Fudds had really gone downhill in the last 10 years... It used to be really good, but I went 3-4 times, different locations, in the past 10 years and their burgers just weren't what they used to be.torrid said:
What about Fuddruckers? I always liked their burgers, but all the ones near me have shut down. Hasn't really changed much in 30+ years. Probably why I like it, and why they are shutting down.
That's a statement I've seen a few post on a previous thread. Sad that is the thought of some. When Pappas took over, Lucy's was on life support. The fact they kept it going all these years is amazing. Watched as they took over and all the canned vegetables were replaced with fresh food. Same with the meats as well frozen food was tossed out. Those changes did raise the price of the food but the quality went way up. I'll miss Lubys but it was a concept that has just died out.neAGle96 said:
Went down hill after Pappas acquired it several years ago. Surprising, because all other Pappas restaurants, except the Dot Cafe, are excellent
Your post had me recall this lady at the Luby's location.UTExan said:
Dang. There was a thread on GB but I used to love the Luby's on S Texas in Bryan. Broiled fish fillet, fried okra, salad and pecan pie w/coffee for dessert. There was a little, eccentric English lady who worked the beverage cart there and never failed to keep the iced tea and coffee topped up along with her banter. This was in the mid-late 80's.
I have my Grandma's, but I will take yours also. I can cook, and so can my wife. Liver and Onions is just one of those that I never think about cooking. Sure do love it though. ThanksAggiebrewer said:JB!98 said:

Do you have their pinto beans recipe? Dinner rolls?Mucho austin said:
Remember, I have the full recipe book from 1980s.
I'll take requests on recipes, but be warned that the portions are huge.
Maybe I'll open a knock off Lubys in the future. I may not be able to survive not being able to get my favorite meal. Fried fish, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, fried okra, roll, coke.
I have already lost many of my favorites:
-Felix queso and enchiladas ( I know El Patio has them, but not the same)
-Calamari from Ruggles at westheimer/montros
-Leche Quemada from Segovia Candy Co
Here is a sample of Lubys recipe:

Not really on topic specifically, but goes to struggling restaurants and we get more traffic on F16 than the Metroplex board, so I'm cross posting here as well for any of you Dallas folks:
Fellow Ags, Braindead Brewing in Deep Ellum is opening back up tomorrow for dine in. Like many places, it's been a rough few months, but one of the owners has been like a brother to me since high school, so I'll be there tomorrow. I'll buy you a beer if you come as well, I'll be the dude in the A&M shirt.
Luby's had THE BEST coconut cream pie and it had that meringue monstrosity on top of it.Burdizzo said:
Do they have the recipe for that meringue that was like three feet tall? Not that I want any. I was just intrigued by the height.
That is exactly what I ordered as a kid and in college when going to Lubys. Exact order (less the gravy).Cinco Ranch Aggie said:
My usual order was
Fried fish with the glop of tartar sauce
Green beans
Mashed potatoes with gravy (brown or cream, depending on my mood any particular day)
White roll
Apple pie
Glass of tea, typically sweet
Sometimes I also got something from the salad section, or a cup of jello
For me, the other way around. Grandparents lived close (too close) to A&M and always wanted to take me to Luby's on Sundays. My roommate worked there and I had heard the horror stories.Quote:
While at A&M I would sometimes take my grandmother to Lubys after church. I wish I had done it every Sunday.
