Its 95 Luby's cafeteria-style restaurants are located in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, the Rio Grande Valley, El Paso, and other cities throughout Texas; with one each in Arkansas and Mississippi, and two in Oklahoma. Its headquarters is in the Near Northwest district of Houston, Texas.
Its Fuddruckers restaurants include fifty-six company-operated restaurants and 129 franchises across the United States with one in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, five in Puerto Rico, and one each in Villahermosa, Tabasco and Santo Domingo. Luby's Culinary Services provides contract food service management to eighteen healthcare, higher education, and corporate dining locations, such as Texas Children's Hospital, Lone Star College, and formerly, Baylor College of Medicine, which ended its relationship with Luby's in March 2015.
Bob Luby was one year old when his father, Harry, opened his first cafeteria called the New England Dairy Lunch. Bob opened his first Luby's Cafeteria in 1947, focusing on fresh food and customer service. Luby's soon expanded outside of San Antonio, Texas to Tyler, Harlingen, El Paso, and Beaumont.
