Lisa HoltAugust 27, 2011Omg...this place is a awesome little dive with amazing food. Chicken fried chicken smothered in queso and 3lb cinnamon rolls are a must. The place is packed so expect a wait....but so worth it.
Marry AwadAugust 13, 2014The police chief special and the 3lb cinnamon roll. Delicious! We opted for the queso and the gravy to be on the side for the chicken fried steak. Gravy was way better. Fed us for at least 3 meals!
Oldasdirt ELPFebruary 23, 2016Home of the three pound cinnamon roll and has really good chicken fried steaks and it's prices don't break the budget. A must if you go to San Antonio. Service is great also.
Laney MorenoAugust 10, 2017The 3 lbs cinnamon roll is what I came for which came out in a shocking 10 minutes, so that was great. My only complaint is that the restaurant is completely and got cold coffee.
- Quentin HendricksJanuary 31, 2016The 3 lb. cinnamon roll is no joke. Our table of 8 people took it down... Barely. Also, very good chicken fried steak.
- Ron JeramiahDecember 30, 2015Place is off da chizain yo. Stop in for a tasty treat and get the 3lb cinnamon role...you won't be disappointed!
Mario GiacaloneMarch 11, 2016The onion rings are by far the best in town was a little disappointed with the chicken fried steak breaking fell off and steak was a little tough.
Travel ChannelAugust 11, 2011On Man v Food, Adam stops by Lulu's for their 3 1/2-lb. cinnamon roll and a 48-oz. chicken-fried steak known as The Police Chief Special.
roger turneyMay 20, 2014The Sheriff's Special (chicken fried steak) covers the entire plate and with the double portion sides it comes with is big enough for 2 people. Delicious!!

aTyler KehlNovember 28, 2013If you haven't been convinced yet, the chicken fried steak is the way to go! The 3 pound cinnamon roll will last you for days!
Erika ForrestApril 30, 2013This place has been my favorite place in town for years. They're famous for their chicken fried steak, but if you ask me, it's ALL about the chicken fried chicken.
Tyeshia BarnesJanuary 27, 2019I came for the deserts. I was disappointed to find they only had a couple pieces of carrot cake left and The cinnamon bun only came in the 3lb size. The service was very good.
- Ron JeramiahFebruary 21, 2018All you can eat Chicken Fried Steak...with a 3lb cinnamon role to complete your meal.

Visit San AntonioSeptember 13, 2011Long before Lulu's became famous for its huge cinnamon rolls, featured on the Travel Channel's Man v Food, this was the place to get great home-cooked meals. Read more- Outlaw Gillie 915September 22, 2012The Chicken Fried Steak and the 3 pound cinnamon roll are a must!
Claire CobbleMarch 18, 2017Long wait to be seated, long wait to be waited on, moderate wait for food. But the cinnamon roll was superb. We forgot to take a picture before digging in.
- Kathryn AndersonFebruary 11, 2016I LOVE the cinnamon roll and get one to go every time I'm in San Antonio.
Jovanna CastorenoJanuary 28, 2012MMMM... TRY THE CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN, NOT STEAK! SMOTHERED WITH CHEESE! AND JUST TRY AND FINISH ONE OF THEIR GIGANTIC CINNAMON ROLLS LOL!
Gary StallingsJuly 12, 2016I do not reccomend this place to anyone!! Save your time and money. This place is dirty and the staff is really rude! Do not let this place ruin your time in such a beautiful city.
Grady StoweFebruary 20, 2013Chicken fried chicken with queso was good. If you go during lunch, let them know if you want the regular size.
Keba LewJuly 27, 2013My only suggestion would be to have Robert Irvine. Remodel the place.. Good food.. Good roll
Jennifer MendezOctober 22, 2013Best heart attack on a plate food, service is eh, restrooms are either dirty or slippery from mopping (At least that's what I tell myself lol ) I won't go back but that's just me and my family.
The chicken fried steak or chicken. Good sized portions. Aye Mira!
Adam StallmanOctober 6, 2012The chicken fried chicken covered in queso, Little Mike's, is the best in the state!
Eric PescatoreAugust 28, 2010Best chicken fried steak I have ever eaten. Make sure you get the queso. And they will warm up the cinnamon roll for free, just ask.
Try the SAPD queso special. Amazing stuff. The fries here are extra yummy as well. Save room for desert!
Javier SepulvedaJanuary 25, 2011I had and loved the chicken friedn chicken smothered with queso! Then shared the 3 lbs cinommon roll. It was beautiful
Derik TJune 23, 2012The Chicken Fried Steak was just OK. Man vs Food made it top notch to eat that but it was only OK. Do buy the 3-lbs. cinnamon bum!!!!
Michael MunizMarch 19, 2013Great food and great staff. Just son sit next to the restroom. It smells like poop
