    Fried brussel sprouts
    Marc T.

    Stopped here for lunch while shopping in Wimberly. Friendly staff, great service, and nice setup. We had fried brussels sprouts, followed by a Cobb salad and Reuben. All were very good. Would definitely recommend for a lunch, or coming back when the bar is open for a happy hour and dinner.

    As Austinites, the Leaning Pear has been one of our top 10 Austin restaurants for over 15 years!! Yes, it's so good we extend our definition of Austin to include it. Extremely consistent, great food for an extremely reasonable price it is without a doubt one of the best values in Central TX. The pretzel sticks are perfectly seasoned and come out hot and delicious everytime. We're not crab cake people, but LP's crab cake is AMAZING perfectly cooked with tons of real crab and amazing southwest favor with corn and peppers. Cocktails are also amazing. Short summary is we haven't had a bad dish at LP. I also enjoy seeing much of the same staff over years, it feels like an indication that management also takes care of their people. If you're in Wimberley, don't miss out on Leaning Pear!!!

    My husband and I decided to go to The Leaning Pear for lunch. We drove to Wimberly and arrived at the restaurant. The parking lot appeared full but luckily we found parking near the restaurant. As we walked in we saw the hostess stand and waited a few minutes. We were eventually greeted by a nice woman that asked us where we wanted to sit. The restaurant has inside and outside seating. We told her outside and she took us to our seats. The outside is nice and shaded with several places to sit. There is a view of the trees. After being seated we waited for a few minutes then we were greeted by a friendly waitress. She gave us our menus and explained how to use the QR code to see the menu on our phones. She then asked us what we wanted to drink and left to give us time to decide on what we wanted. She returned after a few minutes and took our order. I asked for her opinion on the pizzas and she let me know her thoughts. She did an excellent job throughout the meal. She checked in on us frequently and refilled our waters often. We decided to share the Wood Fired Esquites. It comes with street corn, mozzarella, queso, cilantro and tortilla chips. This was delicious and addicting. The corn was sweet and the other ingredients added flavor. My husband ordered the Corn Beefed Reuben. It comes with brisket, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. I tried it and it was a little too sour for me but my husband loved it. I ordered a Fried Chicken sandwich that came with cheddar cheese, a purple cabbage slaw, and a crema sauce. The sandwich was really good. The chicken was thick, tender and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The crema gave the sandwich a little bit of flavor while the cheddar cheese eventually melted into the cabbage. The combined ingredients gave the sandwich a nice blend of texture and flavor. We also decided to share the Cedar Hacker Pizza which comes with capicola, onions, olives, mozzarella cheese, and provolone cheese. The pizza was really good. The main crust was soft and kind of floppy but the outer portion of the crust was light and airy. I don't usually eat capicola but it was tasty. The onions and olives added flavor and the cheese was gooey. A nice combination of ingredients. My husband wanted to share a dessert to finish off this awesome meal. So we decided to try the Lemon Panna Cotta. It comes with blueberry compote. This dessert was amazing. It was light and milky and the blueberry compote was tasty. Overall it was a great place to try for a lunch during the week. The restaurant exterior had a nice view, the service was really good, and the food was delicious.

    Cup of soup

    We went to The Leaning Pear in Wimberley for brunch, and it was such a fun experience! I went with a few girlfriends, and we were lucky to get a beautiful day to sit out on the patio--it's super cute and has a really relaxed vibe. The service was amazing, and parking was easy, which I always appreciate. I ordered the migas (without chorizo), and they were happy to accommodate my request, which I loved. I also shared a cup of soup with a friend, and it was delicious. For drinks, I had the Oh My Gord Pumpkin Mule, and it was very festive and definitely worth trying if it's on the menu. After brunch, we were able to walk around to a bunch of cute nearby shops, which made the day even better. Great food, friendly staff, and the perfect Wimberley atmosphere, I'd absolutely recommend it!

    Meatloaf hash
    Sam K.

    Had a pretty solid brunch at The Leaning Pear on a Sunday early afternoon. The Sunday Sausage Sando was surpisingly filling and really tasty. The home fries it came with weren't my favorite (a bit too greasy and not crispy imo) but overall a decent meal! My friend was intrigued by the Meatloaf Hash (never would have thought to make a breakfast meal out of meatloaf) and enjoyed it as well. We got the cookies and cream dessert to wrap up our meal. The three cookies it came with weren't all excellent. Service was fairly good, but being a Sunday during brunch hour, our waiter was a bit occupied with other tables and it took some time to get our food as well as our water topped off. Additionally, it would have been more convenient to be able to make a reservation, but unfortunately that was not an option available. We ended up waiting over 45 minutes for a table indoors. Overall, I'd recommend this as a solid brunch option in Wimberley if you have time to wait around for a table.

    We stopped here based on Yelp reviews and were pleased that we did. We shared an an order of freshly baked pretzel sticks. They came with mustard and cheese spread. Delightful! We shared an entree of the Ruben sandwich. It was simply delicious and filling. Chips come on the side. Service was great too, thanks "Sunshine".

    My friends and I are in Wimberley on a girls trip, and we arrived around 1:30 pm on a Friday. The restaurant is extremely cute and airy, and there are A LOT of gluten-free options. I had the pepperoni pizza on GF crust (not pictured) and a blackberry mule (it's whiskey based). One of my friends got the macaroni skillet and described it as "sinfully wonderful." Other friends got sandwich options or a salad, and we had zero complaints about our food! Everything was wonderful. Martin was our server and was extremely attentive and pleasant throughout our late lunch. We will definitely be back!

    Kimchi fritters, small Leaning Pear salad, and ham kale soup.
    Marianne L.

    We love Leaning Pear and their seasonal menus. They lean into sustainable practices and farm to table protein and produce. You really taste the difference. The service is friendly and quick. I'm not crazy about the salads coming out at the same time as the main entree, but mainly because we had a small table. The Kimchi hush puppies were hot, crispy and flavorful. The ham kale soup was smoky and rich. The restaurant is beautiful and despite the size, is broken into sections which makes it feel more intimate. Love the outside patio. I find the prices very reasonable.

    Mangonada
    Josh P.

    We stopped by this weekend for some early dinner and drinks with friends. Nice place but a bit rowdy outside with lots of unsupervised kids running around. Servers were nice and seemed to be hustling so they were likely understaffed as service was a bit slow. To drink, the girls had the pink frozen gin drinks and I had the mangonada. Both were pretty delicious but the mangonadas take awhile to to be served so be prepared. I was originally going to get a craft beer but the selection was pretty limited. To eat, we shared the pretzels and the sprouts. The pretzels were decent but the sprouts stood out for me, which is a bit surprising based on my normal preferences. To eat, we shared a 1/2 rueben, 1/2 pimento cheese (its cool they let you do 1/2s), and a small house salad. The salad was fantastic with the pecans and vinaigrette and of the two sandwiches, I'd lean to the pimento cheese.

    The restaurant was pretty with a great vibe. The food was just ok. One person out of our group of 7 liked her food. Everyone else thought it was average or didn't like it.

    Kids menu
    Lauren R.

    Stopped by when we were in the area after a swim at the Blue Hole, looking for a good place for kids. Sadly, the playground was down for construction, but we still loved our visit. They sat us on the shaded patio, which was very pleasant with fans despite the heat (wasn't very humid that day). We could hear live music being played nearby as a soundtrack to our meal. The food choices were plenty and a nice mix of classic flavors and more unique takes. I decided on the chicken and waffles, husband got the reuben. Both were delicious. The chicken and waffle was such an interesting blend of flavors that I kept eating just to experience it. Savory and sweet, but also nuanced. Kids got a pimiento sandwich and grilled cheese and love them. Service was split between two servers for the patio. Probably would have been better if they each divided up tables, but we were never left waiting too long. The only complaint I had was that we were told there was a wait for indoor seating when we arrived, but the inside remained mostly empty the entire time we were there, and no tables prepped for large parties or anything. I got the feeling they seated all parties with kids outside, which I get, but hope that they let them inside when it gets any hotter.

    Can we get reservations on Wednesday June 9 at 11:30am for two people? If not what do you have available?

    Last time we ate there, they did not take reservations. You can call the restaurant for more information.

    This is a stretch but I'm hoping someone can help us. We visited for lunch back in September 2020 and had a pecorino wine that was SO good. Can anybody tell me what the label was? PLEASE and thank you!

    So glad you liked it, Molly...one of our favorites as well...Cheers! https://www.umanironchi.com/en/wines/vini_abruzzo/pecorino_vellodoro

    What are some vegan options? Thanks!

    Right now we are running with a limited menu but our Curry is vegan and we *usually* have a vegan soup on the board too. Of course there are salads and pizzas that we will happily modify to make them vegan. Cheers!

I'm sure they were frustrated with it, but they kept their patience with my challenges. I highly recommend calling in an order ahead as when I arrived there were plenty of folks waiting and more driving in. And it was a week night! I ordered a whole pie. It was "The Mop". It's essentially a meatball & onion pizza with mozzarella, parmesan and tomato sauce. It was a HUGE pie and I definitely thought I got my money's worth. Especially how tasty it was. Definitely a new source of take out dinners. I was expecting the meatballs to be, like, sliced meatballs. They were tasty and huge circles, just not what I was expecting. Pro-tip: this is Wimberley. Parking is going to be tough depending on what time of day and what season. So put that into consideration. Just west of their food truck is a drive to a decent parking behind. If you don't see roadside parking nearby, make sure to slide in there for a check.

One of my favorite things is that they offer pizza by the slice, depending on what they're serving that day -- and from what I understand, they always have pepperoni slices available, which is a plus. When you walk in, you can actually see them making the pizza from scratch, including hand-stretching the dough and tossing it in the air. It's a fun and unique touch that adds to the experience. They have a good amount of seating both inside and outside. Since this is Texas, outdoor seating can be a bit of a gamble weather-wise, but it's nice to have the option. Parking can be a little tricky, but when we went on a Sunday night, it wasn't bad at all. The service was great -- everyone was friendly, helpful, and very attentive, which made the visit even better. They also have a solid selection of alcohol and seasonal drinks, which pairs well with the pizza. For the kids, we grabbed a cookie, and it was very delicious -- definitely recommend it as a sweet treat after your meal. Overall, if you're in the area and want to try a place that's a bit out of the ordinary, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Pie Society and giving it a try.

We were so impressed we spoke with the Owner and the Chef. We went back for the following New Year's Eve. The food was undercooked and service was horrible. We found out the Chef was not there.

We were given a 2 top table in the corner where fir some reason the air conditioner was blowing directly on us! By the way it was 49 degrees outside. We mentioned this to our waitress who replied with a shrug. We ordered. I ordered the strawberry feta salad and the off menu appetizer. My husband ordered the lasagna with a salad. My salad was superb! The appetizer that I was having as my entree and my husband's meal finally came out. His dinner was plated horribly!! The lasagna was warm ( not hot) and the salad was in the plate so when he added dressing it ran into the lasagna. My crawfish crab cake was a joke. It literally had two pieces of chopped crawfish in it. The main dish was the tomatoes and basil for $26. Never did our waitress say that the appetizer was quite small and I probably should not order it as a small entree. Oh well, we have learned. Obviously the restaurant stays busy and I congratulate them on what is being done right!
