OH MAN!! Atmosphere galore! This quaint mansion in the King Williams area of San Antonio is a perfect stop for breakfast, brunch or lunch. It is super important to make you aware, this is NOT a fast food place. Do not come here and expect to be in and out in 30 minutes. The food is made from scratch, as it is ordered. Our wait on this fine Saturday morning was listed as 35 to 45 minutes and took 23 minutes (ahead of what they told us). There is a cute little store upstairs on the 2nd floor. It is a bit pricy to me, but not overly expensive. The bathrooms are upstairs as well. I do believe they have accessible bathrooms on the outside seating area (which is nice and cool since it is down by the quiet end of the Riverwalk). On the second floor you can also see an old sitting room that shows the finery of this old mansion amd a very old piano. There are shelves with old plates that the Pioneer Mill used to give out. Now to the important part! The food!! Man, the servings are large. The biscuits are fluffy and taste so good! They are very large/tall! The chicken and waffles are very tasty and flavorful. We had a wait and got a piece of coffee cake to split and it was not too sweet and was just right for sharing as an appetizer before brunch. The fruit was very fresh, ripe, juicy and tasty. Server Isabella was fabulous!! We did have a wait for our food and she was directly on point!! Our glasses were never empty and she made sure to check on us multiple times while we waited and also while we ate. The restaurant was very busy and despite this, the tables were turned over and people were sat as quickly as possible. Sorry I didn't take as many pictures...but here are the two I took!

If you like southern breakfasts featuring biscuits and gravy and lots of butter in a quaint and deeply historical building on the edge of one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in San Antonio, you are looking at the right place. The breakfast we had was the "1851" plate which included the breakfast mainstays - eggs, excellent bacon, a huge biscuit and a little bowl of gravy laden with sausage pieces. The coffee was their own "Founders" signature roast with lots of flavors added which was very tasty for restaurant coffee.Service was very slow however, but very friendly and with frequent visits from the coffee man! The main cafe room is drafty but bright and otherwise pleasant. Next time I come though I will ask to be seated in the smaller and more cozy dark wood-paneled room. They also have lots of outside seating under a large canopy. Wherever you sit, be sure to venture upstairs after brunch to tour the museum portions of the house, the gift shop and the banquet room up top with the balcony overlooking the Riverwalk and a view of the King William neighborhood. Then take at least a half hour to walk across the river to tour the lovely mansions in the King William district.

Marteen, our waiter was fantastic! The 1851 breakfast left to the imagination. Biscuits, eggs, potatoes, fresh blackberry preserves, and tasty pork sausage! A filling start for a planned fun day in San Antonio!!

The place was so lovely. It made me feel like I was in a friend's home. Our server, Martin, was so sweet and attentive. And to top it all off, the food was delightful. We bought some of their famous jalapeño jam & coffee to gift to my mom.

This has always been one of my favorite local places to enjoy a tasty breakfast or even lunch! Their house coffee is worth having at least 3 cups! You can even purchase Kcups or regular grounded coffee from their too cute gift shop. They own the Pioneer Flour Company and their food reflects their pride. Anything your order is made with heart and every delicious ingredient! Martin is the sweetest longtime server there and it's always a pleasure having him. He's so kind, patient and tentative! I'm so in love with the history of this home and how they keep it so authentic. During Christmas time is the best time to visit with all of their decorations. It's stunning and memorable!

Loved loved this place ! So cute especially the outside sitting! The museum is a plus for free and it's worth it. The champagne enchiladas were good but they're on flour which surprised me and I did not like. Other than that their hot chocolate was good and hot. It's definitely a MUST GO TO for brunch ! And the location is great. Great parking too and super clean place. Friendly staff which is always appreciated except the wait for certain stuff was a little too much but it was busy on the weekend so it's understandable. (Grace was the nicest server)

A great spot to grab breakfast/lunch. I'd suggest sitting outside if the weather is nice out. Id recommend getting on their waist list online as this page can get busy. But the food is well worth it! And don't forget to check out their seasonal specials and take a walk around the shop inside.

We ate here for a company outing. Beautiful place, rich in history but the food is overhyped. The store had some really neat/cute things, but was super expensive. I prob wouldn't go back. But. Our server was amazing. She did take an hour to take our order, I think bc she thought we were too busy talking. Natasha. Or Karen, depending if you're happy or upset with her. She was hilarious and fun. And kinda stuck out from the expectation. She made the lunch for sure. My three stars is based on food taste and price. If I was just rating the service, 10. Despite the wait.
