HOUSTON — As iconic to many Texans as Whataburger's orange W, the cafeteria-style restaurant chain Luby's is on the verge of being nothing more than a fond memory of LuAnn Platters and blue jello.
The Luby's Inc. board members voted to liquidate and dissolve the company's "businesses, operations, and real estate" and institute an "orderly wind down of any remaining operations," the company announced in a press release issued Tuesday.

We’d crawl out about 11:30 Sunday morning in our underwear. amongst 400 or 500 empty beer cans, strap on a banjo, a guitar and wait for the Presbyterians. We were waiting for them to come out of church so we could sing em a little gospel music.... give em something to talk about on their way to Luby’s.

When I lived in Houston I ate a lot of lunches at Luby's. At one time the food was very good and not too expensive. They did go downhill - very much like Piccadilly,Morrison's

Piccadilly is a good option for the senior citizen crowd or for people who don't want too cook

Hey now, I still get a hankering for the hamburger steak with a side of mash tators topped with the hamburger beef gravy and some broccoli rice or mac and cheese from time to time. Piccadilly was a Sunday tradition after mass for me and the other Bears growing up.

Cafeterias have a bad track-record for declining in quality.
But the high-quality ones or the ones that maintain a quality consistency, stay alive (Cleburne Cafeteria, Traditions, et al)
It's not that people don't like cafeterias (they do), it's that as they expand they all turn to shite

Not many places left where you can get liver and onions after church.
They don't pretend to be white tablecloth restaurants, but Luby's was fine for what it was. Every time we went in San Antonio they were packed.

My dad ordered it a few times. At that age, I couldn't fathom eating it.

Friend,
Such sad news of this much beloved landmark. I remember eating at one in Houston many, many years ago and remarking to Mother, “This meal is the best meal I’ve ever had in the state of Texas.” It was true then and over twenty years later it remains true.
Another sign of this nation’s impending fall is the closure of so many of our best cafeterias. Cafeterias serve excellent, wholesome American meals to diners who usually have good middle class values of temperance, frugality, and hard work. While many a preacher decries the drop in worship numbers in church, perhaps we should also be looking at the decline in our cafeterias, as they often mirror each other.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Texarkana was as far east as I ever saw a Luby's. I haven't been to one in probably 20 years. I'm guessing Golden Corral was probably putting the hurting on them before rona basically wiped out buffet's.
It's funny, though, I never associated Texas with Luby's. I just thought it was another restaurant.
I always felt Dairy Queen and Whataburger were far more Texas-centric chains... Even though DQ was founded in Illinois, you could be assured one thing when traveling across Texas as a kid... There was going to be a Dairy Queen in every town... No matter how small.

When I was in Lafayette I used to go to the one in the Oil Center all the time, I miss going there. I do like to stop in for a hamburger steak with mashed taters every so often.

There was one in Harding Mall in Nashville. Used to go there some when the kids were little. One time my grandmother ordered the liver and onions and choked on it. Fortunately, my Mom was a school teacher and had learned how to do the Heimlich Manuever. Saved Granny's arse that day...

Was good back in the day like Piccadilly but both started giving very small portions
They’d use a small arse ice cream scoop for mashed potatoes and beans.
RIP. Panchos too
