Luby’s

Good comfort food that doesn’t break your budget! Whether it’s a large group or you’re fining alone, this is your place. The only downside is the area where this one is located. There was a local ‘hood rat’ roaming the parking lot bumming cigarettes etc. Get rid of him, gain another star!

Last Saturday in Houston, Texas it was raining cats and dogs. I decided to stop at Luby’s on Greens road because it was on my way home.
Astronauts in the international space station have food better hydrated than this location.
Salads consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and cranberries. They only had Ranch and Italian dressings.
I waited for five minutes for a tray.
During lunch, the had no chicken fried Chicken, hamburger steak (no joke. That’s what they call it), fish or chicken tenders. 8 minute wait.
Had to request bread and the server was not too happy about my choice…
Cashier needed to make change for a customer. No manager in sight.
I hope this was a bad day because this used to be a staple when I worked in the area.

Convenient. Delicious. Clean.
Regardless of what I eat here, everything is delicious! Everyone is always friendly and have a wide selection of food! I will be coming here more frequently for lunch hour!

Went there for lunch… work nearby. You guys ruined a perfectly good veggie plate. My kale was beyond oversalted. It was straight up inedible. Yuck. Heavy salt hand in the back needs to go on probation. He/​she just lost you a repeat customer.

I always love going to this location. The salad bar is fresh and delicious.
This last time I had the blackened Tilapia with potatoes and carrots and peas. The vegetables were the best part of the meal.
I think for a cafeteria style restaurant, you cant beat Luby’s in Greenspoint.

This is the second time I have gone for to go and waited over 30 minutes…

Was in Houston on Business and stopped here craving good Southern food which is surprisingly hard to find in Houston. I had been to a Luby’s 15 years ago and had a hunch they would have some good home cooking. It was better than expected– the fried chicken was like crack — deliciously crispy skin with bacon-​like flavor and moist meat. I love my veggies and I recalled they had great selection which this one did. I selected stewed okra and mexican rice pilaf. Both were delicious with fresh homemade flavor. THey had so many other options it was hard to choose– 3 kinds of greens, black eyed peas, etc. I also got side salad and jalapeño corn bread. Now back in NYC craving this food that I cannot get here. Been on a constant quest in all 5 boroughs and all the soul food and southern spots are mostly sad excuses.

The food is usually pretty fresh here especially if you go upon opening. There’s only certain foods I get from Lubys but this location has them consistently. They are pretty friendly. I LOVE the tilapia and veggie selections… unless certain green veggies have been cooked in pork. But ey, that’s just me.

If I could give this zero stars, I would.
The place has been going down hill for a while now. They recently have remodeled their dine in area and my family and I decided to give this place another shot.
The food is ok. It seems that they keep taking things of their menu, though. After all this Saturday (9÷14÷13), they didn’t even have simple corn as a side order.
What breaks this place is the horrible service we received the past five visits. Saturdays happened to be the worst. It is clear that there is some prejudiced in who the host attend to. Other times my father had to wave one down for them to finally attend us.
Saturday the host came to us and we actually thought this time would be different. We were wrong. All we asked him was for a refill on a coke and the man never once came back. He passed us by countless of times and never once glanced at as again. What really irked me was that the people next to us was being attended to, yet we weren’t.
There was another group not far from us and we shot each other the same frustrated look as we both struggled to get any attention. By then my mother had long gotten my fathers drink but to be blatantly ignored? It’s horrible.
The host are bias and they don’t bother to hide it. They are all, if not, predominantly African American that you only see them attend other African Americans. Yes the area is in Greenspoint so the crowd is predominantly African American but that means the few Caucasians/​Hispanics that showed up shouldn’t have to wave down someone for such an extended time to just get some attention, if any at all.
Lubys needs to sit down with their employees and discuss this. Some might wonder why the place is failing. Well, I’m telling you why. The customer service is horrible and afters a decade of going, my family vowed to never come again.

No wonder Lubbys is having money trouble. This location is a joke. I went in to get a Luann platter and was told I had a choice of Fried chicken, liver, or a chopped steak a fancy word for a (hamburger patty). When did this start i asked? The selection was alot smaller than I remembered but the prices werestill hih for the portion. The best thing about it was it had been remodeled but thats not going to do any good when tha doors shut down. I would never go to any Lubys again.

What happened? Nobody told me nothing!!! Let me say this… I have been going to Luby’s since I was like 2 or 3 years old and at the age of 37 I can truly say that they’ve been pretty consistent overall!!! Inhale found that the way the foods are seasoned vary from one area to the next!!! After not having Luby’s in a long while we stopped at the one on i45 and green road. WTH!!! Anyone that is a long time «goer» of Luby’s will remember the Mac n Cheese has always been good!!! Man on this particular day my Mac n cheese was runny and tasteless! The shiny roll thats usually so warm and buttery was hardly warm to almost room temperature!!! Forget it– I’ll just say that NONE of my food was warm and this was my first unpleasant experience I’ve had in all of my years going to Luby’s!!!

Eating at Luby’s is not healthy.
Particularly not this Luby’s. Do not have high expectations for gettin’ healthy in 2010 if you think eating daily at Luby’s will help you out. They pretend with an actual menu section titled «Healthy Eating», but you know what’s funny? If you click on that section on their website, it will respond with «page cannot be displayed». At least that’s the response I got. The «Classic Menu» on the other hand, no problem.
I come here when I’m desperate. I order the child’s meal because it is the best value and portion size. I choose the fried fish (baked or grilled is not an option), forgo the Jell-​O, and my two sides are usually mac and cheese and either yams or spinach. When I opt for the grown up meal, I’ll get the salmon or tilapia. It’s been surprisingly edible to WTH?!. I always grab a couple of lemon wedges and douse the fish and/​or get some salsa and do the same. Any veggie dish you opt for will have its nutritional value steamed or fried out of it.
Coming here for lunch or dinner depresses me. The dining room’s kind of dark and this location is a questionable area, so one’s guard should always be up.
I’d sooner go to Rocky’s Subs next door, but they’re not open on Sundays. Then there’s always being better organized in 2010 and packing my lunch.

This Luby’s is near the Greenspoint Mall. It has been 2 years since I have been to one in TX, we don’t have them in California and how upscale it has become. I remember, everything was on little dishes covered with plastic wrap, now everything is presented nicely on trays, platters and bowls.
Since it was Friday, got the crawfish with rice, comes with 2 sides, so got the greens and corn. Ordered sweet tea and strawberry shortcake. $ 17. The greens were excellent, not overcooked, still had color, not to salty. The strawberry shortcake was huge! In Fact, all of their desserts were huge.
The dining area is large and clean, staff are quick to clear tables and bring to go boxes and bags.
Large private parking lot, they even have drive through and to go.
