Grew up with Lake Highlands, Furrs, and Luby’s...mmm
One misses Luby’s. It was excellent.
The Furr’s/Luby’s Cafeterias were very different from all you can eat pig troughs like Golden Corral. They served you in line, the food was fresh, and you paid for what you ate- not one price for everything. They were also nice places to eat.
There is still a Lubys at Midway and IH635 in Big D it’s one of the last ones remaining. It’s all senior citizens eating it. I have only ever seen a few GenX or millennials ever in there and that’s largely if the grand parents took them as kids so it’s a touchstone for them. Furrs in Lubbock was the place for starving Red Raiders who didn’t have a meal card on campus. Wreck’em!
