    Somehow the Luby’s on Steck is still open and delicious. Went with the classic combo last night.

    Luby's from both perspectives, as a customer and then a manager.  The Killeen massacre happened exactly one week before my first interview with Luby's, in fall 1991.  I was an older college student fi

    Hit up the one in Plano for lunch. Liver and onions fresh off the grill. Damn good.

Somewhat.  Yes.  But mostly I just hate catfish.

Doesn’t Pappas own Luby’s now ?

To me that is a chain that can come back with a vengeance with right locations.

I am all for it.

My grandparents lived in Temple.  I can't tell you how many times we ate with them at the Picadilly in the Temple Mall.  And I ain't complaining one bit.

Drove up Steck toward Mesa for the first time in a while last week, and shed a tear for the flatness that was once Luby's.

Piccadilly was a Louisiana outfit, and as a result, their gumbo and fried catfish was on point.

Probably ate 100+ meals at the PIccadilly inside Parkdale Mall in Beaumont growing up.

There's still one in Denham Springs not far from my in-laws house. One of these days the wife and I will have to stop in during a visit. I'm sure the nostalgia will be better than the actual food.

No, an activist shareholder forced Pappas to divest Lubys

A, but not an A+.  Because I can't understand how you would choose sliced roasted taters over mashed taters with gravy as part of that meal.  You're a mysterious and unusual man, and I do not understand your ways.

This was a paired combo including sliced potatoes with onions + 2 sides. That and I like scalloped potatoes with onions. They go great with cream gravy ... few things don't right. They had the same combo with chicken fried chicken.

My standard order since I was a tyke going through the Wyatt's Cafeteria line is CFS, mashed potatoes with cream gravy and corn + dinner roll. I'm a little more variable these days with my sides but I seldom omit mashed potatoes with gravy as one of them. So if it hadn't come with the scalloped potatoes, it would have most likely been mashed potatoes paired up with whatever looked good to me on a given day.

I find the fried okra to be hit and miss at Luby's though and today was no exception. Probably won't get them again. Have far better luck at BBQ joints and southern cafes with fried okra being fresh and on point.

those potatoes looked good

You savages need to order the gravy on the side, and pour it on right before you eat it. Keeps the breading crispy. 

I dip mine into the gravy on the side

Eat faster

Damnit, I need to hit up Luby's. I can't decide between the fried fish and liver and onions.

Get the liver and onions.  It’s something you can’t get most places and unless you’re single can’t cook at home either.

Amen to that!  I cook liver and onions on my back porch burner. 

To be fair, I make my wife grill her salmon or whatever fish she is eating out there too!  Nobody has time for those smells.

I tried making homemade boudin one time in the house. Almost led to a divorce, so yes, a side burner on the gas grill is almost as valuable as a side piece. 😂

My grandparents used to take me to the Picadilly at Parkdale Plaza in Corpus every couple of weeks.  Damn, those memories.

Good lord! 
I may actually have to go downtown for this one…..

http://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/there-is-a-new-lubys-in-downtown-austin/amp/

Just went there for lunch today with one of my partners.

Guys....it's fantastic.  It's a shorter serving line and limited menu.  Like today, the entrees were roasted turkey, roasted chicken, chopped steak, cheese and bacon-topped chopped steak, baked fish, fried fish, and CFS.  Sides included fried okra, mac and cheese, rice pilaf, green beans, corn, and spinach.  Luann with an iced tea set me back like $13 - not bad at all for a downtown lunch.

There was a crowd.  We found a place to sit, but tables ended up full.  I will be back.  It was a nice treat.

Let us know the days you won't be there so there is food left for us.

Man, I even got the Luann - I'm a delicate little lunch eater these days.

Oh, and shame on me -- I forgot to mention that they also had cheese enchiladas on the entree line.  They looked glorious.
