Pretty sure there was a thread about a month ago when it was announced. You are a little late to the party.

Pour one out for rectangle fish

liver and onions
cabbage
fried okra
jalapeno cornbread

Only thing I'd miss from there is the chopped steak covered in cheese, scallions, and bacon bits.

Hardly fine dining, but damn if those things didn't hit the spot.

I do miss Fuddrucker's.

I remember being so young and small I would have trouble carrying the tray. I was always nervous I would drop it...

Fried fish
Fried okra
Mac n cheese
White roll
Apple pie with half and half poured over

My grandfather loved, and I mean loved, cafeterias, so I ate at a lot of them growing up. Luby's of course but also Piccadilly and Furr's and then he knew where all the local ones were in a lot of places after years of delivering cars. There is a whole lot of nostalgia for me when it comes to these places especially coming up on the anniversary of his passing.

Great memories and sorry for your loss. I have the same memories, except in my case it was grandma always steering the ship.
The anticipation of pulling into the parking lot....walking in to 'see how long the line is' (quite often it was out the door, especially on Sundays)....finally getting your turn and grabbing the plastic tray (often with a bit of water on it from the dishwasher & the napkin roll of silverware - which I'd use to mop up the aforementioned water), then running the gauntlet.
As a kid I was usually first since I wasn't buying. But I always liked watching how they'd slap the paper ticket to the tea glass of whatever grownup in the family was buying that day. Then the search for a table while carrying the huge tray.
Later in life I was the one going last through the line and getting the (hefty) paper ticket slapped on my tea glass. That often meant having to do the slow confused walk to see where the table was that everyone else had chosen.

Oh and for the record:
Fried rectangle
Fried okra
Cabbage (never had better)
Big garlic Texas toast
Chocolate milk
