About a 45-minute drive from Austin, Wimberley is one of the quaintest towns around with some incredibly good food. In recent years, Wimberley has become quite a popular weekend getaway spot, and it’s no surprise, either — all the little boutiques and delicious restaurants are worth a visit. You’ll find fantastic German food, barbecue, modern cuisine, and, everyone’s favorite, Texas comfort food. Here are the best restaurants in Wimberley to enjoy on your next day trip out there.
Wimberley Cafe
101-A Wimberley Square, Wimberley, TX 78676
Wimberley Cafe is a staple restaurant right on the square. It’s the place to go for some classic Texas-style comfort food. They do breakfast — pancakes and waffles served all day long! — lunch, dinner, and everything in between! The restaurant features a small-town homey vibe, which is always very pleasant.
Jobell Cafe & Bistro
16920 Ranch Rd 12, Wimberley, TX 78676
At Jobell Cafe, you can find some delicious French-inspired dishes, but we’re talking more like French Countryside. The staff at this restaurant in Wimberley offer different menus depending on the time of day, so you’ll get to enjoy a distinct brunch menu, lunch menu, and dinner menu! Their wine list is also pretty spectacular.
The Leaning Pear
111 River Rd #110, Wimberley, TX 78676
This restaurant not only has some incredible culinary offerings, but also has a great history! The original restaurant building is the now restored Lowery House — the oldest building in Wimberley. Today, the craft restaurant has a new home, but all that rustic style and history has remained.
Longleaf Craft Kitchen & Bar
314 Wimberley Square, Wimberley, TX 78676
Longleaf prides themselves on their locally sourced seasonal offerings, which many restaurants in Wimberley are able to do. However, this restaurant has something that others don’t, beyond the excellently crafted dishes: their outdoor seating is both a restaurant and a gorgeous sculpture garden. It’s also shaded by oak trees, and in this Texas heat, that’s a must-have.
Chill’s On The Creek
14004 Ranch Rd 12, Wimberley, TX 78676
Formerly Ino’z, this spacious patio restaurant sidles right up to a creek so you can chill the Wimberley way. Enjoy American eats in a massive outdoor space that feels like a neighbor’s backyard BBQ.
Los Olivos Market
13904 Ranch Rd 12, Wimberley, TX 78676
A wine, beer, and specialty food store that sources local and Texas products, Los Olivos doubles as a family-style restaurant serving tenderloin, rib-eye, salmon, and more.
