and the workers helped us bring trays to our table and asked us if we needed anything a few times. I will say the interior feels just like it did when I was a kid myself, which means nothing fancy inside and also dimly lit. Now is it just me or has the fried fish portion gotten smaller? read more

Luby's - Luann Platter - Cafeteria Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Stopped in there for lunch today....meal was horrible. Everything bland no seasoning. The Fish almondine tasted half done. My husband said we won't be eating there again. Luby's is off our list for restaurants. Not our first time to eat there, but today will be our last! read more

This location is terrible. While the food may be hot, everything has no taste, no season- BLAND! The ladies on the line are so focused on their own personal conversations that the guests are constantly repeating orders for them to get right. I got home, Mac and cheese taste like water, the fried okra lacks season, the cabbage, did y'all even try? Use any type of meat to season it? read more

I've eaten at different Luby's and they all have the same problem; lukewarm food. by the time I reached my table my fried fish was cold and so was my broccoli. Take a hint from Cleburne cafeteria in Houston; they do not use heat lamps. also the food is very bland but I guess for older folks that's fine. I'm sorry. read more

I'm not sure what's going on at Luby's. Their desserts used to be so good. I've haven't tried it in years. So I bought some cake. A slice of carrot cake. Where's the cake? What happened? It's nothing but frosting. Layers of frosting. Very thin slice of cake. Then I tried a different type cake. That too. Same thing. Thin layers of cake with a very thick layer of frosting. Are they making the cake with some cheap cake mix? Cause the cake part was a bit off too. They used to have an actual bakery Luby's location that made the desserts. That place shut down. So are they just having someone at each location make the cake by some random person? Not an actual baker? So uncool. read more

It has been forever since I have been here. The staff and service were incredible. Our waiter kept checking on us every five minutes. It seemed like. The prices were great. You can get an entrée with two sides and a drink for 999 or a larger portion for 1199. This is cheaper than a lot of fast food places! There are also so many different options for theentrée and sides. The food was so tasty! I can't wait to come back again. read more

Luby's - Chicken fried chicken, mac and cheese, broccoli - Cafeteria Near Me - Stafford, Texas

I ordered 4 plates from this location on today (through DoorDash) and surprisingly enough, the food was seasoned. My cabbage was very seasoned and cooked, not just steamed. I also enjoyed the cornbread dressing that came with the roasted chicken. I think I need to order more. read more

This Luby's is the only Luby's I know of that cooks their food the way it was back when I was a kid. It's perfection. I have tried other locations but they were honestly awful to the point I couldn't finish my food. This is the only one I know of still holding up to its name . The staff here are amazing except for the female supervisor . Attitude every time I see her and her customer service skills are rated at a 0 while her staffs are rated at a 5 out of 5. I'm literally an everyday customer. Don't forget your dessert which is amazing as well! read more

This location Bathroom Stalls (2) Always smelly like SEWAGE BACK-Up & Flooring is very sticky...Have told cashier& male MNGR Couple times Eaten there; but when returning...They still un-Sanitary... Please please do Better read more

This is the place that memories are better than reality. Meaning growing up I had so many fond meals here with my family. I feel like now the food quality has gone down. Some dishes are super bland while others are overly salty. However, it's one of the few places you can still get cafeteria style food at an affordable price. It has become a new family tradition to take my kids here on Saturday where they eat free! They are learning how to eat like an adult here so maybe they will grow up having the same fond memories. My go to is the fried fish and the chicken fried chicken as far as entrees. As far as sides the fried okra or cauliflower. read more

Just left this location and will not be returning. My son's broccoli was INFESTED WITH MAGGOTS. There had to be at least 8-10 maggots in his broccoli. And staff didn't seem phased by it once so ever. Our waiter shrugged his shoulders and the manager was upset about us wanted a refund. I feel bad for whoever ordered the broccoli from here. read more

Good food always, always busy over here. Wait staff is very kind and patient. Houston staple

The food is decent and the service is very good. However, the women's bathroom needs to be cleaned properly. If you clean it, the stars will change to 4 stars. read more

Every year for the past 7 years, I have ordered food for Thanksgiving. This year I must say I will thoroughly disappointed and I will be looking elsewhere for my orders from here on out. As much as I loved eating at luby's in the past, I will not be eating there from here on out. read more

I would like to personally acknowledge Lubys @ Airport & Stafford, my beloved husband really love going only to this Lubys because of the General Mgr. Cahn Lee & his entire staff. The Food Taste & Appearance is very inviting and extremely delicious The service is 1st class, the Abbiance is clean and inviting...The cooks really take their time in preparing everything, just like home-cooked. From the time you enter the line servers are outstanding & inviting. Lastly, all Lubys in surrounding area should take this as a listen in order to represent Excellent Customer Service In all areas and make sure your General Mgr represent their customers like Cahn Lee. I regret not enclosing my photos, but it want happen again. I made a stop over someone's house and they wanted to know where I got the food from! Needless to say I had to share my food along with Location @ Airport - Stafford, Texas. It is mark with 5 Stars due to all this and more. Thank You!! read more

I went by yesterday evening on my way home from work to pick up a strawberry shortcake, BUT because their selections were so poorly made, I couldn't get one. Which saddened me because this was all I was craving to celebrate my birthday. read more

The food at this Luby's is fresh and still hits the spot. Only downside was the customer service super slow and rude

Having never visited a Lubys before, I was it's a must try and a Houston staple. So off to Lubys for lunch! Ordered my employees lunch from here as we found out they were closing due to covid... Ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and mac n cheese! It sounded amazing and like a food coma waiting to happen. What I was greeted with was bland hospital food. Sad, sad, day! The country fried steak had zero flavor and wasn't crispy. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were so bland that the added salt packet did not help... Overall would never return. The food is mediocre and worse than airline food. At least it photographed well... read more

Luby's - a chicken fried steak with gravy and macaroni and cheese - Cafeteria Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Worst meal I've ever had from Luby's. Fish Almondine was old, hard and borderline smelled like fish. Mac and cheese, you could hardly taste the cheese. The fried zucchini was cold. We will NEVER go back! I basically threw $27 in the trash! read more

They must have a new chef/mgr because the food today is outstanding. Last time was mediocre (last month) so glad it's back to better food.

Consistently good home style meals at reasonable prices. Minimal menu changes from day to day with specials daily. Roast pork only occasionally but very good. Typical cafeteria style veg with occasional surprises like collard greens. Helpful staff to supply drink refills and keep the place neat and clean. read more

Went through food line and the employees had no customer service. Asked what the senior meal was and really didn't get an answer. Got chicken fried steak, sweet potatoes, green beans. Chicken fried steak was like cardboard. Green beans and sweet potatoes had no taste. Chocolate meringue pie didn't taste like pie. Don't know what it tasted like. Our waitress never helped us once. We got our own salt and pepper, catsup. She then went to the back to take dished and trays and never came back out. We will not be back. Needless to say they got $14 of our money that is still on the table when we left. Husband ate some of his food but was not impressed. $37.00 for crappy food read more

I came back here a couple of times after a bad experience. Two of the trips were okay but the last one reminded me of exactly why I don't much care for this location. My family and I came by for the breakfast buffet after an amazing experience at the Katy location. The selection out there was so amazing at such a great price that we had to try again. This trip was anything but. The items in the buffet were mediocre at best. The eggs were runny, the oatmeal was ridiculously bland, the hash browns were similarly bland. I think the eggs and the bread were just about the only things that I'd call okay or good. Even worse, the place is a buck or two more expensive, but didn't have barbacoa, chilaquiles, tortillas, or cheese, which were some of the best aspects of the Katy spread. The juice dispenser wasn't working. We got four different glasses of OJ that tasted like flavored water before I demanded a refund for our beverages. They took my receipt to issue the refund, then didn't give it back-- which is a serious issue considering you need the receipt to go back through the line for the AYCE breakfast. I had to demand it back and they handed it back to me crumpled. They obviously threw it away and had to fetch it out of a trash can. read more

Luby's - Seriously? - Cafeteria Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Purchased dinner meal beef liver, black eyed peas and macaroni and cheese. The beef liver was tough, the black eyed peas were pasty macaroni and cheese watery not cheesy at all This was a to go order and I was disappointed to say the least. read more

Service was good and food was great! Clean environment and service at table well attended.

Luby's cafeteria has always been what I have expected, decent food at a reasonable price $$. The last several years the price of plates have gone up, but the quality of food is the same no matter which Luby's you visit. It does sometimes differ on what is being offered menu wise from other Luby's locations on any given day. The customer service is good. It is usually a quiet atmosphere not loud like many places, I enjoy being able to speak comfortably with others at my table. We swing by at least 3 times per year. It's always a treat when we stop by and visit! read more

I usually enjoy eating at lubys but today a group of 8 of us all endured cold food. When brought to the attention of the manager he got a very bad attitude. We began discussing it amongst ourselves and he rudely buts in our conversation stating that he was not rude in a yelling manor. The entire restaurant was appalled at his behavior. I will never come back to this location. Cold food and bad Management is a bad combination for disaster. read more

The cafeteria is supposed to have certain soups on certain days. Often on Tuesday or Thursday they do not have soup listed on their soup of the day!! This is very annoying. If they are not gonna have it, then don't list it. I have spoken to management about it but the situation continues. read more

The restaurant was very clean, nice staff an the food was fresh. I will definitely eat here again, an would suggest it as a nice place to have lunch. read more

Well they finally have gotten the breakfast better for all you can eat on Saturday and Sunday. They make then in smaller cast iron skillets so they don't sit in that steaming metal pan boiling under water for hours. Eggs were great and the Texas toasted bread was soft. Good bacon but all were crispy hard. I like mine soft or at least you can bend it. Sausage was ok too. So took a chance and came back for the little buffet and it's was 100 percent better! Thanks for changing y'all's cooking habits .! Try them out Now! read more

My mom and sister came to visit me and bought food from the Luby's in Stafford. As I was about to eat my potatoes, I noticed a bug in it. Photos are below. Hoping the rest of the food purchased was okay. I'm afraid to eat the cabbage and won't be eating the rest of the potatoes. The chicken fried chicken was okay. read more

Forgot to take a photo, I was so disgusted. Ordered a 12 Shrimp Platter. They did not clean out the poop vein, and some of the shrimp was raw! Never Ever coming here again, and I have been coming for 30 years! read more

We three ate here on "Easter"! The food was horrible. The chicken fried steak didn't even taste like chicken fried steak. The chicken fried chicken was tough and weird tasting. We couldn't fininsh our meals. Should have asked for a refund. Never again. Larry H. read more

Decided to check this place out this morning since it was close by. I wish I hadn't. It was a waste of $20 (2 kids 1 adult breakfast). The buffet variety is very limited. Eggs, a couple potato dishes, and the normal breakfast meat. Nothing to get excited about. There were no vegetables nor fruit. The eggs and hash browns were the safest items on the menu. As far as the meat all of it seemed to be cooked with extra salt. Didn't think you could mess bacon or sausage links up but they managed to do it. Luby's is not native to where I am from so this was my first visit. I'm positive I won't step foot in another one. Like, they really ruined BACON. Side note, the place had plenty of seating and our waiter was very nice and attentive. read more

The Stafford location should be closed, it's old and dirty! The food here is just not living up to the expectations of what the other Lubys restaurants. I ordered a simple chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and corn, the mashed potatoes were bland and the gravy tasted and had the consistency of water. When I told the manager about it his response was " Well I'm looking at it and it looks fine to me." I've been eating lubys for over 20 years and never have I gotten that type of gravy, it was horrible and they should be ashamed to sell something like that! I won't be eating here ever again, I'll just go to Cheddars. read more
