Item 1.  Business.

     Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. (the "Company") operates 190 cafeterias under the
name "Luby's" located in suburban shopping areas in Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, and Texas.  Of the 190 cafeterias operated by the Company, 110 are
at locations owned by the Company and 80 are on leased premises.

     Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. was originally incorporated in Texas in 1959 and
was reincorporated in Delaware on December 31, 1991.  The Company's executive
offices are at 2211 Northeast Loop 410, P. O. Box 33069, San Antonio, Texas
78265-3069.

Marketing

     The Company's product strategy is to provide a wide variety of freshly-
prepared foods in an attractive and informal environment.  The Company's
research has shown that its products appeal to a broad range of value-oriented
consumers with particular success among senior citizens, families with
children, shoppers, and business people looking for a quick, healthy meal at a
reasonable price.

     Prior to 1991 the Company relied primarily on customers' word-of-mouth
recommendations and community relations activities to promote its business,
spending approximately .5% of sales annually on these efforts.  In 1991 the
Company began developing a new marketing program.  Based on favorable
results of radio and television advertising tests, the marketing budget
increased to approximately two percent of sales for fiscal 1995.  The Company 
intends to continue expending the majority of the marketing budget on
television and radio advertising, as well as supporting the increased
local marketing activities of the individual cafeterias.

Operations

     The Company's operations combine the food quality and atmosphere of a
good restaurant with the simplicity and visual food selection of cafeteria
service.  Food is prepared in small quantities throughout serving hours, and
frequent quality checks are made.  Each cafeteria offers a broad and varied
menu and normally serves 12 to 14 entrees, 12 to 14 vegetable dishes, 22 to 25
salads, and 18 to 20 desserts.

     The Company's cafeterias cater primarily to shoppers and office or store
personnel for lunch and to families for dinner.  The Company's cafeterias are
open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.  All of the cafeterias sell
take-out orders, and most of them have separate food to go entrances.  Take-
out orders accounted for approximately ten percent of sales in fiscal 1995.

     Each cafeteria is operated as a separate unit under the control of a
manager who has responsibility for day-to-day operations, including food
purchasing, menu planning, and personnel employment and supervision.  Each
cafeteria manager is compensated on the basis of his or her cafeteria's
profits.  Management believes that granting broad authority to its cafeteria
managers and compensating them on the basis of their performance are
significant factors in the profitability of its cafeterias.  Of the 190
cafeteria managers employed by the Company, 156 have been with the Company for
more than ten years.  Currently, an individual is employed for a period of
seven to ten years before he or she is considered qualified to become a
cafeteria manager.

     Each cafeteria cooks or prepares substantially all of the food served,
including breads and pastries.  The cafeterias prepare food from the same
recipes, with minor variations to suit local tastes, although menus are not
uniform in all of the Company's cafeterias on any particular day.  Menus are
prepared to reflect local and seasonal food preferences and to take advantage
of any special food purchasing opportunities.  Substantially all of the food
served by each cafeteria is purchased from local suppliers.  None of the
cafeterias are dependent upon any one supplier, and the Company believes that
alternative sources of supply are readily available. 

     Quality control teams, each consisting of experienced cooks and a
supervisor, help to maintain uniform standards of food preparation.  The teams
primarily assist in the training of new personnel during the opening of new
cafeterias.  The teams also visit the cafeterias periodically and work with
the regular staffs to check adherence to the Company's recipes, train
personnel in new techniques, and evaluate procedures for possible use
throughout the Company.

     The Company conducts a training program comprised of both on-the-job
training and classroom instruction in its training facilities in
San Antonio.  The training program is approximately four months in duration.
Management personnel receive one week of classroom instruction and spend
the remaining time on practical training in operating cafeterias.  In order to
draw management trainees from regional talent pools, the Company has set
up satellite training schools in several key cafeterias to make on-the-job
training more accessible on a local level.

     As of August 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 10,950 employees,
consisting of 10,243 nonmanagement cafeteria personnel; 585 cafeteria
managers, associate managers, and assistant managers; and 122 executive,
administrative, and clerical personnel.  Employee relations are considered to
be good, and the Company has never had a strike or work stoppage.

Expansion
 
     During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Company relocated one
cafeteria in Beaumont, Texas, and opened 11 new cafeterias in North Little
Rock, Arkansas; Mission, Kansas; Hattiesburg, Mississippi; Kansas City,
Missouri; Nashville and Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Fort Worth, Houston, Plano,
San Antonio, and Weslaco, Texas.  Since August 31, 1995, the Company has
opened four new cafeterias in Surprise, Arizona; and Corpus Christi, Houston,
and Tomball, Texas.  Since August 31, 1995, the Company has closed a
cafeteria located on leased premises in El Paso, Texas.

     Eight new cafeterias are under construction in Arlington, Dallas,
Fort Worth, Houston, and Kerrville, Texas.  During fiscal 1996 the Company
expects to open 16 to 18 new cafeterias.

     The Company continually evaluates prospective new cafeteria sites and
typically has several sites for new cafeterias under active consideration at
any given time.  The rate at which new cafeterias are opened is governed by
the Company's policy of controlled growth, which takes into account the
resources and capabilities of all departments involved, including real estate,
construction, equipment, and operations.  It has been the Company's experience
that new cafeterias generally become profitable within three months after
opening.

     The costs of opening new cafeterias vary widely, depending on whether the
facilities are to be leased or owned, and if owned, on site acquisition and
construction costs.  The Company estimates that in recent years it has cost
$2,300,000 to $2,600,000 to construct, equip, and furnish a new cafeteria in a
freestanding building under normal conditions, including land acquisition
costs.  The approximate cost to finish out, equip, and furnish a new cafeteria
in a leased facility has ranged from $1,100,000 to $1,300,000.  During 
fiscal 1994 and 1995 a new building prototype has been utilized to reduce
the initial investment in a typical new location.

Service Marks

     The Company uses several service marks, including "Luby's," and believes
that such marks are of material importance to its business.  The Company has
federal service mark registrations for several of such marks.  

     The Company is not the sole user of the name "Luby's" in the cafeteria
business.  One cafeteria using the name "Luby's" and one cafeteria using the
name "Pat Luby's" are being operated in two different cities in Texas by two
different owners not affiliated with the Company.  The Company's legal counsel
is of the opinion that the Company has the paramount right to use the name
"Luby's" as a service mark in the cafeteria business in the United States and
that such other users can be precluded from expanding their use of the name as
a service mark. 

Competition and Other Factors

     The food service business is highly competitive, and there are numerous
restaurants and other food service operations in each of the markets where the
Company operates.  The quality of the food served, in relation to its price,
and public reputation are important factors in food service competition. 
Neither the Company nor any of its competitors has a significant share of the
total market in any area in which the Company competes.  The Company believes
that its principal competitors are conventional restaurants and other
cafeterias.  

     The Company's facilities and food products are subject to state and local
health and sanitation laws.  In addition, the Company's operations are subject
to federal, state, and local regulations with respect to environmental and
safety matters, including regulations concerning air and water pollution and
regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act.  Such laws and regulations, in the
Company's opinion, have not materially affected its operations, although
compliance has resulted in some increased costs.

Item 2.  Properties.

     The Company owns the underlying land and buildings in which 110 of its
cafeterias are located.  In addition, the Company owns several cafeteria sites
being held for future development.

     Of the 190 cafeterias operated by the Company, 80 are at locations held
under leases, including 48 in regional shopping malls.  Most of the leases
provide for a combination of fixed-dollar and percentage rentals.  Most of the
leases require the lessee to pay additional amounts related to property taxes,
hazard insurance, and maintenance of common areas. 

     See Notes 4 and 7 of Notes to Financial Statements for information
concerning the Company's lease rental expenses, lease commitments, and
construction commitments.  Of the 80 cafeteria leases, the current terms of 20
expire from 1996 to 2000, 21 from 2001 to 2005, and 39 thereafter.  Sixty-two
of the leases can be extended beyond their current terms at the Company's
option.

     A typical cafeteria seats 250 to 300 persons and contains 9,000 to 10,500
square feet of floor space.  Most of the cafeterias are located in modern
buildings and all are in good condition. It is the Company's policy to
refurbish and modernize cafeterias as necessary to maintain their appearance
and utility.  The equipment in all cafeterias is well maintained.  Several of
the Company's cafeteria properties contain excess building space which is
rented to tenants unaffiliated with the Company.

     The 190 cafeterias operated by the Company are located as follows

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  
          and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the last three years the Company has financed all capital
expenditures from internally-generated funds, cash equivalents, and short-term
borrowings.  Capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 were $37,246,000, a 25%
increase from fiscal 1994.  This increase in capital expenditures resulted in
part from the opening of 11 new cafeterias in fiscal 1995 as compared to eight
in fiscal 1994. The Company also purchased ten sites as land held for future
use compared to five land sites purchased during fiscal 1994. 

     Capital commitments budgeted for fiscal 1996 include the opening of 16 to
18 new cafeterias:  12 to 13 on sites owned by the Company, two on land held
under long-term ground leases, and two to three in regional shopping malls. 
In addition, an existing unit on leased premises will be relocated to a site
owned by the Company.  At the end of September 1995 the Company closed one of
its El Paso cafeterias which had been in operation since 1951.  The age and
condition of the downtown location, in addition to the impact of the Mexican
peso devaluation, were the key factors in this decision.  Therefore, a net
increase of 15 to 17 cafeterias is anticipated in fiscal 1996.  Construction
costs for the new cafeterias are expected to be funded by cash flow from
operations, cash currently held in cash equivalent investments, and short-term
borrowings.  In addition, as of August 31, 1995, the Company owned 13
undeveloped cafeteria sites, and several land site acquisitions were in
varying stages of negotiation. 

     The Company generated cash from operations of $56,398,000 in fiscal 1995. 
The Company had a balance of $57,000,000 outstanding at August 31, 1995, under
a $100,000,000 line-of-credit agreement with a bank.  At August 31, 1995, the
Company had a working capital deficit of $79,316,000 which compares to the
prior year's working capital deficit of $38,228,000.  The working capital
position declined during fiscal 1995 due primarily to the $40,000,000 increase
in short-term borrowings under the line of credit to fund capital expenditures
and treasury stock purchases.  

     During fiscal 1995 the Company purchased 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock at a cost of $45,176,000, which are being held as treasury stock.  

     The Company believes that funds generated from operations and short-term
or long-term financing from external sources, which can be obtained on terms
acceptable to the Company, are adequate for its foreseeable needs.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994

     Sales increased $28,332,000, or 7%, due in part to the addition of 11 new
cafeterias in fiscal 1995 and eight cafeterias in fiscal 1994.  The average
sales volume of cafeterias opened over one year increased to $2,321,000 in
fiscal 1995 from $2,287,000 in fiscal 1994.  The increase resulted from the
implementation of new marketing programs and from higher average tray prices
over the prior year.

     Cost of food increased $5,388,000, or 5%, due primarily to the increase
in sales.  Food cost margins improved from the price increase on the Lu Ann
Platter, which took effect on December 1, 1994, and an additional price
increase on selected individual items effective June 10, 1995.  Payroll and
related costs increased $9,409,000, or 9%, due primarily to the increase in
sales, higher wages for hourly employees in existing cafeterias, and higher
wage costs associated with increased expansion over the prior year.  As the
expansion rate increases for fiscal 1996, the Company anticipates that payroll
and related costs will increase as a percentage of sales over fiscal 1995. 
Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $10,361,000, or 9%, due
primarily to the increase in sales, the opening of 11 new cafeterias, higher
advertising expenditures, higher costs for a new uniform program, and higher
costs for paper supplies.  For fiscal 1996 the Company plans to maintain the
budget for advertising expense at 2% of sales.  General and administrative
expenses increased $3,342,000, or 22%, due primarily to the higher Company
contribution to the profit sharing and retirement plan as determined by the
plan's provisions, which increased approximately $3,000,000 over fiscal 1994. 
The Company expects the contribution for fiscal 1996 to be more comparable to
fiscal 1995, increasing only approximately $200,000 over fiscal 1995.

     Interest expense for fiscal 1995 was incurred in conjunction with
borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement and is net of $895,000
capitalized on qualifying properties.

     The provision for income taxes decreased $740,000, or 3%, due in part to
lower income before income taxes.  The Company's effective income tax rate
decreased slightly from 37.5% in fiscal 1994 to 37.2% in fiscal 1995.

Fiscal 1994 Compared to Fiscal 1993

     Sales increased $22,935,000, or 6%, due in part to the addition of eight
new cafeterias in fiscal 1994 and six cafeterias in fiscal 1993.  The average
sales volume of cafeterias opened over one year increased to $2,287,000 in
fiscal 1994 from $2,223,000 in fiscal 1993.  The increase resulted from the
implementation of new marketing programs and from improved economies in some
trade areas.  

     Cost of food increased $5,266,000, or 6%, due primarily to the increase
in sales.  Payroll and related costs increased $5,310,000, or 5%, with the
opening of eight new cafeterias.  During the past several years, the Company
has instituted various programs to address the related payroll cost of
workers' compensation insurance; and these efforts, coupled with the revised
Texas workers' compensation law, resulted in lower workers' compensation costs
during fiscal 1994.  Occupancy and other operating expenses increased
$8,588,000, or 8%, due primarily to the increase in sales; the opening of
eight new cafeterias; higher advertising expenditures; and higher managers'
salaries, which were based on the profitability of the cafeterias.  General
and administrative expenses decreased $637,000, or 4%, due primarily to the
lower Company contribution to the profit sharing and retirement plan as
determined by the plan's provisions.  The decline was partially offset by
higher costs under employee benefit plans which were based on the earnings
growth of the Company.   

     The provision for income taxes increased $1,976,000, or 10%, due to
higher income from operations and the new federal income tax rates that were
effective January 1, 1993.  The Company's effective income tax rate increased
from 36.8% in fiscal 1993 to 37.5% in fiscal 1994.

     The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in fiscal 1994, as discussed in Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements.

Inflation

     The Company's policy is to maintain stable menu prices without regard to
seasonal variations in food costs.  General increases in costs of food, wages,
supplies, and services make it necessary for the Company to increase its menu
prices from time to time.  To the extent prevailing market conditions allow,
the Company intends to adjust menu prices to maintain profit margins.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Luby's Cafeterias, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Luby's Cafeterias,
Inc. at August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended August 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Luby's Cafeterias,
Inc. at August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      August 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993

1.  Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories

     The food and supply inventories are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.

Depreciation and Amortization

     Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. (the Company) depreciates the cost of plant and
equipment over their estimated useful lives using both straight-line and
accelerated methods.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the related
lease lives, which are in some cases shorter than the estimated useful lives
of the improvements.

Statement of Cash Flows

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Preopening Expenses

     Total interest expense incurred for 1995, 1994, and 1993 was $2,644,000,
$288,000, and $327,000, respectively, which approximated the amount paid in
each year.  In 1994 and 1993, substantially all of these amounts were
capitalized on qualifying properties.  In 1995, $895,000 was capitalized
on qualifying properties.

3.  Debt

     The Company has a $112,000,000 credit facility with a bank.  As part of
this credit agreement, the Company has a $100,000,000 line-of-credit which
expires in December 1995.  As of August 31, 1995, the balance outstanding was 
$57,000,000, and $61,000,000 was the maximum amount outstanding during the 
period.  The average amount outstanding during the year and the weighted
average interest rate based on the number of days outstanding were $40,400,000
and 6.4%, respectively.

     The credit facility also provides a maximum commitment for letters of
credit of $12,000,000.  At August 31, 1995, letters of credit of approximately
$10,379,000 have been issued as security for the payment of insurance
obligations classified as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

4.  Leases

     The Company conducts a major part of its operations from facilities which
are leased under noncancelable lease agreements.  Most of the leases are for
periods of ten to 25 years and provide for contingent rentals based on sales
in excess of a base amount.  Approximately 80% of the leases contain renewal
options ranging from five to 30 years.

     Annual future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases
as of August 31, 1995, are as follows:

5.  Employee Benefit Plans and Agreements

Incentive Compensation

     The Company has various incentive compensation plans covering officers
and other key employees that are based upon the achievement of specified
earnings goals and performance factors.  Awards under the plans are payable in
cash and/or in shares of common stock.  Charges to expense for current and
future distributions under the plans amounted to $431,000, $1,481,000, and
$1,098,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  No shares of common stock
were issued under the plans during the two-year period ended August 31,
1994. During the year ended August 31, 1995, 4,820 shares of common stock
were issued under the plans out of treasury stock.

Stock Option Plans

     The Company had an Employee Stock Option Plan for executive and other key
salaried employees.  Under the terms of the stock option plan, nonqualified
options and incentive stock options totaling 225,000 shares of the Company's
common stock could be granted at prices not less than 100% of fair market
value at date of grant.  Options were exercisable for such periods as the
Compensation Committee determined, but not for more than ten years from
date of grant.  All options outstanding under this plan either expired or were
exercised as of August 31, 1995.

     In 1990 the Company adopted a new Management Incentive Stock Plan to
replace the current Employee Stock Option Plan and to provide for market-based
incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, and performance share awards.  Under the terms of the
Management Incentive Stock Plan, nonqualified options and incentive stock
options totaling 2,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved
for grants to the officer group, certain administrative personnel, and
cafeteria management personnel.  Stock options may be granted at prices not
less than 100% of fair market value at date of grant.  Options granted to the
participants of the plan are exercisable over staggered periods and expire,
depending upon the type of grant, in five to seven years.  The plan provides
for various vesting methods, depending upon the category of personnel.

     Following is a summary of activity in the stock option plans for the
three years ended August 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993:

Deferred Compensation

     Deferred compensation agreements exist for several key management
employees, all of whom are officers and/or directors.  Under the agreements,
the Company is obligated to provide for each such employee or his
beneficiaries, during a period of ten years after the employee's death,
disability, or retirement, annual benefits ranging from $15,500 to $43,400. 
The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid is being
accrued over the period from the effective date of the agreements until the
expected retirement dates of the participants.  The net expense incurred for
this plan for the years ended August 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 amounted to
$79,000, $78,000, and $76,000, respectively.

Profit Sharing

     The Company has a profit sharing plan and retirement trust covering
substantially all employees who have attained the age of 21 years and have
completed one year of continuous service.  The plan is administered by a
corporate trustee, is a "qualified plan" under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, and provides for the payment of the employee's vested portion of
the plan upon retirement, termination, disability, or death.  The plan is
funded by contributions of a portion of the net earnings of the Company.  The
plan provides that for each fiscal year in which the Company's net income
(before income taxes and before any contribution to the plan) meets certain
minimum standards, the Company is obligated to contribute to the plan, at a
minimum, an amount equal to a defined percentage of the participants'
compensation.  In no event will the required contribution exceed 10% of the
Company's income before income taxes and before any contribution to the plan. 
The Company's annual contribution to the plan amounted to $4,888,000,
$1,886,000, and $2,942,000 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

6.  Income Taxes

     Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under Statement No. 109, the liability method
is used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences) and
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse.  Prior to the adoption of
Statement No. 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred
method.  Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and expense that
were reported in different years in the financial statements and tax returns
and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference
originated. 

     As permitted by Statement No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate
the financial statements of any prior years.  The effect of the change on
pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended August 31, 1994
and 1993, was not material; however, the cumulative effect of the change
increased net income in fiscal 1994 by $1,563,000, or $.06 per share.

     The tax effect of temporary differences results in deferred income tax
assets and liabilities as of August 31 as follows:

     The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 increased the federal tax
rate to 35% beginning January 1, 1993.  Accordingly, a blend of the old and
new rates is used for the tax year ended August 31, 1993.  The reconciliation
of the provision for income taxes to the expected income tax expense (computed
using the statutory tax rate) is as follows:

     Cash payments for income taxes for 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $22,229,000,
$18,752,000, and $20,611,000, respectively.

7.  Commitments

     At August 31, 1995, the Company had ten cafeterias under construction. 
The aggregate unexpended costs under the construction contracts were
approximately $7,952,000.

     The Company has unconditionally guaranteed a $2,000,000 loan under a line
of credit for an unrelated limited partnership in exchange for advertising
rights and a participation in future profits of the venture. 

8.  Common Stock

     In 1991 the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and
declared a dividend of one common stock purchase right for each outstanding
share of common stock.  The rights are not initially exercisable.  The rights
may become exercisable under circumstances described in the Plan if any person
or group (an Acquiring Person) becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of
the common stock.  Once the rights become exercisable, each right will be
exercisable to purchase, for $27.50 (the Purchase Price), one-half of one
share of common stock, par value $.32 per share, of the Company.  If any
person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the common stock, each
right will entitle the holder, other than the Acquiring Person, to purchase
for the Purchase Price a number of shares of the Company's common stock having
a market value of four times the Purchase Price.

     During fiscal 1995 the Company purchased 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock at a cost of $45,176,000, which are being held as treasury stock. 

9.  Per Share Information

     The weighted average number of shares used in the net income per share
computation was 23,908,087 for 1995, 25,981,840 for 1994, and 27,194,502 for
1993.

10.  Business Segments

     The Company operates exclusively in the domestic cafeteria business.
