We arrived early and had no difficulty in being seated close to the Riverwalk. The service was good, the breakfast was fabulous. Sitting outside was splendid. I had the pancakes and my sister had the biscuit which was huge! The house was beautiful, and after our mostly sleepless night, gave us a wonderful taste of San Antonio. Coffee was marvelous.

I guess that every restaurant / attraction will have an 'off' day but this was definitely a terrible experience. Having walked from central San Antonio, we were looking for a light lunch and a tour of an historic house. We never even managed to speak with the girl on the desk at the restaurant and most of the house was... More

Guenther House is a San Antonio Classic. tours, food and shopping in the King William area. Definitely go for the food. The shop is interesting, because it has products of the mill. They make great gifts, don't miss it!

This is a very nice place to go eat. It is awesome, talk about fresh biscuits and waffles! It is a must go if visiting San Antonio, make the time!!! But get there early before 9 a.m., so you can get seated quickly!

Once the home for the owners of a flour mill business the house is now a wonderful brunch and lunch location. Daily fresh and tasty bakery items on their menu. No reservations.

The food was appropriately priced. It wasn't too expensive, but it was just average. We waited forever (nearly 2 hours) though and expected the food to be outstanding based on reviews and recommendations. The house is nice and the history is ok, but not really that unique or interesting. I wouldn't recommend it to out of towners.

I'm not sure this is the right place for this review, but we visited th Guenther House on a recent trip to SA. They only serve breakfast and lunch, plus you can walk around the house, visit the gift shop, etc. We arrived and were told it would be about a 45 minute to one hour wait. While waiting, we... More
