I have to concur with Larry B.‘s review that this has to be Luby’s best kept secret. The place is located on the second floor in the Kelsey Seybold Clinic. I have joked about Luby’s to-go service on how my five minute order takes 30 minutes for me to receive it, but since this location only serve three different entrées each day(excluding weekends) the service is quick. They do have the menu posted online, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated since September 2014. The staff is awesome and friendly. Really personable. My go-to place for a Luby’s craving.

It’s a mystery… Shh! …why Luby’s … Shh! …food court is in such a small location. That fact, plus many people think doctors are evil, ‘Dr. Evil’ comes to mind from the movie«Austin Powers — International Man of Mystery». This review consists of review points(prefixed with«—») followed by a relevant movie quote. — Location: They’re Optimistic. They think a small cafeteria inside a medical building only offering breakfast and lunch is good enough to attract people from the surrounding nice housing to come inside to eat. — Number Two: «Hit me» Casino Dealer: «You have 17, sir» Number Two: «I like to live dangerously» Dealer: [Hit for four]: «21. Very good, sir!» [to Austin P] Dealer: «5» Austin Powers: «I’ll stay» Dealer: «I suggest you hit, sir» Austin P: «I also like to live dangerously.» Dealer: «20 beats your 5. I’m sorry, sir.» Austin P: «Well I must admit, cards aren’t my bag, baby.» — On 3rd floor of Kelsey-Seybold, I am waiting on a relative and have 3 hrs to kill. Some people in the waiting area seem angry at the doctors, and question their motives.— Scott Evil: «I was thinking I like animals. Maybe I’d be a vet.» Dr. Evil: «An evil vet?» Scott Evil: «No! Maybe like work in a petting zoo.» Dr. Evil: «An evil petting zoo?» — Waiting room is boring and loud with people on cell phones, and noisy children in the waiting area, with parents attempting discipline/#Fail with a «Shh!» sound from Mom.— Austin Powers: «That really hurt! I’m gonna have a lump there, you idiot! Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!» — So, I decide to get breakfast. Luby’s is in the middle of the 4-story building on floor 2. There aren’t many elevators, so they’re busy with staff, patients & visitors.— Austin P: «She’s the village bicycle! Everyone’s had a ride.» — There are a cluster of mini-bars for Luby’s, Fuddruckers and Starbucks. For the most part, food is prepared off site.— Scott Evil: «I hate you! I hate you! I wish I was never artificially created in a lab!» — Menu: Breakfast offers basic eggs, sausage, pancakes & French Toast. A sign on the counter says for lunch they offer pizza and Fuddruckers burgers. You won’t choke on the options.— Austin P: «Jimi Hendrix deceased, drugs. Janis Joplin deceased, alcohol. Mama Cass deceased, ham sandwich.» — At about 8:00am, there is no long line here, perhaps because they are still in their doctor’s office waiting area. The woman in front of me who can’t make up her mind asks«What is your favorite?», and the server offers her opinion.— Basil Exposition: «Austin, the Cold War is over!» Austin P: «Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?» Basil Exposition: «Austin… we won.» Austin P: «Oh, smashing, groovy, yay capitalism!» —Breakfast cook is a bit impatient to patients who patiently study the few options.— Dr. Evil: «This is Frau Farbissina, founder and leader of the militant wing of the Salvation Army.» Austin P: «I won’t bite… hard.» — Check-out Line: Everyone who got food from Luby’s and the snack bins jostles for a place in the Starbucks line, because Luby’s line cashier is missing.— Alotta Fagina: «How dare you break wind before me.» Austin Powers: «I’m sorry I didn’t realize it was your turn.» —A long line forms at Starbucks to buy Luby’s food. After a while, a second Cashier finally arrives and opens the Luby’s register.— Dr. Evil: «Finally, we come to my number two man. His name? Number Two. « Austin P: «What exactly do you do, Mr. Number Two?» Number Two: «That’s my business. Now if you’ll excuse, I have to go to the little boys’ room.» — For me, $ 5.32 for one egg, half link of sausage, two thin slices of cantaloupe and a Starbucks coffee. You are used to high prices in captive environments like airports and hospitals.— Dr. Evil: «I demand the sum of… ONEMILLION dollars.» — Eating Area is big & quiet with a good view of the front pond and Holcombe. Most customers seem to be hospital staff, judging by their uniforms. Security Guard asked why I was taking photos. Before I could finish a sentence, he was telling me to put away the camera. I started to ask why, and he interrupted to tell me he had security concerns.— Scott Evil: «It’s no hassle… « Dr. Evil: «Shh!» Scott Evil: «But… « Dr. Evil: «Shh!» Scott Evil: «I’m… « Dr. Evil: «Shh!» Scott Evil: «All I’m say…» Dr. Evil: «Shh… Knock-knock.» Scott Evil: «Who’s there?» Dr. Evil: «Shh!» Scott Evil: «But… « Dr. Evil: «Let me tell you a little story about a man named Shh! Shh! even before you start. That was a pre-emptive ‘shh!’ Now, I have a whole bag of ‘shh!’ with your name on it.» — Food Taste: It was a good breakfast even though it may not look so great in presentation.— Austin P: «Well, no offense, but if that is a woman it looks like she was beaten with an ugly stick!»
