This place was superb! Paul was our waiter and he was friendly, knowledgeable on the menu, made great drinks recommendations, and asked the chef about changing part of the meal. I had the poke bowl with salmon and it was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect meal to eat outside on a warm Texas day. The old fashioned was beautifully crafted and had a wonderful taste and a nice smoky aftertaste. Overall the experience here was 10/10 and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal or a wonderful atmosphere to sit and enjoy a drink or two in downtown Wimberly! Thank you Paul for the stellar service! Also, I believe there is another yelp page for Hildee's that has the same address.. which is where I left my original review. read more

The food was excellent but the service was a little slow. However, overall this place is great. The cornbread and house made pimento cheese was delicious and the same goes for the balsamic reduction fried brussel sprouts. The ribeye cfs was thick and tender with no shrinkage. I should have ordered it extra crispy because I like the crust to be crunchier, didn't get a pic of the blueberry olive oil cake with toasted buttercream icing was to die for. Maybe the best cake of my life. Their a/c needs some help is my only criticism. Try them out!! read more

Hildee's Dine-inn recently opened and is serving exceptional Texas cuisine! Congrats Chef Ryan Hildee and team. The new restaurant oozes of Texas Charm with fantastic hospitality, delectable dishes and fine wines + cocktails to perfectly pair. The restaurant sources from local ranches and farms to feature seasonal Hill Country fare. The property includes a smokehouse, indoor and outdoor covered seating, and playscape. I recommend: Brisket Burnt End Rangoon Purple Hull Spread Confit Tomato Pie Smoked Brisket Slab We also love their strawberry margarita! read more

Very nice atmosphere/space. We used the online waiting list on their website but I don't think it was necessary. The inside tables were still going to be a half hour wait so we sat at one of the open outdoor tables. It was super hot but the fans did a decent job. The only reason I had to knock off one star was the steak :/ I always have high expectations when ordering a steak... I at least expect it to be cooked the way we asked. But I also expect certain cuts of meat to not be served to customers at all... We were pretty surprised when it came out and it was very well done (not what we ordered) and very fatty as well. Hardly any meat. It sucks bc the other food and cocktails were great- yummy burger, creamed corn, tots, rangoons, lavender lemonade, and margarita! The steak just really kinda ruined it for us. But I will definitely go back to try other things on the menu! read more

Hildee's is an awesome casual eatery located conveniently along the Blue Hole Trail and away from the congested downtown section of Wimberley. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor space, and there are live music performances offered at times in the patio. The restaurant uses many ingredients sourced from Texas including locally raised beef that is either a blend or hybrid including Wagyu. The food trends toward what I'd call new American, with refined versions of pub cuisine on the menu. We started with the chilaquiles verdes, featuring fried pork belly and a spicy tomato salsa, all served on fried tortillas. The level of spice was perfect with a bit of heat. We also enjoyed the smoked salmon, served with capers, soft boiled egg, and a tangy lemon dill sauce along with toasted baguettes. The burgers were excellent too, a bit overdone for my taste but still excellent with the smoked cheddar and Hildee's sauce on a potato bun. We also enjoyed the fried chicken thigh and honey butter biscuit sandwich, just oozing with that honey butter. The biscuit was very light and fluffy and the chicken was cooked just right and was juicy and flavorful. Dessert consisted of the peach cobbler cheesecake, with a very tender cake more like a mousse consistency and not your typical firm cream cheese. The cake was topped with a crunchy crumble and the fresh peaches were well carmelized and very delicious. I appreciate that the dessert was not overly sweet so you could enjoy the flavor of the peaches. We ate on the patio but the interior has a comfortable seating area and a long bar as well. Service was excellent with the server making many trips to clear plates, refill the water bottle and making sure that she took care of our needs. Prices were on par with other local establishments. If you are hankering for some local eats away from the crowds, this is the place to be. Recommended. read more

I guess you would just call this place expensive. The interior is very pretty and well designed but you are going to pay for it. I had lunch there with a friend where we had one drink each the bill came to $65 and then you're expected to pay another $10 for a tip of course. $75 for lunch. Yes the mixed drink was nice and the beer was a beer but the meal was tiny and almost 20 bucks each. Everything about this place is good it's just really expensive to the point it almost feels like a violation. read more

Came here for the Chicken Fried Venison. It was served with mashed potatoes & creamed gravy. Husband really liked it. It's the only places that serves it & it didn't disappoint. I ordered the pork steak, green beans & peaches. It was good. I do have to brag about the dessert, pretty, delicate & tasty. A chocolate lovers dream. Yum! read more

Hildee's Dine-Inn - This is the Texas Sheet Cake. Sounds plainer than what it really is. The pecans are brittled & crunchy. Super good! - Southern Near Me - Wimberley, Texas

I've given this a two just to get their attention because the place has so much potential. Please drop the gourmet for the sake of gourmet and get real with Hill Country preferences. With all the menu wording, tater tots seem totally out of place...how 'bout some gourmet brined pomme fritz that would differentiate you from the rest of the frozen French fries and Tator Tot world! The menu has a small following due to the outrageous menu pricing. Ambiance feels more like a sports bar but food and pricing don't match. read more

So I finally made it to Hildee's! You know these are just good folks and also happen to be our neighbors. Food was awesome awesome. My friend had Texas fried catfish and I had the new menu item, tasty Steak Tostadas. I really went today for the Chicken Fried Venison, but those tostadas just waylaid me! Ryan, the owner, also recommended the homemade pimento cheese and jalapeño corn muffins. What can I say. Not a crumb was left! No room for dessert this time but I've sure heard good things about their pastry chef! Next time, y'all! read more

Hildee's was fantastic! Super warm and welcoming atmosphere with live music and happy vibes. Service was on point and very attentive. Excellent place for families or a date night. Food was delicious, wings were TOP notch, and that bbq sauce was sooo good. Also enjoyed a beet salad and a meaty, flavorful burger. We found the portions to be perfect and pricing to be very reasonable. We will definitely be back again with friends and family! read more

Wow. That's a damn good burger! Seriously, I thought this was going to a hipster foodie-wannabe place with outrageous prices and average food. Man, was I wrong. This place rocks. It's really good food and although not fast food priced, it's well worth the cost. Excellent!! read more

We have now had several dine-in and takeout experiences at Hildees and I just can't say enough good about the food and service for both! I'll start with the food: We've had (in no particular order) wings, burgers, risotto, pimiento cheese and cornbread, chicken fried steak and meatloaf. We've repeated most. When we dine in, we are always tended to promptly and thoroughly. Last night we did take out again and had wings, tater tots, pimento cheese and cornbread and cucumber salad. Cornbread has just a touch of heat and is so very fresh-every single time! Wings are perfection. Always. Cucumber salad is fresh, crisp and lightly dressed with a touch of dill. Because we've been keeping our 18 month old grandchild we lost our mind and splurged on Hildees Bars and Cheesecake and we are not sorry at all. They both are over the top delicious and gave us the sugar rush we needed! As I write this I'm enjoying a small piece of a Hildees Bar. It's a lovely treat on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. Thanks Hildees. read more

The food was okay (we had the cornbread, farmstand sandwich, and burger) but the service was absolutely horrific. Our plates were never cleared, iced teas never refilled, we were never asked if our food was okay, and we had to chase down someone to ask for our check. We were seated inside and our waitress was young. She just sat there and stared at us. read more

We'd heard some good things and thought we'd try it out. It was ok. The prices were high and most of the food was just ok. The good; brisket Rangoons and the chicken cutlet. Both were tasty and well prepared. The meh: slab brisket Was generic and dry. It tasted more like a Sunday roast than central Texas brisket. Sheet cake; The server didn't tell us it was chocolate, which was a bummer bc I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but it was decent cake. The bad: overpriced wine served in really tiny glasses. This place has potential but they need to figure out the menu and what works..We'll try other places in Wimberley before we go back. read more

Average food, high prices, but glad to see they changed the original, bland menu. We have sent multiple dishes back on separate occasions, only for the manager to argue with us about it. Same guy both times. First two times we went the menu was very boring and bland. They recently changed it almost entirely, which was nice to see. For the record, I've never sent queso back before in my life, but they managed to mess that up. Cornmeal catfish is just bad. Frito pie was atrocious. Burger is tasty, and nice to see they finally added tots to go with the $16 burger. Elote was burnt, tiny and flavorless (sent it back, manager argued with us). Wings were good. Recommendations: stop trying to be "elevated hill country dining" and just be better than what we can cook at home. I'll continue to come back merely to support small local business - probably for the wings and a drink. Hope these guys figure it out. Stop arguing with customers, big guy. read more

Today was my first time, and most likely my only time, to eat at Hildees. The pros first! The building is new, clean and organized well. The young women who was our waitress was polite and responsive to us. The cons- the menu is a major issue. In an attempt to be trendy they overdo and make excessively complicated simply lunch items. While eating I felt like I was paying per word on the menu and not for the taste and quality of the food. Likewise, with a limited menu, which I tend to prefer what you offer has to be excellent. I saw a significant difference between items and was disappointed. Finally quantity does not equate to quality. Serve better food and I would not be frustrated with the price. Likewise, charging for very basic and simple sides feels like customer bleeding. It will require a significant change and report on those changes for me to return. read more

Missing the Wow.....But not the Price Tag Based on the menu and the prices, we expected some sort of wow. I will say the food and the service were both acceptable. The main issue is the price to food ratio. The wine appears to be a reasonable price but it is maybe a 5 or 6oz pour at best. The red wine was also served warm in the same sipper glass as the water. We had the burnt end rangoon that were good but the sauce cup didn't allow for dipping. My wife had the $12 single patty burger that was again good but a single patty burger for $12 with no side? The sides were $7 to $8 dollars which would have made it a $20 single patty. I had the pork collar steak. It was really good but with a side of creamed corn, it was $27. All in all, we left not finding anything that we would go back for. While everything was ok, the prices were not. It was just an odd mix of atmosphere to price to taste. I would head downtown next time I have to choose. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! My boyfriend made plans for us to have dinner at Hildee's for New Year's Eve. He spoke to them twice on the phone and was never told that it was a set menu at $120 per person! Since we drove 45 mins to get there, we decided to stay even though we weren't happy with the cost. To start things off, they were out of Pinot Grigio and Coke. IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE! You should have popular drinks like this available. Secondly, the portions were SO small it didn't fill either of us up. Everything was sliver size, including the dessert. We had Christmas dinner at a beautiful five-star resort in San Antonio, which was an explosive buffet including all the crab, shrimp, salads, meats, sides, desserts, etc., you could eat, and that was only $75 per person. This was price gouging at it's worse. The food was just okay, certainly not worth the money. We won't be going back again. Major fail, Hildee's. read more

My wife and I came here for dinner recently on a Saturday evening. For cocktails, she ordered a Lavender Fields, one of the specialty cocktails on the menu. She really enjoyed it. I ordered a simple dry Waterloo #9 gin martini. My martini arrived with heavy greenish-yellow tint which no regular martini should ever have. This cocktail (I'm not calling it a martini) was mostly vermouth with a bit of gin. I returned it and they made me another. This one still had a lot of vermouth and was by no means dry. Contrary to what you may think from reading this review, I actually *rarely* complain or send anything back, so I just drank the second martini. For an appetizer we ordered the cornbread & pimento. The flavors were good. My only criticism is that there's a mismatch in textures such that it's difficult to spread the pimento on the cornbread muffins without the muffins falling apart. If I was able to keep the muffin together, then I wasn't pressing the pimento spread on hard enough to stick on the muffins long enough to get it to my mouth. One of either the cornbread texture and format or the pimento texture ought to be changed (likely the former). For entrees my wife ordered the special Iberico pork schnitzel, and I ordered the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak was okay; the breading wasn't terribly crisp and the mashed potatoes had a few unwieldly unmashed potato chunks: I'm ok with a few chunks in my country mashed potatoes but I had to remash some big chunks with my fork before eating. The spaetzl that came with the schnitzel was really good. However, my wife cut into her schnitzel and some parts were cooked, while other parts were near raw. Keep in mind that this is pork, not beef. I like my beef medium-rare but that's a no-no for pork. We informed our waiter and he returned the schnitzel to the kitchen. The manager (I presume, since he was in a random t-shirt rather than a staff uniform) returned with the schnitzel. He informed us that it wasn't really undercooked, that it's just pink because Iberico pork has a pink color to it. However, he didn't offer an explanation for why, after he had the chef cook it longer, lo and behold the pink is gone. I guess I should've taken a picture before sending it back but I didn't expect to have a disagreement about pork doneness with the manager of a restaurant. I grill a lot: Maybe three times a week, pretty much year around. I know what underdone meat looks like. It's not just the color, it's whether the flesh is bleeding. Parts of this pork schnitzel was done, but parts were bleeding, like maybe cooked to 125 degrees. It was the thicker parts that were less done. Maybe the meat was really cold/partially frozen when they started, which would account for a large variance between the thicker vs thinner parts as well. Also, schnitzel ought to be pounded out to unform thickness to avoid this sort of thing -- that's one of the hallmark characteristics of schnitzel. Regardless, I'm extremely disappointed (to say the least) that the manager tried to pass this off as an Iberian pink attribute rather than coming clean and trying to compensate for the mistake. Last, for what it is, our dinner felt like it's 30-40% overpriced: two cocktails, one cornbread appetizer, one ok entree and one undercooked entree for $109. The wait staff is young, but they are enthusiastic and work hard. The manager on duty is in the wrong line of work. read more

When they opened there were mixed reviews, but they seem to have everything in order now!! Absolutely one of the best meals I have had in ages. Everything was delicious.

The absolute best cheesecake I have ever had. Definitely recommend the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake. The rest of the food and cocktails were pretty good. No complaints. I love that everything is local. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the plates were a little over priced for the portion sizes. read more

This is our second visit here within a week and we love it!! The food is fantastic, different but plenty of variety so do not let that shy you away!! The portions are small yes, but the point is to get the large- DELICIOUS sides! Our waitress, Vanessa, who we've had both times is excellent. She is quick, sweet, attentive and patient. The atmosphere makes it the complete package- away from all the noise/traffic of the weekenders in town but beautiful in its design and ambiance. You can see there was a lot of love poured into this establishment, and you can feel it too. We'll be back for sure!!! To note on the review about the septic, there was no smell... must have been a bad Friday and to the reviewer- welcome to the perks of owning a business in the beautiful hill country! Being on well water and having a septic tank grant unpredictable circumstances. Don't let that be a flaw to this business, it happens to the best of us. read more

Very cute modern rustic barn style, with indoor and outdoor seating. All the staff are super friendly, sweet, and attentive. The tostada is a small plate (so more of a snack) and the burger was incredible (a little messy so beware) and the tater tots that came with it were crispy and seasoned. It is a little pricey, but definitely a good date night or special occasions place to eat. read more

Venue: Out on a country road on the edge of The Texas Hill Country. It's new and pretty and inviting. We are on the patio area which was perfect! Food: Very nice variety of food choices without being overwhelming. Everything I tasted had a special touch to make it extra delicious. Service: Super friendly. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Recommendation: Go have a meal and then take a run into Wimberley for some fun shopping. Or go swimming in the Blanco River. read more

To all the cheap people on here complaining about prices, keep in mind you can always go to McDonalds or Burger King. You can also easily look at online menus to decide if a place is above your standards. I've been to Hildees 3-4 times and the staff is great, ambiance is perfect and the food is really good. I don't mind paying for a good meal and adding in a nice tip as well. Some of you need to get off your high horse. You ain't that special. read more

Hildee's Dine-Inn - Best burger I've had in a long time with homemade tots. We all loved it. Can't wait to come back! - Southern Near Me - Wimberley, Texas

there is no doubt the food is great here. However the pricing is no where near in touch with reality. My lady and I split a plate of fajitas. It came with 2 (regular sized) tortillas, so of course when we were ready for seconds we requested more tortillas. The wait staff said they would be an additional $2.00 for two tortillas. I get they need to charge or not just give them out. Come on. The meal way already on the pricey side. This was the tipping point for us. I refuse to go back to a place that wants to Nickle and Dime their clients. read more

Second time here. Was very good, again. Clean restaurant with great indoor and outdoor space. Nice playscape for the kids. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. This place is exactly what this place should be, they're not trying to be something they're not like we see with many new hill country restaurants these days. Each dish is well thought out using fresh ingredients. After today's meal I thought to myself, was this really the best burger I've ever had? The tater tots were probably the best tots I've ever had. Kudos for keeping it delicious and real. Excited to go here again. read more
