September 8, 20223 yr The luby's on slaughter is attached to a fuddruckers. Took my oldest there (fudd's) before a baseball game for nostalgia. It was ok.

September 9, 20223 yr Tonight’s dinner slammed.You can have my portion. I don’t eat innards. That would be the liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, bladder, poop chute, eyes, dick, nuts, uterus, pancreas, or any other part with a job.

September 9, 20223 yr We took our kids to Luby’s for the first time ever earlier this week. They fucking loved being able to go through the line and pick out their own food. They were hating (along with my wife) beforehand but I think I converted them. My oldest didn’t even want to try the chess pie until I made her. Wife said she wished they served wine. Our entire meal was 26 fucking dollars lol.
September 9, 20223 yr Our entire meal was 26 fucking dollars lol. How is that possible. Luby’s is great but it ain’t cheap. Did y’all split one plate, one slice of pie and get 4 drinks? That would probably be over $26.

September 10, 20223 yr Evidently Wednesdays are kids eat free. We had no idea until we paid the check. One dessert, water for drinks.Good to know. Will have to try that one on slaughter. Been meaning to

We have a little Italian place that does kids free on Thursdays, and I would rather pay double someplace else than deal with the absolute shitshow that is kids eat free night. It draws out the worst parents, and the kids behave accordingly.
September 22, 20223 yr The boy got braces today and needs to eat soft food for a day or so, he wanted Luby’s max and cheese. Didn’t feel like driving there so I found the recipe online.Pretty damn spot on.https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/pasta-side/lubys-macaroni-and-cheese.html

September 23, 20223 yr I'm impressed that you had shredded American cheese on hand, unless you just didn't want to drive to Luby's and HEB was open.Used Kraft singles. Lol

That is what the Luby's recipe calls for.

December 6, 20223 yr The local small town paper had a front page story that our Luby's is finally closing down within the next 30 days. It didn't make the cut on the list awhile back of the ones that were bought out so I figured this was coming but it still sucks.
December 7, 20223 yr Some sadness in that pic. Salad in a clamshell like a 7-11. At least it’s still a real plate.
December 25, 20222 yr Pretty piss poor showing this year. Luby's on Westheimer had ham and turkey slices in water. Couldn't be bothered to roll out a turkey breast. So instead I got murdered at Cleburne's, King Ranch, and Kenny and Ziggy's. I should have just cooked.
January 21, 20232 yr Found myself on Midway Rd in Dallas so I thought I'd give it a shot. Haven't been to this location in years and wow let me tell ya, I think Luby's really is on its final leg. This particular location used to be pretty upscale and bright on the inside. Not anymore. Very dark dining area with almost no lighting minus the afternoon sun. They replaced the golden walls with a dark blue and brown theme. It didn't feel like the Luby's I grew up with. Food was still good.

April 13, 20232 yr For a late lunch today, we took my in laws to the last Lubys that is still open in Corpus. This was about 1:30 and I’m going to guess I was one of youngest in the dining area and I’m 51. I guess this one has stayed open because it’s next to a hospital and medical complex and several retirement and assisted living facilities are near by and the walkers and wheel chairs were a dime a dozen there today. The food was meh for sure and it wasn’t even close to the Luby’s during their better days.
April 13, 20232 yr My son goes to Lone Star in CyFair, and the on-campus cafeteria had been closed due to covid, they reopened it this year as a mini Luby's
April 13, 20232 yr I’m all for people making a living, but I wonder if waiters had a chilling effect on Luby’s regulars? Probably a small thing in the grand scheme, but people probably don’t want/need a waiter at a cafeteria.

What the hell does a waiter at a cafeteria do? I get the utility of the tea lady, but a waiter?

They’ll bring you more tea, water, butter, pepper sauce, package leftovers, etc… When you tip with credit card at the register, they hand you the tip in cash, and you leave it on the table. It’s an odd system. I hope it’s not some hierarchical bullshit and they all share the tips. Working the line is hot, hard work. Filling up tea is not.

If you roll through the line with a kid that's just got to have french fries, you're handed a number and a waiter brings out the fries when they're done. So tea, water, and fries.
June 1, 20232 yr Luby’s jalapeño cheddar bizznoskets are not too shabby. They get what the Yankee-led Whataburger doesn’t.
