Luby's Announces New Spring Menu Items; Exciting New Tastes Sure to Delight Guests.

HOUSTON -- Luby's, Inc. (NYSE:LUB) today announced four new combination meals as part of its spring new product roll-out: Sweet Pepper Salmon, Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Tempura Fried Fillet, and Southwest Chicken Breast. These four new combination meals are yet another example of Luby's bringing its guests fresh, new tastes to complement the Luby's favorites they have grown to love.

"We're very excited about these four new items - and we think our customers will be as well!" said Laurie Shults, Marketing Director at Luby's. "By introducing exciting new tastes like the fresh tomato and red pepper relish of the Sweet Pepper Salmon or the spicy salsa of the Southwest Chicken Breast, we've once again taken the Luby's menu to a new level."

The Sweet Pepper Salmon entree is flavored with a blend of spices, grilled to perfection, and topped with a relish of sweet red peppers and tomatoes. It is a new take on a consistent Luby's favorite. The Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is lightly coated with parmesan cheese breading and baked. This new presentation of one of Luby's most popular fish entrees is sure to delight the guests that try it. The Tempura Fried Fillet is prepared in the Asian tradition, using a light tempura batter to create an entree that will tempt even the most loyal Luby's Fried Fish eater. Finally, the Southwest Chicken Breast is a juicy chicken breast, blackened in Cajun spices, and topped with melted cheese and a delicious Southwestern salsa of black beans and sweet corn.

"Springtime at Luby's means seafood, and with ten fantastic options on our menu, our guests have a lot of great choices. In addition to our new items, we're also offering Luby's classics like Cajun Etouffee, Catfish and Shrimp platter, and the Luby's Fried Fish," said Shults. "We invite our customers to come in and check out one of our new seafood items or enjoy an old favorite."
