Don’t miss this store when in Greune, Texas! Located right across the street from the famous dance hall. So much to peruse, you’re bound to leave with something nostalgic or unique. Friendly staff and a beautiful, old building. The sounds of walking on the old wooden floor is a delight in itself. What a gem for Greune!

Always a great selection of vintage and antique items. Old signs, dishware, jewelry, clothing, books, Texana. Must stop for any antique lover!

Walked in with a drink, missed the sign that asked that drinks have lids. The woman behind the counter yelled at us and told us that there were no drinks allowed. When I politely said ok to get request, she continued to tell at us on the way out, saying it was required that we never have drinks. I was so sad because I was excited to show my parents this store. Dont go if you dont want to be yelled at. Plenty of antique stores down the way.

Im not an antiquer by any means but this place was fun to wander around. There is PLENTY of stuff to see - great stuff for guys as well as the women.Just go in there and do your own thing - dont try and follow your significant other around.Plenty of stuff for the women to look at but also lots of stuff for the guys to check out too. Cool beer signs, tap handles, beer bottles, clocks, neon signs, and my personal favorite: some old plastic beer cups from Hemisfair 68 for two bucks each - talk about nostalgia!Check out the original vault in the far wing - ask the staff about it and they can explain it to you but probably not get you inside of it. Still pretty historic an cool to view from the outside!

A very nice shop with some interesting items all throughout. Very helpful staff. My only complaint was that the shop was a bit cluttered.

Great place with lots of variety. The staff couldnt have been more helpful, even when we took forever to look at the jewelry from the lockbox. I bought a large item and I live out of state and they offered shipping for me. Cute place.

Helpful staff and a huge variety of old books, farm implements, toys, oddities, clothes, knives, swords and vintage military gear. I was very happy with my purchases, which included a wwii bayonet, and said I felt like I was taking home a piece of history.

Review №18

Misleading labels, inflated prices. The most overpriced antique shop Ive ever been to. They had a WWII-era ceremonial wooden ornament in the shape of an artillery shell, used for retirement ceremonies and the like. Not that uncommon, some military commands still use them. Their label claimed it was a dummy cartridge used for training. I can assure you it never had, now or 80 years ago, any usefulness as a training item.They also had some revolutionary and other WWII-era items with false or misleading labels. Either theyre lying, or when they dont know what something is, they just come up with whatever story makes it sound more valuable. Incredibly dishonest.

Review №19

Its basically a large antique mall with sales displays from all sorts of vendors. Prices are average for most things. Ive dug out some interesting and useful stuff from Gruene Antique Company on several occasions. After you visit there a few times, its easier to find the stuff of particular interest since the vendors dont move in and out frequently. Ive found a few really nice older books there.

Review №20

Now THIS is a true antique store and you will see true Texas antiques in particular, which was nice for this Midwesterner to see. Worth the trip to Gruene for this store alone. Large, full altho a bit crowded so watch how you move around in here!

Turning you into the the Texas AG for a federal ADA violation. Tell me I can’t come into your business without a mask when the governors orders say I do not need a mask. Read the governors order page 2 very carefully and have your lawyer re-read it carefully. EO-GA-29 page 2. See you in court for violating the EO and violating the federal ADA act.

Very interesting store with friendly staff. Ikr time-feel. Prices were very much within reason. High foot traffic in a destination location. Make sure not to knock anything over as the place is packed with goodies.

Review №27

Beautiful older store packed with beautiful items floor to ceiling. Very friendly staff and a fun walk through. Parking can be a pain being right in the middle of a touristy area but can be found. Prices also reflect being in a touristy area but a good deal can be found if your willing to really look/dig a little.

What a pleasant antique store! The staff is like Johnny on the spot, and even though it’s a tourist attraction the prices seem to be fair retail. I was able to find a few booths with some deals. My husband enjoyed looking through the vinyl dealers and I enjoyed using their clean restroom!

Well, shoot! My toys from the 70s have hit the shelves of a doggone antique store! Other than that, this popular place is packed with so many trinkets and treasures. Almost every piece has a story to tell. So interesting!

Found a film camera here and was interested. I couldnt test it in the store because I didnt have film with me. I asked one of the workers if the camera work. His exact word were not going to sell you something that doesnt work. Took it home. Loaded he film. Doesnt work. Took it to a camera repair shop and they said there is no way to fix it. I called the store and the just said sorry no refunds.

Definitely one of the best antique stores in south Texas. They have a huge selection of items and the place is well organized. The staff is friendly and helpful. Their prices can be a little high though. I highly recommend this store if you love collecting antiques.

Neat shop to stroll through and waste some time. Saw lots of things I remember from my grandparents homes and some things I have that I still use! Lots of variety in the items they have. Im not an expert in antiques, but prices seemed reasonable for an antique shop compared to others Ive been in.

Review №72

If you have a baby and a stroller you are not welcome there.FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I WAS TOLD THAT SORRY, YOU CAN NOT BE HERE WITH A STROLLER. WOW...I was speechless, I have a 9 month old and the lady at the shop asked me to leave. Not only the place does not welcome visitors with babies, but also there is no ramp to enter the store.Poor business etiquette. The lady at the store ruined the whole experience for us and the mood overall.Do not recommend it, nor willing to come back.
