A nice spot for a weekend breakfast or brunch. The San Antonio Quiche is a must try if it's on the menu.

The area is beautiful and calming. The host was polite, at the beginning of arriving they said it was an hour and 15min waitlist. After an hour and 20 we decided to go check where we were on the waitlist and they said it was an additional hour and 45 min. When calling, they said they don't do waitlist through the phone nor take a list of reservations but obviously they need it so they don't waste customer time if they can't handle when people walk in. Several small buisnesses that are busy do reservation only for this very reason. Definitely something they need to recommend doing for smoother service.If you still decide to go, I recommend checking on the waitlist every 15-20min to make sure it is still moving along.

We finally arrived early enough to get in after about an hour wait. We were less than impressed with the rubbery sweet cream pancakes, the potatoes were seemingly old and lacked flavor and the bacon was ashy and dry. The waitress however was pleasant and the wait in the garden area was beautiful. The wait had us thinking the food would be impeccably prepared and delicious, that was not the case.

Eating at the Guenther House is always a delight. We came at lunch time on a Wednesday and there was no wait. We sat inside the quaint area. Coffee was hot and fresh and food was very good. There is a gift shop which I always go to when visiting. They have a nice selection of kitchen items and they sell some of their mixes here too. This time, I bought the sopapilla mix. We had a beautiful time on a beautiful day in San Antonio visiting the Guenther House.

45 minute wait on Easter, not too bad. My daughter and I walked around their "Museum" and "gift shop" while we waited. A little disappointed that the lion fountain on the top floor didn't work and there weren't more displays explaining what rooms used to be (minus the parlor and "museum" display. Once inside, I was floored by the loud kitchen noises and plates always dropping. It startled me so much and had me jumping, the waitress actually said "try to focus on me and not the noise". We placed our order and had to reiterate because the waitress couldn't hear over the noise of yet again, the kitchen. Food took about another 45 minutes to arrive. I ordered the strawberry waffle with bacon and side of scrambled eggs and my daughter ordered the breakfast taco with potatoes, sausage and eggs. Someone else, not our waitress, brought our food out with a bottle of almost gone Tabasco sauce and a small 2 oz plastic cup of ketchup. We ordered the blended coffee (Hazelnut/chocolate) and it was really tasty. My food was a typical "pancake house" serving and nothing to boast about, except the strawberries were really fresh which was nice. My daughter's breakfast tacos seemed original and were very good! I don't know if we will ever return, but it was a nice way to spend Easter Brunch with my daughter.

Beautifully maintained building from the 19th century and plenty of historic nostalgia. Restaurant is clean, staff are attentive & friendly, you can sit outside or inside and the food was fantastic. Today was my first visit and this place is now going to be one of my ‘regular’ restaurants.

We could definitely tell the difference in the pancakes, they were great. The coffee cake was pretty good too. Not your normal quiche, which I didn't love.
