Longleaf Craft Kitchen + Bar

Visiting from out of town and stayed at the square, where everything is just walking distance away.. my bf and I walked around looking for a place to have dinner at and decided on this place.. We started off with a couple of mocktails and deviled eggs with fried oysters in top and omg.. delish!! For main, we wanted something light so we got more fried oysters, a salad with avocado, wild rice and grilled shrimp and crispy potatoes.. food was awesome and even better, a visit from the chef.. nice and friendly, down to earth fella!! Made the experience much better.. kudos!!

Culinary Experience at Longleaf Craft Kitchen + Bar Nestled in the heart of Wimberley, Longleaf Craft Kitchen + Bar offers a beautifully designed space that blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The presentation of each dish is acceptable, the bar is well-curated with a decent selection, and the menu provides a thoughtful variety of choices. While the portions lean on the smaller side, the flavors are well-executed and satisfying. A soft musical backdrop would further enhance the ambiance, complementing the inviting atmosphere. However, the true highlight of the evening was our exceptional waitress, Ashlee, whose attentive and warm service went above and beyond expectations. We look forward to seeing these small refinements in place and will certainly return soon!

The food was amazing and seemed too good for such a small town. Everything was beyond my expectations and I was blown away. Staff was great too. I’m looking forward to making another trip into town and I will definitely be coming back.

I love when everything at a restaurant is a 10/10! My boyfriend and I had a fab Valentine’s Day early dinner, and Laney, our server was fantastic. Espresso martinis are SO GOOD here trust. Thank yall for a wonderful evening!

Amazing food, especially for gluten and dairy allergies! The fried olives at Longleaf are gf and so unique. The chef has food allergies and the fryer is completely gluten free. We had the lasagna (not gf) and trout. Both were perfectly sized and delicious. The chef brought out our meals and also checked on us; he's self-taught and just wow. I wish I lived closer. It's the best restaurant we've been to since moving to Texas.

Excellent restaurant in downtown Wimberly, the food and services was top notch! I’m still thinking about the potatoes that came with the steak two days later lol

This is a Wimberley staple. Food and cocktails are phenomenal. Pair that with the lovely and friendly staff, you get an enjoyable meal to remember.

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday lunch on the outdoor patio. Food here is cooked and seasoned to perfection. Come hungry and portions are more that you can eat! Quality of ingredients that the chef uses are unmatched in Wimberley Square! A must visit! This restaurant is the best!!!

We went to Longleaf tonight for my wife's birthday and it was utterly fantastic. Not only did the staff make the perfect fuss over my wife's milestone birthday, but everything we ate was delicious. Thanks to everyone there and we look forward to the next time!

I rarely (if ever) leave bad reviews, well today's the day and here's why. To kick things off, I don't find satisfaction in bashing people or businesses for the sake of bashing, this review is to shed light on the reality of parenting for those who either do not know or seem to have forgot.....hello there. My family & I drove in all the way from Georgetown for a relaxing lunch at Longleaf (where we have been before)....and that was quickly cut short. After ordering food my 2 year old daughter for no reason decided to throw a tantrum (as many 2 years do) however I choose, as I always do, regardless where these tantrums take place in public or not - to ignore my daughters tantrums since I choose not to reinforce my daughters behavior by calling attention to it. That said her tantrums typically pass within minutes of me dismissing them, otherwise I take it upon myself to remove myself from whatever public situation we are in to avoid causing any disturbance to the surrounding guests. (Yes, believe it or not parents of the crying children don't find it fun, appealing or enjoyable anymore then the person sitting next to them does.) However, today at Longleaf, the manager of this establishment: Pam Tise (pictured here) quickly approached our table (if I could guesstimate ...probably within less than 3 minutes of my daughters tantrum kicking in) to tell me my daughter is disturbing the guests & we need to take her outside or leave (mind you it is 99 degrees today, taking into consideration humidity .....) I informed Pam Tise of two things: it's nearly 100 degrees outside & my daughter is just a baby, she isn't accustomed to this heat (I'm a Texan native for nearly 40 years & I'm not even accustomed to this heat, you think a child is??) and mentioned (although I don't need to explain my parenting approach) dismissing my daughters behavior is what results in the behavior stopping. And in the event the behavior doesn't stop: I take it upon myself to leave. Simple as that. Furthermore, I worked in the service industry myself for numerous years - I get it, it's annoying, it's uncomfortable and unpleasant for guests - let me reiterate: it's the same for the parents as well. Furthermore Pam Tise also came clapping back at me, accusing me of saying the "F" word at her, which was outlandish as I would not publicly disrespect someone in front of my daughter (however let it be known I have no issues with the "F" word, simply not my choice of language when being confronted in front of my child.) That said, I was disgusted by Pam Tise's attitude, therefore my family and I abruptly left. ***NOTE TO LONGLEAF OWNERS**** Please educate your managers on parenthood, namely Pam Tise - it seems like it's been a while since they have raised a child. Give the parents a hot minute to restore order before attempting to push out loyal customers so quickly. Second, I suggest retraining your management on Longleaf's mission, passion, and purpose that states, "serving approachable food without the pretense or price of fine dining...... with exceptional hospitality in an atmosphere of warmth, where everyone is welcome." --- today's experience demonstrated that mission, passion and purpose is FAILING as a result of YOUR management, namely Pam Tise and their accusatory, unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Rest assured - ya'll have our commitment we will NEVER be returning to your establishment again. We am not the first, and I am certain we won't be the last as long as Pam Tise or any of your management & service team treats your customers this way.

My wife and I ate here on a late night adventure. It was a fun date and what made it even better was the kind staff and attentive service. Our waitress was quick and informative. Although we were handed the lunch menu, she was very apologetic when we asked if we had the correct menu. For appetizers we ordered the warm bread and butter which was delicious and the butter had a nice salty tang. We then ordered the Shrimp en Croute, which was ok... but, I don't think I would get it again just because it didn't have the rich flavor I was looking for. To drink I had the Agave in bloom which had a nice lavender note making it very relaxing to sip. My wife ordered the Zen & Tonic which had a cucumber & orange peal taste. It was refreshing to say the least. For entrees I ordered the Wagyu beef burger (medium rare) which rocked my socks. I went to bed thinking about that thick piece of meat. My wife ordered airline chicken breast, the chicken breast was juicy, tender, and had great flavor. the chicken was sitting on a bed of creamy spinach risotto that was so comforting. It was topped with crunchy fried onions which really brought the dish together. Overall, a great experience. My only complaint is the price for the drinks and appetizers... I will say it was a fair price for the entrees, they were simply delish. Much love, J. wall

I am local to Wimberley and come here often for dinner and drinks. I've been wanting to check out this place since it got good reviews and looks super cute. My friend and I walked in and the bartender was so incredibly rude to us. What happened to being hospitable? Too bad we will never return. I don't think this guy got the memo that this is a low key area. Leave your attitude at home!

Very good place, the atmosphere is really nice and calm, the service was spectacular. I really didn't spend much time in the place, just long enough to enjoy a Cadillac Margarita and sorry but I don't remember the name of the cocktail my wife ordered and to this we added an appetizer of some shrimp in a very delicious sauce. It is a good place but not really like the ones I like to enjoy, the prices and the little variety in the menu which in my opinion is too simple for the price determine the time in the place. The variety of wine is very good, that's why I'm only telling you, as I mentioned before, this is my experience.

I'll have to say I have never seen a quiche with so much crust on the top and the bottom and very little in the middle. I ordered a sweet potato salad and they gave me the wrong salad.

This was my second time dining here and it's just as good as I remembered. We had lasagna, eggplant parmigiana (not your typical kind) salad and fried oysters. Everything was delicious. The chef came out and asked how our meal was and the staff is friendly. Love the outdoor seating.

the service was lacking, our waitress was all over the place and took while to get us our things to us which was frustrating and then was I guess sort of having a disagreement with another waiter which was awkward and the food took 30 ish minutes to arrive at our table as i was finishing my salad i notice one of my tomatoes was moldy felt like the restaurant was trying to to be fancy but fell short

Longleaf Craft Kitchen is a gem of a spot in Wimberley...they never fail to impress me with the incredible cuisine they create here. This is the third time my daughter Karen and I have dined here, and it's always a culinary adventure. We started with the Hangtown Deviled Eggs...these are deviled topped with a fried oyster, some bacon, and a drizzle of garlic aioli. You cannot say no to these, they are absolutely delicious! The sautéed pork chop with the calvados-infused apple sauce is like having dinner and dessert at the same time. While the Lyonnaise potatoes are very good, the crispy potatoes are in a league of their own. The ribeye...perfectly cooked and the butter really put the flavors over the top. I've never had fondant potatoes before...there were a great accompaniment to the steak and delicious. This place creates great food and our server Toni was wonderful and took excellent care of us. In the summer outdoor dining is wonderful and the history of the building is very interesting.

Have you ever had an apple tart so good that you felt like eating it was illegal? If yes, then you've had the tart from here. Beyond delicious! Do you need more than an apple tart to go here? Fair! Clean, cozy, and friendly atmosphere. Our server's name was Eric and he was so nice! Struck up some casual conversation, answered any questions we had, and stayed on top of our needs. He was seriously never too far away. The food! Besides the tart I absolutely enjoyed the vegetable lasagna. I did not see much in terms of vegan options, but it felt like the kind of place that would make accommodations if you asked. I was told the quail dish was well cooked and tasty. At one point the chef came out of the kitchen and checked on everyone, he was so kind as well. I am totally coming back here if I ever end up in Wimberly again.

Really bad experience the manager came to us really rude and request to leave the restaurant because one of our daughters a two years old was having a tantrum, this person clearly in a whale mode didn't have any skills to treat her customers, I felt discriminated because of my cuban accent. Definitely didn't feel welcome. Not a family friendly place.

Every time we come here we have a very enjoyable meal. Very romantic, well staffed, great drinks and fantastic food. More room outside than in, but you have to watch the weather. Had a brilliant fish last time and a very unique fried oyster deviled egg. Was unsure of the combination at first, but it tasted incredible.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Wimberly. Staff are pleasant. The restaurant both inside and out us well appointed and calming. Live their good. Any time I come to town I try to make time for Longleaf

Longleaf is the perfect stop for a shopping break. Cool off with one of their delicious cocktails and dig into their mouth watering appetizers. You will get just the boost you need to keep shopping until you drop.

Excellent food but a bit pricey. The place is very small and somewhat awkward but if the weather is nice, it's great to sit in the garden.

One of the best restaurants in Wimberley. Solid cocktails, food is well done, and the backyard is pleasant.

I live in Drip, and every time I come to Wimberly for some retail boutique therapy I come here for lunch and I do not skip out. They have the best bruschetta that I've tried in a while. It's fresh, tasty and well put together. I've had friends get the potato and goat cheese tart and I've gotten the NY strip sandwich twice. Everything is delish and the staff is friendly .

This restaurant is so fantastic. We came to Wimberley from Austin for a quick overnight trip to reset and reconnect from the city. The stuffed quail and wagyu burger were outstanding, as was the wine selection. Everyone from the hostess, server and chef were incredibly kind and provided great service. The chef even came out at the end of the night and thanked each table, which I haven't seen in years at a restaurant. It gives Gilmore girl vibes here for sure. Cannot recommend Longleaf enough!

Subpar food and ice tea BEWARE: persons needed ADA assistance Thanks goodness for ramp into cafe Had 3 persons using cane and one In electric wheelchair Uneven bricks on patio, steps (no ramp) up to outdoor bathrooms, no grab bars around low toilet seat Guest and her husband had to travel to outdoor ADA bathroom 2 blocks down street Not planning on returning

Sadly I am here and giving Longleaf a three star. Upon arriving it was a little weird and we stood at the outside stand for a couple of moments until no one helped us and then we started walking up the stairs and two women asked if we were just going to the bar... And we said no we wanted to sit down and then we were seated. They were standing there the whole time so I'm not sure why they didn't ask us anything sooner until we started to walk indoors. We ordered the warm bread and butter but it wasn't very warm and the butter was pretty stiff... Also the bread wasn't cut through all the way, I get what they were doing but it was a little difficult to pull apart... Especially since the table was wobbling all over the place. next the bruschetta came out and it was *chefs kiss* very good! We then placed our order and waited about 30 minutes until it came out... It wasn't very busy. As for the burger, I probably wouldn't order it again. It was very bland and kind of hard as well... I ordered a medium and it was more so well done. The potatoes Lyonnaise was fantastic! I love potatoes though...in all forms lol. Overall, the ambience is great and they have outdoor seating that's tucked a little bit further back... It's a super cute place! If we're in the area we might stop by, but we wouldn't go out of our way to come.

Everything we had on the diverse, interesting menu was excellent! Short Rib special with crispy potato was particularly good. Dining partners had a nicely done rib eye and an interesting eggplant dish. Staff was friendly and involved. We ate in the dining room; there is also a nice bar area with very good craft cocktails.

Food was mediocre for the price and took way too long. The setup of the restaurant is claustrophobic and non functional. I don't care to eat at a place where I can watch the employees go to the restroom. Furthermore, why are the restrooms outside?! Service is meh. Food took forever. Water never filled. Won't be returning.

While visiting Wimberley, stopped in for an early dinner. People were great and very friendly. Food was terrific. Serving size of redfish was a little small. Only negative was our seat was by the wait staff register. They tended to hang around there and talk, gossip. It was a bit annoying.

My favorite place to enjoy a quail its meal in Wimberley . Chef Robert and the staff go beyond making each dining experience unique and enjoyable. Regards Suzette

I happened to be in Wimberley on a Monday and the Cafe on the square was busy. I looked and saw that the Longleaf was about to open. I walked over and there was a rope across the entrance and a menu on the outer wall. I stepped over the rope to see the menu and a female employee very rudely told me to get back across because because they weren't open. It was 10:55 and they opened at 11:00. I decided to take my business elsewhere and went to the cafe where the service was perfect. Choose the cafe across the street and ignore Longleaf.

Very nice place in an out of the way town. We had dinner there. The food was professionally prepared. The service was equally professional. We dinned outside on their patio which was lovely. They started their heaters for so we wouldn't get cold on this early March evening.

I have celiac disease and a wheat allergy. The chef came out twice, before I ordered and after I ate, to discuss my personal allergies. He was amazing!! Dedicated gluten free fryers. The food was great!

Food was great, but the owner was rude and very biased. She spoke to me , a Hispanic and referenced me as "you people". I thought this was a family friendly place where children were allowed and all welcomed.

Good food but the portions are SMALL! $15 for 4 pieces of bruschetta, ouch! Service wasn't bad but wasn't what I would expect from somewhere with these price points as we got zero "check ins" from our waitress. We sat at a high top table in the bar area and it was pretty loud just from the bartenders cracking jokes with each other. I might give them another try because the food was good and everyone can have an off night.

This place was recommended by a shopkeeper in Wimberley; so we decided to give it a try for lunch. We were a group of six and it was a holiday. Nonetheless, the place wasn't busy at all. We were seated quickly. From the moment we approached the restaurant, my intuition told me that this was not a good choice. As we stepped up to the door, we encountered a bold sign notifying any potential visitor that neither open or concealed carry of firearms was permitted, and if we were armed, we were trespassed. If I had been alone, that would have been enough for me to find an alternative. As a private business, they are entitled to deny entry to anyone that is armed. That is their right. But it's my right to not support businesses that limit the civil rights of their potential patrons. Nonetheless I was one of six people, and I capitulated to the others in my group. After being seated, it was evident that I server wasn't an ally. She wasn't unpleasant, but uncommunicative and slow. As far as we could tell, we were her sole customers. Service wasn't really that bad, but not special in any way. We did have to ask her several times to bring one of the beverages we ordered. Despite that, it just didn't seem that it was a priority to her to complete the service of our order. There was also three other employees that weren't engaged with customers. In particular, the bartender was completely unengaged and looking at his cell phone. Overall, the food was pretty ordinary. A couple of the dishes we ordered were appealing, but others were nothing special. We also had to ask a couple of times for water. Again, service was slow. The waitress was obviously young and inexperienced. But she also could have benefited from supervision and coaching which she was not getting. Finally, the food was expensive for the time and location. We had ordered modestly but for six lunch selections and six drinks (three of which were non-alcoholic), the bill was $42 per person. Pretty pricey for that area in a modest restaurant for a lunch. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. Perhaps the anti second amendment policy (especially surprising in the middle of Texas) set a bad tone for me, but just as it is their right to deny access to armed citizens, it is my right to inform other potential customers of their choice to implement that policy. Especially when the service is sub par, the food ordinary and of questionable value.

I cannot give this place enough stars!!! I have Celiacs and need to be really careful when eating out. The waitress informed the kitchen and when they noticed x-contamination may have occurred they re-made the order. The pork chop was amazing! Went back the next day for lunch and had the same great experience with the chef coming out to check on 'his celiac customer'. Had the burger and the Thai pork sandwich both gluten free so we could share. My non- celiac husband was as bowled over as me at how good the food was. I do not skip this amazing restaurant!!

Birthday weekend in Wimberley. I made a resy for Friday at 7pm. It is a really good idea to make a resy or you may not have the great opportunity to eat here. We sat outside in the garden. It was a bit warm but cooled down after the sun hid behind the buildings. Our server was friendly and made us feel welcomed. I started off with the El Afantastico and it was fantastico! Refreshing! If you like olives, try the fried olives. You can barely taste the anchovy pasta. They're addictive for sure! My friend is not a fan of olives and she even ate a few or 7. I had the half chicken and I am proud to say, I ate all of it! The chicken, potatoes and veggies were juicy and packed with flavor. I had to walk the square after that meal, worth every bite and step! Anyhow, when I return to Wimberley, Longleaf Craft Kitchen will always be on my list of places to go.

When this place originally opened it had an incredible possibility, however, as they have continued operations they have lost much of the charm and quality. Food is a bit above average and the atmosphere is slightly better. However, what is actually going against this restaurant is the over presence of an owner who has not learned to engage with customers in a constructive way. This would have been a go to place for me if it were not for a really awkward presence. I cannot give them above two stars but it is not because of the food, the menu or the employees. The owner makes this place unbelievably difficult to enjoy.

We just had a really good meal there tonight. We hadn't made reservations so we sat at the bar. Enjoyed it.

Our server Jenna recommended the pork chop dinner: a great choice. We also enjoyed a sweet potato salad with arugula another excellent decision. Jenna was great and so was the food!

I had the Eggplant Parmigiana and thought that it was kind of soggy, but the cheese was good and the outside of the slices of eggplant was crispy. The service was kind of slow even though there weren't many people (it was a Sunday evening).

Such a yummy meal, start to finish. We asked for some changes to the cocktail menu and had no problem getting exactly what we wanted. Appetizers were fried oyster deviled eggs (SO good!) and bruschetta. For dinner we had a fish special, burger, salad with roasted sweet potatoes and more oysters. Everything was delicious and the 4 of us were all more than satisfied. The service was attendant but not overly so and we felt comfortable taking our time (we sat for a long time since we were with friends we hadn't seen in a few years). Would definitely recommend!

The food was spectacular, the service was top notch and each person that worked there made you feel you were a local. Would absolutely recommend the restaurant especially since every dish was delectable. The bruschetta had olives on them, the Brussel sprouts had a sauce that was delicious to the touch of the tongue. It's hard to have Brussel sprouts taste amazing without bacon although this chef sure did succeed. The deviled egg had a fried oyster on it!!!

Very good food choices. I enjoyed a tasty burger and my family lunched on the shrimp salad. Service was fantastic and the chef greeted our table and made sure we enjoyed our meal. Great stop. I would recommend calling for reservations.

The hostess was so gracious to hold us an inside table that came available after making reservations for an outside table. Our server was fantastic and we absolutely loved our dinner. We started with the deviled eggs, she had the eggplant parmigiana, I had the pork chop which was amazing. Our best dinner in Wimberley by far. Cocktails were also great! Thank you for a great evening!!

Very expensive, mediocre food, lousy service, fake 5 Star Reviews. I find it impossible that this place has so many 5 Star Reviews. They do not depict the experience that we had accurately at all. I suspect there are a lot of friends and family reviews or compensation for a glowing review with a free appetizer or drink. This place sucks.

A creative menu that is always changing but always delicious. Service is on point. The ambiance captures everything I like about "downtown" Wimberley.

Arrogance and meddling from a "manager" is not what I look for when heading out for a night of drinks and dinner.

NOT a family friendly place. I had a 2 year old along with another separate family that had maybe 4 other kids that were hanging out and the owner walks out and screams at the kids. ALL the kids were super respectful yet the owner had the guts to talk about her customers that spent $300 + to other customers! This video will probably be deleted but we were called "YOU PEOPLE" by the owner for just asking if she's not a family friendly place then why doesn't she post that in her description. If you are Hispanic, be careful! "You people" may be treated especially if you have a kid! The CHEF, Robert is AMAZING! He is the reason we stopped by. Robert deserves EVERY PENNY WE SPENT! Owner is not friendly and is TERRIBLE at communicating and running a business! POOR employees, did a great job but are a reflection of her! She has totally taken control over them. Totally micromanaging!

Have been to Longleaf two other times for cocktails, but this past Saturday we went for lunch and drinks with some friends in town. Arrived right after opening so no wait and asked to sit outside. All the tables were open but they put us in a corner facing a fence with half the table in direct sun. We moved our chairs around and made it work. Waitress was super nice but either very new or having a rough day. Took our drink and appetizer order. Ten minutes later she came back to tell us one drink wasn't available. We adjusted, waited another 10 minutes for the drinks to show. It was not our waitress who brought them so we asked the woman to tell our waitress we were ready to order. Another 15 minutes went by and waitress brought our appetizer. We ordered our meal and it came pretty quickly. I ordered the wild rice, avocado, and shrimp salad. When the salad came without the shrimp the waitress told me the salad didn't come with shrimp. When I reminded her the name implied it was a shrimp salad she came back a few minutes later with a few shrimp on a plate. Other than that the food was good if a bit ordinary. We had to flag down someone to find our waitress when we were done to bring the check. The message is service is nice but very slow. Be specific if sitting outside about where you want to be (and ask for bug spray), and expect a good meal overall.

We enjoyed a terrific Wagyu burger with smashed potatoes and roasted sweet potato salad with candied pecans. Absolutely delicious. Beautiful place. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

We recently visited Longleaf to celebrate my wife's birthday with friends who invited us. After reading the history and reviews we were very excited. We were promptly seated on arrival at 8:30 and welcomed. Our friends joined us. At the table next to us was a couple with an infant. It was late for the infant and he or she screamed with a shrill pitch that hurt. After 20 minutes of this (the place was full) I diplomatically asked our waitress if we could be moved. Not to interrupt the couple and infant. A short time later we were graciously moved into the next room. We ordered a variety of cocktails including a house Margarita and Signature drinks. All great! We ordered fried olives stuffed with anchovies. Unusual and very good. We had a goat cheese and apple tart that was very good. We could see the table where we were. Every time the infant would scream people would grimace. I ordered Gulf Shrimp and Fried Oysters, R ordered the Quail, and our friends the Pork Chop. When food arrived the Oysters were cold. I left our waitress know and it was immediately taken care of. All of our dishes were excellent in preparation and flavor. Our friends had one of their favorite Bordeaux's as there is an excellent wine list in addition to a full bar. Our desserts were very good. Chocolate always wins. We eat at fine dining restaurants often. It is unusual for an infant to be present. Especially that late. The screaming continued until 10:00pm when they left. The parents seemed oblivious to the impact on dining guests as did management. Our server and service was excellent. Our food was excellent. Restaurants make mistakes as we all do and it's how they recover. Like with the Oysters. Immediately. Graciously. To the best of my knowledge, management never intervened with the parents on behalf of a full house. I would have rated 5* had this no continued for over 1.5 hours. We will return.

We stopped in on a whim for a late lunch snack & cocktails. The fried olives are great, bruschetta was perfectly crispy & fresh. Combined with the grilled shrimp appetizer, we enjoyed the perfect lunch.

After three visits I have to say never again. the first time I went with a friend the service and food was very good. loved the Hangtown deviled eggs. second time had eggplant parm and it was not eggplant parm. the eggplant was way undercooked, a skimpy sauce and a sprinkling of cheese. huh? I was expecting luciousness. third time with friends, had the lasagna entree and it was almost shockingly bad. A wierd, dry wedge of I think lasagna, old, very bland, about an inch thick. a side of greens with a thick, kind of balsamic dressing. Ate half. I noticed my friends didn't eat their entire servings. An expensive lunch that was very poor. also, I don't like seeing waitresses in extremely short shorts. unprofessional and cheap.

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Service was great too. Chef even came out to check on everything.
