After watching a movie at nearby theater, a friend recommended giving Luby's a try. Went on a Tuesday, around 3pm. I would say they were at 60% capacity at that time. This was a cafeteria style restaurant where you get a chose your dishes and staff prepares it for you on the other side of the tray line. Got our trays and started in line ready to pick our main dish. We got the option of a main dish with 2 sides. The selection was huge, from enchiladas, beef, chicken, fish, Turkey, and more! Not to mention the many choices of sides. I decided on the Salisbury steak, with mac n cheese, and rice. Got seated and dug in. Steak was excellent, topped with a gravy sauce and sautéed onions. Rice was good but the mac n cheese was very dry. Ended up not eating it. Our waitress, Rhonda was fantastic! Very attentive and even refilled our drinks without even asking. Now that's service, when your waitress can anticipate when you want refills! Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Luby's near Gulf Freeway. Food was great and the service was excellent. Other things that were of concern are only having 2 options to choose from on soups, especially when they had so many options on everything else. Definitely recommend giving Luby's a try, especially if you are pretty hungry and want a good selection of food options. read more

Awesome Amazing Life changing Best food ever Great service Friendly waiters DELICIOUS read more

It's Luby's- Luby fish I'd good pies are good and tea is expensive- better than closed one on NaASA

NO AC!!! It is miserable here. The manager wanted to laugh it off and blame it on windows. REALLY?!?!?! The food is finally better. We have been eating here a couple of times a week. The past 4 visits it has been so hot that we had to leave. Right when we get our Lubys back we have to turn and walk away. AGAIN! read more

The last four times we ate at the food is not the same. It's like they have substitution objects that are supposed to be like the normal LubyS fantastic food. Nothing taste the same. We are so disappointed. We are guessing they had to change vendors and the quality is not the same as we have found in a few other places. Read the other day that Lubys is coming back to Texas. Just hope it goes back to being the good old original Lubys. When the mashed potatoes and brown gravy don't taste right, you know something is off. Wanting to go back, but just can't bare the thought. ‍ My kids grew up eating at Lubys and I used to take my grandkiddos and they always enjoyed it especially the colorful variety of Jell-O. Hoping Lubys gets it back together. They closed the one in Deer Park & I've been told the best Lubys in my opinion on Nasa road 1 down from the Space Center also closed. They had the best chef at that location. Hoping life can go back to good vendors, because it wasn't the staff or the cooks! As in other restaurants, the quality & taste is so noticeable. C'mon Luby's .... Here's hoping things get back to normal Luby's. read more

I have always loved Lubys. It was disappointing when they started closing locations. Now I have to search to find one which their aren't any. Lose to where I live. read more

Please do not eat here. The staff is rude. They are dirty here and the line staff is rude. The girl that got my salad drop a cucumber on the tray and picked it up with her bare fingers and placed it back on the salad. I said Omg I don't want that. She said why? It's clean. As I went down the line to get my fish order they lady kept rushing me. Keep in mind it's 2 pm nobody is here!!! But don't worry it gets better!!!! I SAW A ROACH!!!! Crawling all Over the dessert area!! I wanted to die! I told one of the girls that worked there that there was a ROACH having a smorgasbord of fun over the pies! She screamed and told another lady who came over with a tissue paper to kill it! They did not remove the pies but just left it there!! I almost threw up! I just left. They offered to feed me for free but I said no thank you!!! read more

I've been back a few times for lunch and the food was very fresh and good. They have a good assortment of things to choose from. It seems as though things have improved and I will go back. read more

I like the atmosphere, location and Its plenty of parking. Food is pretty good and always looks fresh, especially the desserts!! I'm always torn between the cod square fish and chopped steak! Only thing I would change is the proportions. That one piece of fish and two sides don't fill me up. read more

I've been back to Lubys since my last not so good review , place was clean . Food would have been warm but lady in front of us spilled her water in tray. So ten min. Later we got to pay, and sit down. They don't care if you're held up. I always feel like they want to know if you need cash back for tip that is not warranted. I always tip when I feel service was good. Where is manager who should be overseeing things. read more

Im still trying to understand how i just spent $45 on lunch for 2 people. This is cafeteria food not cuisine. The food was bland and ordering is difficult. There arent signs explaining what you get or prices other than a luanne plus and upcharges. Wont be back ever again. read more

Luby's - Way too expensive - American Near Me - Webster, Texas

It's a Luby's cafeteria, what can I say. Seems like years and years ago they used to be better, but I haven't enjoyed eating at one in a very long time. A mystery to me is why there's so much patronage at this one when there's little at the one in Nassau Bay and they're essentially the same. I can't explain why, but for some reason we thought this one might be different so we tried it today. Nope, same ol', same ol'. I think they may have a slightly larger selection than the one in Nassau Bay, probably because they have so much more traffic. We waited in a VERY long line. We had the Parmesan Chicken. It was Lubylike (translation: it wasn't appetizing). We also had new potatoes, corn casserole and Texas Toast (or garlic toast?). The new potatoes were greasy, but I like greasy so they were OK. The corn casserole was the best of the lot. The toast was toasted and pretty much tasteless. They're sort-of cheap and I'm sure the food it safe, so if you're on a extremely tight budget you can make do here. For us oldies they have an even cheaper option (the Senior Luann[sp?] Plate) in the middle of the afternoon. UPDATE: We went by today (April 6, 2015) and I guess this place is a little better than the one in Nassau Bay. We had the meatloaf and it was okay. If you don't want to wait a long time get there early -- we arrived about 5pm and the place was almost empty.. ___ We've Eaten Out Every Meal for 25 years read more

Food was excellent but issues trying to do take-out. Online did not have one of the entrees so I tried calling it in. I was on hold them message said there is no one to take your call and hung up on me. I went in to take-out counter and got an eye roll asking a question. So I went through the server line and everyone friendly. Cashier was pleasant but didn't look too enthused. I know it's hard on the food industry and all my other visits were great read more

With restaurants hurting the way they are during Covid. It is interesting that they not only refused service but also made us feel unwelcome. read more

Not same as old Luby's, sad. No homemade clover leaf rolls, which when I was growing up were the best!!! No homemade pies like it use to be, sad. If the Pappas brothers want their margins to go up, DO BETTER!!!! Make better food, don't just back the Cysco truck up and unload frozen nasty food! Eat your OWN food here and let me know how it is for you! read more

It was horrid! My food was luke warm. The servers were ghetto! My waitress was not attentive or available. When I went to the manager to bring it to his attention he seemed bewildered. I haven't had Luby's in years I'd rather spend more money and drive further to go to Cleburnes where I know I am appreciated as a customer and that my food will be good. read more

Let me be frank. I was a Luby's shareholder for many years (even when the stock was gradually loosing its value over the years, since I was a firm believer in the concept and the management. Well that went down the drain when I got severe food poisoning from the Fuqua location that sent me to Memorial Herman for 11 days. It was due to me being served food not held at safe holding temperature. Well after that incident and how management showed a lack of empathty with my complaint, I finally saw the light and went to Etrade and hit the sell button on 1000 shares at market price with a goal of never setting foot at any Luby's location ever again. Well it has been a few years down the road and they are still open (well I am pretty suprised considering how many millions they are loosing each quarter from the last set of financials). So I decided to take a gamble which I should know better for my pocketbook and my health now since that previous incident. Against sanity, I went there and ordered my usual combination of foods (Chicken fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, and mashed potatoes). The food was COLD AND INEDIBLE (EXTREMELY SALTY). Again, Luby's STUPID USE of heats lamps have failed to maintain SAFE HOLDING TEMPERATURE. Since I already experienced such SHITTY QUALITY before and decided not to even bother to complain the the nonexistent management or the "waitress". Got up and walked out leaving a pretty full tray of food on the table (I never waste food). This is definitely my LAST TIME FOR SURE I EVER SET FOOT IN A LUBY'S EVER AGAIN. BTW, the stock price was $1.45 at closing that day. read more

I like the kids eat free days and food is always good but the food line crew always rush and are extremely rude. That won't stop me from coming back but damn! Haha. Rude rude rude. read more

I dunno. Maybe it has to do with Luby's being bought out by the Papa's franchise? They were a lot better before and offered better quality food. Also, I do not get why there are waitresses--there is absolutely no need for them. I don't eat at this one, or any other Luby's anymore. read more

Have visited the Webster, TX location twice and both times been extremely happy. Kids eat free on Wednesday and Saturday, so that's a great deal but their prices are reasonable anyway. I love the chicken fried steak & gravy, others like the fried fish, and the kids love the chicken tenders with mac & cheese. It's a casual dining experience that is great! And the help to the table when with children is priceless. We will be back! read more

Well, I gave in and tried this location again recently since the company was apparently bought out. And wow! What a nice surprise! The cheesy steak meal was perfect, and the yeast rolls were fresh and delicious like they used to be. We've eaten there twice in the last two weeks, and both times were just fantastic. We WILL be going back, and I'm so happy to have this Luby's back in our regular rotation. I salute the new ownership and employees for making this place as good as it ever was. Thank you. read more

I'd never been to a Luby's before, but came out of Hobby Lobby and decided to try something different. Wish I'd have just stuck with fast food for tonight. First, I took a look at the menu online before ordering. It shows a $7.99 combo with two sides. I call, and ask for the $7.99 chicken fried steak meal. Picked my two sides, then was told they weren't serving those today (website shows they were). Chose my different sides, and went to pick it up. Rings it up and it's $10.99. I asked about the price and was told they don't know why it's listed that way. Paid my $11+ after tax, and took it home (less than 3 minutes away) Order: Chicken Fried Steak Mashed Potatoes Black-eyed Peas The chicken fried steak consisted of mostly hard crunchy batter that just peeled off the small portion of tough tasteless steak. The white gravy I chose was very watery, but did have a little flavor which helped out. Mashed Potatoes weren't horrible or amazing. Black-eyed peas were mostly water with little flavor. I'm about 30 minutes past eating this meal, and it just feels like a grease pit in my stomach. Do yourself a favor and skip this place, at least for chicken fried steak. For about $1 more I'd HIGHLY recommend the chicken fried steak meal from Twin Peaks just one exit down. They give you green beans mixed with bacon, REAL mashed potatoes, and a monster portion of chicken fried steak with a delicious jalapeno white gravy. read more

Whatever happened to the Lubys we used to know and love?? I had such high hopes for this new location and it delivered for a short time, but it has now sunk to two miserable stars. Ive had three bad meals there in a row so Im out. The last time my family went, the roast beef was about a four inch thick block of dried out, overly seasoned butt piece of meat. No thanks. We were told that it would be a 20 minute wait for white meat chicken. No thanks. We settled on dark meat chicken and liver and onions since most of the other available choices were in the $13.99 price range. For that money I will go to a real restaurant, not someplace I serve myself yet am still expected to tip. Anyway, when I began eating my dark meat chicken, (since I couldnt wait 20 minutes for white), blood began oozing from my meat. Uncooked chicken. No thanks. Come on, Lubys. Come on. read more

The burgers there are amazing! The manager (I forgot to ask for her name but she wears glasses) is very helpful and polite. Definitely coming back. read more

I will never in the rest of my life visit this particular Luby's ever again. The staff serving food is extremely rude and rushed. The food was tasty but cold as hell which isn't healthy. The manager was not accommodating when I announced my dissatisfaction with the food temperature, she just acknowledged my complaint with a head nod! Really Lubys? This location and maybe even the entire company no matter the location has lost my trust and money! read more

We went to the new Luby's on I45 between Bay Area Blvd and Nasa Parkway. They have upgraded their quality of food. It is served hot from the steam table as it was if years past. They have increased their selections of meats, vegetables and desserts. This reminds me of what Luby's was in the past. The service was incredible. I believe they are trying to be get better and back to quality food they use to serve. read more

Have always loved Lubys,, but they have gone so far from the original concept that the food is suffering because of it.. Tasteless chicken $13 for a dry porkchop and every single time we have come her there is no roast beef .. staff really could care less...my roll was hard and old not like yummy rolls from the old Lubys ,,greasy old new potatoes that were rubbery. sad sad sad ..won't eat here again read more

The new location is very clean and attendant was very attentive and friendly Not too impressed with the serving line though First station was the salad bar No server in sight Then four employees tried to decide who was to work that station When they finally decided, she had to find gloves to serve Not a big deal but it set the tone for the other stations Management can get their "hiccups" fixed Food was typical cafeteria food We went for the Senior Luann special and were not disappointed We will go back soon to see if serving line has improved I was impressed on the utilization of space Restrooms were common facilities with Fuduckers Very clean read more

Avoid this place. Two of the 4 people behind the counter were rude. The cashier seemed to be bothered by having to ring up our order. Unrolling the silverware from the black fabric napkin releases the smell of old rancid grease that is a sign that they obviously don't properly wash their linens. Not to mention the smell can't be missed so they obviously don't care about it. I cut into my Angus chop steak, that is tagged as "medium", only to find it raw in the center. There is no way this piece of meat was cooked to the required 160 degrees for ground meat to be safe. This location sufferes from a serious case of neglectful, careless, and possibly negligent management. read more

This is the second time we have visited this establishment. I like the food but it is hard for me to understand how the staff or management allow pots of food on the line with no clear heating source to maintain the proper temperature. I have been in foodservice for at least 30 years and know heat lamps over a deep pot of food is not going to maintain a consistent temperature. The cabbage and broccoli I had was well below 145° which is a definite no no. If this does not change I will NOT visit here again. Even at peak times there's no excuse for this practice. Health department needs to be notified. read more

Today was my worst experience here I walk the tables are dirty I get in line the workers leave and dont greet you before the leave I got my food sat down and the same table is still dirty my waiter takes to long and the food is to salty read more

We were out shopping and saw a BRAND. NEW. LUBY'S! We decided to check it out. I knew ahead of time it was going to be typical overpriced old people cafeteria food. Pretty sure that is why its always been over priced, even at the nastiest locations. Old people are easy targets, but I digress... HAIR IN MY FOOD. I repeat: HAIR-IN-MY-FOOD. Not mine - Im a redhead. Picked 4 strands out just to see how much was in it... HBIC (Head B In Charge) was running around YELLING at the waitstaff in the dining room. Pretty sure the cake was plastic. Revolting. Drink was NEVER topped off or refilled...NOT ONCE. Dont be fooled by the pretty new building, this place is SICK. Oh yes and it SHARES a bathroom with the Fuddruckers next door. Let that sink in... read more

I have loved Luby's since a kid and I get the same excitement everytime I enter my nearest restaurant in Webster, Texas. All the staff, servers and waitstaff are eager to help everyone with their requests and have smiles and friendly conversation. There is one particular server, "Aggie," I believe or Agatha. This young lady is just an asset to the establishment! What service! What joy she brings! We all face challenges daily and a smile speaks volumes! She gives stellar service to all when on duty! The establishment is clean and neat which is rare these days! Thank you for a great, family-oriented restaurant that has lived up to great service, quality and exceptionally tasty food for years! Kudos and keep up the great work! Many blessings! read more

Food was great and customer service was even better!!! We will be back soon! Thank you Agatha for such good customer service!

I went in for lunch one day and now it's my best lunch spot the food is delicious and the customer service was great

This Luby's is fantastic! Especially the GM Charles Keith and supervisor Juan. They both are very good with their customers and very attentive. Agatha one of the servers is hands-down one of the best waitresses that I've had the pleasure of meeting. Most importantly the food is great! Come by this restaurant and try their delicious meals freshly made every day. read more
