Southern Living honors The Guenther House as one of the top 5 breakfast picks in Texas! “The towering buttermilk biscuits and the Southern Sweet Cream waffles taste so light and airy you’d almost think they could float away.” Great Breakfast and lovely view of the river. All the pastries are good and made from their very flour mill.
