Luby’s Celebrates the Summer with Three Signature Dishes

The Texas-born cafeteria chain brings back three popular entrees to its lineup this summer

HOUSTON, TX – May 12, 2011–Luby's, Inc. (NYSE: LUB)today announced it will add three of its most celebrated entrees—the Mushroom Chicken Madeira, Honey BBQ Chicken, and Grilled Summer Tilapia—back to its daily line for guests to enjoy during the summer months.

The Mushroom Chicken Madeira has remained highly popular among guests since its initial introduction during the spring of 2007. This classic Italian dish features a juicy chicken breast pan-grilled with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, covered in melted cheese, and piled high with fresh roasted mushrooms and a rich Madeira wine sauce.

First debuted three years ago as a limited time offer after months of trial to perfect a “summer flavor”, the Honey BBQ Chicken is a treat for those who love smoky barbeque. Seasoned with mouthwatering spices and slow-grilled, a chicken breast is topped with a sweet honey hickory barbeque sauce and crispy onion rings for an out-of-this-world combination.

Finally, the lone seafood special on the line this summer is the Grilled Summer Tilapia, a flaky tilapia fillet lightly dusted with ranch seasoning then pan-grilled and servedalongside cheese tortellini and a fresh selection of grilled garden vegetables.

Each entrée is served with two sides and a roll and available both dine in and to-go at all participating Luby’s locations now through August.
