    Prime Rib on Tuesdays, perfectly prepared at med-rare
    Tim H.

    This was my first visit. Don't let the external facade fool you. The food and drink inside are excellent! We came for Prime Rib night -Tuesday. Great cuts cooked to the ideal medium rare. Table service was very good and the bartender knows his business well - a number of old fashioneds and an espresso martini were enjoyed by all. They have a pretty solid selection of high end bourbons. As far as I am concerned, this is the nicest restaurant in the Port Arthur area. It's a little pricey but certainly worth it. Great deserts, I had the crème brûlée and I very much recommend you do too. I hope to return again soon!

    Half fried chicken order

    The fried chicken was really good very crispy . All the sides were on point . Our server was attentive . I love the updates of the place.

    Crème brûlée and banana pudding
    Kaitlin L.

    The service is top notch! I love the dark, quiet setting! The food is fantastic! I recommend the ribeye and scallop potatoes! The bread is so good too! And the desserts are massive!! Perfect for a date night.

From the moment our guests arrived, the manager repeatedly harassed people about whether they had paid. There was no sign posted anywhere stating that party guests had to pay upon entering, and several people were only there to celebrate with us they didn't even eat. Despite that, they were still questioned and made to feel uncomfortable. What really upset me was seeing the manager approach a 12-year-old child and try to take his drink, asking if he had paid for it. That should have never happened. I repeatedly explained that everyone had paid, and every guest had a receipt. I even asked if they wanted to see my bank transaction because the constant questioning had become excessive and embarrassing. Another issue was that they charged children the adult buffet price simply because of their height. They're still children, and that policy should be made clear before charging families. To make matters worse, much of the food was cold. We actually had to wait until fresh, hot food was brought out before we could eat and still didn't enjoy because it was all disgusting. Overall, what should have been a joyful celebration turned into a stressful and frustrating experience because of how we and our guests were treated. I believe customer service should make people feel welcomed, not singled out or accused. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

Young employee Alexandra constantly taking out her cell phone from her back pocket. Checks it every half a minute. She took long to charge me as a cashier because of her finishing up a text. A text to a friend or her boss? Who cares? Phones are not to be your first priority. It's the customer. That's all I noticed as I sat there to eat my hard wheat roll. I wasn't being a Karen. I made the mistake to sit behind her and all I saw was her phone being taken out and whipped back in like an expert cowboy holstering up his gun) That's how much she does it). Manager with yellow hair yells at her employees like she brought her Waffle House habits with her to Luby's. Looks very ghetto there. I noticed a male employee finishing his shift going to his black mustang, placing lots of full Luby's bags in his trunk and taking off. Maybe he paid for all that food! Maybe he didn't. Where's his receipt to show his purchase? I'm sure he paid for half cuz that was alot of bags! This was on Friday Juneteenth. I don't think this Luby's will last open very long. Reason for shut down: lack of management. You can't feed all your friends and family and yourself for free. You'll close down the place. I was bored that day waiting for my husband. So I just sat there eating my dessert witnessing all of their behaviors. Do not go there. Unless you're wanting to eat hard rolls and limited portions. I guess you employees are keeping the soft rolls and large serving portions for yourselves. That's not fair your customers pay top dollar and leave hungry and y'all get the BEST FOR FREE!!!
