Hands down the best part of our San Antonio sight-seeing experience. The food was awesome! The price point matched the portion size and quality, which is rare in 2025.
We, a party of 7, visited during brunch hours. There was a very small wait, and we chose to sit outdoors due to the beautiful weather.
We tried the pecan & regular pancakes, fruit cups, pork and chicken sausages, bacon, the strawberry waffle, chicken n waffles, and scrambled eggs. We drank strawberry lemonade, cranberry juice, and water.
We also tried the gigantic cinnamon roll and the apple strudel. We requested they be warned for us when served and they did not disappoint.
We are so happy our newly sworn-in Airmen chose this restaurant to enjoy on his day pass. He made an excellent choice.
10/10 would recommend you make this spot a must-have on your San Antonio visit.

Enjoyed breakfast at The Guenther House, a historic home related to an old San Antonio business, Pioneer Flour Mills. Great atmosphere and good food, using their own ingredients. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy so much I visited the gift shop afterwards to buy the gravy mix. It was an eclectic mix of old home, museum, restaurant and gift shop. A must see when visiting “San Antone”.

Top notch breakfast. The cinnamon roll was on point. The biscuits and gravy was packed full
of flavor. The quiche may have taken the crown, but truly everything we ordered was delicious. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Their prices were great especially considering how amazing everything tasted. Overall if you love food and want to be blown away with amazing flavors come here!

The Guenther House was great! I found this place by googling breakfast spots near us and it was so delicious. My husband and I each had a breakfast plate with biscuits, gravy, eggs, and your choice of breakfast meat. The service was good and everyone was friendly. It was very magical outside with little lights and the weather was very nice luckily. We got there at 9 am on Saturday and there was about a 30 minute wait- fyi it got MUCH busier at like 10 am. The biscuits were a must-some of the best and the gravy was my second favorite thing. The only thing that needed help was the hot cocoa. It was very watery and there was barely any chocolate flavor we were expecting richer flavor for a $7 hot cocoa. We were about to leave and saw the size of the cinnamon roll so we got one to go! It was also fantastic. Definitely go and check out the gift shop too! Go early and expect to wait about 30 minutes or so.

The Guenther House is a true San Antonio staple and an absolute must-visit for brunch. Rich in history and known for its incredible food, the entire experience feels genuinely unique and special. It’s perfect for a relaxed weekend brunch with the family or a cozy outing with your significant other—especially if you’re craving their delicious biscuits, waffles, or pancakes. This place never disappoints, and I absolutely love it.

Absolutely loved it! It was my birthday brunch. Our waitress was friendly and we only had a 20 minute wait and the food was really good. I love that you can explore the building while you wait. I also enjoyed the Christmas decore. Beautiful Atmosphere and the view of the river was lovely.

Grabbed lunch at the Guenther House—decorated lovely for the holidays. It is prone to get very busy, with long wait times and no advance reservations—especially on the weekends—so I came on a weekday for lunch when my schedule permitted. I waited about 15-20 minutes for outdoor seating with text message notifications and updates on the wait time and when my table was ready. During the wait, I walked around the house and visited the gift shop on site. I ordered a soup and salad, which hit the spot on a rainy day, along with a Christmas cookie for take away. The service and food were great during my visit although I would recommend patience and flexibility when visiting. Menu is included in the post.

It was time for a breakfast morning with a friend. Thankfully my friend has visited this establishment before. The entrance is a little off to the side, so follow the directions. If not, be lost in the beauty of the house and the river below with a perfect view. A nice host/hostess will greet you to seat you inside or out. You’ll walk past the coffee bar to be seated. The house is just as original as can be. So cute. The menu is small but with filling combos. They also had specials of the day. I decided on some pecan pancakes and bacon. It also arrived with fresh fruit. These were pancakes were flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy. The waiter was really attentive and sweet. A place I would love to take guest next time!

Visited for the first time and loved it. It was absolutely beautiful, and the food was great! Our waitress was so sweet and professional. There is a shop on the second floor where you can purchase cookbooks, baking items like measuring spoons and aprons, and more.
