About this place Luthers Cafe

Luther's Cafe sits on North Main Avenue in Tobin Hill, sharing a block with several of San Antonio's gay bars. It’s a mainstream spot that welcomes everyone, not an exclusive venue, serving comfort food to a mixed crowd. The location is the main draw. You can grab a burger and a beer here before walking a short distance to the Main strip bars, or come back here for a late-night snack after the night out. It’s convenient, not special. Reviews hover around 3.9 from roughly 1,500 people. Service gets consistent praise; the food is more hit-or-miss. Don’t plan on going super late without checking, as no specific hours are listed here.

A local gem. I was here a few years ago, late at night, and the place was the only lit building on the block. The servers were friendly, the patrons were friendly, the food was quick and delicious, the beer selection was decent, and my only complaint is that I could not come back to witness karaoke night. Buy a t-shirt. This is one of the keystones of San Antonio.

I got invited here for a date with my friend Frank (wheelchair bound and disabled) and he treated me to the Youngins Burger Basket and man the burger was out of this world. Very LGBTQ+ friendly which is perfect cause Frank and I are a transgender couple. Me and him have been promoting this place on our show recently, hopefully you all check it out..

I went here with my wife and it was a fun time, we saw a nice drag show and had good food and drinks. We also saw some drunken old man in a wheelchair yelling at some guy wearing a boxing helmet saying he wouldn't be taken to Chuck e Cheese tomorrow if he kept calling him a hambone. I don't know if they were apart of the drag show but it was entertaining again. I will definitely be coming back here.

First it's now Aye Que Chulas 2nd this place is gorgeous. I love the food, the music was great, the servers fabulous and super sweet. I had the Elotero Bowl which is Mexican corn with hot chettos on top and home fried tortilla chips. My friend ordered the loaded waffle fries which came topped with queso, bistec, pico de gallo, crema and guacamole. This place is perfect for good eats and fun times
