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!
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.
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.

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!!
FameMay 4, 2013One word... "Delicious!" A MUST stop when in town!! Get you a chicken fried steak! Your taste buds will thank you!!
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.
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!

Looking forward to trying the chicken fried steak!

- Kathryn AndersonFebruary 11, 2016I LOVE the cinnamon roll and get one to go every time I'm in San Antonio.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!!!!
Adam StallmanOctober 6, 2012The chicken fried chicken covered in queso, Little Mike's, is the best in the state!
