Luby's, American restaurant in San Antonio, United States
Luby's is a cafeteria-style restaurant in San Antonio where you walk past a display counter and select entrees, sides, and desserts including baked fish and meatloaf at your own pace. The layout lets you see everything before deciding what goes on your plate.
The location opened in 1947 in San Antonio and grew to multiple sites over the decades. The Las Palmas Shopping Center location eventually closed in 2023 due to lease conflicts.
The place keeps traditional American dining customs alive through its self-service line format, where guests walk along and pick their meals from displayed options.
The dining process is straightforward: you move along the counter, pick your items, and pay at the end. Meal combinations come with two sides and a roll, with smaller portion options available for those wanting less food.
The place serves regional favorites like fried okra and seafood gumbo prepared fresh throughout the day. The afternoon manager specials shift what is available, giving repeat visitors new reasons to return.
